Manny Pacquiao is Not on Steroids or PEDS... Plain and Very Simple

[fan johnny]

He is trying to manipulate when the blood tests are taken. There is no good reason why the testing cannot be random. In this respect he is refusing to comply with what IMO is a sound and reasoned proposal by the Mayweather team. I don't really equate giving blood with the act of copulation, but maybe that's just me. It has been argued already that the inconvenience of giving a little bit of blood a few times during camp, is really going to have very little effect upon Manny's training regime. It's a weak excuse.

Regardless of what fighter wants in the scheduling details for testing, what is it that would not show up in testing after the fight that random test could show? (nothing that wouldn't show up randomly) There is no point to random testing other than to disrupt a routine. In any application it's purpose and intent is to disrupt and not to catch.

From what I understand EPO for example is out of your system in a few days while it's effects last for a week or longer. That is a perfectly good example to answer your question

Well... not really! In fact testing for EPO using blood is actually just to determine if Urine testing is warranted. Using blood they only check to see if there an unusual blood profile, where as with Urine they check for the presents of the EPO drug itself. Point is, with a blood test, nothing other than an unusual blood profile would show up. (If EPO was actually being used) That also includes testing the blood right after the fight since "it's effects last for a week or longer".
