I know nothing about Toradol, never heard of it before.
Luckily, I dont need to.
And luckily, this issue proves the benefits of additional independant testing.
Luckily, the agency who is contracted for the fight can advise Manny on what is acceptable/unacceptable..... just like they did for Mayweather.

The latest salvo in the “Questionable Performance Enhancing Drug” storyline in today’s professional baseball landscape was this interesting statement from Jonathan Papelbon last week; he and other Boston teammates frequently were injected with the drug Toradol by team doctors when they were feeling “run-down” or overly fatigued in order to get a quick pick-me-up for a game. Apparently Toradol had the effect of giving players a four hour window of feeling “pretty damn good” and it was used by a portion of the Boston clubhouse. Its also in use in many other clubhouses (though apparently not in Philadelphia, who told Papelbon his Toradol days were over).
Ok, how is Toradol not a Performance Enhancing Drug? It certainly seems to qualify based on WADA’s “Three Criteria” for PEDs:
1.The capacity to enhance performance (clearly, as discussed by Papelbon)
2.Use can result in negative health consequences (absolutely; Jon Lester suffered some of them and had a serious internal bleeding issue, and now Boston is reportedly reviewing its use of the drug)
3.Violate the spirit of sports. (opinion based .. but after reading what Toradol can do, how can you NOT argue that its use violates the “spirit of sports?”)
In an intriguing feature included in tonight’s new Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel (HBO, 10
o p.m. ET/PT), Andrea Kremer explores the NFL’s “magic potion” that “masks pain from head to toe.”
The wonder drug goes by the name of Toradol. It’s not a narcotic, it’s not addictive, it’s legal to use.
And plenty of players are using it.
Former NFL center Jeremy Newberry tells Kremer that, when he played for the 49ers, players lined up for a dose of Toradol before games. “I’ve seen lines of 20 or 30 of them standing there waiting for a shot,” Newberry.
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."
Several hours later, after making seven catches for 109 yards, including a 9-yard touchdown grab, Holt was also a Super Bowl champion with the Rams edging the Titans 23-16.
Everything about the day felt great. Until the Toradol faded.
"It was very, very, very painful once that medication wore off," Holt said. "When you get that Toradol shot, you feel like you have a whole new body on you.Comment

Toradol is clearly suspect.
But I am still going to ride with the professionals.
I'm just a fan, I know nothing about all that stuff.
If USADA/WADA allow Toradol, then I'm fine with it.
A level playing field is what we need, so long as they are consistant.Comment

Me neither but this drug is clearly suspect the evidence is all over the internet about what it does and how its been abused in sport , and it fills in all the gaps as to why Manny refused blood testing in 2010 .
Every drug was allowed until they found out that it is abused , there are moves in sport to have this drug placed on the WADA banned substance list .
But I also agree with you if it was legal when Manny used it thats just how it is , is it ethical thats another story , the point is if USADA and WADA cleared it , they also cleared Floyd so how can these fanboys try and hang one and not the other .Comment
