Disturbing Quote from Dan Rafael regarding Blood Testing for May/Pac

Thanks for that link Caneman, this gets interesting...

 

Well something is fishy because he was never THIS good until after the 2nd marquez fight when he moved up from 130. All of a sudden hes an indestructable, unstoppable, one punch knockout artist machine. Anyone else thought his transformation was unbelievable??

 

There was a rugby player who got caught through blood testing earlier this year using HGH. It was on the ESPN site if I remember correctly.

There's my question, care to answer it.

If Pacquiao through not being "most" fighters is excluded from your statement then how is what you said relevant to the discussion?

 

The only guys he knocked out were Hatton (very shaky chin, already KO'ed by Floyd) and Diaz (let's not get ahead of ourselves on this one either).

 

According to this article, USADA can theoretically test for it via urine tests, but it's unclear whether or not they use this new technology yet, and whether or not it actually works.

It's an interesting question and of course is only a question and we should consider him innocent until proven guilty.

The way he's marched through the divisions is amazing, I remember when people were wondering if David Diaz was too big and strong for him!

 

Well I think Pac's ascent through the divisions is largely due to Roach's training. Pac always had 1 punch KO power with his left hand, but during his Diaz fight you could see a different Manny. Not only was his footwork improved from when he used to throw jabs and a LUNGING left hand, but he also used his right hand very effectively. Very crisp technique, no more lunging, every boxing fan besides the casual ones should be able to pick up the drastic improvements in Pac's technique.

 

Ya, to a pac fan who can't bare to think he's on something

 

Esb posters boxing fans and boxing analysts don't know ****!

Mannys fans know

 

Conte is the most prominent.
......
Conte also said, "One, I think that increasing hematocrit levels, whether it's by traditional blood-doping or the use of EPO, is of greater benefit to a boxer than the use of growth-hormone," he explained."So growth-hormone is more of an anti-catabolic agent that may help to accelerate the healing of the tissue repair process. But growth-hormone is not anabolic as an anabolic steroid. It's an anti-catabolic agent and I believe that you don't get a very big bang for your buck. I'm not a huge fan of growth-hormone. I don't think it's tremendously beneficial performance enhancing substance.
.....

....and my point in this discussion or this topic was since steroids, EPO and blood doping will be seen or detected with what Pac had agreed to, and since HGH has been reported as not beneficial in the 24 day window, Pac's testing offer is reasonable.
