Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao Skips Sparring After More PED Testing

[SplitSecond]

he shouldn't skip training days, isn't roach already forcing days off on him?

They had already planned out a light camp for Manny, and now they're cutting additional running and sparring out of their plan? Yeah, you should be more worried about what's right in front of you than what Roach or Arum have to say about Floyd's camp.

Poor Pacquiao. Four vials of blood taken during training. Just thinking about it makes me quiver.

The Pac worshippers have another excuse for Pacquaio's loss. He missed a crucial day of sparring due to the blood tests.

he could of trained before giving blood he didn't want to and roach decided since he's ahead in camp to just do some running and no sparring

that's not the point floydiot worshiper. if they have to take that much blood from one camp, then do the same with the other camp. so far, there's no evidence your hero is even getting tested.

you should be ashamed of yourselves, effing bullies.

Also I heard USADA took 4 vials of blood from Manny yesterday and he ended up taking the day off again from sparring because of it. Any truth to this and if so, is 4 vials the norm for random testing??

I'm not sure how much blood they took but it is true that he did not spar yesterday because of the testing. But I spoke to Freddie just after they took Manny's samples and he said it was no big deal because he feels Manny is already ahead of schedule anyway.

So the testing did affect planned training for the day. Not good.

Dan didn't write that. No one wrote that. You are making it up.

Big D doesn't even read what he posts!

and what evidence is there of manny getting tested besides someone in his camp saying it and the vials aren't that big idiot they draw blood one time they don't poke you 4 different times

I don't think bllod should be taken from either fighter 7 days before the fight until right after.
Like it or not, some people actually do get weak and bruise from needles and blood drawing. We don't need any excuses whatsoever from either camp.
Take it up until the 7 day mark, let the fight happen, then draw blood right after for the post fight test.

He didn't test for Bradley 2 either but Bradley did. I mean WTF???

another dumb floyd fan. bradley voluntarily enrolled himself to VADA testing even in his prior fights. both pac and bradley did NSAC/WADA testing.

"Just to clear things up, Manny didn't care what testing we were doing. He was willing to do VADA or WADA, so there was no argument as far as the testing goes," said Bradley.

"I just chose to do the VADA testing to stick by what I have tried to and set out to do, and that's to clean up the sport and make sure that a lot of these guys are getting tested."

Under the NSAC testing, which Marquez participated in as well, Bradley and Pacquiao will endure unannounced tests up to and including the day of their clash, which is a rematch of Bradley's split-decision over Pacquiao in June 2012.

"The NSAC decided they didn't want to do VADA representing us. They wanted to do the same that we did in the Marquez fight, WADA [World Anti-Doping Agency] which was very successful in that fight," said Bradley.

"So they wanted to stick with it and not mess around with VADA. I am doing double-testing just to prove to everybody that I am a clean fighter and am willing to do whatever with hard work and dedication, which is how I got to this position."
