Comments Thread For: Goodman Questions Mayweather-Mosley Drug Testing Gap

[Vito Corleone]

THIS IS MY CONCERN:

Manny Pacquiao said that he is willing to go up to 14 days "as long as the amount of blood taken is not to large". This condition has been overlooked. Also, what is the frequency that Pac will agree to?
For example: Mayweather gave blood three times within a 3-week period. Is manny OK with giving Blood four or five times in a month? If he is legitimately bothered by the process, I can see how a weekly blood draw would be discomforting.

And, is there a standard amount that is taken for a drug test? What is that amount? Does Manny consider that amount too large?

It just seems to me that Bob Arum is doing a lot of criticizing, but very little self-education, and very little education of his fighter.

Six months after the initial requests, there should be a greater amount of knowledge and certainty within the Pacquiao camp. Don't you agree?

I know that the WADA standard is about a teaspoon of blood. I also concede that I saw a couple of vials sitting on the table (during 24/7) that definitely appeared to be more than a teaspoon.

Manny said OK to 14 days. With conditions. Let's not all get too excited until we understand what those conditions are. A lot remains up in the air.

Dude give it up, 14 days is fair... check the poll in the other thread.

he does raise a good question.. sounds fishy. he said it was up until the fight.. but it wasnt. Mayweather has the USADA in his pocket. for all we know he did use xyclocaine and steroids. if he don't take this 14 day **** with pacquiao, he's a coward. i mean for all we know he already juiced for mosley.. what's 14 days to him with pacquiao?

It's OK to malign the integrity of these professionals...right?

This is exactly how Pac fans get upset if anybody accuses Pac of anything unethical, but then turn around and accuse Shane Mosley and Naazim Richardson of fixing the Mayweather fight.

we're quoting Victor Conte now? wow!! The guy who invented all of those undetectable steriods, is saying it's a good thing that manny has agreed to a 14 day window.Who cares what he has to say.
Random testing is random testing, no cut off dates. A lot of you guys are losing sight of that fact. you cannot schedule random tests. Over the past few months Manny has lost any leverage he has on the issue. More and more boxer are coming out in support of it, the NSAC is considering switching to more stringent testing, the public is overwhelmingly in support of it, Floyd's PPV numbers are higher, Floyd fought the lineal welterweight champ and nearly shut him out, Pac wouldn't fight Mosley. All of this posturing in the media is a poor veiled attempt to pre-emptively place blame should the fight not take place. Funny how Arum already has a date, site and opponent already picked out for Manny.
