Comments Thread For: Pacquiao's Alex Ariza Shreds USADA Director Travis Tygart

[Boxing Sage]

Manny, tell your pips to stop running their mouth, cos they're making you seem guilty as hell.

[Vito Corleone]

USADA is an extention of WADA, and its job is to protect the clean competitive athletes who wish to participate in a PED free sport. Ariza can discredit Tygart all he wants,, but the truth is the principles of the testing were 1st set forth and are in accordance to the World Anti Doping code. There is no hidden agenda by these organizations, and if you have a problem with USADA, then you have a problem with WADA. Your position is you do not want a PED free sport, you want to circumvent the truth, in favor of an emotional attachment that some of you have to Pacquiao.

The truth is, the RANDOM drug testing administered is 1st and foremost a deterrent to PED practices within competitive sports and Ariza knows this very well. Victor Conte went to jail in 2004, and the WADA Anti Doping Code was revised in 2004. Since then additional Model rules have been implemented as of 2009, which are vastly different to the original format adopted in 2003. IMO Conte's contradictory comments on this issue are only self serving, which may be predicated only because a hidden personal agenda exists.

Bottom line, Pacquiao needs to take the test or walk away from the fight. He, and his team are in no position or have no control over the progression and advancement of PED testing, and eventually most if not all North American sports will be in compliance to standards set forth by the World Anti Doping Code.

Educate yourselves, and stop using USADA and Tygart as an excuse for why Manny wont submit to random testing absent of cut off dates.

Tygart is doing his job.


Woooo!

This is a serious question:

Has any other athletic trainer ever criticized USADA or been critical of random drug testing? I'm not talking about boxing...sports in general.

[The Nature Boy]

A positive test result yes, the actual test itself I would say no.

Here's the problem with Ariza:

When Mayweather Sr, a former boxer and current trainer, raised su****ions, Ariza said that Floyd, Sr wouldn't know about steroids because he never graduated from high school.

When Tygart, a trained lawyer with degrees from good schools , raised su****ions, Arisa said that Travis wouldn't know about steroids because he never laced up the gloves.

Hmmm. So in Alex's world, there's always a reason to discredit somebody

ouch, more ownage

[jayhova29]

Nice work Ariza...spoken like a true steroid peddler!

i agree. Where in jersey are you from?

[iskupaldi]

It's the same posters here who all of a sudden, became a bunch of steroids and PED experts after reading a few articles. Man, a little knowledge is dangerous. Stop hating too much. No one is Guilty unless proven otherwise. Oh, and for those who are overly critical about some-body's English Grammar, please get a life. (you know who you are)

Nobody has criticised USADA other than Team Pacquiao

Ariza should keep his mouth shut, He makes his fighter look even worse

Good post.

i cant believe people are still saying pac is ducking the tests! he agreed to what floyd proposed in the first fight so how is that ducking. Do you guys hate him so much that you have to make him look guilty even though he agreed to the tests you all asked for him to do a few months back.

*****s have no more ammunition to shoot at pac. You guys are just plain hating now or joy riders.

Perception is reality. Your principles are completely fkkd IMO. You have what's called blind faith, this what makes people believe they know a God they never met.
