    This has probably been mentioned already but I just thought of it...Has there been Olympic drug testing taking place for Mayweather-Ortiz? There hasn't been any mention of it on HBO 24/7 or any Boxing website or publication.

    If not, it's sort of hypocritical for Floyd not to demand it for this fight. Mayweather has gone on a crusade over this issue and has said numerous times, every fighter he faces most complete full blood testing to ensure both fighters are clean.

    This is the main issue apparently holding up the Mayweather-Pacquiao superfight and it's interesting if he would bend his rule for Ortiz, not Pacquiao.

    USADA can't or won't test them this close to the fight, their arm could get infected and the fight could be scrap. Only urine testing right now, blood will be after the fight.

    Yes

    They did mention it once I am 80% sure (can't remember if it was episode 1 or 2).

    But yes, it's been well known they are doing the testing.

    I'm just going by what the NSAC told Floyd when they did their test and finding. The Doctors told NSAC that an arm infection can occur if blood is drawn that close to a fight and a fight could be scrap. NASC said it was to risky and they told Floyd to FOff on the testing. I'm sure NSAC probably told USADA they will not approve of any testing within two weeks prior to fight night. That's why there was no testing 18 days prior to the fight on May vs Mos.

    Than what is Pacquiao woried about? While random means random, and the poisibillity is there that the night before the fight he might get the knock on the door. Why not just agree knowing that it probbly is not going to happen?
    With little to no risk of being tested so close to the fight a Pacquiao sticking point. There is no reason for Pacquiao not to agree to random testing.

    According to Arum, the USADA might frame Pac, as they are an American organization. :lol:
