'A modern day athlete can't avoid a drug test without looking like a cheat'

[pac oww]

Do you agree with that statement? Yes? No?

Do you agree with that statement? Yes? No?

This is the era that we live in. Even if you are clean...by not taking a drug test the public basically convicts you then. I won't convict him without proof but others in the court of public opinion have already made their minds up.

[Liar]

Imagine Usian Bolt saying before 100m final in the Olympics that he doesn’t want to be tested, because he is scared of needles

Do you agree with that statement? Yes? No?

That's just the way it is. One accusation, with or without merit, can ruin your career.

[UnDeniable]

I think its made worse by the fact that his opponent has nothing to hide and is willing to be tested while Manny is refusing because of needles, superstition ( I'm sure theres more excuses )

It raises suspicion for sure

Nobody listened to the Accusation

UNTIL

Manny rejected the test

He had a chance to make $40 mil and be a part of a huge event but he blew it for a tiny dose of blood which will supposedly weaken him ( Despite his opponent taking the same test, )

It raises suspicion for sure

But on the flip side (to be fair) he can still take the test to silence his critics with or without erasing element of doubt in the court of public appeal. Personally I’m giving Manny the benefit of the doubt because nothing has been proven otherwise.

Peace.

Too late late with the news. Pac said it himself he agreed to all the blood test except on the day of the fight. Thats reasonable enough

MANILA, Philippines – Seven-time world champion Manny Pacquiao has merely laughed off the drug testing issue being raised by Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s saying that the former pound-for-pound king is just trying to excuse himself from the fight.

“Marami lang siyang dahilan, marami siyang dinedemand. Siguro wala pa ‘yong fight, takot na,” said Pacquiao.

The Filipino champion, who recently won the World Boxing Organization welterweight title from Puerto Rico’s Miguel Cotto, said Mayweather maybe getting nervous with the idea of trading punches with him.

Thus, American boxer came out with a statement demanding an Olympic-type of dope testing.

“Sa akin walang problema kung gusto niyang lumaban. Fight kaming dalawa... pero kung medyo natakot siya -- palakasin muna niya loob niya,” said Pacquiao.

Pacquiao made it clear he has no qualm in undergoing tests. What he’s opposed against is having him to give blood so near the March 13 fight date.

“Require natin lahat pati blood test... pero ‘wag naman doon sa day of the fight, manghihina ka naman noon,” he said.
The Filipino boxing star added that the Mayweather camp may also be using the issue to just to distract him.

“Gumagawa lang siya ng paraan, strategy niya para magalit ako... para ma-distract ako sa concentration sa fight,” said the reigning pound-for-pound king.

Floyd is willing up until the fight, why isn't Pacquiao

[pac oww]

it's not right how pac is being treated by the media.
