 In a recent interview, Shane Mosley shared his thoughts on the controversy regarding Floyd Mayweather’s demands for Olympic-style random drug testing leading up to his highly-anticipated clash with Manny Pacquiao. “They could test me anyday they want to. I’m so clean. I’ve always been clean, till I was tricked, but it’s all good though. They could test me any day of the week. They’ve already tested me for the CBC blood test; okay whatever, let’s do it,” he stated when asked whether or not he would submit to the same type of testing if Mayweather requested it. “When they talk about steroids, they could test me right now. Matter fact they could test me when I retire. I’ve never taken steroids ever, ever. I would never knowingly take steroids ever. I don’t do that.”
Despite admitting in 2007 that he inadvertently took two designer steroids before his rematch with De La Hoya, Mosley insists that he’s never taken any steroid and would be more than willing to submit to blood testing 30 days before a bout. To paraphrase what Mosley would say in an interview with Boxinqtalk, he basically believes that the fact that Pacquiao is unwilling to do random blood tests leading up to the fight makes him look “questionable.” That being said, he did admit that he would prefer to take a test 30 days out as opposed to taking one the week of the fight. Perhaps to avoid also being named in a lawsuit, Mosley also made it clear that he was not accusing Pacquiao of using anything.
According to Mosley, guys like himself, Fernando Vargas and, James Toney have fallen victim to the unknown techniques implemented by strength & conditioning coaches. He maintains that he had no knowledge or details of all the supplements that he was taking and maintains the responsibility lies with the conditioning coaches. In fact, Mosley even goes so far as to blame Oscar De La Hoya’s own loss to Pacquiao, stating the “blood diet” that his conditioning coach had him on affected his ability to put on more weight. Why Mosley, again, an admitted user of BALCO steroids, would even bother to touch this issue remains a mystery. One can only assume that, as a partner with Golden Boy Promotions, he’s simply doing the bidding of the company that he works for. If that’s the case, then shame on Shane Mosley for helping Mayweather, who himself has repeatedly called Mosley a steroid user on numerous occassions. You have to wonder exactly how Mosley would feel if the shoe was on the other foot and it was his integrity that was brought into question. Then again, seeing as how Mosley already admitted to “unknowingly” using steroids, perhaps we already know everything there is to know about his integrity.

mosley already admitted that he took steroid and BALCO confirmed that,now he truing to take it back and has the balls to accuse pac ?mosley u should retire and be gone.
December 28th, 2009 at 1:00 AM
Why is everyone associated with Bolden Boy Promotions end up as zero-integrity lowlifes who would double-talk and not hesitate practicing hypocrisy for the love of money and for the hate of manny. i do not think mosley hates manny but he is still a GBP associate and is bound to abide by the GBP script so the ove for money prevails.

on the other hand, why is Hopkins the only articulate and level-headed dude. Hopkins will not kow tow to anyone and look at what happened, he’s 48 and still a winner and sitll speaks his mind on important issues with a lot of credibility.

Kids don’t take drugs! This is what happen when you take Drugs, exibit Mosley 101.
Mosley needs to think before he opens his Mouth and specially if he wants a fight with 2009 Fighter of the Year!
December 28th, 2009 at 12:30 PM
Biggest b**l Sh*t I ever heared from mosley. You dont deserve to deserve a piece of Pac to give you a big payday when your talking crap, the fact that your the one took steroid.
January 1st, 2010 at 12:28 AM
Seems like a death wish to be associated with Golden Gay Promotions this days. It has lost whatever credibility it once had, look at dela hoya all his fight predictions are fucking retarded. These guys think they can fool all boxing fans.
January 1st, 2010 at 4:04 AM
manny PEDquiao should be banned from professional boxing and all the money he won be returned! PEDquiao is using human growth hormones to enhance his performance!
January 1st, 2010 at 5:24 AM
Oh my mosley my, you’re in this BS because your hoping for a bigger payday from FMJr/GBP. How about self-respect, ALL you people are after cold cash. May I remind your common deniminator and Vargas vs dl Hoya is “S” plus the supposed bout with Judah did you under go the blood test? Well you are in perfect company! If fervently hope B Hopkins stay away from you’re BS. You better fight PacMan and both of you do the “tests” under the NSAC. Hope have enough money NOT to be fooled by GBP!
January 1st, 2010 at 2:12 PM

It’s very hard to fathom the state of mind of those who really entertained the “steroid circus” of Floyd “the joke” Sr. When he said that Pacquiao is on steroids/PED they immediately embraced such baseless allegation. But when Pacquiao said that “GOD IS THE SOURCE OF MY STRENGHT” nobody believed.
January 20th, 2010 at 2:03 AM
if pacman win against clottey,I want him to call out Kentucky Floyd chicken to fight in Dallas
and agree for random test!!! Let see what happen if Floyd really want to fight pacman without xylocaine lol lol lol!!!
January 20th, 2010 at 2:46 AM
mosley needs to make some noise so that he’ll get the attention and hopefully get the big fights and the recognition that he yearns for, but it shouldn’t be at the expense of others.
January 20th, 2010 at 3:27 AM
I guess the GBP people are in full house situation in the lawsuit! You to pay! and if you(GBP) dont, you will have a bad karma for the rest of your lives!
is there any Horse radish tree in US? that is Manny secret not XYLOCAINE or STEROIDS!
January 20th, 2010 at 3:29 AM
i had a lot of respect for Mosley before, but now.. he just a piece of S H I T!
January 20th, 2010 at 4:01 AM
mosley’s in need of money… he’s already bankrupted
January 20th, 2010 at 4:04 AM
Mosley better watch what you are saying to please GBP and the Maywweather camp. You haven’t landed that fight with Floyd yet, and going by Floyd’s track record, you probably never will, as Floyd will duck you in the same way he ducked Manny. Mosley, don’t burn your bridges. Don’t antagonize Manny with hints and suggestions of drug cheating. You might yet again find yourself shamefully begging for a fight with Manny, if that Floyd fight does not materialize.
January 20th, 2010 at 4:11 AM
Shame on Mosley, a known steroid user. He should not make remarks because he is a user. My respect for him is altogether lost.
January 20th, 2010 at 4:11 AM
floyd/mosley fight has even playing field and random drug testing not needed. they will fight without gloves in the ring and whoever takes more xylocaine and steroids before going groogy and knockdown will win. that’s fair fight for floyd and mosley.
January 20th, 2010 at 4:14 AM
Bullseye. Shane, look who’s talking? Shame on Shane
January 20th, 2010 at 4:25 AM
Mosley you have seen the 1st fight Between Pacquiao and Barrera and since then Pacquiao displays his speed, punching power and handspeed for the whole 9 rounds. Pacquiao already have the power and speed. I believe Pacquiao never used any PED.. But Mosley used steroids before he got caught already..
January 20th, 2010 at 4:56 AM
Look at all of this. This just confirms that the steroid allegation on Manny has destroyed his credibility - this should be an evidence to the suit he filed wherein his reputation was destroyed.

WHAT THE F… IS GOIN’ ON, MOST BOXER FROM AMERICA IS NOW JEALOUS OF MANNY PACQUAIO ‘CAUSE HE FIGHTS BETTER THAN ALL OF THEM INSIDE THE RING. TAKE A LOOK ON WHAT EVERYONE IS SAYING AND YOU WOULD NOTICE THAT IS PLAIN JEALOUSY AND TRASH TALKING. IF THEY REALLY WANT TO PROVED THAT THEY ARE BETTER THAN PACQAUIO, THEN PROVE IT INSIDE THE RING WITH BOTH OF THEIR FIST NOT WITH THEIR BIG MOUTH. NOBODY DOES IT BETTER INSIDE THE RING WHEN IT COMES TO BOXING BUT PACQUAIO. HE ENTERTAINS EVERYONE WILLING TO FIGHT HIM FOR 12 ROUNDS SOMETIMES LESS AND HE NEVER DUCKS HIS OPPONENT. LIKEWISE ALL THE NOGNOG BOXER OUT THERE IGNORES PACQUAIO BEFORE AND NOW THAT HE EXCELL IN WHAT HE DOES INSIDE THE RING, JEALOUSY WAS PLACED ON THEIR MIND. JUST TO REMIND THESE BOXER, FILIPINOS ARE SMART ALSO
ANS THEY ARE EVERYWHERE, HOSPITALS (NURSES), SHIPS, AND WHEN THEY LANDED AT THE HOSPITAL AFTER A BOXING WITH PACQUAIO, BE SURE THAT THEY DON’T TRASH TALK…..
January 20th, 2010 at 6:19 AM
The mayweathers and the gloden boys are like high school bullies. One humble man manny pacquiao against all these arrogant hypocrite people. Boxing fans around the world choose which side you want to be. It’s good vs evil.
January 20th, 2010 at 6:26 AM
I think from now on Pacquiao must include as requirements for an opponent these qualities:
-perfect gentleman (no trash talk)
-straight men, meaning not bi-sexual or gay
-good negotiator
ummmm what else?
the rest’ like the testing thing, just leave it to the proper authorities.
January 20th, 2010 at 6:26 AM
Shane: i just want to earn a million before i hang up my gloves…
Gay: i will not fight you man… respect me as a boxer… talk to my promoter…
pacman: magtulong pa kayo…
January 20th, 2010 at 6:54 AM
Mosley said he took steroids unknowingly, nobody told him it was an illegal substance that he was taking. Oh my God.! would you believe this guy? It’s like Margarito telling people that he did’nt know his gloves were loaded.
These guys are, in effect, telling us that they eat shit and continue to do so until somebody would tell them “don’t eat cause it’s shit”.
January 20th, 2010 at 6:56 AM
Shane Mosley is now out of his sanity. What a pity!
January 20th, 2010 at 7:19 AM
gayweather mosley stupid mouth!!!!!!
January 20th, 2010 at 7:22 AM
i thought you are something before, gentleman, somebody… now you are nobody to me… A***hole!
January 20th, 2010 at 9:45 PM
hey grandpa! you sounds like the mayweathers!
first: mayweather sr= convicted felon for drug peddling.
second: mayweather jr= a known xylocaine boy.
third: a PEDs confirmed user.
all accusing a proven cleaned fighter! shame on you boys..hahahahaha…
January 21st, 2010 at 12:26 AM
MOSELY IS AN IDIOT! HE IS DELA HOYA’S TOY NOW AND WHATEVER THAT CROSSDRESSER WILL SAY HE WILL FOLLOW JUST TO GET A GOOD FIGHT! WHO KNOWS MAYBE THIS FIGHT IS FIXED, AS YOU KNOW THE GOLDEN GAY PROMOTIONS IS THE WWF OF BOXING, EVERYTHING IS STAGE!
