    I'm not questioning his faith just his reason for not taking the test. How ever you put it be it superstition or he just feels it makes him weak, even though science would say the amount of blood taken would not weaken him its just a mental thing with Pac. The point no one can debate is no 100% clean athelete would have a problem with random blood testing. This would help the sport and keep cheating to a minimum how can any boxing fan not want that.

    Doesn't mean this is his fault though. Rush Limbaugh reasoning. You have to connect the dots between a and z. You can't directly go from a to z.

    The burden of proof is on you for this one. 6 billion people in the world and you assume they all think and believe like you? I had a cousin DIE because her interpretation of her religion was that it forbids blood transfusions. You are right, I cannot debate that because I think it is flat out false without merit.

    Dude you are going way overboard to prove a point. I said athelete meaning this was limited to athletic competition and keeping it fair for all athletes. Speaking from a athletic point of view only, I do believe any clean athlete would share my point of view. There will always be certain circumstances were maybe an athlete would refuse to give blood for an religous point of view and thats a different subject and not at all Pac's situation.

    You are entitled to your belief but if you can't see why others would disagree there is not much point discussing it. You have staked out a position that is totally rooted in YOUR belief system. That is your right to do, but to not recognize that others don't feel the same? Sorry, you are asking the world to conform to you. Isn't gonna happen. Not much I am stupid enough to guarantee, but this one is a lock. :deal
