Pacquiao Denies Steroid Use, Roach Blasts Floyd

[DrewWoodside]

floyd mayweather jr. is on roids as well.

there's rumors about it floating around.

i started it.

Yup, I think Floyd is on steroids. Also, a friend of mine thinks he might be on roids. We now have copious information and swirling speculation.

Then that crackpipe has a lot of mileage on it. The rumours and spec have been going on for awhile, and are pretty widespread.

Ask iceman.

for a while? since when? 2008? one year? when he moved up to fight DLH?

it never occured to you guys that he might have actually found 140 as the weight that his body is finally comfortable in? maybe he WAS draining to make 130?

i dunno, everyone's entitled to their opinions...even if some allow a crackhead to form it for them

[Al Haymon]

What exactly is this copious data?

Some of the data points are:

1. Other Roach trained fighters/athletes have tested positive for steroids
2. Pac's obvious size increases while maintaining exceedingly lean muscle mass
3. A culture of steroid use around the Wild Card gym
Etc...

less credible and specific has been "have you noticed down disproportionately large Pac's head is?" and "overseas athletes are more prone to PED use because the culture is more permissive".

[DuttyAlacrity]

LOL, they are already building up the hype for Pac-Floyd

If that's the ulterior motive then this makes sense
other than that, Sr.'s allegations didn't warrant a response

when floyd mayweather jr. moves up divisions it's because he's so good.

when pacquiao moves up divisions it must be because of roids.

get it? good.

dude , pac's had a big head since he was a kid. look up some of his fights.

overseas culture is more permissive of steroids? true. american athletes rarely test positive for steroids.

i dont get this steroid use causing enlargement of the head o.0?

so when you take steroids, it causes your skull to enlarge? are bones affected by steroid use?

there's a point in time where your epiphyseal growth plates stop working, and that stops the bone from growing.

ive only heard of ENCEPHALOPATHY which causes the brain to enlarge....but i havent heard of patients having an enlarged head cause of steroid use.

pacquiao is on the same stuff all our olympic gold medalist athletes are on.

Mak,

No. calm down. You are acting like I said the guy does roids. I said that i have heard those rumours for awhile. Jeff M said that among the boxing community, there has been a lot of chatter.

This is not the only board that I frequent, and I had seen this discussion before.

Yeah, maybe it has been a year or so. But he wasn't really in the public consciousness before. right? But there was a Pacquiao steroids thread on nsb that is over 2 years old.

If a guy is hitting 33 home runs a year and he is on the juice, he can fly under the radar. as soon as he hits 60, the questions will arise. That's how it works. Success draws scrutiny.



You know what entertains me? That so few are saying "well, let's objectively examine the issue". Instead people fall to " he is an ugly crackhead. He looks like the Predator". That's mature.
