Comments Thread For: If Lance Armstrong Can Do It - Why Can’t Manny?

[THRILLAinmanila]

Wow, comparing pedalling with being hit in the head and all over the body is like comparing
chess to wrestling.

Sorry TK, but I have to disagree with your reasoning here.

Manny is disagreeing because this is becoming a harrassment demand
more than anything. He has agreed to testing for some periods before and
after the fight, but still he gets persecuted just because he does not want to get tested near the fight? He can always get caught with a blood test AFTER the fight, IF he does use steroids.

And why do people think he will ruin everything he has accomplished by taking
banned substances in the first place? Its all paranoia emanating from Floyd's camp. Suckers are nothing but ******* trying to position themselves in case they lose (and they will). Mayweather is just trying to draw "good" publicity to himself.

Well, he can eat all the publicity and fight someone else.


Manny does not have to prove anything as he has tested negative for anything
banned his whole boxing career.

And he does not have to agree to all the folly that Floyd's camp is
producing.

Anytime within an 8 week span up to 1 day before the fight, and right after the fight still not enough?

Yeah right when some boxers get caught of using illegal substance, why didn't this random blood tests enforce. The f@ckin question is "WHY ONLY NOW?". When Golden Boy didn't even want to subject Mosley who I presumed got caught using steroids to blood test as well.

This ****ty fans didn't or the right word is does not want to use their brains to figure out that why is the f@cking mayweather camp ranting on random blood test when the one they're accusing has been clean ever since and this issue was not even present some months before, they're trying to make excuses, that's why.

wake up part 2

Can not believe some of the posts here. Cycling and boxing are similar in their cardiovascular demands. The random tests are an excellent idea for any sport. Doping is running rampant in sports and the only way to stop it is random testing. Anyone who agrees with Manny's pitiful excuses is ignorant or blindly devoted. Bob Arum has no shame. Look at the way he defended Margochito. His responses are pure lawyer B.S. If this fight does not happen it is Pac's fault and people should really wonder why he would blow a chance to make the biggest purse in boxing history if he has nothing to hide. Floyd should not budge from his stance on this issue. If Pac refuses the random test you must assume only one logical conclusion........he is dirty!

[Allucard]

Did you read the article? Refusing to completely random testing is the same as refusing all testing outright. If an athlete is allowed to dictate 'no tests for the last 30 days' or 'tell me before you come to my training', then there are ways to mask the performance enhancing drugs he could be taking.

If the tests are not 100% random, and without Pacquiao's prior knowledge, they might as well not be happening; i.e. he might as well be refusing them altogether. The way his team wants to set the schedule of testing defeats the entire purpose.

Exactly. It's not Mayweather who decides the schedule or even drawing the blood lol. In fact, he'll be subject to the same tests. This definitely puts a cloud over Manny's impressive run!!!

[likemike]

This article suggest to everyone that manny is guilty until he proved himself innocent. But from all angle manny is not going to do that. And he shouldn't and definitely has no reason to do so. I guess people who comments that he should has his or their own reason/s. Golden boy was beaten to retirement by manny and suddenly he found a reason to say if "if you have nothing to hide blah blah blah and the reason why I lost to Mosley is he was in to something so maybe that's the same reason I was beaten by the pacman".
The point is if people began telling you to this things so you could satisfy their own agenda would you do it? "Run on top of that 10-story building and get me a something I want. If you don't your an evil person". This is the way the mayweathers are trying to run the show.
****** people would follow. But Manny isn't ****** at all. So goodbye Mayweather. It's not only who lost a big fight, you know.

[mananimal]

thats like saying floyd never ducks challenges, doesnt just fight for money, and has taken on all the elite fighters in his weight class, none of that is true, and dumbass is your opinion on mayweather...if the boxing commissions testing isnt good enough, then we better go back and start questioning the whole ****ing thing then , all the great fighters since testing was inacted shld now be called into question. This is another excuse by mayweather not to fight, i cant believe how many dumbass's actually believe a word that come from Mayweather, he's track record spks for it self, and PACMANS spks for him. This is like executing an innocent man based on accusations, yah your real ****ing smart!!! lol
