    Look at the USADA website if you care so much. I'm not here to educate you but I will say that Blood tests are more effective than hair and semen tests.

    Again, why be so ignorant?

    You're the one who's demanding that blood testing be an integral component of the testing. The onus isn't on me, it's on you. Third time I'll ask the question: show me how many boxers have been caught via Random Blood tests?

    Blood test are the only way to determine the use of HGH. The NFL is planning on begining Blood tests because on the inability of urine test to catch HGH.

    Why bother? They'll still choose to remain ignorant no matter what new info is given to them.

    Pac doesn't fit the profile of someone who uses hgh. He's essentially the same weight as during his featherweight days. Compare that to guys like Bonds, Mcgwire who had 20-30lb jumps in weight seemingly overnight. And besides, they do have postfight blood tests that Pac has passed everytime.

    What's the difference between steroids and HGH? For starters, we know that a baseball player can beef up on steroids and improve his athletic performance. But most clinical studies suggest that HGH won't help an athlete at all. The other key difference is that while steroids cause a bevy of nasty side effects—testicular shrinkage, an increased risk of stroke—taking HGH doesn't seem to be that bad for you.

    If growth hormone doesn't help, why are athletes breaking league rules to get it? And if it doesn't hurt, why are there league rules against it in the first place? Widespread belief in the efficacy of HGH dates back to a 1990 article in the New England Journal of Medicine. A research team led by Daniel Rudman of the Medical College of Wisconsin gave regular growth hormone injections to a dozen men over the age of 60. At the end of the six-month treatment period, the test subjects had denser bones, thicker skin, less fat, and more lean body tissue. The paper likened these effects to a reversal of "10 to 20 years of aging."

    this exactly...




    random is random...obviously one without the other is less effective. both random are the sure fire cheat popper and what needs to be done. anyone disagreeing is a ******* that doesn't give a **** about the sport.

    My point is, if Pac were to use PEDs it's likely not going to be hgh...becuase he doesn't fit the profile of an hgh abuser. HGH is nmore likely to be used by guys who wants to gain muscle mass in a quickness. Powerhitters ion baseball...or middle linebackers in the nfl. Pac is not known for his strength....and muscle mass actually slows you down because of the weight accumulated. Pacquiao has essentially been the same weight as in his superfeather days. So if Pac was to be suspected of peds, it would be more than likely epo...because there you can make an argument. Pac is known to have boundless stamina...and thats what epo does, highly oxygenate your blood and thus giving you more stamina. It's like bypassing 4 weeks of altitude training in ped form.
