Pac was fighter of the decade and looks super natural. Of course people are gonna be a little suspect he should take the test. Honestly, PBF is crazy if he fights Pac without a blood test at this point.Comment

A former Nevada State Athletic Commission Medical Advisory Board Chairman and Chief Ringside Physician, Dr. Margaret Goodman has a private practice as a neurologist in Las Vegas, Nev., but worked more than 400 professional bouts as a ringside physician.
FH: So there are lots of drugs that a fighter can take prior to competing that would be out of his systemp prior to the match?
Goodman: There are many anabolic steroids that will do the same thing, it's just a question of when you stop them. How would somebody know all of this? The average person can go on the internet and type in 'half-life, anabolic steroids,' and they can get plenty of information as to how long these things stay in your system.
And there are individuals out there who will design a program. They'll ask, 'When is your competition,' and they'll design a program to make sure that they'll get the benefits from the drugs, but the drugs won't be in their system when they're drug-tested.
Obviously, the BALCO situation brought everything to a head. But there are many, many, many individuals out there who are physicians, who are chemists, who are working with athletes and designing special programs of what they need to take and when, when they need to stop it. And it's a very expensive process.
But the average Joe can go on the internet and pull up a lot of this stuff too. There are books and journals and things like that that you can get that will lay it out for you on how to do it.
If a former Nevada State Athletic Commission Medical Advisory Board Chairman and Chief Ringside Physician thinks that its current testing procedure is useless, why are everyone so against what Floyd is asking for? She gave Floyd credit for asking that type of testing procedure.
