Floyd Mayweather Jr's 'drug crusade' takes a major hit from the NSAC. How will Floyd Jr respond?

When your own home state doesn't even back you, then you are in trouble. The Nevada State Athletic Commission slammed the door shut on the USADA, Travis Tygart, random blood testing, and Floyd Mayweather's 'drug crusade'.

During a commission meeting on urine testing vs. random blood testing the NSAC determined that random blood testing should have a cut-off date and that urine should be the predominant substance tested.

Blood Testing is Not Necessary

One of the more controversial statements to come out of this commission meeting was from Dr. Watson when he said that testing blood is not necessary.

'I believe that urine is the best substance to test,' and that 'blood testing is not necessary.' Dr. Watson, Boxing Examiner

I understand the arguments for certain cut-off dates and other factors that go into when or how often a blood test should be taken, but to say that's not even necessary is absurd. Urine can't detect some of these elite PEDs like HGH.

HGH

HGH is arguably the most predominant PED out there due to the lack of efficiency in catching those using this drug. Because the USADA's rates of catching those using it, Dr. Voy, NSAC expert witness, suggest that there's nothing that can be done about it so blood testing is not needed.

"HGH is out there and there's not much we can do about it." Dr. Voy, Boxing Examiner

Are you kidding me, so instead of having an imperfect drug testing system for HGH, you rather not have one at all? How does that make any sense? Seatbelts don't always save lives, so let's just get rid of them too. This is absolutely ignorant. Yes, I understand Dr. Voy has a higher level of understanding but does that mean he's right? How many experts can each side call before you go crazy trying to figure who's right and wrong? How is additional testing a bad thing especially if you have a cut-off date?...
