Wow, Manny is starting to look really,really bad.
According to Robert Hough of *********.com, WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward and challenger Allan Green are in support of the idea of Olympic-style drug testing prior to their Super Six clash on June 19th in Oakland, California. Ealier today, during a press conference to discuss the upcoming bout, both fighters agreed to the testing when the subject was brought up. Ward's promoter, Dan Goossen, was also in agreement with the additional testing procedures. Whether or not Green's promoter, Lou DiBella, shares those sentiments remains to be seen, but Goossen will sit down and discuss the matter with him as soon as possible. The decision to request Olympic-style testing is becoming a growing trend in high-profile fights. The notion was first brought up by Floyd Mayweather, who demanded Olympic-style drug testing during negotiations for a bout with Manny Pacquiao. Ultimately, that fight fell through when Pacquiao chose not to participate in the additional tests, however, Shane Mosley did agree and his May 1 bout with Mayweather marked the first time that a professional boxing match complied;with United States Anti-Doping Agency drug testing procedures. Undefeated heavyweight contender Alexander Povetkin has made a similar request;during negotiations for a potential bout with WBO champ; IBF champion Wladimir Klitschko. The irony about Andre Ward is that he's been working with BALCO founder Victor Conte, who spent four months in prison after pleading guilty to money laundering and steroid distribution charges.
