Mayweather-Pacquiao in Jeopardy Over Drug Test - Merged Thread:

[THE REED]

thanks.......the mayweathers started this rumor and id understand if the pac camp would never babysit this kind of ****.....

The Pac team had no problem charging the Mayweather team for 10 million every pound over the limit. Nobody else has to do that.. Floyd agreed.

I read "Game of Shadows" ... it's great at describing how athletes cheat tests. I'm not accusing, I just think there is nothing wrong with drug tests and anyone that's wary of them seems guilty to me. I'll take a drug test tomorrow for a job if I want it. I'm not worried about anything at all nor do I have reason to be. Again... I'm a HUGE Manny fan. I'm disappointed that he's refusing this and hoping it's just a promotional ploy.

i agree totally....and have been saying this forever....that "mental" effect excuse is pretty much not going to cut it. if you've done nothing wrong, you have nothing to worry about.....kinda like when kids go missing, and you find out the parents have declined to take lie-detectors.....what would you think?

[Boxing's Truth]

Lets be real here. Would any of you **** a girl that absolutely refuses to be tested beforehand? How about if you offer her 30 million dollars to take the test and she refuses... would you **** her then? A stern refusal is... ready for it? FISHY.

Ooooooooooo, that was a good one.

When Mayweather Sr. accused Manny of steroids Manny confidently tried to get his lawyers to sue him. If he was so confident with that then why won't he take the blood test? I'm not accusing him of anything here all I'm saying is take the blood test and give us fans a great fight.

This situation doesn't pass the smell test. Cotto bent over backwards to accomodate Pacquaio. Now he is threatening to pull out of a major fight over this. I dont buy the superstition bull**** and there is certainly no danger to his health. If Pacquaio is trying to throw his weight around, he is wasting his time because he can't bully Mayweather the way he did Cotto and Hatton.

In spite of the fact that Pac worshippers on this site are defending Pac on this and pointing fingers at Mayweather, the reason for refusing the test is su****ious. If this were Mayweather doing something like this, the haters would be all over him.

If this

Correct me if i'm wrong "Olympic style drug testing" is year-round urine testing?

Olympic sports are subject to year-round, no-notice testing. Athletes call it "knock and pee." Testers arrive at a residence with their kits, and athletes have to provide a urine sample immediately.

I think this is what Roach is complaining about, the mayweathers are asking for a special type of drug testing they made up themselves not "Olympic style" their claiming

[-EX-]

Floyd's camp REALLY think Pac is on something


I think Roach just trains him and they do a good job of exploiting there opponents flaws...DLH was washed up, Hatton can't hang wit Manny, and Pac is just better than Cotto...

I really hope superstition isn't the excuse being touted on here.

this fight isn't going to happen because manny's.......superstitious!




but floyd's the coward right?

Here's the actual drug testing from USADA. Doesn't say anything about a random multiple blood test.

As of January 1, 2009, please be aware of the following changes not currently reflected in the video links on the following pages.

1. Athletes will need to provide at least 90mLs of urine.
2. Prior to providing the sample, the athlete must rinse his/her hands with water only.
3. After the sample has been collected, urine will first be poured into the B bottle and the remaining urine will be poured into the A bottle.
4. pH will no longer be measured.
5. Athletes will be required to provide whereabouts information and updates on a Whereabouts Filing rather than providing information on an Athlete Location Form.
6. Athletes will be asked to declare blood transfusions within the last six (6) months, medications and/or other substances taken in the last three (3) days (including vitamins, minerals, herbs, proteins, amino acids and other dietary supplements); Local injection(s) of glucocorticosteroids in the last two (2) months; Use of inhaler(s) in last three (3) days; and/or current The****utic Use Exemption(s).

No, Pacquiao doesn't want to take any drug tests after the very first press conference. That is what was reported to Schaeffer. That includes, the "within 30 day" stipulation.
