Pacquiao Official Statement "Case filed on the Federal Court"

[renren40]

The argument that he would be weakened if he were to take a blood test the week of the fight doesn't hold water.

"The amount of blood taken is so small it will have zero effect on performance," said Dr. Gary Wadler, the World Anti-Doping Agency chairman of the Prohibited List Committee. "It's really inconsequential when you take into account the total blood volume in the human body. It's not a valid argument."

That is not guaranteed.

No one knows what happens during those procedures.

A tech can screw up and miss. Manny's blood flow might be so strong that it spurts immediately like mine does when I have to do it. Manny might be a flincher which I'm sure he is (I bet more than half of everyone here flinches when giving blood) Remember, it is not a Doctor that draws the blood. It never is.

defamation is a civil suit..not a federal case

Number 1. Federal vs. Civil

Number 2. Jurisdiction (i.e. locality)

[renren40]

Pac is literally releasing Public Statements that say I am not on Roids and never have been, however, I refuse to take any random blood test to prove it.

He stated he is wiling to take random tests but not moments before the fight. I'm owning this thread.

1 Million points this case is in pacs favor. lemme know

[Drunken Cat]

If they do agree to random testing.

They should do it at the same time and at the same place right next to each other getting in fight mode.

Assuming it's urine testing, they could even have a nice sword fight as well."peeleft:

You believe that the proceedings in court will make up for the suspicions of Manny's actions?

no but it sure will clear the mayweathers wallet

The founding secretary general of the World Boxing Council, eminent lawyer-sportsman Rudy Salud said “I’ve been waiting for them (Pacquiao and Arum) to do that. They have all the right to do that and they will win that case. They cannot deny the statements in which they have accused Pacquiao without any evidence. They are caught. No way for them to get out of that.”

There seems to be concern from numerous members of the sports industry. from writers, to reporters, even other athletes, regarding why I am concerned with random blood testing. Here is what I would like to explain for the world to understand.

My concern has never been with someone randomly checking me with regards to blood or urine. I volunteered immediately to have my urine tested anytime someone wanted to, all the way up to the time I am walking into the ring. It was later brought to my attention and the attention of my staff that you can not test for Synthetic Growth Hormone through urine. You could only detect Synthetic Growth Hormone through blood tests. Before all is this blood testing and demands from other people I had never even heard of Synthetic Growth Hormone. I have never seen it before nor have I ever used it.

As I have stated before I have never used anabolic steroids nor do I even know what they look like.

My concern as a fighter is that there should be some limitations and agreements on how much blood they can take from someone prior to a fight. My other concern is how close to the actual fight itself can they take the blood. It is my opinion taking blood from a person can weaken you. I do not want to be in a weakened state when I enter the ring against any fighter.



I view using steroids, synthetic growth hormone, or any other illegal or banned substance as cheating. I would never cheat this sport that I love. I would never cheat the legacies of the great champions I have been blessed to challenge. I would never do anything to cheat such great champions as Miguel Cotto, Ricky Hatton, all of the Mexican Warriors that I have been blessed to go into the ring and do battle with. I believe all of these men to have great honor for boxing, for their country, and for themselves. They are heroes to me. These are people I have great respect for.


There would be no way I would ever cheat them out of what they deserve.


We as boxers risk our lives every time we enter the ring. We risk our health. This is a very dangerous sport. There is nothing I would do to make me have an unfair advantage to my opposition. This would not only be unfair to their legacy, but to their health, which could cause permanent damage. I would not want to hurt anyone nor would I want to cause pain to their families.



I take my training very serious. I train 30 rounds a day to be in the best shape during a fight, so I can give the fans the best show I can. I eat very healthy like chicken and fish and a lot of rice.


In order to make these new heavier weight classes I have to eat more then I have ever eaten in my life. I actually have to eat 5 times a day and bigger meals than I have ever eaten before.

I eat foods that build muscle. I work out hard. I stay very focused and disciplined towards my goal. I focus on success.


God has graced me with my abilities and I give all glory to him. I try and let God use me as an example of what someone can be if they if they never give up, if they work hard and believe in themselves, and if they never give up on life itself.

I believe you must believe in God and never quit.


I say this and I hope you will all understand. "Winning is only as good as the Winner itself"


THIS WILL BE MY LAST OFFICIAL STATEMENT REGARDING THIS MATTER. THERE WILL BE NO MORE STATEMENTS MADE BY ME OR AUTHORIZED BY ME REGARDING THIS MATTER, AS A DEPRIMATION OF CHARACTER LAWSUIT HAS BEEN FILED IN FEDERAL COURT. ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS OR FOR MORE INFORMATION REGARDING HOW TO CONTACT MY ATTORNEY'S PLEASE EMAIL CRAVEMPBOXING@YMAIL.COM



Manny Pacquiao

Goodluck GBP, Gayweathers, u r about to pay millions of dollars

Pacquiao has really nothing to gain but tarnishing his legacy by getting legal action instead of taking his own actions.

This guy is unbelievable

[inxyoxfacex65]

he wasnt took weak was he?

Usain Bolt made them win the gold. He wasn't the one that took first.

[renren40]

You believe that the proceedings in court will make up for the suspicions of Manny's actions?

Yes. America is not that ignorant to make judgement. Of course opinions will vary. There have been a significant amount of credible articles that are neutral and professional on this issue. The good will overcome.

[Reloaded]

I'm pretty sure clearing his name is on his things to do list.
Just not on everyone else's terms or timeline.

Clear name was easy job , say test no prob for honorable champion when first ask , why make big noise for such formality thing , court no clear name , Manny is over cooking himself and blame all other people , Manny making big mistake in way handle this little test
