The sad thing is that Marquez was actually willing to take any drug tests that they wanted him to. Pacquiao has never once been that forthcoming about doing the same.
Yet is it Marquez that they are all suspicious of. While Pacquiao gets a pass.

In this video, Lampley wasn't condoning PEDs but was merely stating a fact: That the PED problem is a systemic problem NOT an individual one.
PEDs are fueled by athletes' desires to achieve the best just like how non-athletes take a variety of medication to improve their performance. They are enabled by a massive supply chain worth hundreds of millions that involve executives, managers, trainers etc.
Focusing on an individual athlete is largely pointless.
Are you really trying to flip this interview??i know what i heard and everyone else here does to,he was condoning it..now all the sudden "WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT PED'S" why did he never speak like this when Floyd brought it to the spot light??instead he tried to condone it
You guys only like to read/listen to the parts that support your objective!
Lampley said, its not that he is condoning PEDs just don't be naive about the fact that its out there. . He is just stating the facts that PEDS are out there and its hard to stop people from using it because they are always one step ahead of the game.
I'm not surprised by hbo's biased, what's really telling is how quickly they could switch their position. Suddenly a fighter coming in his most comfortable his third fight at his highest weightclass and doing his best against an opponent he's given serious problems three times before is suspicious, and the lack of testing is telling of a problem in boxing and sports in general. Yet not once did they raise any doubt when another fighter was blowing through weightclasses and opponents with ease, and actively refusing any additional testing.
Fact is, As much as one would like to question JMM's win, JMM has always been willing to prove he's clean.
Jim lampley said ped's were no big deal at first

just re watched the pac man bradley fight and then watched those videos a few people did exposing the bias, that was the worst thing ive seen in a long time they had me fooled into thinking pac man destroyed bradley, id say pac man won the fight but by one round or even a draw... smh at lampley saying bradley had no head movement in that fight.... just sad
I despise Lampley. Have nothing but complete disdain for him. Perfect media lackey though. No matter how much of a cunt he seems like, how contrary his statements can be and how much bias he shows, he will follow the money and will say and do exactly what you tell him to.
Piece of ****. It's great watching it. It's just as funny watching people that for years have backed up Pac, Arum, Roach etc not wanting stricter testing, and everyone around now doing a complete backflip, bringing up every bull**** excuse in the book and looking like absolute ****ing morons.
There's something incredibly arrogant about Lampley though. Woman beater, ****** glasses wearing pansy and a bias HBO tool.
He is right, HBO commentators are biased.
They are butthurt since Pac got knocked out, and instead of giving Marquez credit for beating him, they indirectly accused Marquez of using steroids by talking about better drugtesting methods right after the fight. When Floyd was asking for OSDT, they claimed he is afraid of their hero.
And even if Marquez was on PEDs, what makes u think Pacquiao was not?
Isn't Pacquiao the one boycotting OSDT since the first negotiations with Mayweather?
Boxing is full of hypocrites and mindless fanboys, it is amazing how ignorant some boxing fans are..
What do you expect from morons? This same idiots are now trying to stain JMM name just because he KO Pac, now they want to advocate for better drug testing... When the whole world was talking about they were calling people names, I can't wait for Pacquiao to be gone from boxing, then all the moronic fans and media alike would be gone, it has already started now with them doing a 180 and wanting testing.

Basically around the time Floyd started demanding blood testing. They had to prop up Manny some how. HBO had an agenda back then to cash out on Manny same as Arum. I just wished back then Floyd would of taking his talents to Showtime. That wouldve pissed them off.
