Comments Thread For: Top Rank's Statement on Pacquiao-Mayweather Situation

[talz]

Only one way to fix this problem is that you let BOTH boxers use STEROIDS. This means both fighters would be even better so, we can look forward to a higher standard of boxing for the fans!

Co-sign!!!

The testing method via urine analysis is sufficient, that isn't coming for some sideline reporter or fan, it's coming from a medical practitioner with experience in the field of steroid detection. That should be sufficient enough for everyone involved including Senor crackhead himself Floyd Sr.

Co-sign!!!

Unless the Floyd Mayweather camp has some motives especially Floyd himself; 1. To avoid Pacquiao because of Pacquiao phobia, 2. He has that fear factor of losing, realized that his end his near, 3. He doesn't want to go to retirement humiliated by way of a brutal knock out in the hands of Pacquiao, 4. He wants to continue his streak of ducking legitimate opponents...

When was the last time the fighters, media and public were covering and talking drug testing to such an extent, about a POTENTIAL boxing fight?

The levels it's gone too in such a short time I think says it all.

This is all getting ridiculous.

Mayweathers wildly exaggerating the need for it in the first place, in any case Manny's side inc; Top Rank are willing to go along with more than usual drug testing, but just not to this ridiculous degree.

That's largely because the blood tests and so close as 3 days before the fight, do no better than urine tests everyday before the fight like team Manny are willing to do.

Those type of drug testers Arum talked about there are the ones who let things go without notice for a very long time hence (A-Rod). How long until they actually brought out that A-Rod was using steroids? Years is it the word?? So in that case its better off for a Special Unit to do the testing instead of others who will cover up especially for a little something on the side. I am sure money is already on the table with all these people that Arum is trying to get involved for the testing.

And why would it be crazy to have random testings? UNLESS you are hiding something you wouldnt mind, maybe would be UPSET yes because of all the accusations, but you will want to prove them wrong, so why trying to back the Pro fighter and why dont he back himself up? He has a mouth, let him speak and hopefully he will agree with the USADA Drug Testing.

My thing is this...urine tests yes. But what most people dont understand is "Blood Doping"..Undectable in urine tests. My own boxing trainer had told me about this about a month ago when talking about pacquiao. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

Blood doping is the practice of boosting the number of red blood cells (RBCs) in the bloodstream in order to enhance athletic performance. Because they carry oxygen from the lungs to the muscles, more RBCs in the blood can improve an athlete’s aerobic capacity (VO2 max) and endurance.

Top Rank aka Arum should have just informed us this is just extra promotion...the fight will happen.

[Larrysbird]

Time is running out, this whole Olympic testing drama has been the culprit why the fight won't happen. Maybe less than 2 weeks for them to get a credible testing party.

All you ppl defending Manny are idiots. Bob isnt agreeing to unusual testing, once 30 days before the fight and once after the fight is regulation and agreeing to random piss tests means nothing when testing for hGH, blood doping or some other hormonal drugs that can only be detected in blood. You guys are clearly missing the part where this physician says its perfect sufficient for detecting STEROIDs and no mention of hGH which you ****ing ******s probably never heard of ne ways. I'll send you ****s the scientific journal that says hGH is unstable and is undetectable after 24 hours and only in blood and ill send you an article from the world anti-doping agency that says there are no tests to detect hGH in the urine. Whats the point in agreeing to scheduled piss tests that Manny knows are coming and are 30 days apart? The fact that he's passed those tests only shows that he isnt on steroids it doesnt mean he isnt doping and these tests will clear it up so how can ne one be against that?

It wont affect his preformance because the amount they take isnt even noticeable and Floyd will go through the same ****, he's obviously not afraid of needles considering how many tattoos he has and the fact that one of them is a tattoo he gave himself with a ****ing sewing needle and ink. Manny is a ****ing juice monkey and him and his tiny nuts and huge are head just realized how ****ed they are if they fight Floyd without their drugs.

The timing aspect causes concern. Why have such time parameters? One must ask if it is because these are times when a substance is undetectable. That is he takes nothing until 30 days before and it burns out (fat-soluble) so is undetectable after the fight???

Well said. I totally agree. No where to run Manny.The way to shake this is to comply with all the random testing but like Arum the snake said it aint gonna happen.
