Manny Pacquiao cries foul over Antonio Margarito's Hydroxycut usage

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Controversy erupted Saturday night before Manny Pacquiao and Antonio Margarito even got in the ring. A weight loss supplement was seen in Margarito's dressing room before the fight, and Pacquiao's team demanded that he be tested before the fight for possible banned substances. Texas officials, though, said the testing would be done after the fight as usual. The weight loss supplement was reportedly Hydroxycut, sold over the counter. Margarito struggled to lose the last few pounds this week to make the 150-pound contract weight for the fight. http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=5804013

and the purpose of random test is to prevent something like this happening. so you two fail. if pac is clean, he will take the test The test demanded by Mayweather State Athletic Commission? If that was demanded by any valid commission, there'd be no questions and Pac would be the greatest a-s-s-h-o-l-e in the history of boxing to decline it. You fail.

I thought they didn't test AT ALL in Texas? At least that's what Flomo's has been saying. Again, if he was about to use a stimulant it wasn't for weight loss, but for energy/endurance during the fight. They don't - that was the WBC's test. And your second paragraph is spot on.

That hydorxy stuff gave margarito added strenghth. No wonder he was able to hurt Pac and he didnt go down from pacs punches. Those extra punches pacs fists had to go through might have a lasting effect with the wear and tear. Its second nature for Margarito to cheat and then think of the consequences later and not before.

fight night proved he was'nt weight drained, haters should grow up Calderon @ 250 would be considered weight drained by the Flomos if he fought Pac. Just leave it.

Except they actually had some evidence for the request and not just baseless conjecture... This.......

That's ironic.....Manny's camp wanting to have anyone tested before a fight is laughable. 7 days before and a day after should be good enough. Right? asking for a test last night is strange. who would perform test? when would results come back? what lab would they use?

Exactly. Well said. what is the evidence? what is the banned substance in hydroxycut. thank you pare
