Pacquiaos camp agreed to take random urine tests all the way up to the fight, which is sufficient to detect EPO abuse EPO Detection - World Anti-Doping Agency
Stimulants are only effectove during the fight so should be detected in the agreed upon post fight test. Not sure if steroids and HGH can be detected using urine tests alone, either way am scepitical about the gains a boxer could make in the winding down period of training. Much more effective during off season which is tested by olympic athletes, yet curiously isn't tested or promoted by PBF (who seems to get bigger every fight) who apparently wants to clean up the sport, and whose followers have not demanded the likes of Marquez-Vazquez-Williams-Cintron-adamek-arreola-pavlik-martinez etc to do so in recent weeks.
14 days was good enough for Mayweather in January, and is sure as hell more than good enough for me (a fan) who wants to the most meaningful fight in recent years actually take fucking place.
