PACQUIAO-MAYWEATHER RANDOM BLOOD TESTING ISSUE
WADA: http://www.wada-ama.org/en/Science-Medicine/Science-topics/Blood-Doping-QA/
This report, requested by WADA’s stakeholders and commissioned by the Agency to evaluate the validity of urine and blood tests for detecting the presence of recombinant EPO, concluded that urine testing is the only scientifically validated method for direct detection of recombinant EPO.

1) EPO is a naturally occurring substance in the body. Could an athlete who lives at altitude or has great genetics and thus might have more EPO in their body naturally than a normal person, test positive for EPO?
No. Currently, to be convicted of an EPO offense athletes must test positive for EPO with the urine EPO test. The urine EPO test is not an indirect test that detects unusually high EPO levels. Rather, it is a direct test that detects the actual presence of recombinant EPO (EPO from a source outside the body).
2) I've heard a lot about using both a blood and urine test to detect EPO use. Doesn't an athlete have to test positive for EPO on both the blood and urine test to be considered a doper?
No. There is a blood test for EPO use, but it is only an indirect test that can be used as a screening measure to save money by determining whether the urine EPO test needs to be conducted. All the blood test does is tell the testers that the athlete has an unusual blood profile that warrants further investigation. The abnormal profile could be caused by the use of EPO, some other blood boosting drug, or just be explained by the athlete being a genetic freak or living at altitude. The testers then perform the urine EPO test to determine whether artificial EPO is the cause of the abnormality. The blood test does not have to be done in order for the athlete to test positive for EPO.
Now, which side you're on? Do you still believe the allegations and opinions of of a convicted drug dealer? Or you believe this conclusion from a credible researchers?
Mayweather fans dodge this one and answer "why not take the random blood test?". :rofl: :wtf1:
there are no test to detect what pacquiao has, thats why the blood test is being refused by him, he'll get caught that way... its facts... go cry somewhere else
pacquiao do not need to be tested because whats inside him and make him a great fighter is his blood itself and by extracting some from his system makes him incomplete and weak thats what floyd wanted, to weaken pac in their fight so hell have additional edge aside from size, height and reach. thats the fact
2003? You serious?
Did Dr. Catlin change this statement recently? If so, please inform me because I got no information where he reverse it.
And what about this: http://www.usatoday.com/sports/2008-07-22-hgh-urine-test_N.htm ? Oh yeah, this was on 2008 and it's 2010 now :D

Why are you picking threads? There are threads here who seemed to be avoided by some Floyd fans most especially the Pacman haters. There is already a video (pacquiao interviewed by dong puno in 2005) here that made Pacquiao hesitant in testing so close to the fight.
Stop with that loop excuse no test=steroid user. It's getting boring already.
Because of this:
If facts are presented from credible sources, only few cares. But if it's coming from the mouth of a convicted drug dealer, almost everybody cares.
:rofl:

That's the best he can do to make him feel better after pacquiao destroyed all of his beloved favorite boxer. :rofl:

It is shit like this that make me wonder, do pactards even care if manny is on steroids. They keep saying shit like blood test are irrelevant. kind of strange if you ask me.
You think you're better than Catlin?

mosley is laughing at that article right about now
GL: You weren't in charge when the De La Hoya-Mosley rematch took place, but we all know what happened with Shane following that fight. Have the standards of the commission been upgraded since then?
KK: "Well I don't think that's the correct terminology. My understanding on the clear and the cream back then, not being an expert myself, but talking to experts was, that was invented by Balco to evade the drug testing that was being done on the time. Now they have a test for the clear and the cream, and the use of it has gone way down with the experts because now you can get caught. Now you have Marion Jones getting away with that at the Olympics, but we were able to catch Fernando Vargas and Ben Johnson. I think the standards have always been the highest level of testing. However, there are people out there who have temporarily found ways to evade the drug testing. That's what these experts get paid for, to close that gap and that time between the development of a new drug and a efficient test for it.
just sayin
