Both sides are right and wrong in a sense.
The commissions oversee fights and do their own drug testing, fighters can ask for things outside in the norm in the contracts. Mayweather can ask for more stringest drug testing, as anyone with a basic knowledge of the drug testing in boxing knows that it doesn't take a genius to get around the testing, and Pacquiao can ask for penalties for an opponent being overweight as he has done on several occassions. As I've said before, things in the contract outside the norm aren't that rare, and almost always the fighter with more leverage (i.e. box office power) is the one benefitting from it.
Everyone's looking bad here. Team Mayweather simply should've just asked for stricter drug testing instead of making accusations. But of course, you can't stop Floyd Sr. from opening his mouth, so he kept yapping about how he thought Pacquiao was dirty and Floyd Jr. implied this on a radio show. So now we have this lawsuit. You've got Freddie Roach saying "blood tests are fine up to 3 days before the fight" or whatever and then later on you hear Bob Arum saying Manny only wants it up to 30 days before. Instead of simply saying they will go by the usual NSAC rules, we hear about how the tattoo-filled Manny being scared of needles and whatnot. Arum creates a new deadline every few days. Pacquiao writes a letter saying "all liars go to hell" and becoming more Holyfield-like with his religion talk (two married men known to **** anything that moves). Richard Schaefer and Oscar showing how blatantly hypocritical they are. Until they come to an agreement and get on with the fight, **** everyone in this ****ing mess.
Personally I don't know why anyone in this day and age would be surprised by any athlete using PEDs. Wow, a competitive athlete at a high level does something against the rules in order to recover quicker from workouts and train harder and improve their performance. Am I supposed to be shocked or something? My favorite argument is "he doesn't look like the type to cheat". What exactly does a cheating athlete look like?Last edited by Thread Stealer; 01-04-2010, 09:09 PM.

Some dumb petition gets its own headline and news story on here, but someone with these credentials gets ignored.
