Just as the driver can drive away into the night, the fighter can then get his career high payday. You don't just drive down backstreets in the hope that there are no cops and where you will only pass people driving Top Rank cars. That to me indicates drink driving.
There is already the random urine drug test that is required and that both boxers has to go through. The disagreement was with the blood drug test protocol.

People who are driving can be stopped by the police if there is a violation and can be asked to perform an alcohol breathe test if there is a suspicion that they are drunk. Why, can the cops in your country make you do the alcohol breathe test in the absence of any suspicion?

My question to you: Do you find Manny's accomplishment to be extra ordinary, average or not spectacular at all? Did you ever give any excuse as to why Manny's opponent lost?
The police in this country do stop people randomly after a certain time in the evenings and I think it is a good idea considering so many like to drink and drive out here. So, in my instance the analogy fits. I don't know how it is in other countries.

Manny's recent achievements have been spectacular. Marquez had his way with Manny only a few years ago and it took an age for him to get Diaz out of there and here he is marching up through the weights stopping bigger men with ease and busting them up badly. I would never have had any suspicions had it not been for their response to the demand of random drug testing. The refusal to go through with a mega fight over such a silly issue has cast doubt upon everything Manny has ever achieved.

If I refused to give a breath sample the cops would assume that I was trying to hide something, it's the same here. Manny's refusal to give random samples makes him look very suspicious. All it took was a simple "yes" and an impish grin and the fight would have been on. The lies that came with the refusal to give blood only deepened the question marks. Mosley has managed to go through with the testing proving it's not a big deal unless you make it a big deal. Manny comes off looking bad, and in the eyes of many, is like or not tarnished as a man who refused/couldn't prove he was for real.
The police may be able to stop the people randomly but would they be able to demand alcohol breath test without any suspicion? Not in this country.

I don't blame people for having such suspicions because of the way Manny responded to the request for the blood drug test. But, remember that there are people who also became suspicious that Floyd even demanded such in the first place. They, somehow, both tarnished their image.

If the cops requested breath sample from somebody, it is because they have a suspicion that the person may be drunk. A person being asked such should not be able to say no because the cop has the authority to demand such. Let's say there is this media person who hitched a ride in the cop car. You were stopped by that police and that media person is the one demanding that you subject yourself to the breath test. Would you? Some people would probably say yes but, let's be honest, some posters in here would not. I would not.
Mosley will agree to any demand just to be in a megafight. Wasn't he even willing to go down to a ridiculous weight just to have a chance with Pacquiao? And besides, he already admitted to such use and that's the only way he came somehow make himself look clean.
