Did Freddy Roach just tell on his fighter?

In my opinion it's not Rios fault he tested dirty, it was his coach's fault Robert Garcia. Robert Garcia is already prepared for back lash obviously as he had Ariza in the corner of Marcos that night he fought Broner. Ariza was shown to be doing some weird things, I assume smelling salts which are illegal. It just amazes me how dirty boxing is that, they willingly and knowingly can cheat in people's faces.

there's already an HD video that shows there was nothing in ariza's napkin......

All this time of denial and now roach lets the secret out.

Not really... He's only saying what we knew for so many years anyway.

There's only a certain "group" of people with several accounts each on boxingscene that disagreed with what Roach has already verified for so many years.

Are people really pretending they don't remember this exact statement being made before, how no one but Ariza knew what was in the shakes he gave Pac?

[The_Sandman]

I remember an old interview (around the Cotto fight I believe) with Floyd and Floyd said something like "I hear Pac's camp isn't doing too good. Roach and Ariza are bumpin heads. Soon they're going to start snitchin on each other like yeah Manny took peds, he did this, he did that."

Pretty accurate.

This is true, I definitely remember that statement.

Difference is now Roach is using the "Special Shakes" comment in comparison to Rios popping positive as if he's implying that Pac was also on something like Rios was and like Maidana possibly was against Broner.

Dude extrapolate this out because it isn't just boxing, think about sports in general and the need to win at all costs. The juice doesn't give an athlete the win outright because after all there are other intangibles that make champions and winners. But the juice gives an edge, even if its comparatively small, still an edge.

People cheat because they want to win really badly, and I think we as fans understand that so I don't get why all the outrage when something comes to light we all knew existed all along?

You're late. He's been doing this for years even talking about handicapping mannys opponents but people just choose to over look it

I think people did what they usually do when it comes to their heroes, they looked the other way and hoped what they were hearing wasn't true. Floyd's so easy to hate and easier to dismiss as a result. So when he was shouting this stuff from the rooftops he looked like he was making excuses, when in actuality what I think he was trying to do was deflate the hype of the Pacquiao phenomenon.
