Boxing Historians Do You Think Manny Pacquiao Has Ever Take Steroids Or Performing E.

Enchancing Drugs?

Do You?

I think without proof it is a bit harsh to speculate and blacken a man's name to be honest.

Who knows?... As historians, all we have is speculation.. Pac is in the middle of his prime, so we'll just have to wait and see if history judges him as a cheat..

I wouldn't call myself an historian, but I consider myself fairly knowledgeable. With that said, yes, I do. I'd always had my su****ions, because lets be honest, if something is too good to be true it usually is. I've been burned far too many times to continue taking athletes words on whether or not they're clean. The use of PED's has plagued modern sports, and sadly, anyone who achieves spectacular levels of performance will be in question. Albert Pujols, Usain Bolt, Michael Phelps, LeBron James, etc. At one point, the sincerity of their skill has been questioned. The difference between the above and Manny Pacquiao is that Manny has run from being tested, while the above mentioned haven't. I truly began believing Manny was using PED's when he turned down $25 million in fear of being subject to randomized drug testing. While that alone is reason enough to be su****ious, the shoddy actions from his camp are what cemented his drug use in my mind. For example, Arizas claims that Manny doesn't know what he(Ariza) gives him. Manny's claims of fearing needles when he's covered in tattoos. Manny's claims of giving blood making him weak, when he's given blood before in physicals before fights(Far more than what's required in a PED blood test), when he's lost blood during fights and continued, and more recently, it being reported that he gave blood the other day and returned to training soon afterwards. That's just too much for me to continue on giving Manny the benefit of the doubt.

I simply can't explain things like this.

And just to add on; I think randomized blood testing should be mandatory in all major sports. Not just boxing.

Considering that he weighs about 3 pounds more in the ring that he did at 130 2 years ago and has never tested positive in 55 pro fights, even with random testing like in the first Morales fight, I'd say no.

The guy just seems to have more power and vigor not having to drain himself 15-17 pounds to make weight.

Thats my take on it as well. If he's taking any illegal supplements it's certainly not for building muscle.

[CarlosG815]

Anybody that refuses to take a blood test is questionable to me.

Either he's got something to hide or he just really didn't want to fight Mayweather.

[nelsoncm]

Pacman is on undoubtedly on roids... because Mayweather Sr. said so.

I guess 50,000 people believing in a foolish thing makes it right, especially when it comes from the elder of a ***********al family.

[Sugarj]

I personally dont think he has taken PEDs. But I do blame him for the Mayweather fight falling through.............he should have accepted the testing.

[wmute]

Pac, his camp and promoter certainly behave as if they had something to hide.
