What is Pacquiao's issue with USADA?

they are good at detecting untraceable steroids with a teaspoon of blood.

 

The biggest issue is intrusiveness. USADA is notorious for doing numerous tests days before on or the day of competition in the Beijing Olympics. I personally am all for drug and steroid testing to the highest degree, as long as it is not so intusive to the point it may affect the athletes mindset and possibly performance.

Asafa Powell is the biggest example. In the Beijing Olympics, Asafa expressed agitation over numerous tests done on him up to the day of his races. It really threw him off mentally, but was luckilly able to shake off the ordeal by performing well in his races.

haha :good

 

Bingo! That's Manny problem, getting busted for some performance enhancer he shouldn't have in his system. Only if these knuckleheads would could comprehend such as elementary fact - but then again they do know but they want to play dumb. :yep

 

But they *all* get randomly tested, so it's a level playing field. But if some just can't hack it.........nobody has a gun to their temple forcing them to be athletes; do something else.

 

True. The difference with Asafa and Pac is, Asafa has to do these tests as required by the IOC and USA Olympic Committe. Pro boxing in Nevada has a drug testing policy in place already which Pac has passed, 10 to be exact. This blood testing is not part of the policies already in place, it is a policy being forced down Pac's throat by the Mayweathers, not for all boxers, JUST MANNY PACQUAIO.

 

Nevada testing is a joke; 2 **** tests on fight night. I don't blame the Mayweathers for trying to negotiate for a better system.

 

Like I said, I'm all for it. Pac has agreed to do the blood tests, 3 of them to be exact, and should be sufficient. But not good enough for the Mayweathers. Makes you wonder what else the problem/motives is. You can't hide steroids in your blood within the time frame Pac has accepted.

And why just this fight? Why not standard for all Nevada fights? Justify the singling out for Manny Pacquaio, a person who has no history of steroid use as indicated by past tests. Why doesn't Golden Boy request a similar test for Mosley, a GBP fighter and part investor, who has a history of steroid use, and is fighting Berto January 30. Where is the justification?

 

It should be all fights or none. You're basically saying "I don't trust pacquiao, he is a cheater"
It needs to say "we need to fix the drug testing in boxing"
This **** is absurd. Mayweather is a *****.

 

Problem is that I'd like to see this type of testing for all big fights. Would go a long way to cleaning up the image of boxing if they could say our drug testing policies are more stringent then those in anyother sport. This coupled with the man to man nature of the sport would make it unquestionably the pure form of compitition in sport. That would be a great message to sell.

 

But it isn't; what about the 30 days before the fight? He could be up to his eyeballs in dope and nobody would be the wiser.
Just because his system doesn't have dope on fight night or on those 3 occasions, doesn't mean he got to where he is without dope. When training, it is easy to keep your level without dope once you reach it with it.

Don't get me wrong; I think they should all be tested as hard as possible; why it has come up now well that is what the Mayweathers want so they put it on the table. Who cares what they suspect. It has merit regardless.

 

Yeah but you can start with two fighters in the biggest fight in the sports history. not a bad way to start that trend. Then believe me you will get a lot of other guys feeling justified asking for more stringent testing in the future.

 

Regardless, I hope they come to terms. I'd much rather see the fight than a court battle. Actually, I'd like to see the fight, then Manny taking the Mayweathers, Malignaggi, and GBP to court for defamation of character assuming he passes all blood tests.

 

Pac should do the standard state mandated tests and let Lil floyd choose if he wants to fight or be a big smelly **** and run like a chicken head. Why is it up to Manny to choose ? Do the standard **** and fight. This doesn't stem from Pac, the problem stems from the fraud, plain and simple !!!!
