Why is Team PACQUIAO Concerned About Failed Drug Tests?

[Gino Ros]

Isn't there like a list of things you can and can't use as far as supplements and cold medicines. So how is that stuff even a problem?

Exactly!

Arum said they wanted to have "WADA do the testing". Well, WADA has a clearly established code with a crystal clear list of banned substances.

In fact, the DCO's are available 24 hours a day to answer questions before you take anything. Even OTC's.

[Gino Ros]

It really is a valid point no matter who is saying it...if we are doing much more comprehensive testing for a much more comprehensive list of substances, there would need to be different criteria established for not only what is banned, but how banned is it. Even if a **** like Arum said it, this isn't something to spin negatively it is a valid point.

Sir, there is ALREADY a list of banned substances and "how banned they are".

For example, there are substances that are naturally occuring in the body. Ratios and levels have been set to accommodate 99.999% of athletes. You will find that one super-rare athlete who has a natural hematocrit level of , say, 55. But , of course, that better not be moving around. Right? Because that is your natural level. Right?

That is the BEST part of the drug testing. After one or two tests, they have a "biological profile" of you. A baseline. When things start changing, that is a signal to the testing agency.

Side note: one of the ways that Mosley got busted was because his hematocrit level was elevated.

It's a valid question, from a business standpoint.
This is a 9 figure profit business transaction, will Floyd still fight Pac if he turns out dirty?
All Floyd said is that he wants Manny to take OST... He didn't say what he'll do if he fails.

[madsweeney]

But Pacquiao doesn't smoke pot...right? Or do any banned substances....right?

So that question is like asking about unicorns or leprechauns.

Right?

I don't know, nor do I care...its all legal bs, Arum's jut covering his bases. Do you ever check out what your car insurance covers...does that mean you plan on wrecking your car?

Personally and with all honesty, I'm not sure nor do I openly accuse that Pacquiao is on PEDs but goddamn they're making it hard to believe Pacquiao is clean. I like Pacquiao I think he's a great athlete and his rise has been tremendously entertaining but would I be surprised if Pacquiao is caught using any PED? Absolutely not.

I mean no one in the world has so much pride that they wouldn't agree to a completely random testing procedure that they would jeopardize losing 50 million dollars! It's insane. If you're clean and you know it you take the damn test and beat the crap out of your opponent for trying to make you look bad. You don't try to go around trying to create some loopholes.

What Floyd says is that he wants a "level playing field".

If Pac is dirty, then the fight is postponed until Pac gets clean.

It's not just about knowing or showing...it's about two clean athletes.

Bad analogy. Something may happen to my car that is COMPLETELY out of my control.

Something can't be in your body that is COMPLETELY out of your control, according to the WADA standards.

If Arum is just "covering his bases", and it's a completely innocuous question, then why did all the Pac****** spin out of control when Teddy Atlas and Tim Smith said that Team Pac asked the exact same question that Arum is asking now (again)?

[Code Red]

Very simply Pacquiao uses performance enhancing drugs. This whole ****fest he's put us through for the last year is a disgrace, and even *******s deep in their heart suspect Pacquiao of being a cheat.

The money was good (50/50) the gloves were set (Reyes), the overweight penalty was set, the venue was set (Vegas) Arum, Team Mayweather, Roach, all said the fight was as good as done and only a few minor details needed to be worked out. Pacroid backed out once he realized that he would be either caught using PED's, or be forced to come off them for this fight.

What a joke.

*******s, you're now free to post your sniveling bull**** for the next 10 pages.

They know he's a cheat, they just dont care, its worth it for a victory over Mayweather

[The Big Dunn]

They know he's a cheat, they just dont care, its with it for a victory over Mayweather

I'm beginning to think the something similar Code Red. They hate floyd so much they don't care if Manny is clean or dirty or loads his gloves etc. Just as long as they see floyd get his arrogant a$$ beat.

If floyd didn't go on vacation these clowns would spend $180 a year in hopes they see floyd lose live.

[Alibata]

All I can conclude from the responses to this is that *****s are idiots.

Crack really does make people paranoid... Nothing wrong about what arum said.
