    Freddie Roach:"I'm in favor of additional testing but Floyd ain't gonna run the show"

    Here are some excerpts but to read the entire article, go to this link...

    --------------------

    "Fighter's don't make the rules. Commissions make the rules and we go by commission rules only", Roach said, "There's no way in the world that Floyd's going to run the show. I'm not going to let that happen."

    But what if boxing commissions move towards using more Olympic style drug testing? Right now, most commissions require urinalysis for drug testing and do not draw blood. Despite was Pacquiao promoter Bob Arum says, experts agree that blood testing is far more effective than urine testing when it comes to finding banned substances in someone's body.

    "I would favor it", Roach said of Olympic style drug testing being implemented by boxing commissions, "I think it's good for the sport but I don't think theres a lot of steroids in boxing to be honest with you. Not like other sports like baseball and football that are much more contaminated I feel.

            This fight needs to happen ASAP! If Pac is gonna screw around in them politics and take long layoffs it may hurt him. I hope he loses the election because boxing needs Pac.

              why does the fight need to be done asap...its not like the world ended when that fight didnt happen...it will happen.....the sooner it comes....the more boring it will become after....i wouldnt mind holding off on the fight if it made me 2.5x times richer later on cause of more hype.

                  So basically what he is saying is "Cheating is bad but we still won't take the tests"
