    An impasse over drug testing to be used in the Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather welterweight title bout can be overcome if Mayweather agrees to allow agencies that oversee testing in the NBA, NFL and MLB to handle the testing.


    Then what's wrong with the tests being done by any given independent agency used by the NBA or NFL???? Pacquaio and Arum said he would do any testing necessary just not from the USADA. For all we know the dispute could be as simple as team pacquiao believing Golden Boy and the mayweathers have a guy planted within the USADA and wants a different agency to do the testing.

In his own book Armstrong talks about a point where he was subjected to testing at 4am 7days in a row and how it affected his performance. It just never affected his overall point standings too much because how well your teaamates finish benefits your individual point standings in the tour defrance as well.
      That was the French cycling agencies, I believe.

        Because everybody reacts to all tests the same way?

            and quit calling it olympic style testing.

            olympians don't get tested 20 times in 2 months.
            And you would know this because...?

              Virtually any athlete who is extremely confident of the negative results of the drug test would say: "You can test me anytime anywhere to prove I'm clean and have always been clean."

                  Is it possible he's not confident of beating Mayweather and wants to be at his best?

                    Mate, I don't agree with all these ridiculous tests but if Pac is squeaky clean like they say he is, just take the ****ing test. Just make the fight already.

                      That's entirely possible too. But he's not getting any help from Arum's nor Ariza's recent statements.
