These athletes....TOOK THE BLOOD TESTS!!

[AFighter4U]

His actions are VERY MUCH that of a guilty person. He wants to know when he will and will not be tested.

Manny is asking for large test-free windows.

Sheesh! You people sure have selective memory. In the 17 years Manny's been fighting as a boxer, he avoided ZERO TESTS, and passed ALL TESTS he was subjected to, INCLUDING BLOOD TESTS.

In fact, he had no problem taking the sudden blood test requested from him just four days before his 1st Morales fight.

They asked for his blood and he gave it to them.

NO FUSS.

NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

AND GUESS WHAT? HE PASSED THEM ALL!

And by the way, that 14 day window floyd jr. gave him? That can ALSO BE CONSIDERED A LARGE WINDOW TO CHEAT.

That's cuz you only need 24 hours to hide the drugs in your system.

IF Manny really cheated, he would have simply JUMPED AT THE 14 DAY WINDOW FLOYD GAVE HIM.

And the taking of blood is both a mental and physical thing. NOT EVERYONE REACTS THE SAME WAY WHEN BLOOD IS TAKEN FROM THEM.


AGAIN, MANNY ALSO TOOK RANDOM BLOOD TESTS AND PASSED ALL OF THEM.

He just didn't like how it affected him so now he's more cautious to make sure there is a certain time frame between the tests and the fight.

These people are so accustomed to feeling weak since their birth, they dont notice it anymore. athletes...where?

Jo,

Learn the sport. Pac took a CDE test. Not a PED test.

And he took that blood test in the most lax Commission in the sport, by the way.

Dude. Don't tell me he never took PED test. YES HE HAS!!!

Read this article. Don't knock off the writer. Because these are the facts!

Renowned Pacquiao’s trainer Freddie Roach said in that HBO documentary episode, “There’s no validation in that accusation because he’s never been tested positive. He’s been tested in every title fight and has passed every time. Just because he went from 106 lbs. to 147 lbs., does that mean he is on steroids?” Roach questioned, “Floyd Mayweather, Jr. went from 106 to 154 lbs., does that mean he is on steroids too? That’s bull---t!”


"Manny has never tested positive for PED (perfomance enhancing drugs) or steroids.”

...and never complained about feeling weak.

i dont think what they do is as taxing as boxing, to be honest

[SryNoAutographs]

Manny cant give blood though, I mean come on asking a guy to give blood that's ridiculous. Have you seen the needles they use now days? How would he even be able to move for weeks after giving blood???????

What most haters CANNOT comprehend is that all this talk about blood tests to clean up the sport is just a bunch of bull crap.

Why?

Its simply too expensive.

Look at Golden Boy. They chimed in with Floyd jr. in demanding for blood tests, yet in their undercard in the Floyd/Mosley fight, NOT A SINGLE UNDERCARD TOOK A RANDOM BLOOD TEST.

And this is for a multi-million dollar fight!

Also, the only way to effectively use the blood tests is to test them randomly UP TO 24 HOURS RIGHT BEFORE THE FIGHT.

Face it. Any longer than 48 hours is already a window of opportunity to cheat.

I'm not even going to waste time reading an article from PhilBoxing.

The test that manny Pac took before the Clottey fight was a CDE.

Texas doesn't perform PED blood testing. Period.

How about the marathoners? is that taxing?

How about THE BOXERS? or the wrestlers> or the Tae Kwon Do team?

How about mayweather and Mosley? How about Arthur Abraham? Or Mikkel Kessler?

NSAC considers new blood testing program
By Lance Pugmire
April 29, 2010

Manny Pacquiao has said he's willing to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. as long as any drug-testing policy is determined by a state commission, and not forced upon him like the independent program Mayweather and Shane Mosley agreed to for their Saturday welterweight title bout.

Now, the Nevada State Athletic Commission will consider adding a blood-testing program similar to the one Mayweather and Mosley are following.
Keith Kizer, the Nevada commission's executive director, said Thursday the commission will conduct a mid-May hearing to explore the effectiveness of the Mayweather-Mosley blood-and urine-testing program conducted by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. USADA head Travis Tygart is expected to attend the Nevada hearing and update commissioners about progress in detecting the use of performance-enhancing Human Growth Hormone and energy boosting EPO.

The Mayweather-Mosley promotion paid in excess of $20,000 for the agency to conduct the fighters' drug tests. Mosley said this week he's already submitted eight urine and four blood samples.

"A lot can be learned from what's occurred from Mosley-Mayweather and we want to mine that information," Kizer said. "It will depend on what the experts say, but if [a push for blood testing] is stressed, then I would think we'd act. If there's a way to improve our drug testing every year, we've proven we'll do it."

Kizer said it's feasible Nevada will a have blood testing program in place before the fall.

Negotiations for a Pacquiao-Mayweather bout fell apart when the fighters' camps squabbled over how close to a fight blood tests would take place. Pacquiao complained that blood draws weakened him, while Mayweather's camp suggested the Filipino star used performance-enhancing drugs.

Mayweather's co-promoter Richard Schaefer applauded Nevada's move toward becoming the first state commission to incorporate blood testing. "To not have the most thorough testing methods is inexcusable," he said.

And Pacquiao's promoter Bob Arum said, "Whatever the commission rules are, we'll follow them."

Many logistics would still need to be resolved: Who will pay for the blood tests? How often will they be employed? How would a fighter who tested positive be penalized?

Meanwhile, Mayweather remains a 4-to-1 favorite to beat Mosley in their bout Saturday, according to the MGM/Mirage Race and Sports Book, although most bettors are wagering the fight will go the distance.

Pacquiao, in the midst of campaigning for a congressional seat in the Philippines, is picking Mosley to beat Mayweather. His close friend, Winchell Campos said, Pacquiao "likes Mosley's power and speed and thinks he'll have a better plan."

Regardless of who wins, both will do well financially.

Kizer announced Mayweather will earn a minimum of $22.5 million for the fight before pay-per-view profits, and that Mosley will earn up to $7 million.

Next fight?

If Mayweather beats Mosley, there will be significant work ahead to secure the super-fight the boxing world has clamored for.

Arum wants a Pacquiao-Mayweather bout at Cowboys Stadium in Texas, noting, "I'd rather do it before 108,000 people in a stadium than 15,000 in an arena."

Schaefer responded, "The Las Vegas environment is much more conducive to staging a major pay-per-view, look at the record numbers we did [in 2007] with Mayweather-De La Hoya. The MGM Grand has built up a reputation as being the fight capital of the world."

That's cuz you only need 24 hours to hide the drugs in your system.

to make sure there is a certain time frame between the tests and the fight.

Just remember you said that next time one of your countrymen says "Manny offered to take a test AFTER the fight".

OK?
