  • Comments Thread For: PEDs: When The Lawsuits Come

    By Thomas Hauser - On December 8, 2012, Manny Pacquiao fought Juan Manuel Marquez at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. It was the fourth time that the two men had met in the ring. In thirty-six previous rounds, Marquez had been unable to knock Pacquiao down.

    Marquez had a new look when he faced Pacquiao in their fourth encounter. Having trained under the supervision of Angel “Memo” Heredia (a/k/a Angel Hernandez), Juan Manuel was sporting a dramatically altered physique. To some, even his head seemed differently shaped.

    Heredia’s resume includes a stint as a steroid dealer who cooperated with prosecutors after being ensnared in the BALCO drug scandal.

    In round six, Marquez knocked Pacquiao unconscious with one punch. The image of Manny pitching forward and lying face-down on the canvas lingers in the mind. He lay there for a long time.

    The floodgates are open now. Whether or not Marquez used illegal PEDs, a lot of fighters think that he did. And they’ll use them to further their own ring aspirations.

    Pacquiao, like Marquez, has been suspected of PED use in the past and scored his share of brutal knockouts. Neither man has ever tested positive for illegal performance enhancing drugs. But it’s a matter of record that elite fighters like Fernando Vargas, James Toney, Antonio Tarver, Andre Berto, and Lamont Peterson have. Shane Mosley never tested positive, but his name surfaced in the BALCO investigation and he ultimately admitted using PEDs. Other fighters like Evander Holyfield, Jameel McCline, and Yuriorkis Gamboa have been linked to PED use by clinic records. [Click Here To Read More]

    Marquez never used roids, He just trained even harder and built muscle so he could take matters into his own hands and so that the judges can't rob him.

          Beautifully written article!! Honestly for the past few years i've felt the government should've stepped into the boxing game to regulate it. I have a background in Cycling which isn't a high paying career for most but if boxers are anything like cyclists then rampant use is very accurate...and it won't cost you much at all...at first. Any sport that allows testing to be negotiated, any sport that allows promoters to decide what drugs get tested for exclusively...I can't call a clean sport. I will say that some of these guys probably don't even know they have shhh in their systems in a few cases...if you are an athlete and some nutritionist wants to put you on "ANY" supplement pay the few hundred bucks and send it to a lab first.

              Exactly, that argument could easily be switched around. I don't care if he would have cited Marquez' physique, but to act like that punch, added with Pacquiao's momentum runnin' in...isn't gonna likely get those results is straight bullshit.

                Xylocaine is only legal in vegas .
                A certain fighter uses xylocaine very often.

                  Marquez was on and is on steriods..if you look at the pic boxingscene posted of him getting ripped for Bradley..Marquez had a bloated gut that looked like he's been drinking 6 packs of beer for years but still had a 8pack of abbs..that's called a steroid gut

                    Both fighter was clean after the fight. The commission did their job and tested both. Where was all this up roar when Floyd wanted Manny to get tested? Remember when Manny was moving up beating up bigger guys with ease? Wasn't that a red flag? Nobody cared only until dude got his wig knocked off. Marquez only needed to time Manny and put everything into his punch. He fought Pacquiao 3 times prior. Marquez already KO'd some tough bearded fighters in his career already. He has more KO's than Pacquiao. Article is BULL$#!t. Remember when Ariza said Manny doesn't know what's in his shakes? What about all of the excuses to avoid taking the tests in the first place? Manny and his b!tch @ss fans.
