Comments Thread For: Arum: Pacquiao Will Take The Tests, Not With USADA

[Vasyl’s dad]

floyd has manny connection in USADA as he was able to manipulate his testing against Mosley by ending the testing too earlier, on the 19th day out....so what happened from the 18th leading to the fight...nobody knows...since floyd has connection inside the USADA, he might instruct his insider to exchange his roided blood with PACMAN....just a possibilities...Floyd is an american and USADA might lean on him by planning a bad plan...so WADA a neutral agency is preferred to remove all this doubt out....

[Floyd]But Manny has no right to dictate who takes the tests! He has no right to be su****ious of the guy who is su****ious of him! Floyd is an american and we need to trust whoever he hires to do testing for his fights only![/stan]

This.

Why is it so hard for people to understand that?

Why would Manny agree to be tested by an agency hired by his american opponent who has accused him of cheating?

Its not as if the USADA is doing testing in other fights. They're only doing it for Floyds fights. I'd be skeptical too and also ask for a third party.


Why are Floyd stans so against actual testing done by an actual Olympic agency?

Answer, because they're also against actual random testing.

They support the random "style", which isn't really random at all,

but have huge problems with year round testing. Not a secret why.

Floyd juices on vacations and retirements.

Werd... I would be su****ious too and request for another organization..

The Nevada commission with WADA/IOC overseeing the testing regime. Makes perfect sense since they are the ones who sanction fights and have the authority to ban/punish/etc fighters if they fail a test. What the hell can USADA do to a fighter who failed a test? This was Arum's point.

USADA has no jurisdiction in Pro Boxing, if a pro boxer fails are they going to ban them from Olympic competition? They can't do ****. Nevada can because they have actual authority whereas USADA just handles testing for the Floyd Mayweather Boxing Association and has no power or authority.

you really would pick an organization who never done something like this to be in charge or are you just saying that because it's Arums position as of right now

OK.. So now you have three organizations who have NEVER run a testing regimen performing the tests.

You realize that neither NSAC, nor WADA, nor IOC have EVER run a testing program.... right?

USADA can't "punish" a boxer. You're right. But you can write any clause you want into the contract. the way that Mayweather and Mosley did. If someone tested positive, the fight would be canceled. And the results would be publicized.

Did you really think Manny was connected to steroids prior to 2009, or are you just saying it now because its been Floyds position since 2009?

[flint]

this is good news going forward. now all pacquaio has to do is quit being butt hurt and drop the lawsuit. there's no way this fight happens with a pending lawsuit. mayweather maybe a jackass outside the ring but he's no business dummy. its common sense.

First users argue about tests no tests, who is ducking who and now you will argue about who does the testing. No wonder I go to the lounge more and more. Just make the damn thing happen end of story.

100% right....

[Gino Ros]

"Hey, let's not use the Organization that has administered and conducted over 70,000 tests without a problem. Let's get some organization that has NEVER done it. Or let's use someone who isn't licensed to do business in the U.S."

Do you think Manny has the right to request a third party testing agency or not?


Not one hired by Floyd and that has only done Floyd fights, but an agency that has no ties to either fighter.


Is that a fair request by Pac?
