Nigel Benn Steroid Claim - 16 years later..........

[Mar]

....too long ago for me to care either way. Even floyd's steroid detection team thinks this is riddiculous.

On another note without specualting to much if this is a way to get some sort of financial gain by G-Mans family, this is quite low. I know people in desperate situations do desperate things.But after what Nigel did few years back bit sad to see.

Nigel Benn off his own back in 2007 organised a fund raising night for G-MAN in and got alot of past and present fighters with deep pockets to attend, and in the end raised $300k for McLelland's family, which was a nice touch by Nigel.

There is video proof I posted on here a little while back of Mosely admitting he knew everything that was going on, that he was cheating. Then he has a fight that has random testing and doe absolutely shite!

It makes me feel sorry for Mayorga, although he has taken diuretics to lose weight he hasnt tried turning his body in to a weapon by being faster, stronger or be able to fight for longer. If there had been random testing in their fight I believe Mayorga would have won!

Ok I certainly didn't want to turn this thread into a doping conversation, but i have to take issue with this.
Mosley nearing forty years of age, fought the most technically accomplished fighter of our generation and went the distance. Along the way he managed to rock Mayweather and although he was never active enough. I wouldn't deem that a "shite" performance.

Additionally, Shane Mosley was accused of HGH use for the De la Hoya fight only. Having competed at world title level for so so many years that is the only fight in which anything suspect was detected. That does not mean that Mosley was not tested on numerous occasions throughout his career. Given that he was involved with Balco and finally admitted to having used the Cream and the Clear, it would be foolish to think that Mosley was not more stringently tested before and after all of his fights following the scandal.

Mayorga was a relatively recent fight. That merely means that the fight took place having benefited from the lastest of testing methods which are more sensitive to supplements, performance enhancing chemicals and hormone levels. It is safe to say whatever occurred in the past, Shane Mosley was an aged fighter whose body was clean for the Mayorga fight.

And he still stopped Mayorga hard.

Mayorga admitted to using EPO, I believe he used something in the Mayorga and Margarito fights, he didnt tire in those fights like he did with Cotto and Floyd.

This is a video of Mosely admitting hes a filthy cheat

I remember seeing how hard Benn trained on the way up. He was a fitness freak and had trained hard in the Army before becoming a Professional boxer.

There's no way he took PED's.

If you believe that he did I will not be able to change your mind here.
But with testing at the level it is recently, it would be nearly impossible to use anything without being caught in a World Title fight.

I don't mean to disregard the video, but it is a very one sided portrayal of the interview in how it shows certain answers and cuts the subsequent questions.

For fuucks sake!! Are you delusional!! Are you saying you still dont believe that Mosely took EPO!!

CAnt remember what film its from but this reminds me of the little kid that cries and says "Say it aint so!!"

Mosely is a filthy cheat!

No worries, name mix ups happen.

Delusional? Not that I know of?

I know Mosley took EPO, he admitted it, His father admitted it, his whole team was taken apart because of it.
But...Mosley to this day is adamant that he believed he was acting within the rules of our sport and pleads ignorance of the substance.

The reason I'm taking issue with this is that Shane was only accused of EPO use for the De la Hoya fight.
As a fighter myself I know the level of testing that now exists in the sport. At World title level this testing is even more thorough and intensive. Had Mosley used EPO in fights such as Mayorga and Margarito it most certainly would have been detected.
