Comments Thread For: Pacquiao, Top Rank, Koncz Sued Over Shoulder Injury

[waiseguy510]

Actually, he did NOT reveal to USADA that he had an injury:

To make matters worse, Pacquiao and his promoter, Top Rank, released a statement Monday that said his advisers notified the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency — which oversaw drug testing for the fight — of Pacquiao's right shoulder injury well before the May 2 bout "during training." The statement also said USADA "confirmed in writing that the proposed treatments, if used, were completely allowed."

Sources told The News, however, that Pacquiao's camp never informed USADA of the boxer's shoulder injury, and that the two calls his camp made to USADA prior to the fight were inquiries into whether certain substances Pacquiao was considering using were prohibited or not.

Pacquiao's statement also said that the medication “approved for fight night was a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (Toradol).” Aguilar said Pacquiao's team made a request hours before the fight for a lidocaine shot and anti-inflammatories.

“We go through the weigh-in (May 1), we get to the fight, a little after 6 p.m. (local time), we were made aware Pacquiao potentially had a shoulder injury. Then after we were made aware about the injury, a request came to inject his shoulder with lidocaine and a couple anti-inflammatories,” said Aguilar. “We gathered our doctor, Dr. (Timothy) Trainor, who works with the commission evaluating some of these medical concerns, we got with (Pacquiao's) two doctors that did his medical exam prior to weigh-in, and we started going through some of these questions as to what does this mean.

“We got our grounding to what the issue was. It's 6, the fight is supposed to start at 8, you've got to be very conscious about the time and the athlete's health.”

Aguilar said the commission refused the shot because it was too close to fight time and “you want the fighter to be in a natural state. You don't want them to be masking the pain. If they're masking the pain, they are potentially going to have some long-term damage that they may not have had had they not taken the drug.”

According to Travis Tygart, the CEO of USADA, Pacquiao’s camp let the boxer down big time by failing to disclose the boxer's shoulder injury.

“If you're a caring person and Manny actually had an injury, while it has nothing to do with anti-doping, his camp let him down by inaccurately filling out the paperwork for the Nevada Commission in violation of its rules,” said Tygart. “He didn't get the medication that he otherwise could have used. You feel sorry that his team let him down the way that they did. His team either committed an egregious mistake, or their gamesmanship by not disclosing something that could give the opponent a tactical advantage — a shoulder injury — came back to bite them.

“Or they were worried the fight was going to get cancelled because of the injury, and they weren't going to get paid. These guys know better.”

Pac fans will not be able to change history again! This is BULL****!!!

I wonder who from Team Pacman will crack first? If this goes to court (Or any of the other lawsuits), they're gonna start playing the blame game.

What tards wanted is what ruined Manny. His aura is gone, he's gonna lose a year of his career after the surgery, he's gonna lose out on some of his payday...

Lawyer up, new lawsuits will start pouring in by the day.

He'd be lucky if Floyd offers him $40 million + 35% of the PPV's if there's a rematch.

"He's going to fight me? He's going to fight me?"

Manny smiled tru-out the whole thing
Even thank Floyd in the weigh in
Now all these cheap excuses and accusations, like Koncz really f/uped the paperwork.

Pac has hit an all time low. This is worst than when he refused to get tested when they first time they were negotiating a Floyd fight

When it rains, it pours, the only thing left is to get sent to Guantanamo.

lol can ya'll really be shocked at this? people have been hearing the words "richest fight ever" for about 6 years. you really thought floyd and pac where gonna get to ride off into the sunset? you really didnt think people where gonna be licking their chops to get a piece of that, especially after how it went down? cmon son. Even floyds baby moms is suing and quite honestly i wouldn't be the least bit surprised to hear other wolves coming out of the wood works to get their hands on the "richest fight ever"

I wonder if they should have opened their mouth at all,looking for excuses because PAC's pride was wounded. But keep in mind, "pride cometh before the fall" Solomon from the Bible. Even the one that PAC reads.

Pacqiuao should be made to reimburse anybody who can produce a losing ticket betting on him to win.

[DeanR415]

I wonder if anyone with inside information on Pacquiao's injury bet on Floyd and made any money.

[DeanR415]

Pacquiao will regret disclosing this injury at all. Nobody wants to hear excuses anyway. After I paid to eat the meal, I don't want to hear why you couldn't cook it right.
