Pacquiao wanted a shot of toradol when he was 100% healthy and cleared of any injury by two doctors before the fight. Think about that. I know this drug is not banned but that doesn't make it ok, especially not for boxing. Toradol masks pain, you literally feel indestructible for a few hours.
"Toradol is a wonder drug," says former All-Pro safety Darren Sharper, who retired last year after 14 NFL seasons. "You get a shot in the butt, and within 10 minutes nothing hurts. And that feeling lasts the entire day."
Former NFL center Jeremy Newberry said he would sometimes see 20 or 30 players lined up before a game to get a shot of the drug.
Newberry said Toradol "makes you feel like Superman for three hours," but the 35-year-old now is suffering from Stage 3 kidney failure that doctors attribute to Toradol.
Former NFL quarterback Chris Simms;[it's] basically a super strong pain killer that makes your body numb. You could go run through the wall and you wouldn't really know it until two or three days later.
Former NFL star Torry Holt said he only took Toradol a handful of times throughout his 12-season NFL career. His first use came on the afternoon of the Super Bowl in 2000.
Holt was a rookie with the Rams and had separated the acromioclavicular (AC) joint in his right shoulder during St. Louis' NFC Championship Game win. It was the kind of injury, coupled with bruised ribs, that caused pain so severe that Holt admitted he would have considered sitting out several regular-season games.
But the Super Bowl? With little hesitance, Holt asked for and received a Toradol shot.
"I felt like new money," Holt said. "You get that shot and you feel like you're 18, 19 years old. It's like a sheet of armor. I was a new man."
Holt also said "When you get that Toradol shot, you feel like you have a whole new body on you."
"If we had wanted to, we could have done the injection at the hotel before the fight and nobody would have known" - Michael Koncz
He says this so casually as if they've done it before.

Imagine going into a fight 100% healthy (according to Arum and two doctors) and receiving a shot that makes you feel indestructible. Isn't this ...cheating... If I'm a former Pacquiao opponent I'm alarmed right now. I wonder why Thomas Hauser hasn't written an article about this.
