I finally watched the Fight Game with Jim Lampley and I was a little disgusted that he insinuated Juan Manuel Marquez might had been on PEDs and Donaire has set the standard for Olympic testing. I wasn't upset that Donaire was mentioned as the poster child of PED testing, what I was upset about was the fact Mayweather's name was never mentioned. Before Floyd no one talked about strict blood testing. He started with I believe Juan Manuel for the first drug testing. People actually called him a coward for demanding strict drug testing. You would think people would had been behind better testing in boxing with the history of steroid use in the sport. It really did shock me how Donaire is getting credit for OSDT in all his fights. I know he gets tested year around and kudos to him but to not mention Floyd as the starter of blood testing is a joke and slap in the face to Floyd. All of a sudden Lampley and everyone else is now demanding harder drug testing because Manny got caught with a great counter punch. The hypocrisy in boxing is amazing. Just because the Golden Goose got laid to rest boxing is now corrupt. Maybe I am tripping but you can not give credit to a guy who followed another guys example, the media picks their heroes no matter what history says...and Columbus discovered America.

Floyd didn't set shit did he now, he was so afraid of losing his 0 he made it so for his fights, maybe even his cards so he doesn't look like a bitch there had to be ODST. He didn't do it for a clean sport he did it to protect that 0

You can keep holding on to your speculation that you knew Floyd's "motive" all you want. The morals of the matter, though, like others have also implied, is that the advantages to boxing of little Floyd's pioneering effort in promoting proper testing to discourage blatant or casual doping in boxing, far outweigh any ulterior motive there could have been.

And it keeps getting increasingly so with each passing day and each passing bout.

Little Floyd therefore deserves his proper credit for having pioneered this cause. Such facts and attendant credit shouldn't be wished away or rubbished - certainly not on the basis of speculative thinking.
