Interesting Article on Pac & Drug testing

agreed!!!!!!:good

 

Pacquiao has never rejected a blood test by the commission. If they chose for him to have blood taken 20 days before a bout, he's proven that he would do that.

Anyway, if this test comes back clean then theres no reason at all to suggest Pacquiao is dirty any more.

Interestingly, if Mayweather had accepted the fight in Texas, he would have got his own way in regards to the tests. Pacquiao has no issue giving urine samples.

 

Sparring partners are sparring partners. There's a difference between beating the crap out of your sparring partners and fighting a fighter in the pro-ring.

 

Yeah, the point about sparring partners is ridiculous. When Pacquiao fought Cotto, the best sparring partner he fought was a shot Castillo. Pacquiao could have flu and would still batter this version of Castillo and look good, so his performances against sparring partners is not indicative of how he would against Clottey if he had blood drawn the day before.

 

Borat, when did I say he was unbiased about everything but this? Never said that, Im just saying that he comes off as purely unbiased, which isnt true for anyone. Everyone has some kind of bias

 

I see your point, I just never noticed Vivek's bias against Pacman. In fact he was singing him many praises. Now, all of the sudden he is completely against him. I just think it his view that Pac is hiding something here, that's all. And honestly, if you think without bias, let's forget the names and look at facts. We have a fighter who does not want to take a drug test 24 days from the fight, which would bring him 40 mil dollars, claiming it weakens him so much, and yet turns around and takes non-drug test 19 days before fight, for much less money. Look, forget the names, but isn't it obvious something is wrong with this picture?

 

Why would any self-respecting person feel the need to prove they are innocent of claims made by a convicted criminal??

 

hahaha that's not an article. It says "hmmm" in the title.

That's just a blog post.

 

I'm not a drug user and I would categorically refuse a drug test if it was forced upon me.

 

The point is some of us just can't accept the fact that Pacquiao is this good, that he's beating the crap out of these greats, that he'd end up beating all these greats. For me, at least, I'll enjoy this phenomenon 'til he lasts, phenomena come but once in a lifetime!

 

no you don't... you see what you want to see... to reinforce your own opinion. so does vivek.. people who don't agree with vivek (and you) on many things see the problems in his/your reasoning immediately...

 

Well, you were required to take a drug test anyway and you agreed to that. You are just being asked to take a different more modern one. You are honestly saying if a company hired you and offered millions, you would refuse a drug test that is more sophisticated than the one that is typically administered by most firms? Be honest.

 

I see the facts and I am applying reason as opposed to licking balls of any of the fighters. Forget the names. What is not reasonable in this statement: "We have a fighter who does not want to take a drug test 24 days from the fight, which would bring him 40 mil dollars, claiming it weakens him so much, and yet turns around and takes non-drug test 19 days before fight, for much less money. Look, forget the names, but isn't it obvious something is wrong with this picture?"

 

Yeah, sparring is the same as the real fight.

Give me damn $1000/draw, I'll take it every other day.

psychological man, psychological...

 

do we really need to explain it? try to put yourself in his position - there is a guy who publicly accuses to dope although there is no evidence whatsoever, and then tries to force a dope test on you that is not a standard procedure in boxing. What would you do? Any man with a bit of pride would say "no way, **** off"... 19, 24 days... who cares, you just don't want to do it when the other guy wants it and you do it whenever YOU yourself want it. Is there anything unreasonable???
