Team Pacquiao refuse drug testing. Fight in Jepordy

Thank you! I can sleep tonight!!

 

:good

 

Have to say, I've been quite reassured reading some of the comments in this thread. Rather relieving after having negated the avalanche of nonsense that's being spewed on the gf.

Can't say I'm not still a tad concerned though. As much for all the crap I'll have to put with from the "boxing is dying" brigade as anything.

 

I avoid the general like the plague, actually would rather lick a plague infested rat then look at the general (I wouldn't but it adds to the effect!).

 

Do you even know how much blood is needed to do a test?? Answer: a miniscule amount. So small an amount that it would make 0.00001 difference to a fighters strength.

If Pac is refusing any kind of drugs test it puts into question ALL previous performances.

 

The drug testing in boxing is very very lax, and that ensures that we almost never get doping scandals - except for the occasional idiot who takes anabolic steroids too close to fight time.
The alternative is what we get in the Tour the France, and in the Olympics: very strict testing where a few athletes get caught every time, which leads to scandals that overshadow the entire event. We don't need that in boxing.

As for this thing: I fully expect the fight to go through, it makes too much sense.

 

:yep

 

I think Floyd's trying to ***** out of the fight.

 

Pac does not mind having bit of blood taken, and is up for taking as many urine tests as Floyd wants. The Nevade State Athletic Commission are apparently pissed because their tests are 'the best in the World' (source: 'The Scene Of Boxing') but Pac doesn't want a lot of blood taken because he is scared of needles. Someone has said 'if he's scared of needles why does he have tattoos' but I see that as a different type of queesiness.

Hope it comes off, but I see Floyd taking an easier option, like Bradley.

 

He isn't.

He's willing to take urine tests which are apparently the best way to find out if any drugs are in the system anyway. He's had post-fight tests before and nothing has shown up.

 

Why Pac should be subjected to unprecedented testing simply because that thick, former drug addict, Floyd Senior made a foundless allegation?

 

You couldn't make this **** up

 

That "quote" came from Richard Schaefer, if we're insistant on analysing all this nonsense.

 

How is it that every elite athlete in every major sport around the world is subject to random and regular blood testing throughout the year, but when it comes to boxing the same standards do not apply. The cheats in the sport get away with murder...what the hell is wrong with testing someone at the weigh in, they take a teaspoon of blood for **** sake, not an armful.

The longer that Pac procrastinates over this, the more he looks guilty, and this would only confirm what some of us have thought for a very long time.
