I really hope the Pacquiao-Barrios fight doesn’t happen.

i wouldnt quite say totally defeat the point of it, it would give pac a window of 10 days to take 'something' that wouldnt show up in urine and would be out of his blood for the post fight blood test as well, this substance also would not be able to be taken throughout the entire run up to the fight as full tests were on, im not an expert in the area but that sounds quite limiting to me anyway

It quite literally defeats the entire point of doing the testing procedure. If there’s a cut off date, there is no point doing the procedure at all because you can time your cycle around the specified cut off date.

It’s as good as useless with a cut off date.

im a bit confused

time his cycle? would the cycle not have to be ongoing in the months running up to the fight where full testing is in operation? if he was taking something he would surely be caught

[famicommander]

Yes you are. You can’t honestly think that that isn’t abundantly clear?

You’ve just asserted what the reason was, you don’t know what the reason was and there could be a plethora of them. It’s not an admission of guilt. I’m not even sure you know what that is.

If Pacquauo is a drug cheat like you are claiming he is, what drug is it?

Again, you can act incredulous all you want. But you know exactly why he ducked the drug testing. Period.

Well firstly no he wouldn’t be surely caught. It’s not difficult to beat a random drug testing protcol without a cut off date, let alone with one.

With one? There’s no point. The chances of beating it are so astronomically likely there is no point in doing it.

As for timing. Months? No, probably not months. Depends on the athlete. The point is they know the date of the cut off for all testing. Meaning they can time it around that with their masking procedures and whatever else the team has in place (if they were to be using PEDs)

You can keep repeating it, it won’t make it true.

NOBODY knows the reason why he didn’t do the drug testing procedure. There could be a million and one reasons why. Is it suspect? Yes I would personally say it is. But you can’t just assert that that equates to him being a PED user because it objectively does not. It doesn’t matter how many times you repeat it, it won’t magically make it true.

I’ll ask you again since you’ve avoided the question 3 times now. If you are claiming Manny Pacquaio is a “drug cheat”……WHAT DRUG?
