First of all, you mean short-sighted not short-sided.

Secondly, you're right environment makes a big difference. But, it's not like Pac has been living on the streets of Manilla & training in a hut the past 7 or 8 years. He's been training out in Hollywood, he's one of the richest men in his country & he's promoted by arguably the most powerful promoter in boxing, Bob Arum. He's really not struggling for contacts if he were to want to take steroids.

Again, I don't believe he did it, but let's not act like the Phillipines is the most pure country in the world, whilst all in the US are corrupt cheating whores. It makes no difference where someone comes from, they're both in the same business & of similar profile.
Yes, I agree it is possible that Pacquiao could have done something but I don't believe it either. So I do get your point that Pacquiao presents outside the Philippines he could have been exposed to some substance.

Holy crap dude! What the hell you got against the Philippines? The Philippines is one of the most corrupt places I know, but the poor are really poor. They wouldn't know what the hell you are talking about when you said steroids let alone the more sophisticated designer drugs genetically engineered to avoid detection. That shit comes from developed worlds. And that is my point. It is "less likely" for Pacquiao to have come in contact with the stuff than Mayweather so if an argument is going to be made for for someone using the shit its a better premise for Mayweather than Pacquiao. And I'm not saying Mayweather Jr. does the shit either. And I'm not saying the US is a place of corrupt cheating whores, although some of the most successful ones are in the US. Except for Margacheato.
