    I did a ton of them in the navy, there is a big difference between the two.
    Urine is expelled naturally and contains the same things your blood does, urine contains blood.
    I have literally witnessed grown men faint or act like scared women when giving even just a vile of blood. My own brother passed out in boot camp giving a blood sample.
    What you can eat and what you can do when giving blood is altered. You're removing blood from your system and forcing your body to immediately replace it, which although not a very dangerous thing, can be perceived as weakening.
    Manny is obviously over reacting to the idea of random blood tests, but most people do this same thing when faced with the prospect of giving blood. I have seen it personally in mass groups of grown men multiple times. It's psychological, but you can't blame Manny for his own personal feelings on the issue.

    I taken both tests. I was subjected to random urine tests when i played football in college, and we had to give blood as part of our physicals. neither one was a big deal to me other than the fact that some old guy was always there for the urine tests looking at ur dick while u pee to make sure that its ur own urine.

    Giving blood didn't affect me at all. I felt fine. I really hope this fight happens. I wish Pac would just take the damn tests.

    I never had a problem either, but I was told to go eat and that I might be light headed. Who wants to deal with that when they are training for a mega fight?
    A couple of times, sure... but he has no idea how many, and why floyd is specifically using USADA... he may have lined their pockets to harass Manny.
    How is this fair to manny?

    Especially since he has taken a ton of tests before and has never been caught with any PEDs in his system.

    Sorry, but the only thing that hurt me when I had blood drawn was the needle *****.

    I have taken a lot of tests when I was in the AF. I ran the AF drug controlled program at the largest military base in Florida. Your urine or blood sample are tested for ALL DRUGS. Believe me I've seen men who were afraid at the sight of blood and needles let alone trying to give a urine sample. It's more psychological than you think. In the military it is MANDATORY to report for drug testing. I have tested as high as a 4 star general all the way down to an Airman Basic. If they want to do a blood test on Pacquiao, they should apply it across the board for every fighter not just for one time.

    I have taken both and neither bother me however i can see that people have genuine phobias. And the excuse that pac has tattoos and cant be scared of a blood test. But that is bollocks. I work in a doctors surgery and see plenty of people able to have injections fine and as soon as the idea of have a needle put into the actual vein and have blood TAKEN from the body they flip out and have genuine panic attacks! And being a fighter wont make a difference, phobias arnt about bravery!
     
  10. I love having blood drawn; reminds me of my heroin days.

    :deal Red Blood Cells are constantly reproducing in your body and the fact that only teaspoons of blood are drawn in testing samples pretty much debunks the idea that it will weaken Pacquiao....and even if it did, would it not weaken Mayweather the same??? or maybe it would be worse on Mayweather because he's so much of a "fraud" and a "sissy" right??

    No, because the issue is how Manny feels about giving blood.
    I am scared of height, you may not be, but does that mean I want to go on a roller coaster because you think I should?
    Manny has an issue with giving blood, that's on him. Regardless of how rational it seems to you.
    I have seen plenty of dudes freak out over giving 1 vile of blood. It's common.

    I've done both. I always make a bet with myself when I give blood on whether or not someone will pass out during it. Nobody's really fainted at the blood bank, but there's more winners whenever they have blood drives at other places like school campuses, etc. :lol:
