Mayweather-Pacquiao in Jeopardy Over Drug Test - Merged Thread:

[FLY TY]

Because that defeats the whole purpose of random testing. If a fighter who is using KNOWS when he is going to be tested that defeats the whole purpose of Olympic style testing. It gives them a way to cheat the test.The testing that Pacquiao's team initially agreed to have done.

i think rommel is under the impression that olympic testing is not random.....he/she doesn't understand that olympic style testing is RANDOMLY done. the athletes don't get to pick WHEN and WHERE they are tested.

what can I say, damn.

what makes that Yahoo image so funny is that Pac looks like he is about to go into a roid rage and Mayweather is laughing at him

They better ****ing fight.

[rommel357]

you're the ****in' idiot....

it says, athlete's will have to declare any BLOOD TRANSFUSION (that they may have had) within the last 6 months!

you have posted NOTHING about the regularity in which blood is tested from the athletes.....all that **** you keep posting is information they have to provide before testing!

OMG i'm dealing with a moron. What i posted is directly from the USADA Doping Control process. That is how they do it, WTF don't you understand. But yes they can ask to take a random blood test as well, but the fact is, Mayweather's camp requested the USADA Olympic drug test, and that's what they supposedly agreed upon. But Manny is willing to get a blood test before the press conference and after the fight, even though it is not required by the USADA Olympic drug test.

sometimes you have to play hard ball .. idiot...

EVERYTHING else is already agreed to.....dummy

Roach BLASTS Mayweathers - "Mayweather is a coward!"

8CountNews contacted Freddie Roach to get his thoughts on the recent reports of Manny Pacquiao's refusal to give blood the day before the scheduled fight with Floyd Mayweather. Roach says that he is the one advising Manny not to give the blood the day before the fight. Roach blasts the Mayweather's calling them cowards, and scared. Check out what else Freddie Roach had to say in this exclusive 8CN interview.

8CN - Freddie, todays headlines all say that Manny Pacquiao is refusing to give blood the day before the fight. What is your response?

FR - Well the sanctioning bodies and the state commissions run the boxing world, not Floyd Mayweather. Who is this guy to tell us that we have to have blood tests, or urine tests, or any tests? He's just looking for a way out of the fight. He is scared, and he's just afraid that he's going to get his ass kicked. We don't work for Floyd Mayweather. We fight for the state commission, since when does the fighter make up the rules?

8CN - To play devils advocate, Floyd's people firmly believe that Manny is taking steroids. Why not just take the test and prove them wrong?

FR - So, what if I think Mayweather is taking steroids too?, so does that mean I go out and change the rules in boxing? This guy isn't going to walk all over us, he's not railroading us. This is bull****, we will go by the rules of the commission, and that's it. We'll go on to other things, and he can make no money fighting some bum. My fighter is clean, I have trouble giving Manny protein shakes and vitamins, let alone steroids. We will pass the drug test, because my fighter is clean.

8CN - Is it Manny refusing to take the blood test or is it someone deciding for him?

FR - It's me, I am not going to let my fighter give blood a day before the fight.

8CN - What can giving blood a day before a fight do to a fighter?

FR - It's just like having *** before a fight. You're not supposed to have *** before a fight, it makes you weak. If you mentally think that, it will. When Manny gives blood it takes him 3 or 4 days to recover from it. I am not going to have my fighter going into a fight feeling weak and not sure of himself.

8CN - Is it true that Manny never wanted to give blood the day before any of his fights?

FR - We will never do it a day before a fight. We never flunked a urine test, and there is no reason to think my fighter is dirty. We have passed every test ever given to us. We go by the commission rules, not no rule Mayweather puts out there.

8CN - So it's fair to say that the ball is completely in Mayweathers court now, you guys are not budging?

FR - Yes it's fair to say that. If Floyd wants to fight us, then step up and fight us. If you want Manny to take a blood test after the fight, no problem, but not a day before.

8CN - Wouldn't a blood test the day after the fight be the same as a test a day before? I mean if Manny was taking steroids, wouldn't the test the day after the fight show the same thing as it would the day before?

FR - Yes agreed. A urine test will show the same thing too,but if they want a blood test the day after the fight, I have no problem with that. I will not have my guy giving blood a day before the fight, that will make him weak. Why is Floyd Mayweather dictating what we do in life? It's crazy... he's a coward and he's afraid to fight us and that is all there is to it.

8CN - If this fight gets scratched, what's next?

FR - We go up and get Yuri Foreman's title. We will go up one more weight division, just for you Floyd!

im not understanding how does floyd wanting him to take a blood test, a random blood test at that (i never read anything about night before unless you have a link) is saying he wants out of fight???
