PACQUIAO WILL ABIDE BY NEVADA DEMAND FOR URINE TEST By Ronnie Nathanielsz PhilBoxing.com Tue, 29 Dec 2009 Manny Pacquiao who is spending time with his family in his hometown of General Santos City and playing basketball to stay in shape, will fly to Manila tomorrow (Wednesday Philippine time) to comply with a directive from the Nevada State Athletic Commission to undergo a urinalysis. Pacquiao’s adviser Michael Koncz said Pacquiao will comply but there was no way he would fly to the US to provide a urine sample. www.insidesports.ph, Standard Today and Viva Sports contacted Koncz early Tuesday to inform Pacquiao about the latest ruling of the Chairwoman of the NSAC, Pat Lundvall, who invoked the right of the Commission to require both Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr to submit themselves to random urine tests. Executive Director Keith Kizer informed us about the directive from Lundvall to have both Pacquiao and Mayweather who were scheduled to face-off in a March 13 super-fight to provide urine samples, since they are both licensed by the NSAC and are subject to these kinds of tests no matter whether the fight takes place or not. Boxing writer Dan Rafael quoted Lundvall as saying that random testing “is the best way to evaluate the compliance with our rules and regulations against prohibited substances and the primary reason for that is that an athlete doesn't have time to cycle out or flush out any prohibited substances, and therefore random testing is the best thing to employ, which is why I thought it was a good idea for Keith (Kizer) to inform these fighters that we would like to have a sample and move forward with our random testing." The head of the Boxing Division of the Games and Amusements Board which is the Philippine government agency that supervises professional sports, Dr. Nasser Cruz told us that “the World Anti Doping Agency (WADA) accredited Dr.Alex Pineda from the Philippine Olympic Committee” to conduct such tests. Dr. Cruz said "He (Dr. Pineda) is the only one accredited by WADA” and since he is in Metro Manila, Pacquiao will have to fly in Wednesday to provide a urine sample.
There's nothing new in this article.It's not like this is a blood test,same urine he has always giving.He can **** at the NSAC offices if he wants because designer drugs need blood tests not urine tests
you have not been following the news! they have not signed any contract yet so Mayweather Athletic Commission cannot demand blood from Manny at this stage this is the new ruling from NSAC, them stepping in and requiring urine samples now! this is totally random and I don't think has been before!
