    Exactly!

    Roach says and does a lot of things leading up to a Pac fight. In this case Roach has no say. If Pac agreed to the terms, which Pac has already consulted his legal team and fitness team on before agreeing, then he has to take the test. If not the contract is voided. Pac and team agreed to the terms with no problem. Roach is just pissed that they are making his guy bow down to an accusation from a low life in Mayweather Sr.

    ,

    Roach and Arum has requested fighters to do stuff that is not the norm. When Floyd fought Oscar, and Pac and Cotto. It is called negotiating.

    If they agree to the test and one don't take it I'll call it like I see. That person would be hidding something and more then likely on something.

    Do I see the drug test as a ridiculas stipulation, yes. But since both agreed to it then it is a non issue to me.

    Your subject and poll question are different. If somebody was not careful they could have voted incorrectly.

    Subject: Do you think that Pacquiao is taking ILLEGAL performance enhancing drugs?

    Poll Question: Do you think that Pac is taking performance enhancing drugs?

    Just pointing something, no big deal.

    not talking bout promoters here...and negotiating catchweights, gloves sizes, etc is not out of the ordinary.. blood test IS.

    If that quote is true it does look odd...however it could be a ploy to sell tickets by causing a controversy only to have Pac pass with flying colors.

    Personally I dont think Pac is on the juice.

    Really ?!?!? Is that why Mosley was able to pass urine test with out detection??

    Boxing is behind the times when comes to testing for designer performance enhancers.

    how does olympic style testing works? can the floyd fans explain this in detail and how is it more suitable than the current system? how many time do they take blood out of you and how much and the time intervals?

    1. Many drugs do not stay in the urine long and cant be detected.

    2. Drugs stay in the blood much longer and is harder to hide.

    3. I believe they will draw blood before and after the fight

    Some jobs ask for hair.
