Schaefer singing new tune..pointing fingers
Said Schaefer: "The fact is we have never accused him of anything, nothing. We have been instructed by a client, which is Mayweather and Mayweather's management team, to ensure from the beginning that the proper test, which is blood and urine, be performed. That was in the first draft of the contact; this was no surprise.
"I believe in innocent until proven guilty. It is just that Mayweather wants the proper test to take place. It is as simple as that. If he doesn't want to do it, we can't force him. Nobody is accusing anybody of anything. Mayweather Sr. made that comment and I think Paulie Malignaggi made similar comments. And I think it's interesting now that he (Pacquiao) would want to fight Paulie Malignaggi, the guy who accused him of taking performance-enhancing drugs."
Malignaggi is being considered as a replacement for Mayweather. He has gone on record as saying he thinks something is up with Pacquiao because of his success in seven weight classes and the way he took heavy punches from Miguel Cotto last month without flinching.
Pacquiao stopped Cotto in the 12th round of a one-sided fight.
Schaefer said he doesn't understand why Pacquiao won't agree to the Olympic-style testing, whether it be done by the United States Anti-Doping Agency or another entity.
I thought they were firm on their decision that USAD will be the only one doing the tests now he mentioned other entity? Hah! And what's with those "we are just instructed by.." trying to wash hands early!? HAHA!
