"With Mayweather and Mosley, it was like, 'Look, guys, if we have no desire or need to test you three days, or two weeks with blood, then we're not going to do that,'" said Tygart. "But we have a right to do it, because circumstances might arise where we get wind that there is someone using human growth hormone, or another drug, and we want to catch you and stop you before the fight so that you don't go and hurt the other fighter."
"We don't care who's doing the test," Arum said. "They stopped taking blood 18 days before [Mayweather-Mosley], so that shows they can do it and be fine."
"We're saying the same thing, that if there's information that emerges in the final 14 days, we can go to the [state boxing] commission and ask for more tests. We can work it out. No one's looking to pull any fast ones."
Seems like a reasonable compromise to me, considering Pacquiao doesn't have to take ANY extra tests beyond what the commission requires.
But please, bull**** some more.Comment

Arum said they would agree to an initial 14-day cutoff but if USADA had a valid reason for continuing blood testing beyond that point (which was their alleged reason for stopping the Mayweather-Mosley tests at 18-19 days, lack of a reason to test further), then they can take whatever evidence they have to the boxing commission and order further testing.Comment

Because Pac has made it clear he does not feel comfortable having blood drawn, especially too close to a fight. On top of that, the NSAC and its spokespeople (including the former head of the Olympic committee) claim that drawing blood within 2-3 weeks of a boxing match heightens many medical risks, especially hematomas in the arms. And in that same hearing (and in other interviews) Tygart himself said they stopped testing 18-19 days out because they felt they had no reason to (but probably they were also aware of the health risks). This is what the head of USADA said on the matter:
So basically, Tygart and USADA felt that 18-19 days for an admitted steroid user was adequate time to stop testing, but that if they 'got wind' of something, then they would've conducted more tests. So naturally, Arum retorted:
So instead of cutting off blood testing 18-19 days, it happens at 14 so the health risks are minimized AND if Tygart and USADA have a LEGITIMATE reason for further blood drawing (like if they 'get wind' of an A-Side Meth shipment) then they can present their case to the commission to get more of that sweet vein nectar that pays their bills.
Seems like a reasonable compromise to me, considering Pacquiao doesn't have to take ANY extra tests beyond what the commission requires.
But please, bull**** some more.Comment
