No Steroid Testing for Pac - Clottey Fight

[check hook]

You're right... absolutely right... Boxing needs better testing. But, fighters have been caught with steroids... But, I do get what you're saying.

I agree thats why i have said i don't care what Floyd's motivation were in asking Pac......maybe it's unfair to single him out....but can u really blame him given this is the standard boxing currently has??

Does any1 know if this is actually true....or is it just speculation or opinion from another ******ed blogger??????



No steroid testing for Pacquiao-Clottey fight

February 25, 2010 By WALLACE MATTHEWS wallace.matthews@newsday.com


Manny Pacquiao's last fight fell apart over steroid testing.

For his next fight, it won't even be an issue.

Pacquiao, whose negotiations for a projected $100-million megafight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. collapsed in January when he balked at Mayweather's demands for random, Olympic-style blood testing, will not be tested at all before or after his March 13 welterweight title fight against...

They don't need to be tested because they're not steroid user unlike mosley and floyd both of them are su****ious that's they're having a MAYWEATHER DRUG TEST STANDARD.

At first I wish he would of done it with JMM. My stance has always been the same if you going to ask one opponent ask every opponent... I honestly unfair to Pac to question his credibility and ask him to do it and then not ask any other of your opponents to do it... I honestly felt he should of asked JMM. If he honestly wants to cleans the sport like he said he does then why not ask JMM to take random blood testing? But, he didn't. And, it did look like he was signling out Pac. And, if I was Pac I wouldn't of done it either god honest truth. But, now that Floyd has asked Shane to do it and will ask future opponents to do it. Then I have no problem with him asking Pac now...

no their wont be pacquiao is against accurate drug testing? he prefers the state run testing that failed to catch mosely 10 years ago. thats all true and can not be debated. those are facts pacquiao prefers the same tests that failed to catch mosely 10 years and he will not go through up to date accurate random blood tests.

IMDAZED posted earlier or yesterday that they don't even do steroid testing in the state of Texas....or something like that, I'll try to find that post.

Texas and Drug Testing

I think the thread starter is not talking about blood testing, but regular urine based steroid testing.

The state of Texas does not require ANY form of testing whatsoever in their fights. So that means there will not be ANY testing at all, not even a standard urine test prior to and right after the fight that you would see in a state like Nevada. However, the only way that Texas would even require a standard urine test is if the involved fighters had a history of testing positive in previous fights.

Because Pacquiao nor Clottey have ever tested positive there won't be ANY testing whatsoever for the March 13th fight, let alone blood testing.

"Neither Manny Pacquiao nor Number One ranked WBO welterweight title challenger Joshua Clottey will be required to do any prefight blood or urine testing other than the miniminal Texas commission requirements to be licensed as boxers" - Micheal Marley, The Examiner

That is ridiculous, now we know why Pacquiao wanted to fight in Texas.

Floyd doesn't make the rules and he wasn't allowed to dictate what he has no business dictating. You all lose.

[Measy1749]

every1 talks about rules like boxing is a sport like football or basketball. the fighters look after themselves, there is no players assn to look after them, there is no commissioner or persident. fighters agree to contracts n put stipulations in those contracts...it has nothing to do with making rules. y cant u guys understand that?? i dont think manny is roiding but i do think it was a very fair contract stipulation. if the only way u can discredit the request is saying floyd dont make rules, then you dont understand contract negotiations.
