Pacquiao tested negative for illegal drugs!

[Bee Keepz]

Can your Hematocrit be tested in the urine too?

No, requires blood work.

The Nevada Commission uses urinalysis testing before and after fights to detect illegal and performance-enhancing drugs, but other than requiring bloodwork to earn a one-year license, the NSAC has never used blood-testing to determine drug use, the organization's executive director, Keith Kizer, said on Saturday.

"We are prepared to advise the Nevada Athletic Commission that we only want them involved, and that Manny will take a random urinalysis test at any time on any date as long as it was ordered by the Nevada State Athletic Commission," Arum told FanHouse, saying that Monday is his deadline for finalizing the matchup before moving on to other options for the 31-year-old Pacquiao (50-3-2, 38 knockouts).

"No. 2, we would agree to take the blood test in January within 30 days of the fight and any other random blood tests that the Nevada State Athletic Commission elected to do without a timeline," said Arum. "We're so confident that the Nevada Commission would do the right thing that we don't have to put a timeline in there."

That's confusing. They would take random blood tests in January within 30 days of the fight? Are they fighting in February?

Pacquiao tested negative for illegal drugs!

Neither did Shane Mosley.

1. How do you know it's dislocated?

2. What do doctors use MRIs for?

MRIs are definitely not use for most fractures. And the xray is used for its specificity, to r/o fractures in the cases of dislocations, not confirm or diagnose.

No, requires blood work.

EXACTLY! These novices type two paragraphs of fiction just to support a possible cheater.

"We have things in place to do the urine tests, and we could do one every day until the day of the fight if they wanted to. But blood-testing is nothing we do," said Kizer. "So I doubt that it's something that we would do. But again, that would have to be something that the commission would have to look at."

Petition? Anyone, petition? Schaefer aka anti-doping advocate. Fair play, anyone?

Who cares if Schaefer made a petition or not? Schaefer is just a promoter, he says whatever makes the fighter he is promoting look good.

Specifically, can you tell us what this counteroffer was? An (official) link if you could.

Here you go, latest from ESPN during the mediation. I don't why this wouldn't be a honest and fair compromise.

Pacquiao (50-3-2, 38 KOs), who didn't want any blood testing, agreed to take three blood tests: one during the week of the kickoff news conference, which would take place next week if they can make a deal, one random test to be conducted no later than 30 days before the fight and a final test in his dressing room after the fight. Mayweather (40-0, 25 KOs) would be subject to the same testing procedures.

The other counter offer was to present each sides argument to the commission and let the commission decide what to do. IMO, that's even better and definitely more fair.

[Mr. Chago]

there are some PEDs that people take while "off season". that was the point of this test. so by him passing this randomly. it ADDS to the evidence that he is NOT.

Does this schedule tests even detects PEDīs, because it was said that it didnīt

So one random test, taken any time before the last month? You think this is a compromise?
