As you can see in subsection 2 article f, the NSAC clearly defers to the WADA to provide the definitive prohibited substance list.


Here is a direct link to that list.

That's a lot of stuff, I had no idea the WADA listed so much stuff.

[killersheep]

So that leads to the next logical question how does the WADA determine how to check for banned substances?

An exhaustive list on testing criteria is listed here:
http://www.wada-ama.org/Documents/Wo...ng_2009_EN.pdf

Reasons for testing includes:

from 4.4.2

reason e) Behaviour indicating doping
reason f) Sudden major improvements in performance
reason m) Financial incentives such as prize money, or sponsorship opportunities.

You can make the argument that this applies to most of if not all major prize fighters at some point in there careers, to which I would agree.
So why not set an example with the biggest potential fight of our time?

F**K, I duno how any elite/profesional athlete could not worry bout such random drug tests, with a list that long and extensive!

I can see y Pac and any other professional athlete bar Floyd Mayweather jr would be relectant to take these tests... By the look of that list it would take much for any type of illegal substance to be found in one's system, even just the most minimal of amounts... I mean nasal spray's r on that lists...

Thanks for the info killersheep

No problem, the issue is that the NSAC is not testing for all banned substances listed on their own list (as they only do urinalysis). While I can understand this may be a slight inconvenience (certainly not as big as Pacquiao's camp is making it out to be). It could do nothing but benefit the sport as a whole to implement stricter testing.

Big intimidating looking list I'm sure but that's besides the point...

It's the ammount, not the substance which is the issue.
EPO, HGH etc are all naturally occurring hormones produced by the body... obviously so a red blood cells.

A lot of those are to protect the candidate, not his opponent too... aspirin etc isn't going to give an advantage... but they don't want you taking a copious cocktail of diuretics, prescription pain meds, stimulants that can fuck your heart over etc during something that they are sanctioning... can of worms that could harm you.

You must be kidding, Aspirin is a huge advantage with its anti-inflammatory properties especially during pre-fight buildup.

[TheBranMan]

Good post, and you make some good points. Boxing needs more conclusive testing in place. It's a pitty that it may cost us one of the biggest fights in history, though

[Youngblood]

You can't drink alcohol apparantly in certain sports, so the prohibited list reads. A few of mention: auto racing, power boating, karate, 10 pin bowling, and archery. ha

BTW, that was a joke. asprin is actually used as blood thinner. When I fist look at this list I thought you were joking. I think they have gone overboard by not having exceptions for therapy. I've been reading articles where Athletes have had to pull out of games for testing positive on over the counter products.
