I mean it wasnt like he gained monstrous proportions of muscle, speed and stamina. The only thing that was not in the norm about pac was that he stayed the same. The problem is that people tend to generalize things. This results in paranoia, racism, stereotyping and many more negative aspects about human society. Why do you think we have wars and why do you think people have been cautious whenever there are muslims around? Since 9/11 paranoia about muslims has set in. Its the same principle as now. The trend of since sportsmen of the past like Clemens, Bonds and etc have cheated and taken steroids you instantly stereotype that everyone who does outrageous accomplishments MUST be cheating. I do agree that him not agreeing to random tests raises doubts BUT it doesnt instantly mean hes guilty. If I were you, you should put yourself in manny's place. What if someone was DEMANDING you to do things that were this unprecedented. As a fellow filipino i know the feeling of someone telling me what to do will piss me off no matter how calm a person like pacquiao is. ESPECIALLY SO if he is a foreigner who has no idea how our culture runs/operates. People should stop accusing pac and read up on the facts first.
If an American athlete refused USADA testing, said he'd only take sceduled testing, called the USADA corrupt and said he didn't trust them to carry out any tests they'd be destroyed overnight by the American media. If they refused to take tests for as long as Manny already has their career would be over.
