Comments Thread For: Pacquiao-Thurman Event To Now Carry True Random Drug Testing

[Eff Pandas]

Funny that, now there’s less than a month before the fight and Pac will have finished his cycle. Does anyone believe he's getting tested in the Philippines under whatever provisions the WBA had prior to the more stringest test?

Agree. This is a whatever-ish move.

And from the sounds of these WBC & WBA testing programs it sounds like they are testing a tiny portion of the fighters & its obviously not like a OST agreement prior to a big fight happening like this one. The WBC & WBA programs might test you once a year. And thats MIGHT not that they will. I'd bet anything there are plenty of guys who've been tested one or never been tested by the WBC program & thats the one thats been around awhile. A fighter OST agreement insures both fighters get multiple tests via multiple means over a period of several weeks to confirm you to be clean.

This sounds like a PR move. Any testing in such a short window is of less benefit to catch people cheating.

Who says the testing only started now? According to boxingscene here they have been testing all along. They aren’t using wbc’s(although pacquiao apparently is in the cbp) or wba testing. They are being randomly tested by the nsac. Nevada said no to organizations like vada/usada(pedto) because they don’t know who is being tested and who isn’t. They think it’s fairer for the fighters if the commission does it themselves. It’s the same testing they did for bradley vs marquez and pacquiao bradley ii.

Ofcourse you get tested much less on the cbp than regular vada which is a voluntary program with the fighter basically asking for a focused program. The cbp has many more fighters to track, and it’s not so much the quantity of tests, it’s the threat.

VADA testing ruined enough fights before hand, tbh...

I don't get it. Pacman have already been accused using peds for a decade right now. But this intellectual theorist can't even present their proof and wanted to convince everyone about their "**** TUAL" knowledge. Lots of these kids doesn't know how to appreciate boxing.

I didn't give a f#ck about testing for this fight first off. If the fighters were cool I was cool.

But it sounds like you don't know how PEDs work to me. Mfers aren't likely to be using PEDs so close to a fight. This is a PR move not a clean fighters move. Anyone who knows anything about using PEDs for benefits in a fight know this.

And theres names on twitter calling this exactly what it is too.

If you are doing PED testing you wanna start it the day the fight is signed. Not 3 weeks before the fight.

Sure, but this is fooling no one who knows about PED sh^t. Casuals might not know better, but I doubt causals care in the first place. But than again with Western having his opinion maybe some hardcore fans don't understand this move is a bs move.

you understand that manny has always been training in the philipines for the first half of training then he comes to the US to finish off camp right? the other guy that you quoted said he's sure nobody is going to go to the philipines to test manny and you agreed with him. that's a load of crap bruh. it's kinda embarrassing to see this coming from you.
