Quick question...if 24 days is good enough, then why do USADA do random tests right up until competition?
Well if the fight is off then lets move on however i will say this , Team Pacman is coming out of this looking way worse than team Mayweather .
Agree. Floyd is being called a *** and a *****. Nothings changed, he's been called that for years now. Pac is being branded a suspected cheater. His rep has taken a battering.
I guess thats part of my point kinda... if Marion Jones can pass it, among others, then what's the point in it all anyway? Athletes cheat... and don't always know it. What if, when it was initially stated that Pac would take the testing when ever by who ever, someone in Pac's camp piped up and said "well, he's actually had this or that which will come up positive in that testing" - it's not like if someone was giving them to him would broadcast to the team at all... possibly not even telling Pac the truth about what he was getting. When the threat of testing became reality, the person opened up and that is when the turn around occurred and Pac refused? Long shot, but would explain a lot. Hmm anyway, I'm sour about it all, obviously and think both sides are acting questionably.
I don't suspect Pac to have taken PED's BUT if he was so clean just give up your 25 ml of blood. Id rather bleed than be called a cheater. That being said though I dont know why PBF wanted it? Has he got issues of his own? Is he scared?
LOL. Floyd has made more concessions to get the fight done than Pac. He's not scared bro. He obviously has some suspicion that the guy who will be trying to rattle his brain with punches might be doing something illegal. If you were fighting a guy who you thought may be a good chance of taking ped's...wouldn't you AT THE VERY LEAST want the best testing method available to be used?
Agree again Jet. If Floyd has suspicions & wants the tests carried out, and is prepared to do them himself along with pac, I ask whats the problem. The only answer is team pac must know something will come up in the tests that will show pac is taking some kind of illegal supplement. End of story. No ifs no buts, if pacs clean why the bull****. And if I was the next fighter in line for pac whether it be Foreman, Mosley/Berto winner, whoever, I'd be asking for the same test. I'm definately suss on Pac, which is unfortunate as I love to see him fight but its too hard a game without cheating to win.
Right with you Roscoe. :good And for all those that think Floyd is scared and doesn't want to fight, answer this.... DID FLOYD KNOW THAT PAC WOULD SAY NO TO RANDOM TESTING??? WHY WOULD FLOYD THINK THAT PAC WOULDN'T AGREE TO IT? What if Pac agreed to it...what would Floyd have done then?.... asked for a larger ring? considering he has agreed to EVERYTHING so far and very quickly....I don't think so. Only one guy holding this fight up and it's not Floyd.
This is quite an interesting article. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/m...009-12-25_a_test_of_ethics.html#ixzz0c4vHCvR0
The article is asking for a lawsuit if there wasn't some truth in it. Surprisingly, not a peep out of team Pacquiao. Disgraceful if true and the nail in the coffin of doubt, as well.
It looks dodgy as hell. A man willing to wage war with Morales but cannot give 25 mils of blood up to 14 days before the fight. He is always wanting his concessions. I can understand him being pissed at the accusation, but responding by refusing 'random' tests and making a variety of excuses is not the way to respond. Something is up, its a shame, because i thought Pac was great in and out of the ring. I hope he has a change of heart and proves he is clean. Then he can take the plaudits and the apologies.
Ippy, I have to wonder out aloud, you were the first to always ask for evidence whenever Holyfield and the drug accusations came up. Whats the difference this time around?
