Some of you people are just quick to believe everything that you read, especially about a black fighter. When Oscar got caught using drugs and dressing like a woman, it was funny and cool. When Ricky Hatton started using, that got swept under the rug. Antonio is clean and I think this is straight B.S. Not all of these black fighters who are supreme are using...that's B.S. I think it's racial and just a bunch of reason to doubt Blacks as the superior athlete. Bottom Line!!! I love how people jump on the band wagon of lies and wrongdoing, but when a fighter is doing great, he is fake and not being himself (especially African American fighters). Tell you what, let's bring all of the white and hispanic fighters together and test them too. Let's start with Miguel Cotto and then on to Pac Man. Funny how Pac Man has NEVER gotten tested and still running around fighting and winning (except Timothy Bradley fight). But this is why athletes especially black ones go overseas. Just so a black man won't make more money than the "supposed" smart white man. Now I am starting to understand why MMA was created, to cater to the "White" crowd. For you people believing this because you dislike black people...go kill yourself.

First of all, Tarver is a BUMMM! This is one of the most overrated fighters I have ever seen. If he didn't have such a big mouth and knocked Roy Jones out, he would not even be a blip on the radar. I fully expect that a bum like him would use steroids but then again, steroids is used by pros in all sports and they predominantly get away with it. I just feel that it does not matter whether Tarver's bum $@% took steroids or not because I can't stand watching him in the ring anyway!

That style of testing is the kind people have snuck through, which is why Floyd wants it. VADA is what needs to be used on EVERY fighter. If you knew a damn thing about boxing, you'd know that much.

Players in the NBA say 'gay' and get a $50k fine; Tarver cheats the sport of boxing, $2500. Seems fair enough...

I'd never expect Che Guevara to work for an imperialist, capitalist regime like the California State Athletic Commission.

A fine of $2500? Are you $@%!$@%! me? Is that supposed to dissuade a fighter from that 1M payday? What a joke.

Dodd said the commission has suspended Tarver -- who earned $1 million for the fight -- and fined him $2,500. Why only $2,500? In MMA fighters get fined 25-50% of their purse. Its the same commission so why only $2,500?

This dirty test makes the money Tarver made for this terrible bout even harder to swallow. Antonio will go down as a guy who was lucky enough to be lined up against Roy Jones at the end of his prime -- and won't get in the Hall.

It's weird for me because Tarver doesn't look like a fighter on roids.

James Toney tested positive for steroids at one point. Has he EVER looked like a fighter on roids? (Hardly a great selling point for PEDs.)

VADA = caught two boxers of taking illegal substance this year. CSAIC - urine testing = caught 1 this year. NSAIC - urine testing = caught 3 since last year. USADA = caught none this year and even in previous years.... do you think USADA has a better performance than the three testing agency????this is why Floyd loves USADA very much.....

ccrosbie33

If USADA was harmless Manny would have taken a test. Just because USADA hasn't caught anyone doesn't mean it's not better -- it's just those submitting to it know they're clean. It's the idiots thinking they're spoofing the system getting caught by the other methods.

Or Maybe the reason they haven't caught anyone is because there test is too hard to beat....it is like why is the crime rate higher here than there? sure we catch more criminals in one state than others but it doesn't mean that one is safer or better than the other. Floyd test is done on the biggest stage where there is huge money to be made. I imagine a fighter would not attempt to cheat under those circumstances.
