    This is my first post and thought I would add my opinion.

    My thoughts mirror a couple of other posters on here. For the sake of boxing I really hope he hasn't been taking PED's. Boxing seems to be rising in popularity at the minute and Manny is one of the reasons for this. If he's guilty of taking PED's then it will really tarnish this sport.

    Manny's been in some great fights and I've come to admire him for the way he fights and his behaviour outside of the ring. For me, there is still no conclusive evidence that PAC has been taking anything other than a few people making some noises. That's not enough to go on for me to call someone a cheat. However his reluctance to take these tests does raise some eyebrows and the fuss that he's kicking up certainly looks like someone who "may" have something to hide. He could have other motives for not wanting to take the tests. I'm not a professional athlete so I wouldn't understand these, but to me, they do seem pretty feeble excuses.

    I don't have the first idea about PED's and testing but hasn't Manny come out and said he will give 3 blood tests? One when the fight is announced, one 30 days before the fight and the last one coming straight after the fight? I'm sure someone who is more clued up on PED's might put me straight here but if the statement PAC said was true about taking the 3 tests is there anyway he could take PED's between training, flush it out of his system 30 days before the fight and then take them again and flush them out in time for after the fight without being detected?

    Ultimately it seems like a lot of fuss other something fairly insignificant but I'm of the stance that someone is innocent until proven guilty. Manny hasn't been found guilty of taking PED's and although his attitude to this is somewhat strange I'm going to say (and hope - for the sake of boxing) that PAC is innocent.

    I'm still confident this fight will go ahead!! Come on Manny, sort it out!
    Welcome to Saddoboxing hope you enjoy your stay. The specifics of cycling certain PEDs have been listed on other posts here recently and should be very easy to find. I think we share the same viewpoint on Pacquiao. I just hope Manny takes the random blood tests which are really no big deal and we get the fight made.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    There's no way Manny has taken enhanced drugs during his domination of fights,he's not the type.Plus with the days when Roy Jones Junior being caught taking enhanced drugs during flutuating in weights throughout his carrer i cant see Roach and Manny risking taking drugs.For me Mayweather knows how to get under his opponants skin and its working on Manny this time around,Mayweather knows it would cause upraw and he knows that the only opponant that can beat him is Manny!

    Yvonne, I agree with you that Floyd is smart but I think you're giving him WAY too much credit on this one. This goes back to what one of the posters said earlier. This is a pride thing. This is about Manny not wanting Floyd to dictate to him what he has to do. That's why they're taking this to the NSAC. From what I've been reading, Golden Boy will state their case before the NSAC as to why they want this random blood testing done and who they want it done by, then Manny's camp will state their case. Whatever the NSAC decides after that, I've read, Manny will adhere to. He just wants it coming from a boxing governing body, not Floyd. In some instances I'm not sure I blame Manny for being a little paranoid. Golden Boy is becoming (or has already become) the new Don King.

    Which is a bit foolish considernig all the demands Manny asks for. He did the same vs Miguel Cotto.
