Dr. Al's Patented Weight Cutting Technique
Potentially dangerous hoax. Google gives nothing for "patented weight cutting technique", and nothing for various spellings of "allen umberidgson". There are plenty of hits for "Tyrell Biggs", but though the article claims Dr Al is his trainer, there are no hits for "Tyrell Biggs" + "Dr Al". DS 12:39, 1 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Why the hell is this up for deletion? It's an insightful look into the weight cutting of the boxing world. User:CLW

 * '''It only says that Dr. Al was Tyrell Biggs' one time trainer, at an amateur gym, so why would there be hits for him on google? User: RHaworth 220.245.178.132
 * Stop impersonating other users . That's a blockable offense. --Blackcap | talk 13:35, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * And if he's that non-notable, then why is he here? --Blackcap | talk 13:37, 1 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete as hoax. As an aside, this is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. As a boxer and a weightlifter myself, I can personally attest that no one in their right mind would do something as totally ridiculous and bad for one's own health as to induce vomiting and diarrhoea to make a weigh-in, especially in boxing, when you can often just go up to the next tier. There's no cut-off for heavyweights, all weights are allowed of boxing, so before the weigh-in, you'd just sign up for the next class. If you need to lose weight that badly, then you're in the wrong weight division. --Blackcap | talk 13:33, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. feydey 15:41, 1 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete per all of the above. Also, even if every word is true, an encyclopedia isn't the place for weight-loss techniques.  Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd  15:51, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
