USADA's Tygart: Pacquiao's 14-Day Window 'Misses the Point'

[PAC-NATION]

"You can't have a blackout period," said Tygart, referring to Pacquiao's timetable. "You simply can't draw circles around certain times where you're not going to be tested."

The funny thing is the USADA stopped the testing 14 days out for floyd and ssm. If manny just keeps his mouth shut rather than offering to take non random tests no floyd fan could say anything.

Manny makes himself look guilty yet most of the manny fans, even reasonable ones I respect like brick wall and tamis, refuse to acknowledge this. Any offer that isn't random should raise concerns.

If manny just said "**** floyd I'm not taking test" from the beginiing there is nothing any floyd fan could say. Manny and his camp are their own worst enemy.

Honestly I think Manny and others aren't too familiar with these testing procedures. If anything I honestly think he is speaking out of ignorance and what he thinks these test will be like.

I think Tygart said the same thing. Athletes have alot of misconceptions and that is why he sits them down to explain what goes on. Tygart said that because he knows alot of athletes have this misconception and manny is no different.

by offering a cutoff date, or refusing to take the tests at all, manny will make himself look guilty. i don't agree with the last part of your post. the rest of it is on point tho.

It's so ****** but this is how low they've stooped.

So what about Manny then? What is his self motivation for wanting to know when he'll be tested? Since everyone has an agenda, right?

Exactly!...crickets is all that you're going to hear when making sound logic like that...you know common sense ain't so common...

[brick wall]

Yeah, so much authority that every top fighter pisses on their rules.

'We're doing USADA testing, do you mind?"

"Uhhh no. B-b-but can you at least tell us the results, pretty please?"


"We're doing our own weight penalties for the fight so **** your rules."

"Uhh ok! Just make sure our check is in the mail, you guys are great!"

lol exactly they have the authority but more than that they want the money...just like tygart and usada, they're in this just for the money. of course their loyalty is to that party who paid them. in other words, gpb, floyd and tygart are on the same side of the fence.

Get out of here! I missed that press conference! Why in the world is Floyd paying these guys???

[brick wall]

they have authority in NEVADA. now we see why it's so tough to get this kind of testing mandated.


the NSAC is power driven also. just like everybody else, they don't want to give up the power they have.

i totally agree on that they want to keep their power. usada and tygart on the other hand want to expand their power...the power to make more money.

[PAC-NATION]

because mayweather-pacquiao will be one of the top sporting events of the year, and will probably gross the most money for any boxing match ever.


the reason most sports haven't adopted this sort of testing as a "protocol" is because it is costly. but it's completely understandable why they would want to push it for mayweather-pacquiao.

Well also NFL said it was invasive and others say they have yet to consistently catch people.

by the way it was a pleausre debating with you. I gotta go brother, peace.

If that's the case, Floyd misses the point too, for offering it.

how is floyd missin the point when the 14 day cut off was a compromise by floyd it's not what he wanted at first but floyd was tryin to make the fight hapeened so thats why he eventually offered the 14 day cut off

come on bro.....get off that.



the first time around, mayweather said he would be willing to work with pacquiao and arum to find a mutually agreed upon agency to conduct the testing. quit making excuses for this dude. if you're clean, take the damn tests.

PAC-NATION:

you are probably right. Manny only knows what he is told. The thing is if he just doesn't say anything regarding the tests he would definitely get the benefit of the doubt.

Instead, he offers to take test with cutoff dates which makes it look like he is creating a window to cheat because he isn't arguing with floyd or his camp but the head of the USADA.

I just don't get it.
