Larry Merchant logic is completely flawed

http://www.ironmagazine.com/blog/2011/victor-conte-launching-anti-doping-task-force-vada/ Conte's VADA is a joke.

I see your point, but JMM has never refused a test at anytime. If his opponent's team isn't willing to partake in them then why should that tarnish JMM's victory? Yeah, but not refusing any tests doesn't make you clean. JMM doesn't need Pacquiao to agree to testing. JMM could just test himself like Donaire if he wants to get rid of the cloud of suspicion. If you're going to work with a former PED dealer, subjecting yourself to advanced testing isn't something anyone should ask you to do. It's something you should just do yourself. I'd be suspicious of Donaire if he wasn't testing 24/7.

Roach said he brought it up to Michael Koncz (Pac manager) and Koncz simply said that that Bob Arum wouldn't go for it without talking to Bob. It stopped there before it even got to TR.

Yea but the difference is Donaire is the only boxer taking real testing, JMM isnt I see your point, but JMM has never refused a test at anytime. If his opponent's team isn't willing to partake in them then why should that tarnish JMM's victory?

Larry is flawed period.

Yea but the difference is Donaire is the only boxer taking real testing, JMM isnt Neither is anyone else outside of Donaire, so whats your point?

Actually Roach asked for random blood and urine testing against JMM, and it was JMMs team that refused. Roach did want testing after he saw how Marquez bulked up but Top Rank (or Arum) wasn't interested.

Actually Roach asked for random blood and urine testing against JMM, and it was JMMs team that refused. Roach said "They refused it" Turns out he was talking about Arum. Marquez has been thus far willing to test, and even demanded it as a condition for a fifth fight. No dice

Actually Roach asked for random blood and urine testing against JMM, and it was JMMs team that refused. This false claim has been debunked. Marquez has stated he will take any test.

Yea but the difference is Donaire is the only boxer taking real testing, JMM isnt this. You can always cycle out steroids. If you know what you are doing you won't get caught. If you know the exact dates of the tests don't you think you can know not to take the steroids.

he's crap Merchant. by the time he's got his sentences out, the action he's commentating on has passed. Much prefer Jim Watt

Seems like Merchant went out with little class. I've yet to see the HBO broadcast though.

Yea but the difference is Donaire is the only boxer taking real testing, JMM isnt word :boxing:
