Why won't Hopkins take the PED test? What is he afraid of?

[ИATAS]

George Foreman did it without PEDs...

So even if B-Hop wins, he still won't be the oldest man to win a title without cheating.

tunny, sometimes you're a solid poster and others times you say very biased things. This is the latter. If hopkins doesn't take additional tests that obviously doesn't make him a cheater nor does it imply he's cheating, period.

History has shown us you can't really trust sportsmen to NOT be tempted to cheat. The money, fame, and success involved at this level practically guarantees that unless someone is of perfect ethics and morals ( very few people are) he will fall. Look no further than those athletes that just seem impossibly gifted in other sports and how many have recently been found to have used drugs... Marion Jones, Barry Bonds, Arod....

An honorable man would not falter in proving himself clean.

While this may or may not be true, it's irrelevant. If you aren't caught cheating, you shouldn't be treated like a cheater.

Jean Pascal comes across as scared assuming that the man HAS to be cheating. When, in reality, the evidence would suggest a very motivated man that simply takes care of himself and hasn't been in wars.

Let's not forget.

He's never failed a test. Doesn't party, doesn't drink or do drugs. Doesn't get into wars. Doesn't fight all the time, but doesn't get rusty. It's an easier way to fight in the long run.

Some athletes fail tests. They should be monitored accordingly. Unless that's happened, however, they shouldn't be treated like cheats.

That would be like having a probation officer while never having committed a crime. But, because people thought you were so successful, that you had to be breaking the law.

Not how this country SHOULD work. The argument is always, "Well, if you aren't hiding something, then don't worry about it."

Bull****.

Words like this are spoken by people willing to be pushed around in life.

Refusing a test doesnt make it right does it and it must cause su****ion that the one refusing is hiding something ,,,

On top of that any athlete refusing a PEDS test is morally wrong if you take into account the entire PEDS situation of world sport , take into account the benefits and money that winners get , lets face facts its no big deal to accept any drugs test that your opponent will take , all a PEDS test will do is try and make the contest a fair as possible for both competitors ,,,

How on earth can that be wrong !!!

[Mega Eggot]

He didn't exactly grow up in Bel-Air. Go up to his face and tell him "hey take a drug test or you are a cheater!"

[SirTomJones]

I voted for a laugh.

[The Hammer]

Because Pascal is nobody to demand OST from Hopkins. If the governing boards want OST, then they'll get OST. I hope Hopkins beats his ass so bad that his own mother won't recognize him afterwards.

It's not OST they're asking for.

It just another couple of tests on the urine that B-Hop will be submitting anyway.

[fitefanSHO]

Once a contract is signed and agreed upon by both fighters you can't make demands after the fact.

Exactly, at this point it's just head games, and psychological warfare.

Asked point blank last week if he thinks Hopkins is "cheating", Pascal, said "NO"

[Who are you?]

Hopkins is obviously on PEDs.

[lfc19titles]

to the noooos

Shows they are just biased fools on here

like your hero floyd said

how do you get better when you are much older all of a sudden? nobody has done what hopkins has done

if pac is on peds despite him now agreeing to ost then you same black americans have to say Hopkins is on it as well for rejecting them

But of course they wont, one is american and black, the other is not, therefore the non american is on peds

[MARKBNLV]

So Bernard Hopkins has refused to take the proposed PED test before the rematch with Pascal.

What is he afraid of?

Come on Tunney is this a joke,Bernard has always done things right,did he look faster or stronger he didnt to me if anything his handspeed has decreased,did he suddenly ko Pascal nope,not to mention he was drug tested before and after the fight.
