[New Development] - Texas Licensing and Reg. No Drug Testing For Pac/Clottey At All

[Blue Heffner]

Its quite sad that people are happy that a world class athlete is refusing more stringent drug testing just so he can say "i do things my way, screw you" to another world class athlete.

And it befuddles me when people say that Mayweather is trying to be bigger than the sport because of this. If my favorite fighter is being accused of using PEDs, I would have wanted him to take the test and prove everyone wrong.

guys, the sport of boxing is so corrupt that ppl dont care if manny is using or not. i think a lot of these ppl would rather not know...they are makin their case and they do not want that messed up by a possible scandal. i mean i dont think manny is using, but i also think ppl are to scard to find out. so whereas there would be an uproar if this was another sport where there is no ped testing, this is not the case here. ppl truly dont care and it's sad.

dont worry, just like the boom boom mancini fight where he killed the korean guy, something is gonna rock boxing so hard that ppl are gonna realize change is neded. it's just sad that by that time it'll proly be too late for some ppl.

The Texas Dept. of Licensing and Regulation won't be drug testing the boxers before and after their bout, a spokesman told the Daily News

Most state commissions have boxers submit to only urine tests before and after a fight. The Texas agency doesn't even do that. Its executive director, William Kuntz, can order a drug screen for boxers if there is "good cause." But Susan Stanford, a public information officer for the department, doesn't envision that happening for this fight, even though Pacquiao has come under increased scrutiny of late over the issue of performance-enhancing drugs. "At the present time, no drug testing will be required of the boxers," she told The News Thursday. "We don't see rumors as good cause. There is a medical examination before the fight, but that doesn't include drug testing."

Arum said he chose to stage the fight in Texas for the amenities, not the lack of drug testing. "I always assumed (that Texas) did drug testing, but I know for sure that the WBO insists on that," Arum said in a phone interview. "The reason the fight is in Texas is because it's in Cowboys Stadium, not because of the (lack of) drug testing."

So Im assuming that was the physical last week that Texas did if So the Philippine news had it wrong about it also being Tested for PED's.

The WBO will do one urine test after the fight though.

people started throwing 'peds this peds that' when in reality, and they themselves know this: Texas does NOT test for PEDS


they'll run tests for their own banned substance list ie. ephedra, diuretics etc

Pacquiao fights most of his fights in Nevada. After the drug testing issue is brought up, he immediately runs to Texas.

Yeah, OK.

here's some clarification.

"The tweets riled some people up. Just got call from Margarito attorney, who divulged the drug test results: Margs clean for everything."
