LAS VEGAS -- If Shane Mosley wanted the Mayweathers’ steroid rants to dissipate, he might have taken the wrong tack in telling a Los Angeles radio station last week that Floyd Mayweather might have “dabbled” in steroids and that the Grand Rapids native’s security team appears to be filled with steroid-riddled bodyguards.
The response Monday was as strong as ever.
Mayweather suggested Mosley lied to a grand jury during the BALCO investigation three years ago by saying he unwittingly used steroids, saying Mosley knew exactly what he was doing and deserved the same fate as former track star Marion Jones, who served six months for lying to federal agents in the same investigation.
“We do know this: We know that Shane lies under oath,” Mayweather said. “So we know one thing that is going to happen. If Marion Jones went to jail, we know that Shane is going to jail. That's one thing we do know he's going to do. He's going to do some time."
Mayweather bristled at Mosley’s remarks and said he doesn’t know whether his rival in Saturday’s welterweight showdown -- whose leaked grand jury testimony included an admission that he used steroids before winning his 2003 rematch with Oscar De La Hoya -- ever has won a big fight without performance-enhancing substances.
"Everybody's entitled to their own opinion,” Mayweather said. “Why would I bring USADA to the table, why would I bring the Olympic drug committee to the table, if I'm doing something? Why would I want to bust myself? That doesn't make sense.
“Then, I heard he spoke on my security, about them doing steroids. Why is you snitching? Why is you trying to put everybody on your steroid team? Like I said before, we don't really know how many fights Shane has won, being clean. We don't know. Has he ever been clean? Do we know? No, we don't know."
