Nothing seems to happen after every Pacquaio fight so what is the beef?
What your missing is the tests they have in place now are bullshit and many people got away with cheating via steroids, peds, HGH and whatever else it might be.
Good reading below
The world's foremost expert on performance enhancing drugs,UCLA professor and researcher Dr. Donald Catlin, has supported Mayweather's position. Dr. Catlin is, essentially, the man who busted BALCO.
You can stop using HGH for one day, just one day, and you can be clean in any test. They can use EPO one day and then it can be gone by noontime the next day. All the drugs are different, all have different windows (for detection). All we can do is to keep upping the ante, making the tests more random and stronger.
Manny is afraid to test. The very same testing that over 11,000 athletes (including Kobe Bryant, Lance Armstrong, LeBron James, Usain Bolt and the entire Filipino team) have undergone. Track star Tyson Gay was tested 28 times last year. Pacquiao fears this type of testing.
The allegations of Pacquiao's use of performance enhancing drugs are not baseless:
Where there's smoke...: Manny trains under the tutelage of Freddy Roach. Freddy was the trainer of James Toney during the period when Toney tested positive for steroids - twice. Roach also trained and maintains close personal relationships with Mickey Rourke and Sylvester Stallone, two known steroid users. Additionally, Roach owns and runs the Wild Card Gym in Hollywood. Out of this gym, he has supervised a plethora of fighters with dirty body chemistry, namely Lucia Rijker and a coterie of MMA fighters.
Sudden performance gains: While Pacquiao has long been an elite level fighter, he recently connected with conditioning guru Alex Ariza and suddenly and dramatically improved his performance to all-time great levels. It strikes many boxing insiders as odd that the same fighter who was rattled by Juan Manuel Marquez and beaten by Erik Morales at 130 pounds is now dominating full-sized 147 pounders like Miguel Cotto. This type of late-career surge is reminiscent of Barry Bonds. Is it reasonable to believe that Manny and Ariza suddenly found a "special blend of supplements" (Ariza's words) that make Manny indestructible? Personally speaking, if I found this Holy Grail of vitamins, I would bottle and sell it ...while I spend the rest of my days lounging in seaside villas.
It's all in the reaction: Manny was given the opportunity to refute the mounting evidence against him. Instead, he has taken a predictable tactic of other steroid users: sue. As Shane Mosley, Roger Clemens and Marion Jones before him, Pacquiao has opted to file a defamation lawsuit. This is the worst possible company to be in. Rather than taking the tests, Manny prefers to be litigious than to be pugilistic.
The excuses don't hold water: In refusing the blood tests, the embattled Filipino boxer has brought forward a series of excuses that have all been shot down. Initially, he said that he was "afraid of needles". This was preposterous, as Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions, quickly noted that Pacquiao has many tattoos. Then, it was said that blood testing "weakens" a fighter. Well, both fighters will undergo the same testing. Wouldn't Floyd also be affected? Additionally, the amount of blood taken is about a teaspoon. The body replenishes that quantity of blood within an hour. With 11,000 athletes undergoing doping tests at the Beijing Olympics, we continued to see improved athletic performances. Besides, have you heard a single one of those elite athletes - including anyone from the Philippines - complain previously about being weakened?
Mayweather, Roy Jones, Oscar Delahoya and Andre Ward are examples of boxers who fought in the Olympics and were subject to the strictest testing possible. But Pacquiao has refused.
The Filipino culture: The Philippines is one of the poorest and most corrupt countries in the Pacific Rim. The international community has vilified the Philippines for their morally abhorrent practices in the dogmeat trade. Commercially, this island nation lags far behind Japan and Korea. Best known as a tourist destination for prostitution, and mail-order brides, the Philippines is fast becoming known for the drug trade as well. You need only to pop over to the Steroid Pinoy or Sulit websites to see that the Philippines embraces the use of steroids, where they are dispensed over the counter and cheap. Much of it is imported from neighboring China where laboratories are rampant.
Filipino WWE wrestler Batista is a steroid user and is closely aligned with Manny Pacquiao.
The most obvious answer is most often the right answer: people who are trying to hide something usually have something to hide. Manny Pacquiao is aggressively avoiding rigorous drug testing. In an era where we have seen our best athletes ensnared within the net of steroid use.
What are you hiding, Manny? Take the tests. Make the fight. Prove that you are clean.

Love how the Pactards use Floyd as the scapegoat. No middle ground, no seeing the other view. Yha Pac is God of course he wouldn't do anything wrong.
