"Welterweight boxers Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez face off on December 8th in Las Vegas to contest their fourth bout against one another. Speculation of steroid abuse has once again hit the table ahead of the fight, only this time it’s not being thrown in Pacman’s direction.
In an interview with USA TODAY this week, Pacquiao’s trainer, Freddie Roach, leveled the accusation against his fighters opponent. In the interview Roach said “If his body is natural, I will kiss his ass”, and later went on to discuss the changes in Marquez’s body.
In that same article, Marquez shrugged off the allegations and discussed the strength and conditioning training he is undergoing with Angel Hernandez. He states that his workouts have changed and become more focused on enhancing both speed and strength at the same time.
Given this, I find it interesting to read that Roach feels there are artificial means to the weight gain and sculpting of Marquez while the same changes his own fighter went through during his meteoric rise through the weight classes was carefully planned diets and workouts.
Is either man doping? I doubt it, but cannot categorically say no."
