I don't understand why everybody(Pacquiao fans) is against the Olympic testing.... Look, in every major sports, they are testing athletes sometimes during the day, or right before the event.
If you fear of being tested the same day of the fight, sorry, but it's a little suspicious. I'm doing track and field, I'm a sprinter, the sport is a lot more corrupted than boxing in term of doping.
But look, this year, we(Canadians people) had a hurdle runner in Priscilla Lopes-Schlopes who qualified for finals in World Athletics Championships, guess what. She was tested 10 minutes before the race! And she still won a silver medal.

I acknowledged that this was extreme BUT, I think that if you want a clean sport, you have to be willing to sacrifice 5 minutes or maybe 30 minutes maximum of your time to do some testing and helping the sport becoming cleaner.
One of my friends is running 200m and she's doing international competitions. When you're that good, you agree to being tested anytime. One day, she was sleeping, two guys came at 8 AM, and entered her home and they were waiting for her for testing. She has to give informations of where she is and where she'll go on a weekly basis.
Also, it won't necessairly be during fight night, it might be 14 days before fight night.
Anyways, just my 2 cents
