Why won't Hopkins take the PED test? What is he afraid of?

[The Hammer]

So Bernard Hopkins has refused to take the proposed PED test before the rematch with Pascal.

What is he afraid of?

[The Hammer]

Poll is up.

What do you think?

Got a link, or is this sarcasm?

It's not in the contract so he doesn't have to do anything. Plus Jeam is just trying to get into BHop's head.

Because he doesnt want to

Pretty simple

He doesn't want to because he'll test positive. It's very obvious.

Because Pascal is nobody to demand OST from Hopkins. If the governing boards want OST, then they'll get OST. I hope Hopkins beats his ass so bad that his own mother won't recognize him afterwards.

so manny refuses ost means he's on something but bhop refuses means because he can??

Yes, that's the double standard.

Manny has agreed from the beginning to take the tests right after the fight and a week before.

Hopkins is refusing to take this PED test at any time.

Not at all. The difference is Mayweather was demanding it during negotiations for the fight, not after the fight had already been made. If the Pac vs Mayweather fight was already signed and good to go and then Floyd came out and demanded blood tests, Like Jean is now, then I would have Manny's back like I have BHop's. If Pascal demanded the test during negotiations like Floyd actually did then I would have his back like I have Floyd's, because refusing to do them during negotiations is suspicious.

Once a contract is signed and agreed upon by both fighters you can't make demands after the fact.
