Well Roach says (and you gotta take what he says with a grain of salt) that he loses Pacquiao for about 3 days in training after blood is being withdrawn. Whatever that means it doesn't sound like something positive in the lead up to one of the biggest fights in history.
Listen, noone really knows what's what other than Pacquiao and those around him. If everyone was required to take these tests and Pacquiao said "no i won't do it cause I don't like giving blood" I would be pissed as ****. I'd say that other boxers might not like giving blood too but they are all forced to do it anyways and if everyone backed out of fights because of OST, then there would be no fights.
But that's not whats going on here. We're in a situation where 99.9% of the time there is no blood drug tests in the weeks leading up to the fight. So if I'm Pacquiao and I don't like to give blood and my opponent says I'm a cheater and he won't fight me unless I give blood, I'd tell him to **** off.
