Comments Thread For: Bradley Fight Would Require Olympic Testing on Pacquiao

[DocG]

Don't try and make Mayweather the scapegoat. Pacquaio and his camp brought this on themselves. All he had to do was agree to take the tests and if he's got nothing to hide the tests will bear that out. Respect to Timothy Bradley and his camp.

MayRunner just has so many excuses.......

Pacman agreed to take the test..........but not on GayRunners terms!!!

I'll give you two reasons why.........


1. Having blood drawn a day or few days before a fight may cause hematoma on the extraction site (antecubital fossa)....even if it was done by an experienced phlebotomist........just imagine being frequently extracted for blood even if its only 15cc before a fight and having a hematoma on your arm as a result of it.......definitely it would affect any professional boxers performance in a fight

2. Performance enhancing drugs cannot be easily washed out of the system.......it could even be detected thru blood, urine, or hair sample..........having blood drawn 1 month before and few minutes after a fight and urine sample anytime(Pacman's preference) would detect any drugs taken........the result just makes no difference if it's taken within 1 month prior to a fight unless one's intention is to disrupt his opponent training which is pure harassment......

It wouldn't be on Floyd's terms, it'd be on USADA's terms.

Too bad your argument is null and void when you consider USADA used and continues to use the same testing protocol on thousands of other athletes.

Funny how Lance Armstrong and Kobe Bryant and Lebron James and xxxxx other athletes aren't coming to Manny Pacquiao's defense on this issue.

It's just old man Bob Arum and the Pac Camp that are making themselves look sillier and ******er every minute.

Professional boxing is not under USADA.....and so is professional ( Kobe & Lebron)basketball and other professional organizations (football, baseballl, etc.)

USADA caters to olympic athletes (majority are amateurs) ....Cycling (lance Armstrong) adopts USADA protocols

Again, your point was wrong, it wouldn't be under Mayweather's terms, it'd be under USADA's terms, a neutral organization that administers the same tests to thousands of other top-tier athletes.

And USADA's testing protocols are more stringent than those of professional boxing.

Yet...Manny Pacquiao is willing to walk away from a potentially historic $40 million dollar payday because he refuses to participate in such a randomized testing schedule.

You don't have to be a genius to realize that makes him look su****ious as hell. The media is already brutalizing his stance on this as it is. The longer TR and Arum and the Pac camp refuse, the worst the beating his public image takes. People are already concluding that the guy has something to hide.

I refuse to accept that Floyd Mayweather Jr. is setting up a new standard of testing boxers, now we should have Olympic standard tests? If Manny P. never failed a test before, why should a new set of rules apply now?

[Sorbetero]

lol. as if pac needs timothy badly

[Dondi33O]

I hope more names come out and push for stricter testings.

[BadBrains]

I heard pacquiao agreed to the test, but only if theres a $10 million dollar penalty to anyone that test positive and mayweather declined.

.........but no offence ..... it ain't acceptable to me...

There is a difference between professional and amateur athletes........let's treat the professional athletes as a "professional" the way they rightfully deserved!

Professional boxing is under a commission in which the the fight will be held.....such as in Nevada......it is they that dictates the terms prior to a fight......

Using USADA ..........it's Mayweathers idea....therefore it's MayRunners terms prior to the fight being held....

Pacman doesn't even need the $40M......he's a billionaire in the Philippines...
It's Mayweather who needs the money.......If Pacman is not his next opponent then it definitely would be the IRS!!!

Pacman agreed to be tested even by the USADA but not "within 1 month" into the fight.......Performance enhancing drugs cannot be easily washed out of the system.......it could even be detected thru blood, urine, or hair sample..........having blood drawn 1 month before and few minutes after a fight and urine sample anytime(Pacman's preference) would detect any drugs taken........the result just makes no difference if it's taken within 1 month prior to a fight unless one's intention is to disrupt his opponent training which is pure harassment......

Pac agreed to Olympic style testing, hell he'd probably get blood taking the day before the fight if he's facing an inferior fighter like Bradley.
