Khan "Pacquiao should just take the test".
******.com: Do you believe that Pacquiao should follow your lead and be randomly tested?
Amir Khan : That's up to every individual fighter, to be honest with you. But, I really think that all fighters should take it. Let's clean the sport up.
But the reason that I'm doing it is because I've always and already have been through this drug testing regime due to the Olympic games and everything.
So for me, it's normal to go into a drug testing situation and give a blood sample or a urine sample. I was in the Olympic games in 2004, so since then, I've been randomly drug tested.
For all those people who have pointed fingers, at least they won't be able to point fingers at me after that, because they know that I've been Olympic drug tested and if you're tested, they'll know that you have been too.
******.com: Am I to understand, as Ariza says, that you are tested randomly on a regular basis in England?
AK: I get tested in England even at my home. They can just come and knock on my door. Also, I was in Los Angeles one time, and the British Boxing Board, two or three times, they sent a boxing people from America to test me.
So I've already been drug tested randomly, and I mean, I've been out at night with friends, and then, the next day, I'll come home and they've come and drug tested me. I've never failed a drug test, and I've never refused one.
******.com: So that's been a misconception?
AK: Yeah. And people point fingers at Alex Ariza and they say this and that. But, I mean, look at it this way. I'm probably one of the first fighters in our camp and in his stable to say, "look, I want to do random drug testing."
For Olympic style as well. And not just the piss test, but also, I want to do full Olympic style so that people stop pointing the fingers.
