Who cares if he said pacquiao is on peds or not? About 98% of the board believe Pacquiao is clean. Ill keep saying he is a ***** for not taking the test though, because thats why the fight isn't happening.
First of all who cares who wins the lawsuit. Second of all, most floyd fans do think he is accusing pac. thirdly athletes should have more strict test due to the ridiculous and growing number of designer drugs.
no actually he really had to cut down to 145 not 144, but he had to cut to 140 before the weight in and while in training to even make 144-147 and the 145 limit they put on him, one lbs changes everything, your training, dieting, abilities in the ring. thats the point how badly in shape you are when moving up or down a division, thats why to do it correctly you need enough time such as 8 motnhs to make it or cut it correctly not 3 or 4 months... and some fighters just cant do it anymore like.... cotto which hasn't fought under 147 in like 6 years. de la hoya who hadn't made 147 in a decade before fighting pac, had gotten a black eye from his SPARING partner!! and after the fight had to be taken to the hospital to treat him from severe dehydration...
just like what one poster said, if you are not satisfied with the drug testing by NSAC, then quit being a pro boxer!
Quote Pacquiao vs. Cotto Question 1: How will the catchweight affect the fight? The fight is being contested at 145 lbs, which is two pounds lighter than the welterweight limit of 147 lbs. This should work in Pacquiao's favor, as he is the naturally smaller man. Cotto was very vulnerable in his final fights at junior welterweight due to the strain of cutting weight. Having to cut down lower than he has been accustomed to for the last three years could bring back some of those vulnerabilities, a possibility that team Pacquiao clearly had in mind when making the bout and demanding a catchweight. If you don't think cutting weight can make you a weaker fighter, see De La Hoya's performance against Pacquiao, where he cut down to 147 lbs for the first time in a decade.
It's sad to see delusional pac fans blindly following a steriod cheat. please pac just prove u r not a cheat...please for the sake of our fans. it's gotta to a point the casual fans think pac is roided up, just put a end to it and take a test. do it for your fans pac...not pbf...do it for your loyal *******s.
who says pac is not willing to take the tests? he even said he will take the test night before the fight. lets talk about the 7days cutoff, now what PEDS can be cycled within that short span of time and cant be detected? if you know the drug as what most *****s claim to be "PED EXPERTS", please name just one drug or stfu!
All he wants to ensure is no blood tests too close to the fight. Pac just doesn't want anything like this happening again....

Blood tests for drug use involve collecting about 10-20 cc of blood (1-2 vials). 4 of these drug tests will equal 50-100 cc, or about 10% - 20% of a pint of blood given in donations (450cc). 1. How do periodic reductions in hemoglobin affect an athlete's ability to train? From: This content is protected Blood is a complicated tissue with many different roles. When you donate blood, you give up a pint of fluid containing mostly water along with various proteins and cells in solution. During high-intensity endurance activities however, it is hemoglobin, found within our red blood cells, that is most important. Hemoglobin delivers oxygen to our tissues, and when we exercise our muscles require increased amounts of oxygen. If we lack sufficient hemoglobin, anaerobic, or without oxygen, metabolism will ensue (producing lactic acid) at even seemingly moderate levels of intensity. This content is protected This content is protected , (which is why you may not donate more often than every two months). What then are the lasting effects of this red blood cell loss? Assuming that your cardiac output (the amount of blood pumped by the heart) remains constant, a drop in hemoglobin concentration associated with donating blood will reduce your oxygen delivery to working muscles by 10 percent. Still, when you are at rest, or even during moderate levels of exercise, oxygen delivery, even at this decreased capacity, far outpaces demand. However, once you reach a heart rate that is around 5 to 10 percent below your usual anaerobic threshold, your body's demand for oxygen will outpace its supply. For example, if your metabolism typically becomes anaerobic at a heart rate of 170, then after donating blood you will become anaerobic at a heart rate of between 157 and 164 beats per minute. This value will fluctuate because your hemoglobin level will be rising slowly each day, thus the most significant effect will be felt in the first few days after donating. 2. Donating Blood - What Active People Need to Know He notes that many variables make it difficult to predict how much or how long donating a pint of blood will affect athletic performance. However, he notes that recovery after blood donation is fairly fast. Eichner writes: "In my anecdotal experience, This content is protected ." 5 blood tests would equal about 100cc, about 23% of 450cc, the amount of a pint given in blood donations. 23% of 4 weeks is roughly 6 days. 6 days of not feeling well while in training? Sounds like a huge compromise.
