Schaefer singing new tune..pointing fingers

[gopi11]

Roach: I have no problem with that whatsoever. Whatever kind of testing they want is no problem. I have trouble giving Manny Pacquiao vitamins. He won't take any protein drinks. No problem at all.

Whatever kind of testing is waaay different from who's doing the testing, specially if your prospective opponent keeps on insisting it has to be done by an agency they have prior contact with, that's an ambush in any language...

Well who let you take a look at the contract..lol. Your pulling that out of your arse.

contract agreed in princple

[project xxx1]

His problem is being tested on fight day! Cmon keep up man. He's been saying I'll take the tests anytime but not on fight night. But the USADA doesn't compromise their policies.

Pacman urged to take test

Pacquiao: Has refused to take a blood test 30 days before his fight with Mayweather

I have already agreed to the testing and it is a shame that he is not willing to do the same. It leaves me with great doubt as to the level of fairness I would be facing in the ring that night.

The much anticipated clash between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao is in doubt due to a dispute over drug testing.

Golden Boy Promotions and Mayweather Promotions have issued a statement claiming that Pacquiao's refusal to take a blood test 30 days before the March bout meant the showdown was now "in jeopardy".

Golden Boy chief executive Richard Schaefer said: "Todd (Top Rank president Todd duBoef) told me that Pacquiao has difficulty with taking blood and doesn't want to do it so close to the fight.

"He, Pacquiao, would only agree to have blood drawn before the kick-off press conference and after the fight.

"It is unfortunate to hear this from Manny Pacquiao's representatives, particularly since, as of today, both parties had worked out all other issues related to this fight.

"Team Mayweather is certainly surprised that an elite athlete like Manny Pacquiao would refuse drug testing procedures which Floyd has already agreed to and have been agreed to by many other top athletes such as Lance Armstrong, and Olympians Michael Phelps, LeBron James and Kobe Bryant."

Mayweather has insisted that Pacquiao's failure to accept the Olympic-style testing has left him questioning the possible "fairness" of the fight.

"I understand Pacquiao not liking having his blood taken, because frankly I don't know anyone who really does," said Mayweather.

"But in a fight of this magnitude, I think it is our responsibility to subject ourselves to sportsmanship at the highest level.

"I have already agreed to the testing and it is a shame that he is not willing to do the same.

"It leaves me with great doubt as to the level of fairness I would be facing in the ring that night." ( just for you mate keep up)

ok mate,he is guilty and thats why he will make sure that he dont come in over the limit this time,but thats not why the fight has been called off,manny still wont agree to a random usada test and thats the main issue we have

yes, they dont want the random thing, even i wont like it since it is not the requisites in professional boxing they cant force me to. why would pacquiao be forced to do what floyd ask him to do. and why so insistent on the issue now, wheres the words of floyd when he said manny is easy work easy money?

you don't remember when Roach said this

FH: What are your thoughts on the random Olympic-style drug-testing proposed by the Floyd Mayweather camp for both Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao prior to the fight?

Roach: I have no problem with that whatsoever. Whatever kind of testing they want is no problem. I have trouble giving Manny Pacquiao vitamins. He won't take any protein drinks. No problem at all.

but now the testing is a problem why??? it was agreed in princple

[TheSurgeonMDMPH]

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.

Team Pac already knew this from the beginning so why wait until the fight is almost signed to say you don't want to do it???

becuz thats wat the "honorable and prideful warrior who fights for the ppl of the Philippines and not for the money" does. agree then change shyt at the last second for leverage to get what he wants. SNAKE!

too bad he is dealing with other cold-blooded snakes and being exposed in the public eye for us all to see.

[gopi11]

no because its supposed to be the safest one,floyd wanted a drug test and thats why he put it in the contract that was agreed in princple,ok now what your saying is that floyd camp might have a influnce over usada which is fair enough so how about who arum is appointing to do the drug test,he might influnce them?so why should floyd change usada when arum could be courrpting the other lot

Then they can ship the blood and urine samples to an agency in France, the one who's doing the Tour De France. Now, whoever's camp brings this one up on the negotiating table will be accused of the same thing, they had a head start of knowing or could have prior talks with that agency. It will be an endless loop when we all know that Olympic style random drug testing is not applied on pro boxing, and pro boxing is under commission rules and regulations, and not by the IOC, who roost over the amateurs...

contract agreed in princple

Where is it printed and stated it is agreed upon? HMMMM? That really doesn't hold water now does it? You are reacting to something that really wasn't even agreed upon in the first place. Unless you have a copy of the contract that states Manny Pacquiao agreed to USADA and its testing rules and is signed by him....You are assuming, yes?

[MindBat]

The USADA is not affiliated with GBP..thats something Arum made up as one of his many "opinions" as to why they wont do the olympic style testing..

The USADA is a government ran company created in 2000..that randomly test olympians..that is why GBP/MP suggested USADA (olympic style testing)..but before that, the camps almost agreed on Sen.John McCain to mediate the random testing..but Pac's camp still refused..

When all else fails, they come up with more lies and excuses.

But now the testing is a problem why???

Exactly.

So they first agree to Olympic style testing, but Arum and Freddie can't change the USADA's already established protocols. So, the next best thing is to blame Mayweather for not accepting another testing protocol, and accuse him of being scared of fighting Manny.

Very clever.
