Manny Pacquiao is making a bad, bad move with this lawsuit.
If (big IF) Manny goes forward with a lawsuit, it will damage him and further link his name to steroids and performance enhancing drugs.
I say "if" because Pacquiao has talked about lawsuits for months and months, and has not done anything about it.
Marion Jones sued Victor Conte. All that happened was that she embarrassed herself and ended up spending time in prison.
Roger Clemens filed suit against his trainer who revealed Roger's use of HGH. How did that go?
Shane Mosley was trying to sue his former trainer over steroid use. It ended up backfiring because Shane's grand jury testimony was made public.
Manny should be verrrry careful here. Does he really want Ariza answering questions under oath? "Mr. Ariza, have you ever administered or provided a banned substance to yourself or any other athlete?"
A lawsuit would just reinforce two words in the psyche of the sports and general public : Pacquaio and Steroids.
Most people won't pay enough attention to know whether he is innocent, guilty or whatever. They will just hear Manny's name associated with PED's and lump him in with every other dirty athlete.
Name one athlete who benefited from a lawsuit of this type. I just named three who clearly did NOT. The lawsuit is an attempt to distract from the real issue: that Pac needs to know when he WON'T be tested.
Besides, what statement from Richard Schaefer or Floyd, Jr is Manny suing over? A request to take a test that Floyd was willing to take himself? A test request is defamation? So should PBF sue himself for defamation also?
Manny, you are making a big mistake by talking lawsuit. And it's strange that Manny wants to sue Floyd, but is willing to fight Malignaggi. Wasn't Paulie MUCH more vocal than PBF?
Manny, you are making yourself look more and more guilty every day.
