Comments Thread For: Testing Still Being Negotiated for Pacquiao-Bradley

[mrpizza-nd_beer]

Don't forget that if it wasn't for Floyd mayweather, no-one would be tested. Give credit where it's due.

I give credit to Donaire and all the other boxers who did real olympic style testing. Floyd's was a chicken move. A fake one, coz he got busted 3x and got away with it. Money talks.

That's only because Marquez was acting like a biatch in regards to OST. He wants USADA, VADA, NSAC as long as Bradley has a rehydration clause.

Bradley uses VADA, Pac used VADA... this negotiation isn't about that, it's the penalty for failing which makes perfect sense.

And what penalty would it be besides a fine? Bradley clearly said that he didn't know who they would be going with. You are choosing to disbelieve his words though.

NSAC's OST/random drug testing was just as good as VADA's. And Marquez went through with it and tested clean. And we didn't see his knockout and knockdown power this time. Bradley also saw for himself that NSAC's program was good.

If it is really about penalties, then NSAC's program would make even more sense than using VADA (who does not recommend or try to enforce sanctions). VADA only give results. NSAC is the one that enforces penalties like suspensions. It would make more sense if they did it.

Juiceman still ducking testing. Hahaha

Who Floyd? Naaa, he just gets failed tests and gets Oscar and Al Gaymon to bury the results.

Bob Arum said it and used it as an excuse to justify the drug test ducking.

So it looks Pacquiao will in fact let the commission do their job.

Presumably, they're talking about the random NSAC testing they used for Bradley-JMM.

Koncz also said it

Random, is year round. Floyd is just making up his own rules. BTW, until Manny does year round, its just as pointless.

Random drug testing is not year-round. Random drug testing is just randomly done within a giving window, whether it's within a week, a few months, or an entire calendar year.

But you can argue that OLYMPIC style testing is really year-round random testing. And you can argue that it's pointless to have it in boxing just for training camp. But I disagree. I think it's effective. It's not the best or most ideal, but it has it's purpose and is DEFINITELY better than doing nothing.

One fight that didn't have random drug testing, we saw a guy almost get murdered by another guy. Next fight, there is random drug testing and suddenly that guy with murdering power doesn't have it anymore. But hey, you can believe it's pointless. I think it's only pointless if the opponent is not undergoing the same thing.

usada protocol is year round. why would they change it?

They didn't change it. They do in-competition testing and out-of-competition testing. It can be one of the two, or BOTH.

I hope Bradley sticks to his guns and gets an independent agency like VADA or USADA to oversee and handle the testing. But he doesn't have much leverage, if Pac and Bob don't want it then it's not happening.

this makes no sense. other than to bring attention to the fight why would Manny not go with VADA testing? HBO and Team Manny have made a huge deal about VADA.

Why is Manny and his team always invlovled in things like this that make him look guilty or su****ious when it isn't necessary?

Thanks for posting that. This is exactly what I was predicting -- NSAC's random drug testing program.
