Floyd Mayweather Jr and the welterweight champion Shane Mosley will undergo Olympic-style drug testing for their 1 May fight in Las Vegas that they hope will establish a new standard for boxing.

Representatives of the two fighters joined Travis Tygart of the US Anti-Doping Agency on a conference call for discussing the program that is more extensive than the testing that presently falls under the jurisdiction of state athletic commissions.

From Guardian.co.uk:

Mayweather and Mosley will be subjected to an unlimited number of unannounced blood and urine tests before and after the fight, and the results will be stored so USADA can test them in the future. The samples are screened for all drugs currently banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency, including human growth hormone and designer steroids such as THG.

Most state athletic commissions test only urine samples, which Tygart said cannot detect at least four performance-enhancing substances, including HGH.

“For the first time, you have professional athletes in the sport of boxing approaching us to implement an anti-doping programme,” Tygart said. “These athletes are courageous in their position and their desire to be held to the most stringent anti-doping standard.”
