MANILA -- No less than the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC), which is the preeminent state sports body in the US, has cleared Manny Pacquiao of steroids claims made by controversial boxing trainer Floyd Mayweather, Sr. “All I can tell you is that Pacquiao, every time he's fought here [in Nevada, has] been tested, as well as his opponents,” said NSAC executive director Keith Kaiser.

“He passed every drug test we did to him, every steroid test we did to him,” he added to counter allegations made by Mayweather Sr. that Pacquiao was into performance enhancement drugs.
Mayweather Sr. is the father of former world champion Floyd Jr., whom Pacquiao succeeded as the world’s top pound-for-pound fighter.
According to Wikipedia, the NSAC is regarded as the preeminent state athletic commission in the US because of Nevada's role as a center for combat sports. The commission regulates all boxing matches in the state of Nevada and has the final authority on licensing matters, having the ability to approve, deny, revoke, or suspend all licenses for boxing bouts.
Kaiser stressed that the NSAC conducts stringent drug tests on boxers before allowing them to fight within the jurisdiction of Nevada.
“[On] title fights [we have] tests for steroids and drug abuse. [We look out for] marijuana, cocaine,” said Kaiser. “We collect urine [for tests] before and after the fight.”

Still at it

Mayweather Sr., meanwhile, insisted that Pacquiao used “some sort of supplements” which is why he was able to maintain his punching power despite climbing several weight divisions.
“He's never been that kind of puncher and all of a sudden he's a gigantic puncher,” said Mayweather Sr.
Pacquiao, who first became a world champion as a flyweight, climbed the welterweight division and defeated Oscar de la Hoya in eight rounds. He also stopped Ricky Hatton, a natural junior welterweight, in two rounds.
“I felt that he was on steroids or some type of supplements or some type of enhancement drugs… believe me when I tell you, he's going to get caught,” said the controversial boxing trainer.

‘Liable for slander’

Pacquiao’s coach, Freddie roach, said a slander case s already in the works against Mayweather Sr.
"I am going to talk to my lawyer, there could be a slander case here, and we will sue him,” Roach told Brad Cooney of 8CountNews and Examiner.com.
The Hall-of-Fame coach said Pacquiao agrees with him that Floyd Jr.’s father should be held liable for his comments.
“I talked to Manny, and I talked to an attorney, and we are all on board here. This is all over the place now that Manny is on steroids, it's defaming his name," said Roach.
The Filipino boxer earlier said that he has also sought legal advice on Mayweather Sr.’s comments.
“Kinonsulta ko ang abugado ko para suriin [ang sinabi ni Mayweather Sr.] at kung lumabag siya ay kelangan niyang panagutan,” he said.
Pacquiao said he never considered using steroids and has consistently passed medical test for his fights in the Philippines and abroad.
“Lahat ng laban ko, lahat ng medical ko wala namang problema, pero itong si Floyd Mayweather [Sr.] parang may diperensya doon sa mga sinasabi niya,” said the boxer.

Haters needs to find excuses

[eze]

Did anyone even wonder if he was on roids?

Emo status.

[fatdrunkenslob]

Yeah, but they also cleared Margarito of any wrongdoing vs. Cotto. Maybe Margo and his lawyers should start legal proceedings against anyone even hinting that he loaded his gloves vs. Cotto.

I think he was at one TIME

[DLSC]

MP never tested positive for any illegal substances before and after any of his fights. Anything else is pure speculation.

Clown Mayweather Sr is sourgraphing.

I don't know. Since some on here are more inclined to believe Richard Schaefer over the Nevada State Athletic Commission in it's claims regarding the contract situation...

[Vitor Belfort]

No surprise here..pacman is a beast and don't need no stinking steroids floyd sr is just mad cuz he look like a dumbass for talking shit about pacquiao before the hatton fight.

I'm glad Nevada's commission cleared Manny even though only idiots and haters took Floyd senor seriously.. Floyd had no evidence, just that Manny couldn't have come up so much weight and kept his power... Floyds a old crackhead, humorous, but not to be taken seriously

It's just politics man (if you've been attention to the health care fiasco). If you go to bed with lies out there, they're going to be truth when you wake up.

I'm not surprised he was cleared. I'm not surprised too that mayweather sr is eating his crow NOW! 2X's in a row he made a mistake.

First, he thought hatton will just bull doze his way to PAC - WRONG
second, he was insinuating that pac used steroids - WRONG AGAIN!
If pbf LOSES to JMM, fuck Mayweather senior - WRONG AGAIN FOR THE 3RD time

They need to find more excuses at least try to make a legit one.
