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

[BadBrains]

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.

amen to that.

Bob Arum is truly a disgusting individual, you would think he would show a little more respect for the men who step in the ring. Michael Vick treats dogs like this he goes to jail, Bob Arum treats people like this, he goes to the hall of fame. Erik Morales was one of the true greats, without him where would Manny Pacquiao be. Erik was loyal til the end even when it was painfully obvious Arum was cashing out on him. Morales/Pacquiao1 was the 2nd best fight of the last decade, Eriks last stand in the 12th round capped an incredible boxing performance(and career). For anyone to claim it was the gloves,M&M's hotel room , or blood tests that lost Manny the fight is sickening. If Pacquiao was tested the first fight it would have been at Top Ranks request, if thats why he lost it was a great strategy, if Arum thought there was reason to blood test Pacquiao for bringing his power to 126, how is it ridiculous for mayweathers team to question Manny the welterweight wrecking machine. I truly hope Manny agrees to some level of testing that completely clears him of any allegations, and then he goes out and puts Floyd Mayweather to sleep(although thats not going to happen). What happened to Bob removing himself from negotiations.

Top Rank promoter Bob Arum has blasted the US Anti Doping Agency for demanding that pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao undergo a total of seven random blood tests and twelve urine tests prior to the planned fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr in Las Vegas on March 13. [Click Here To Read More]

LMAO@ Arum using the...."he is spooked of needles" reason as to why they cant take the tests...lol

so wait.....is he ONLY afraid of needles under 30 days before the fight or over 30 days before the fight?

I agree with Arum. This whole thing is ****ing ridiculous. It's like a circus, and Mayweather is the clown.

hahaha...the fight will happen, it's all media attention. I was pissed earlier though

Yeah, USADA are not used to deal with professional athletes... They are some me too company trying to make a name for them. The old man is, well, old. He doesn’t realize how damaging are his incoherent comments for the credibility of his man and of the sport itself.
And about the laughable seven spoons of blood: normal people give them all once for analysis, then they go home and eat and the next day – at worst – are as good as new. The sensitive pearl of Arum’s crown will have to give them in a month spam! Mayweather is a tough hombre, he can do it, but Pac will pass off...

I mean real talk here to Bob... I don't like him as everybody here knows... but how can somebody be so narrow minded... I mean yes, he found a doctor that told him that urine analysis is sufficient... and it is for special kind of drugs etc... but I could also easily find a doc that tells him how urine analysis are worth ****...

Now, he wants Pacquiao get tested by agencies that he knows how they operate and he only wants 3 dates that are known by him... I mean ain't he understands how ****** this make Pacquiao look (I'm still a believer that he is not guilty)... I mean I say it again... if you are an cop and you go to a guy that is a supposed dealer and you say to him listen, we will observate you on the 13th and search your house on the 15th... dou you think you will find something?

I can see that he ain't wants to break Pacquiao's training... that's all good... but I think that a deal could be made where you say you can pick the day but it always have to be at a certain daytime... and no blood taking 3 days before the fight... but I ain't hearing something like that... both are not olympians so my believe is that you could get a deal with the agency with a little different rules then normaly... if you want to you can also include that it can't happen that a guy gets randomly tested 2 days a row or something...

Instead he wants an different agency where he knows what happening... it makes Pacquiao look bad... I'm still saying that I don't believe it... because the power thing gets blown out of porportion if you ask me... but it def. makes him look bad... and if now others like Marquez would demand it too... well, Foreman wouldn't I guess? Ain't he with TopRank *lol*

And you can beat you butt on it that now Mayweather feels he is right and if he should want to fight Mosley... he will demand the same thing from Mosley... let's hope Mosley does it because that would also clear to cloud hanging above him
