    Maybe because they are not a part of Professional boxing.

    you know what, inasmuch as i was salivating about the pac-floyd fight, I totally agree with you in this one

    manny should abandon floyd, fight the winner of berto - mosley, have himself tested blood, urine, saliva and semen, during training and after the fight...and then sue Mayweather for all he is worth!!!!

    the difference with the Lance Armstrong test is that Tour de France governing body required the test...this time, it was just the mayweathers demanding the test and that is why pac's camp is pissed off that suddenly mayweather has become the authority of boxing

    Mayweather is demanding Olympic-style testing conducted by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, whose inflexible protocol calls for random urine and blood testing throughout training camps, fight week and even the day of the fight, with the ability to test any time, day or night. Both fighters would be subject to the same kind of testing.

    I dont care which agency does the testing, as long as they're experienced, and have high credibility in blood testing.......the NSAC which Arum wants conducting the test, does not have that credibilty because they've only so far tested urine samples.

    Bottom line for me is that if Pacquiao refuses to submit himself to random test (no matter who the agency is) it pretty much seals it for me, the mans a cheat.

    I know that if I was a cheat, I'd be coming up with all kinds of excuses not to submit myself to such tests.......if I was'nt, I would have never blinked an eye when such blood doping suggestion was proposed.

    ......any clean fighter with over 20 million guaranteed to climb the ring, would never let a doping drug test interfere with a fight getting made if he were clean.

    Against who else will Pacquiao make the type of money he would for Mayweather?
    .......and he's going to let the fight fall through because he does'nt want his arm pricked with a needle?:lol::lol::nut

    I hope Pacquiao submits to these tests, because in not doing so, there is always going to be a cloud, and a shadow of doubt hung over his head.
    I think it will effect his legacy if he does'nt go through with these tests.

    Lets do it Manny, get tested and let it be Mayweather who carries around the stigma of being a Fraud.

    My opinion, but if Manny is clean, he will allow himself to be submitted to these blood tests......if he's not....:?:-(

    I don't think this will go anywhere. We have seen so many responses from Pacman but zero from Mayweather.

    I don't get it.

    That's what Mayweather requested, I know. That's what Olympic style drug testing involves, I know. Pacs said no.

    Bottom line is that USADA tests both blood and urine sample......obviously both tests are administered because some one particular test might not be as reliable at detecting certain drugs.

    If you test both blood and urine, a cheater is less likely to fall through the cracks.

    What Pac saw now motivates him more, it becomes slightly obvious to him that his opponent is scared and wants out of the fight, I'm sure that's what in his head and it motivates him more and boosts his confidence. Mayweather is the one that asked for these rules and since the fight is off all Pac has been doing is sending Mayweather indirect messages through various reliable news sources to reconsider because OBVIOUSLY both will make SHITLOADS of money and he knows how much Mayweather loves money. He's NOT getting any response and it is him doing the calling so you get the idea right there.

    I don't think Mosley would bother with Mayweather either if Pac is open for that fight, this leaves Mayweather with none but **** easy opponents like Mathew Hatton who I'm sure no one sane will bother to watch. Does he have any options?, no, is he going to move up in weight?, maybe but options at Jr. Middle aren't that great either same for middle.

    Conte beat it because at the time that particular brand of drug was not detectable to the tests they were administering.
    Since then, they have improved their technology to detect what Balco was dishing out.

    Sooner or later someone will develop a new designer steroid that the current tests cannot detect......and if that designer steroid goes public as did Balco.....these drug testing agencies will have to work at a new test to detect such a performance enhancer.


    All these leading edge drug testing agencies can do is test for drugs they know exist.......and its exactly what the Mayweather camp wants Pacquiao to submit himself too.

    The Mayweather camp wants Pacquiao to be tested for all kinds of performance enhancers, and since Mayweather is willing to submit himself to the same tests, I dont see how anyone can criticize him for insisting that top level testing be done.

    Dude USADA is sometimes full of ****. Hair is the best method bar none. But they want to sell blood as their primary method when in reality, they hardly ever do blood testing and it doesn't actually do much more than urine. Olympics testing raito was 4:1 urine-blood.

    For instance, the one advantage to blood, seriously the one advantage is its supposed ability to detect HGH. This sounds friggen awesome until you realize that no one has ever been caught cheating with HGH, ever. So we have a blood test that's never hit a positive for HGH.

    So I ask you why bother testing with blood when the one thing its supposed to have over urine, detection of HGH, it's never come up with a positive hit?

    WRONG... the USADA uses mainly blood tests instead of urine ones to detect most PEDs, that's the real reason ! Not because urine is not reliable....

    No, Mayweather is not the authority in boxing......but boxing must do better to catch these drug cheats, if which I'm certain are all over in this boxing game.

    There has been thread posted here in the past from people who have said they boxed and knew of how other boxers cheated and passed drug tests given out by boxing commisions.......so obviously boxing commisions need to tighten up their screws as far as drug testing is concerned.


    .......why not start with what alot of experts are predicting will be the richest boxing match in boxing history!:deal
