Hey *******s! If the NSAC adopts OSDT will you still oppose Pac taking test?
Just wondering cause this seems to be your ONLY EXCUSE for Pac not to take the test.....
"Pac should follow the NSAC rules"---Every Pac Tard

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.
