It's well documented that Manny was willing to give HAIR samples. the issue was DRAWING blood too close to the fight....not about giving blood for a PED test.
They agreed to give HAIR samples for ****'s sake.
I'm sure that after Roach and Manny learned that Tygart stopped BLOOD testing 18 days from the fight, he knows they always have to have a cutoff anyway.
Taking blood too close to the fight is an injury risk (or at least a good excuse for one).
Imagine a nicked vein, or any type of reaction (lingering or not) ONE WEEK away from the fight. The fight would be OFF!.
Whether you Floyd fans like it or not, there will always be a cutoff. Rather have a "complication" 18 days from a fight, than a week away.
