By not agreeing to the test, Pac deserves all the suspicion laid upon him. And...

In fairness, Floyd's camp probably don't give a damn about stringent dug testing in general and are just trying to unsettle Pac using rather embarassing tactics. It's clear what the majority on that thread thought, and they are probably right about GBP.

Having said that, just because GBP are saying these things to unsettle Pac, if they WERE serious about stringent drug testing, they'd have every right to be because they should be serious about it. So whether they are serious or not is pretty irrelevant especially as Pac is so reluctant about the random testing. PBF's camp didn't anticipate Pac's reluctance, and now what was formerly embarassing bull**** from them has been given legitimacy.

 

He can only prove that he isn't using drugs in the preparation of any fights he takes in the future, even if it's only one more. He and everyone else should be given random testing. All his former wins should stand as even if Pac was actually proven guilty of using drugs, you can't tell from exactly when he started using them.

 

Pac's name wouldn't be blackened if he just cooperated or at least insisted that he would take whatever tests he had to whenever he had to, as long as the type of testing he endures is mandatory for all fighters from now on. True, Pac shouldn't have been singled out, but he should still agreed, instead of giving the claims of PBF's camp legitimacy.

 

Read a comment from me on the first page in regards to this...

 

The timing of the testing shouldn't be an issue really. The testing should be at random points and there should be no room to negotiate about the proximity of the testing. Different drugs stay in the system for different amounts of time and so when a fighter decides to not be tested at a specific time, it arouses suspicion. Even if the reason the fighter gives could be a legitimate one, it could just as easily be a smokescreen.

And it's almost certain that the allegations were made to unsettle Pac and Al Haymon is showing clear hypocrisy and in promoting a fight against Mosley although Mosley's offence was years ago and he almost certainly isn't using PED now as he'd be watched like a hawk (although he and every other fighter should be made to take the same measures as Pac was asked to for PBF).

What I do want to know is what was the reason that the Mayweathers rejected the idea of the Nevada Boxing Commission conducting the tests? Is it simply because they don't think the testing would be strict enough.

Anyway the bottom line is this - if the measures that GBP were proposing aren't implemented through all of boxing, and if GBP haven't mentioned they want that to happen as a springboard of Pac's testing, then Pac had every right to tell them to **** off (although again, he shouldn't have).

 

No, you need evidence to be someone to be proven guilty, not for the person in question to actually be guilty. And when they opportunity to obtain answers either way is being denied, then questions can justifiably be asked.

I'm not saying Pac is innocent or guilty. I thought he was 100% innocent until a couple of days ago.

 

Olympic style testing should be mandatory in boxing, it shouldn't be a case of fighters demanding it....
