You ask me to form my own opinion, but the only opinion you seem to have are the excuses we were all fed by Roach and co at the time. Excuses that changed daily, were inconsistent, nonsensical sometimes, and frequently contradicted each other. And why should I provide proof to back up my points when you haven't provided any?
No I do not think the minuscule amount of blood required to be drawn (less than a tablespoon according to USADA website) would have a negative effect on performance. Certainly not from 14 days prior. You could argue I suppose that very close to the fight it may have a physcological effect I suppose. But let's assume good old Pacquiao was telling the truth about all of this all along. He's afraid of needles. Blood taken weakens him. How come then, he's quite happy to have blood taken NOW?? In one of the most important fights of his career?! Wake up FFS. The cut off asked for to try and prevent a positive test, nothing more.
Seriously, if the best you can do as a counter argument is to keep telling me I'm dumb and I'm making myself look ****** then that's very weak and reeks of the kind of ******* logic that has polluted this forum for too long.
