Ofcourse im no doctor, but common sense tells me that If i can flush it out in 48 hours, Ill use it up until 2 days before the fight regardless of how heavy or light im working in camp.
Common sense tells me that if I were the biggest target of suspicions of being a PED user, I won't be touching any PED within a ten-foot pole at any time while the world closely watches my every move.
you're the fukin moron that does not understand the simple fact that THERE IS NO FUKIN BURDEN OF PROOF ON FLOYD. HE DOESNT HAVE TO PROVE A DAMN THING. The burden of proof is on Pac, as he is the one filing the lawsuit.
There are plenty of "law" sites you could probably find on Google to give you at least a remedial idea of what is required to win a lawsuit dumbass.
The "burden of proof" is indeed on Manny. However, while the burden of proof doesn't shift, the "burden of evidence" generally does in the course of a trial. If Manny is able to establish the facts constituting the elements of actionable defamation as would incite a reasonable man (i.e., the judge) to think he has a valid, winning case, the defendants will have to present evidence to disprove that.
Certainly, though, Manny, being the plaintiff, has the tougher job here. He certainly has got his work cut out for him.
Last year I lost 50 pounds naturally and a co worker accused me of taking drugs, can I sue him for voicing his opinion?he had no evidence. what a joke, cant we have an opinion anymore?
If your co-worker publicly made the false or, at least, baseless, accusation that you took (illegal) drugs, with malicious intent, which caused you dishonor, discredit, or brought contempt from others upon you, and you have evidence to back everything up, you can sue if you want to or feel strongly enough about it.
The line that separates (innocent) opinion from actionable defamation may be thin but it is there.
..All Manny needed to do was say yes and this would not have happeaned, him saying no caused this.
Team Mayweather asked for the test before Manny said no, but that is alright as asking (even under dubious premises) may be considered part of the negotiations. However, saying no is within the other party's right. It is the insinuations ("he refused so he must be guilty") right after that leave a bad taste in the mouth. Schaeffer said that TM would only speak to the press if/when the contract is signed or the negotiations are off. TM released a press release and Schaeffer has given interviews since Manny said no and, yet, Schaeffer denies that the fight is dead to them (and insists that only Arum has said it is). If the negotiations were/are still indeed on (as they seem to be), releasing that damaging press release was clearly done in bad faith.
It does not escape me, though, that Arum seems to have violated the "gag order" in some instances, too.
Once you're labeled a child molester, it sticks with you even if you get acquitted afterwards. Same goes for being a cheater. Pac's rep has clearly been damaged by the accusations and there's no going back even if he passes the random drug tests. Their succeeding argument would be "Nah, he stayed clean on purpose since he didn't want to get caught, that's why." Some people are now bumping threads from 2005 and is implying that he's been on steroids way back then. This will be a never ending taint job from now on.
Boxingscene alone could make Pac's case for damages since this is a boxing forum and is an accepted gauge on how a fighter is perceived in the boxing community. When May Sr. started with the accusations, slowly but surely, people (posters and even other pro boxers alike) started coming out of the woodwork and jumped on the bandwagon and made this issue as big as it is right now. This is not even debatable since at any given time right now, every single thread on the front or even 2nd page in NSB could be about Pac and his alleged drug use. People went from talking about his ATG status to being a lowlife cheater. These threads that I referred to clearly prove that his character has been defamed beyond repair. Manny's rep is toast.
I myself agree that Pac should have just taken the damn test but that still doesn't take away from the fact that from the moment Sr. opened his mouth until now, all this steroid label is hearsay and was at that time his vocal opinion only. If he thought about it, there's nothing wrong with it. Once he said it out loud, that's slander.
Good post. If Manny's lawyer argues like you do, the lawsuit may have a chance.
Where does one find a copy of the complaint online? Kindly share the link. Thanks.
Against Floyd Sr. maybe but still even then a good lawyer should be able to get him off. Besides what does Floyd Sr. even have to take, GBP and Floyd are the ones that could be hurt by a lawsuit it is doubtful that he would be able to get them.
To me it is just a dumb thing to start because the risk is to high and the reward to little, because the damage would already be done and taking it to court would just make this whole thing drag out longer. It is best to just let it go away, which it may not but the less it gets talked about the better it is for Manny.
I agree that if Manny goes through with it, he is taking the huge risk of losing the case and much, much more. On the other hand, he also stands a chance of winning. (The game will shift into a battle between Legal Team Pac and Legal Team May.) As you will probably concede, people who get to the top usually know how to play this risk-reward game and very well, so I don't know whether this is necessarily a dumb move. It could be the dumbest, or the smartest, thing Manny ever does. Time will tell.
If Manny said yes this whole thing would not be happeaning as it is now. He can do whatever he wants but people who fight drug testing in this day and age of athletics, it just does not look good.
He has no case in a real court of law it is really hard for a famous person to win that kind of thing and they did not say anything definitive so any good lawyer would get that thrown out.
It was dumb for him to even bring that up.
As to the defamation suit, Manny has a prima facie case against Mayweather, Sr., at least. I agree that a good lawyer can get it thrown out, though. The burden of proof to establish the elements of actionable defamation will be on Manny and that is not going to be easy (and will definitely be costly and ugly, as most litigation is). However, a good lawyer can also pull it off.
If Manny said yes this whole thing would not be happeaning as it is now. He can do whatever he wants but people who fight drug testing in this day and age of athletics, it just does not look good.
I agree it does not look good, which is unfortunate, because appearances can deceive. As it is, Manny appears to have a better shot at winning his case in a court of law than he does acquitting himself in the court of public opinion.
