Pacquiao's illegal toradol shot: prefight ritual or one time thing?

[Combat Talk Radio]

You fanboys really need to stop. The Mayweather Pacquiao rivalry should have ended in 2015.

You knew full well that the moment Floyd was unanimously named Fighter of the Decade that it would come up again. You knew that

He asked and it was denied. That’s not cheating.

Cheating would be doing it without asking permission.

you still don't get it. there was no injury. If the commission had approved it, and Pacquiao was approved, how is it not cheating? If NFL players would take to numb pain, is that not performance enhancing?

You talking about the one that got denied while the other guy had needles in his arm?

[ShaneMosleySr]

He asked permission. He was told he couldn’t do it so he didn’t.

That’s the definition of following the rules.

If the commission had approved it and he did it, it still wouldn’t be cheating because it was approved.

Depends what you think cheating is / Id say it will be on the ban list soon enough, so I guess a PED not yet listed is ok because they havent listed it yet.

Manny used this for years !

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. Another NFL source said that figure was exaggerated.

Newberry said Toradol "makes you feel like Superman for three hours,"

I’ve never heard someone claim that asking permission to do something is cheating.

Then why did Arum throw a fit as well as Max Kellerman that they weren't allowed to use Toradol if in theory they respected the rules?

You can disagree with the rules and follow them.

He never asked before and only did here because there was no way around it if he wanted to use it again, if he just used it like always he would have been caught out through the testing.

Why did he need to ask if it was legal to use, and why was he refused if its legal ?

[ShaneMosleySr]

Did Manny Pacquiao ever fail a drug test?

Because if it’s a banned substance and he used it without a TUE, I would have expected him to fail a drug test.
