Marquez - Pacquiao drug test results in - Marquez used Pedialyte

November 22, 2011 (BOXING) - On Monday, Keith Kizer of the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) informed me that Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez passed their drug tests with flying colors after their welterweight title bout on November 12.

"The steroid and drugs tests for Mr. Pacquiao and Mr. Marquez are in. They were all negative (as were Mr. Bradley’s)," stated Mr. Kizer, who serves as the executive director of NSAC.

Last week, NSAC informed Examiner.com that the yellow substance ingested by Marquez during the fight was permissible. "Water and electrolyte drinks are allowed in the corner. Any electrolyte drink must be brought to the arena in factory-sealed, plastic bottles. Mr. Marquez used water and Pedialyte on Saturday night," Mr. Kizer told me on Wednesday.

World Boxing Organization (WBO) rules state that only plain water can be given to a boxer during the course of the bout. However, the Muhammad Ali Act enacted by the U.S. congress in 2000 mandates that the state athletic commission possesses jurisprudence on the matter.
