    Class post Scar.

    It would be good if Manny would just say **** it i'll do it, but the fact is its a stupid request in the first place, and a big slap in the face.

    There is a great certainty of bias that is possible with WADA testing methods, ie they are the basis behind modern testing methodology developed since the 70's in cycling.

    Who decides when athlete A is tested? Who decides how often? What constitutes a positive when they can flag you even if you weren't home? Who who and more who's.

    An example of pure spite is Lance Armstrong, the guy's been tested over 40 times by June of 09, which was about 3 times more than any other cyclist.

    So yea, there's alotta bull**** with olympic testing.

    You still have the effects of the training (increased red blood count, strength, power, speed, and the ability to train harder/more frequently) but the steroid itself is out of your system. If you've ever seen an old former steroid user who still has a lot of muscle, it's kind of like that. Though the drug may not be in his body still, he still has the benefit of increased muscle mass.

    Kirk, its not 35 days before the fight. Its random drug testing.. meaning they can test you minutes before the fight and knowing how gay the mayweathers are, I think theyre going to do it minutes before. Its in the contract "random drug testing" means anytime before the fight.

    All fighters MMA/Boxing get caught after a post fight test, lets keep it that way.

    Post fight test, Floyd forgot that point thats why his story isnt going to fly.

    The "risk" for having to give blood on fight week runs for both fighters.. On the contrary, I sort of agree with Roach as there is already a standardized method for drug testing in boxing and no real valid reason to deviate from such other then whispers in the gyms.. I don't see a problem with Floyd's demands either as he would be subjected to same treatment..

    Honestly, I really don't give a **** as long as the fight is signed.. I'm a bigger fan of boxing then I am of either fighter

    pac is ok with the blood test right after the fight.

    for me, i just don't want someone sticking a needle in me 24 hours before the fight.

    The Floyd boys don't like it. Pac is not weakened if the testing is done after the fight.

    For a huge fight like this Manny would be STUPID to say "okay", this is an insult to him and Roach to be honest. Mayweather and his team are indirectly hinting that they are cheaters, Pac, Roach, Arum and anyone involved with Pac have the right to blow up and get pissed. Mayweather would do worse if he was labeled a cheater or hinted to be one.

    Who knows? I think a blood test after the fight is sufficient but unfortunately I'm not an adviser for either fighter

    I would just like for one of you to explain why its a big deal??

    And if you check most of the times when they get caught its from using **** they get over the counter like Ripped Fuel and other diet pills.

    I think Mayweather is just playing a mind game here. They want to take advantage of everything.

    Pacquaio has agreed to a post fight drug testing. Isn't that enough?

    If Mayweather asked for something which is not really mandatory, then I guess Pacquaio can also have a say on that request.
