		<description>Zak, 

Pugmire reports that Mosley fought in Vegas twice since 2003 (article from 2007)

http://articles.latimes.com/2007/sep/29/sports/sp-mosley29


What gets me is the smugness of the USADA and other heads of the doping agencies trying to portrary that their methods, machines, analysis AND interpretation of data are infallible:

		<description>The USADA should not throw stones.... They live in a huge glass house.

Gegard Mousasi vs. King Mo is being heavily rumored for Strikeforce on CBS.  I&#039;m conflicted by this fight.  Very good fight and it&#039;s the best LHW Title fight Strikeforce can make.  However, they completely rushed King Mo into a title fight before he was ready.  He is going from Mike Whitehead to Gegard Mousasi.  Their lack of challengers has forced them to potentially kill a prospect.

It also is more proof that CBS doesn&#039;t care about Strikeforce long term.  They care about milking what they are worth ASAP.  This could have easily been built up to a great PPV co-main event by the end of the year.  Instead, they are giving it away for free.

Every day that passes, Network TV looks more and more like a horrible option for any MMA organization... that includes the UFC.  They care about content now and have no care about building up the sport for the future.</description>

		<description>Strict drug-testing should be par for the course for any championship fight. The most up to date testing procedures should be used at all times. The fighter should be tested at the beginning and middle of his training camp and then right before the fight. Cost should never be an issue and should be deducted directly from the fighters&#039; fight purses.

Cash rewards should be in place for fighters who become aware of the newest cheating agents and report it to the commissions.

Fighters competing in fights outside the US should still be tested by US athletic commissions if those fighters plan to fight in America ever again.

Any state that hosts a championship fight must have an athletic commission in place and that athletic commission must test the fighters as stringently as the New York or Nevada commissions would. Any fighter that competes in a state that uses lax drug testing as a benefit would be blackballed from Nevada and New York. 

No fighter should ever have to ask for that his opponent be drug tested during fight negotiations, because both fighters being stringently tested for illegal agents would happen automatically.</description>

		<description>Thanks, Zak, you beat me to it.  You are 100% correct. 

&quot;Remember this&quot; track coach Trevor Graham sent a syringe containing the clear to investigators in 2003.  

http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/more_sports/2009/10/24/2009-10-24_track_coach_trevor_graham.html

Also &quot;remember this&quot; several US Olympians used PED&#039;s and were undetected in the 2000 Olympics.  

Bear in mind the USADA head is trying to sell a product.  Just listen to his corporate talk with &quot;clean athletes&quot; and &quot;clean programs&quot;.  Obviously Olympic style drug programs aren&#039;t the end all be all.  Who would be surprised in a few years to find out that Ussain Bolt was on something in 2008.  

All this pseudo-science stuff being brought up in recent weeks to support Floyd Mayweather&#039;s position is ridiculous.  Maybe it would be a little more difficult to cheat if what the USADA wants to do was done.  The point remains Floyd is still just using all of this to duck Manny.</description>

		<description>Considering that Mosley took the &quot;clear&quot; and the &quot;cream&quot; and the USADA didn&#039;t know that THG (aka the &quot;clear&quot;) even existed until June of 2003 (Mosley fought in September) I think it is safe to say that Shane did take something &quot;sophisticated&quot;</description>
