    k

    Blood testing after the fight means absolutely nothing. I'm not going to explain why. I've been doing that **** for 3 years. I'm not going back and forth with people that need basic information explained to them. It's tiresome.

    What's wrong with drug testing? Is that really so ludicrous of an idea?

    You guys kill me.

    No it doesn't.

    If Pac can get a cut off of 14 days, then he can use a masking agent at the 14 day mark, give the samples 2 weeks later after the fight and nothing would show.

    Yes, it does. Among the many things Pac's been accused of using are blood boosters.

    Wonderful. He can still mask it within the 2 week period making the tests after the fight irrelevant unless he does the full random testing throughout camp.

    No. The point would be having elevated ratio of red blood cells to increase endurance during the later rounds of a fight.

    Here is a snippet of an email from Victor Conte to maxboxing:
    "In my opinion, blood testing for the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight is more important for detecting possible blood doping or use of EPO than it is for human growth hormone. Measuring hematocrit levels (percentage of red blood cells to total whole blood volume) is very important. For example, even without a positive urine test for EPO, cyclist are temporarily suspended for two weeks if their hematocrit is greater than 50%. An elevated hematocrit can provide a significant advantage to a fighter by enhancing oxygen uptake and utilization. This would benefit a fighter in training and especially during the later rounds of a fight."

    Do I think Pacquiao should take the full Olympic style blood testing? Of course. But the issue we're discussing here is whether or not a blood test right after the fight is worthless. Clearly it's not. It would go a long way toward showing that Pacquiao wasn't using blood boosters. (Could Pacquio be using other **** that would clear out of his system in time? Sure.)
