Will Pacquiao ever test under USADA or VADA?

Donaire might be some sort of "out" for people , but remember his stance when he had everything to lose against Rigondeaux. No test for BOTH fighters, no fight. At the top of the sport, ALL participants in big matches should set the example. You should be prepared to give your opponent the peace of mind you seek. Simple as, really.
So far Pacquiao has only ever paid lip service to more stringent testing. Thread simply asks if he will continue to do so. Opinions on that............Comment

I don't think its weird at all.Surely it makes you a more legitimate fighter, and makes you win more legitimate, as well as setting an example to the fighter you are facing. I think it's pretty weird to argue taking the test serves no purpose, on your own or not. It's a benefit to prove to your fans you have nothing to hide. It isn't going to make a difference to the way you fight.
You think Donaire's campaign on this matter serves no purpose? Sometimes everything isn't about yourself, and it makes me worry when people can't see anything different.
Especially when the fans don't decide a thing other than whether they will pay for tickets and/or PPV.
Donaire campaign has nothing to do with anything other than the fact that Mr BALCO himself, Victor Conte, is his nutritionist.
The entire purpose of testing was to present an equal playing field. When only one fighter takes the tests, it does nothing but waste money.
Its not about reputation. That's where you got off track from the beginning. Its about a fair playing field. One has nothing to do with the other unless you are a public relations agent or a journalist.Comment

If Manny has a problem with using USADA then ok, that is perfectly fine. I don't get why he would but let's let him slide on that one.
Why won't he use VADA though?Comment

angel heredia did say that any fighter working with him must submit to all year round testing...so much for that. but marquez should just do all year round testing like donaire is doing to show that what he and heredia are doing is clean...Last edited by Bermuda; 04-17-2013, 08:29 PM.Comment
