Quote from a Bernie Maddoff,
Think back over the past decade or so. how many "phenoms" have there been? Look at all the precedent-breaking performances.
McGwire-Sosa home run chase
Bonds performances
Marion jones dusting the field
Lance Armstrong
The other guy who won the Tour de France
ARod's batting achievemnts
New England patriots defense
Shawne Merriman's awesome defense
Roger Clemens pitching domination
Etc, Etc, Etc. We can go on and on.
In fact, try to name the "next level" performance improvements that were clean.
I am NOT saying Pac is dirty. But I can understand why the issue is raised.Comment

Innocent until proven guilty. The answer: MAYBE should have been on there. That's what I would have picked. He looked like he outweighed Cotto on fight night and that was a little su****ious for an original 106 lb'r, that's all I'm saying.Last edited by Chase8400; 11-21-2009, 08:15 PM.Comment

In an overseas telephone conversation with Boxingscene.com, Insidesports.ph, Standard Today and Viva Sports, Manny Pacquiao’s media advisor Mike Koncz said training was progressing remarkably well despite persistent reports of in-camp fighting.
“Everything is going exactly to plan” Koncz declared, suggesting that rumors to the contrary were a “ruse perpetrated by the betting industry”.
Conditioning coach Alex Ariza has allowed a rare glimpse into Pacquiao’s eating regime. “Manny loves bananas” he said, pointing out that he had eaten one for breakfast that very morning.
Another source told us that Manny’s fondness for bananas was beginning to frustrate trainer Freddie Roach. It was rumored that Manny frequently had to rush to the bathroom mid sparring on more than one occasion. “They just go straight through him” Roach was heard to mutter.
Pacquiao’s chief sparring partner Jose Luis Castillo was reluctant to comment although he did hint that bananas were Manny’s “secret weapon” when trying to make weight.
It can also be revealed that Pacquiao’s camp has enlisted the help of former athletics coach Trevor Graham for “secret strength and speed coaching”.
“It’s not the first time we have used him” Ariza said, suggesting that Graham was actually the mastermind behind Manny’s freakish success over the past few years.
“He wouldn’t be here without Big Trev, that’s for sure” Roach admitted.
Manny has also been running everyday, except during periods of inclement weather.
“He doesn’t like to get his feet wet” laughed sparring partner Shawn Porter, “It’s no wonder he can’t swim”.
Trevor Graham
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Trevor Graham is a Jamaican-born former athletics coach, based in the United States. Following the BALCO scandal, the US Olympic Committee barred him indefinitely from all its training sites as a number of the athletes he was training had tested positive for drug abuse.

Formed in 1993 by Graham and incorporated in 1997, Sprint Capitol USA was based at the Paul Derr Track on the North Carolina State University Main Campus in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Among the athletes who joined and trained with the group were:
* Shawn Crawford
* Justin Gatlin- received an 8 year suspension from USADA in 2006
* Alvin Harrison- received a 4 year suspension from USADA in 2004
* C.J. Hunter- tested positive for Nandrolone after withdrawing from the Olympics in 2000.
* Marion Jones- olympic medals and world records revoked after she admitted accepting performance enhancing drugs from Graham in the BALCO scandal
* Tim Montgomery - 100m World Record revoked after he admitted accepting steroids and other performance enhancing drugs from BALCO[4]
* Antonio Pettigrew- Olympic medals for entire 2000 U.S 4 x 400 metres relay team were returned following admission of use of HGH and EPO under Graham
* Jerome Young- received suspension and disqualifications for using Nandrolone, since overturned
* Marcus Brunson
* Duane Ross
* Randall Evans
* Chandra Sturrup
* Me'Lisa Barber
* LaTasha Jenkins
[edit] BALCO scandal
Graham played a critical role in the BALCO (Bay Area Laboratory Co-operative) scandal of June 2003, anonymously sending a syringe containing the designer steroid Tetrahydrogestrinone (THG) to the United States Anti-Doping Agency. In July 2006, Angel Guillermo Heredia testified before a US Federal Grand Jury that he had worked for Graham from 1996 to 2000, providing illegal performance enhancing drugs. While a number of athletes coached by Trevor Graham have received suspensions for drug use, he has always denied direct knowledge or involvement, and denies having ever met Heredia.[5] After Gatlin failed a test for testosterone, announced in July 2006, Graham stated in an interview that Gatlin had been set up. [6][4]
An unsent letter written by BALCO's Victor Conte to the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency described the use of an oral testosterone by Graham that "will clear the body and be undetectable in urine in less than a week after discontinuing use." At the end of the letter, Gatlin was one of four athletes identified as using the drug.[7]
The International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) said on July 31, 2006 that Graham could face a two-year ban if evidence links him to any doping violations and the United States Anti-Doping Agency decides not to take action.[8]
On August 3, 2006 the United States Olympic Committee banned Trevor Graham from its training facilities[9]. This was the first time a coach has received such a ban based on the excessive number athletes in their charge who have tested positive. As a result of the above events, Nike ended its contract with Graham in August 2006.[10]
On May 29, 2008 Graham was convicted of one count of lying to federal investigators. A mistrial was declared on two other counts as jurors could not reach a unanimous agreement.[11]
The US Anti-Doping Agency chief executive Travis Tygar, on July 15, 2008, confirmed a life ban on Trevor Graham for breaking anti-drugs rules: "It sends a powerful reminder that coaches are not above the rules. There's a misconception that they are because we don't drug-test them, but this shows that we'll use all of our authority. There's no opportunity to seek reinstatement. Any chance that he may have had for that has passed. He's waived that."[12] His ban included participation in any event sanctioned by the U.S. Olympic Committee, the IAAF, USA Track & Field or any other group that participates in the World Anti-Doping Agency programComment
