    Default Is there PED testing in advance of the Pacquiao Algieri fight?

    Does anyone know if there is any testing in advance of this fight?

    Doubt it. When the UFC did shows in Macao, they had to contract a local independent drug testing lab themselves. So unless Top Rank is shilling out big money to try to bust their own superstar for doping, the answer would be no.

    maybe urine sampling but no blood sampling because pac is afraid of needles. or is he superstitious? i dont remember which one he ultimately accepted as the reason.

    It can't be needles because he's got several tattoos, he also had the thimble full of blood that they need taken right vegore facing MaB so I don't think it's superstition.

    Was it not something to do with the effectiveness of randomised testing?

    If fighters weren't random drug tested, including urine and blood, then they are suspects for PED use. Standard urine tests are such an ineffective way of testing they might as well not be doing anything at all.

    i know. that was the joke. he made the claim that he was scared of needles yet he had tattoos then he claimed something about being superstitious.

    I read that BOTH fighters agreed to random VADA style testing in advance of the fight.

    The only other time Pacquiao has undergone such thorough testing was in advance of his fight against Rios.

    Nice, I stand corrected. Apparently they even did VADA testing in the last Macao fight with Rios.

    Funny how everyone dumped on Mayweather for talking about olympic-style random drug testing, now 3-4 years later everyone is jumping on board, including the guy who blew off the fight because he didn't want to take the test.

    Getting tattoos and getting blood taken are two entirely different things. I know many people who have tattoos that are susceptible to fainting when they have blood taken. It's not uncommon at all. I'm not judging whether Pacquiao avoided the tests for one reason or the other but it is possible to both have tattoos and have issues with blood being taken.

    As I understand it, they are doing VADA for this fight too. I read Kevin Iole tweets saying that he was in the room when Pacquiao was being tested by VADA.

    It certainly is possible as I dont have any tattoos and hate my blood being taken but I have to now and again to check on my health.

    Pac on the other hand has hundreds of millions dangling on that decision but he refused.. but lets just call floyd a coward as its so much easier.

    Just imagine if pac wanted the same test done on floyd on an undefeated fighter who blows away all competition..just imagine if floyd said he never liked needles!..just imagine the backlash.

    Pac will never leave arum as arum knows...he knows..lol

    That's true, too. They are entirely different things. I think other factors make it pretty obvious he was dodging the drug test, but the tattoo in and of itself is pretty far from proof positive.

    It wasn't a problem it was in the contract from the beginning. When it became a problem was when they realized it would be random. Nobody indicted Pac but himself.
