Shane Mosley has already been tested for drugs five times

 It has been a big issue for team Pacquiao about this Olympic Style Drug Testing that Floyd is demanding which turned out to be the factor why the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight has not come into reality.

Now it is up for Mayweather vs Mosley Fight. Mosley has been tested 5 times already. Please read this article below.

World Boxing Association welterweight champion Shane Mosley has already been tested five times for drugs, according to Boxing Fanhouse. Mosley, 38, isn’t bothered at all by the blood tests for the urinalysis, and sees it as a good thing. Both Mosley and Floyd Mayweather Jr. have agreed to the United States Anti-Doping Agency testing protocols for their May 1st bout at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Mosley says “I could see how fighters would not like this…But at the same time, I kind of like it. It’s truly a good thing. I think that it’s great for the sport.”

The tests for steroids and human growth hormone will continue to be randomly conducted for both fighters up until their fight next month on May 1st. One would hope that the Olympic style drug tests that Mayweather and Mosley are using for their fight be adopted by the Nevada and New York Athletic Commissions so that more rigorous testing will be done for boxers. As of now, only urine is checked. The problem that might prevent the blood testing to be implemented by the two commissions is the cost. It would likely cost more money for fighters to be randomly tested rather than having them take the usual urinalysis.
