Comments Thread For: Andre Ward: We Should Have Olympic Style Drug Testing

[IMDAZED]

Pacquiao circumvents NSAC rules when he feels like it. So why is he pretending they are the standard when it comes to drug testing?

[kidrak]

Quick question: If Manny feels the blood tests will weaken him if taken to close to the fight. How will the blood tests mandated by the commission not weaken him? I mean I am not saying Manny is juicing but it makes the reasons for him not testing so far seem like lies. I am saying that because Manny didn;t say although I hate blood testing I will take it because the commission says so because I am fighter and in order to fight I have to test. He just saying if the commission says so then no problem. That is weird IMO.

because he experienced it when he lost to morales..

I read this article twice. Can you quote where Ward mentions Mayweather? Much less, "takes his side"?

******* trying to spin it in the other direction now?

[misterced]

that little pinch of blood want weaken him that lil bastard hiding something i never heard of all these excuses

Pacquiao is willing to take the tests if mandated by the NSAC. He has stated as much. It is pretty obvious to any intelligent person, that Pacquiao has a problem with Mayweather calling him a cheater and telling him what to do.

It's funny. All of these PBF fans want to clean up the sport of boxing. How often did Floyd, and all of you fans, cry about olympic style drug testing in his first 40 fights? So what has changed? Did Floyd grow a conscience since his 40th fight? Did he decide to become a better person? I mean, his actions out of the ring certainly do not justify his position in the ring...

Whats funny is how you go from getting KO'd twice, knocked down in the lighter weights by smaller fighters

To beating and destroying way bigger and stronger men at higher weights

As far as the NSAC is concerned. Uh they Suck...............

They did a great job catching Mosley when he fought Oscar the second time didn't they? Yeah the same NSAC that Roach said could never detect HGH in their test.
WOW

Oh, so that's why Freddie lied about the medical records being lost so that they won't test Manny's blood? Or because Manny had to stop using certain enhancers which in turn made him weak for the fight?

Come with it. Inquiring minds want to know.

I agree with ward this is something the commission should implement into the rules. The major difference between Ward and Mayweather is I doubt Ward would demand Froch or any other of his opponents to take the test.

Your response doesn't make any sense. I like Ward. I simply fail to see where Ward takes a side in this article. He states that testing should be mandatory, and regulated by the boxing commission. Pacquiao has said that he would have no problem with testing if mandated by the boxing commission.

So what am I missing? How is Ward "taking Mayweather's side"? I'm guessing that you are too dense to understand this....

Nobody should be against OSDT, NOBODY....And, nobody should hide behind the fact about the commission testing is good enough because it clearly isn't. It has been proven that you can beat the system. You have to be a complete idiot to be caught honestly.

It is great what Ward is saying in theory. But, just because he says he's willing doesn't really mean he will do it or that he's clean or juicing. We honestly don't know. There was once a upon a time where Pac was willing to do it. He even agreed to it and then tried to have a cutoff and know the dates.

And, is not only Pac. This goes for Donaire, Wlad, Ward, Green, Malignaggi and anybody else. Just because you come out saying that you're for it but if you don't go actually go through with it then your words a hallow.

For the record I don't think Ward is juicing but honestly he could very well be doping. I don't know...He did lie about working with Conte. Why lie about that? If there is nothing to hide why lie? He an Allan Green had a press conference saying that they both are willing to take OST. Yet that fight didn't have OST, why not? If both came out and were willing why didn't it get done? Abraham people wanted Ward to take OST. Yet it didn't have OST, why not? Why wasn't AA request granted? Who knows? None of this means Ward is doping.

But, the point is that just because one comes out and says something like this -even though is the right thing to say and is great- it doesn't mean that they're clean. Why use this quote from Ward and shit on Pac is beyond me? Because, so far Pac and Ward are doing the same testing. And, if Ward really feels this way then what is stopping him from going through with it? Why didn't he do it with AA and Green?
