    Default Re: Is VADA too strict?

    Couple of things to note:

    Floyd uses USADA not VADA, because USADA was in his pocket and wrote him exemptions for stuff like the IV he received before the pac fight. VADA is the more stringent of the two and run by Dr. Margaret Goodman. The ring doctor in vegas for many fights in the 90's (working in tandem with Flip Homansky)

    -High blood pressure medications keep the arteries open and so the heart doesn't have to work as hard to get oxygenated blood to the organs which means it does the same for muscles. This will save someone from a heart attack or stroke but could benefit a healthy person in a training regimen. Just because you have it prescribed to you to fix an issue, doesn't mean your not receiving the benefits of the medicine. One could easily ask what a person naturally in danger of a heart attack or stroke (without the meds) is doing getting punched in the head/chest for a living. As Spicoli said, Ortiz has been popped before...

    I think the WADA has a much broader list because they are charged with regulating international competition like the Olympics and world championships and people take that super seriously because its not about paychecks (its endorsements possible for the athletes) but for countries its all about nationalistic pride (which leads to morale, control, compliance) so countries do anything to get their athletes to the medal ceremony.

    They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
