This is very true, we all know Floyd is way more vocal than Roach and likes to insult his opponents. Floyd hasn't said much before and after the lawsuit was filed. could it be were are all getting played?
i just read on b**ingtalk that floyd proposed a 14 day cutoff for blood testing and pac shot it down. what a douchebag.
The last i heard in the news was an interview with a local paper where said something like: I'm getting worried that many people are now starting to believe the PED allegations. there is a way to work out a deal. Tell manny to call me (speaking to the reporter)
[url]http://www.mb.com.ph/articles/236316/roach-worries-over-drug-allegations-against-pacquiao[/url] By Nick Giongco When allegations of drug use involving Manny Pacquiao began floating a few weeks ago, Freddie Roach said he was hardly affected. Not anymore. The general public now thinks Mannys on steroids, Roach told the Bulletin yesterday from Los Angeles, sounding very much concerned that the Filipino pound-for-pound king is now being perceived to be guilty even though he has passed all the medical requirements in the US. Many believe the Mayweather camp is trying to get into the head of Pacquiao, destabilize him and thus has been concocting this thing about performance-enhancing drugs. But whatever it is, Roach said their training schedule must proceed on schedule. Roach said hes been unsuccessful in trying to get Pacquiao on the phone with him so they could discuss plans for the future tops of which is the proposed March 13, 2010, super fight with Floyd Mayweather. This is the reason why I want to talk to him, said Roach when asked about the possible site for training camp in the event promoters of the two fighters finally succeed in ironing out kinks. I think we could still find a way to make the fight happen by agreeing on a compromise. Roach even asked the help of this writer to relay his message to Pacquiao, something that was immediately done just like in the past when the celebrated cornerman wanted to get a piece of the worlds No. 1 fighter. If you get to talk to Manny, tell him I want to talk to him, added Roach. Pacquiao has refused to give in to Mayweathers demand that they undergo Olympic-style testing, going to the extent of threatening him and Golden Boy Promotions, the outfit that represents Mayweather, with a lawsuit for defamation. Pacquiao said he doesnt mind having his blood drawn as long as it is not as close to the fight date because he said it affects him mentally, something that Mayweathers camp is not agreeable to. Meanwhile, Dr. Alex Pineda of the Philippine Olympic Committee has arrived in General Santos City to supervise the initial part of the urine testing procedure on Pacquiao as per order of the Nevada State Athletic Commission. Pineda said 60 ml of the urine sample will be labeled A, while the remaining 40 ml will be listed B. If Pacquiao tests positive for a banned substance, the "B" sample will be tested to confirm if there was a discrepancy in the results. Pineda, a member of the Southeast Asian Games region anti-doping council, said Pacquiaos urine is scheduled to be drawn Wednesday so he could return to Manila and ship the two sets of samples to a testing center in China, Thailand or Malaysia recognized by the World Anti-Doping Agency.
its one of his rights, when confronted you do have the right to remain silent... Obviously Floyd IMO has officially exposed them for using steroids there is no other way around it at this stage.
Yes!!!:yep Thats why I hardly post on these Soap Opera threads. Just gonna sit back and wait for these 2 to fight. Everyones getting worked up for nothing!
I asked myself this the other day. I wonder if he knows or thinks something is really going on. He obviously wants the prestige and money from training Pacquiao, but if Pacquiao got caught doing something he surely doesn't want people thinking he knew.
