Comments Thread For: Bob Arum Blasts The US Anti Doping Agency

I'm a pac fan and all but something's fishy... on the article Arum states "pacquiao lost the first morales fight because they took the blood the week of the fight."

I thought pac lost cuz of the Winning gloves and not Cleto Reyes..

Sounds like arum and team PAC got something to hide.

Now it's his phobia for needles which is a lame excuse. Arum's words are making PAC look bad.

That too.
Morales and Arum also made Pac took a blood test after the weigh in.
Pac complained right away that he felt weakened by it.

Random blood tests are bull****. There have been many cases where an athlete has been "randomly tested" 6 days in a row. You can only have blood drawn so many times a certain period of time before it starts to effect your performance.

Anyone with a basic understanding of human physiology understands this.

Manny not protesting the blood tests, he is protesting the possibility that his 7 random tests may fall on the last 3 days before the fight.

I think the best way to settle this would be to come to a compromise. Allow the USADA to perform the blood tests at a random time with a one week window before or after the proposed days that Top Rank wants. That way it will deter any timing that Team Pacquiao may have planned with specific days for tests. You'll have 3 tests taken somewhat randomly this way. And Arum is not a blood expert, nor am I, but I do have some knowledge and know that HgH cannot be found by a urinalysis, thus is the reason blood tests are taken as opposed to just a urinalysis to athlete being tested for that specifically.

blood tests are more accurate in detecting HGH. that's the sh#t that made manny hit cotto harder than judah clottey mosley and randall bailey. bob arum is full of sh#t.

Manny is not walking the walk. If he allows this to stop the fight, he's on something. No doubt.

[cybertiledude]

Either that or Ms PAcman is really sensitive to the site of blood. its sooo icky!!

[King Koko]

7 blood tests? wtf? i think mayweather really needs this because he cant make the weight.

He came in at 146 for the Marquez fight. Why would he have trouble making 147?
