Wouldn't you have an issue with your opponent deciding who tests you ?

    USADA is running the tests, they're a neutral organization and they handle thousands of standardized random testing for a multitude of athletes, with hardly a complaint.

    Yet, this isn't good enough for you?

    Please tell me how USADA is somehow a bad thing.

    who's paying for these tests?

      What is it that people ain't seeing. This whole issue stems from a frivolous accusation by a former convicted felon !!

      To add to that, they want to choose which org is gonna do the testing.

          Half the people on this board are scrounging up as much tid bit information as they can to try and save their little Pacquiao from the big bad needle. Fact of the matter is, all of this could have been avoided had he accepted the contractual aggreement, but instead lets his pride and his reputation ride out the situation, and just completely ****ed himself.

          If Mayweather was in Pacquiaos seat and refused, every ******* and their mother would ride him and accuse him of steroids like no other.

          If Mayweather Sr. wasn't a crackhead, none of you dumb ******* idiots would have anything to base your argument against.

          People ***** about this never happening in boxing but we're in a day and age where things need to be changed. Why? Because we're approaching 2010 and pharmaceutical drugs run rampant like no other. Pacquiao could be on steroids/HGH's or he isn't. If he would take the tests with no ***** made excuse everything would be fine. Instead he disagrees and creates a media ****storm about his own reputation, giving everyone doubts about his own legitimacy.

            We're in a day and age where *d*ots like you follow a convicted felons words.

            I have no issue with random blood testing(and I for one have disagreed with PAC's recent replies re random testing). I have an issue with an opponent dictating who, what does the testing !!

              You still haven't come up with a good reason why using USADA is a bad thing. They're more stringent than any other professional organization and their results would be more conclusive than using any other organization.

              You have a problem with Floyd Mayweather picking the most highly respected PEDs testing organization in the United States?

              So you're saying you'd rather use an organization that isn't as stringent and isn't as highly respected?

                When an enemy of yours is suggesting how to go about things, you have to question it ?

                How do you know M**ey Mayweather is not politically connected with the USADA. The last thing I'd do is take advice, suggestions from somoen like Mo**ey Mayweather, lmao.

                Is Mo**ey really putting this testing out there for the betterment of the sport or for his own benefit ?

                How do you know they're more stringent than the agencies that the NFL and MLB uses, especially all the stuff they find out, best believe the MLB has tightened up in every way, after having the highest US court involved. Are you kidding me ?

                  There's no question USADA is the gold standard in regards to PEDs testing.

                  Again, you're beating around the bush, talking about Floyd when the issue is pure and simple:

                  Manny doesn't want to be tested by USADA.

                  And the bottomline is that Manny doesn't have a single valid excuse to avoid USADA testing.

                  Unless he's trying to hide something.

                  You can't spin it any other way. Arum tried and his 'fear of needles' **** didn't work.

                  ESPN and all the other news outlets and commentators are putting Pac to the flame and roasting the guy for refusing to test.

                  At the end of the day, Manny's digging his own grave.

                    So those NFL, MLB players aren't being tested by the best agencies ? Their drug tests isn't up to par ?

                    Who cares about E*PN's f**kin' opinions, I'm sure it's putting pressure on PAC, at the end of the day you and I do what we think is fair for us, not what Mo**ey Mayweather demands and chooses!!

                    Answer this: Is Mo**ey doing this for the betterment of the sport, or is he doing it for his benefit ?

                      Youre right.Manny doesn't wante to be tested by USADA.BUT Manny and Team Pac is willing to have his blood drawn as much as they want up to 5 days prior to the fight and right after fight.
