In his blog at Ring.tv, De La Hoya said Pacquiao avoiding the blood tests puts doubts on his career.
"If Pacquiao doesn’t want to do this and risk a possible $40 million payday because he’s afraid of needles or believes he’ll be weakened by blood tests, then that raises question marks," De La Hoya wrote. "The guy has tattoos everywhere; he’s tattooed from top to bottom. You’re telling me he’s afraid of needles?"
Now I have to wonder about him," De La Hoya wrote. "I’m saying to myself, 'Wow. Those Mosley punches, those Vargas punches and those Pacquiao punches all felt the same.' I’m not saying yes or no (about whether Pacquiao might be taking performance-enhancing drugs); I’m just saying that now people have to wonder: Why doesn’t he want to do this? Why is it such a big deal.
"A lot of eyebrows have been raised. This is not good at all. C’mon. It’s only a little bit of blood. If you have nothing to hide, then do the test."
