With all due respect to Al...but he is just turning a blind eye to a subject that needs to be addressed. Whether Floyd demanded the tests as a smear campaign or because of genuine concern (or maybe both) may not be clear to some. But Manny, fair or not, has had the issue of PED's surround him before this fight was even being discussed. There clearly needs to be stricter and much more advanced drug testing in ALL sports. But if you are an athlete who is being suspected...and you have nothing to hide...why not take all the tests and shut up all your critics? Pride?! Morals?! Because it weakens you physically?!!!!! And on top of all that you walk away from 40 million dollars!!!!! It doesn't pass the smell test one bit. The PED problem in sports is so large (baseball has already revealed it's depth). If tomorrow...sports organizing bodies forced their athletes to take the most advanced drug tests (like muscle biopsy)...you very well would have a who's who's list of superstar names guilty. Floyd is no angel. But all team PAC has done, is to make the cloud of suspicion over Manny that much darker.
