Manny talks

Posted on December 26, 2009 - Filed Under Headliners, Pinoys Extraordinaire

In the aftermath of a fairly recent string of scandals that involved the use of steroids and other performance enhancing drugs among a few sports personalities, it certainly behooves both the Pacquiao and Mayweather camps in the planned March 13 bout to submit to routine drug testing. But for reasons that are perhaps clear only to Floyd Mayweather, Jr. and his father/trainer, they want the Filipino mega-champ to undergo a total of seven random blood tests and 12 urine tests . . . despite the fact that the Nevada Athletic Commission itself only requires a blood test a day before the official press conference, another one 30 days before the fight and a third in the dressing room immediately after the fight.

In the meantime, Manny might really be serious in talking about suing the Mayweathers for defamation due to their oft-repeated charge that the Filipino boxing idol has been helped along the way to the top of his game by steroids.
