Instead he refused the tests, came up with illogical excuses, called it a ducking tactic even though the request was there in the first draft, asked for loopholes and announced testing (super su****ious), then LEFT the negotiating table, and ultimately sued the other side for requesting the tests.
(How anyone could blame Mayweather for this is beyond me.)
I don't care if you're the biggest Pacquiao fan in the world -- and I happen to be one -- but that is awfully su****ious to me.
Other guys later exposed as cheaters would use this lawsuit tactic to silence people as well. Lance Armstrong did it a lot. So did Shane Mosley, when he claimed ignorance and sued for the implication that he was aware that was doping.
Of course, he later admitted to knowing full well what he was doing, leading to a prompt dismissal of the case.
There are tons of other examples of cheaters getting defiant and going the legal route. The best way would've been to just take the test and destroy Floyd in the manner he did Cotto -- that would've silenced any su****ions before they could ever get life.
Instead they chose the other route. It stinks.
If I were a clean athlete in this predicament, I would definitely want to take the tests just to prove something and THEN sue, if the insinuations turned out to be unfounded.
If you took the tests, kicked his behind in the same destructive manner while proving it was natural, I'm sure your case -- from a legal standpoint -- would be stronger as well...
