Pacquiao wanted a shot of toradol when he was 100% healthy. 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.”
"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.Comment

Oh ish! I figured he'd wait a bit longer before he told another lie. These people are ****ing pathetic. And folks look at them as the "good guys". Faker than a $3 bill.Comment

Called it.
We all know Pac had no injury because he was swinging that righthand to knock Floyds head off his shouldets. All night long.
Its just shocking to me that USADA would approve a drug to a fighter that would give that fighter some kind of advantage over his opponent.
I said it when I heard about it that Pacquiaos team was trying to pull a fast one and Im glad the NSAC did not fall for it.
Its not looking good for Pacquiao.
On one hand he is looking like a sorry loser who made a ****** excuse that backfired.
On the other he is looking like an attempted cheater and makes you wonder if he pulled the same rabbit out of the hat in other fights.Comment

And people wonder where Malignaggi's dislike stems from, I'm sure Paulie feels like he's the only one exposing Pacquiao for what he is.Comment

But he is the only one "doe", he doesn't conform to the media bandwagon and i feel he has been justified many times already this last few weeks.Comment

Not just that fight imo. I wouldn't be shocked if he's been using this for a while now.Comment
