Manny Pacquiao cries foul over Antonio Margarito's Hydroxycut usage

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Controversy erupted Saturday night before Manny Pacquiao and Antonio Margarito even got in the ring.

A weight loss supplement was seen in Margarito's dressing room before the fight, and Pacquiao's team demanded that he be tested before the fight for possible banned substances. Texas officials, though, said the testing would be done after the fight as usual.

The weight loss supplement was reportedly Hydroxycut, sold over the counter.

Margarito struggled to lose the last few pounds this week to make the 150-pound contract weight for the fight.

Does this mean marg will be gone from boxing for good?

 

He won the fight. It's a legal substance that can be purchased over the counter.

Case closed as far as I am concerned.

 

oh lord...

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

hmm... i heard it was a banned stimulant that was present in margo's dressing room before the fight.

 

Its not clear that Margarito took that, but if he did, he must not have been aware that it was banned in Texas.
A camp member opened up the package in front of the HBO cameras and a Texas inspector for God's sake.......its not like team Margarito was hiding the fact they were taking it.

Not every boxing commision has a ban on such a substance because its not a performance enhancer......

I find it hillarious however that Freddie Roach wanted Margarito tested for it before he stepped into the ring because he said that stuff does'nt show after the rigors of a fight.

......this after all the crap the Pac team made about testing windows and wanting only to have Pacquiao tested for PED use after the fight and not before.:rofl:rofl:rofl


Freddie sure does know what, when and where a positive test result will show, I wonder why????:-(

 

ok. it was a weight loss supplement which contains a banned stimulant called Ephedra.

 

Margarito is superstious of giving " la sangra"..the blood..before a fight. Show some courtesy

 

Hold up so Margo struggled to make 150? Ariza and Roach was right when he said he looked weight drained.

 

Nothing is illegal in Texas. You could bring a cow in the dressing room and drink some hormone enriched milk. They should have let Margarito have the full 154 limit anyway, and not **** with him like this.

 

I laughed when laughed when I heard about this aswell. It's a joke. The nerve Freddie has.

 

Ironic? Lol

 

Actually Pacquiao has offered unlimited urine testing. So what the **** are you talking about again? :huh

 

btw, there are versions of hydroxycut without ephedra. so it might not matter at all.
