Pacquiao tests negative for steroids
MANILA, Philippines - Pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao is not taking steroids, based on the results of his drug tests released by the Nevada Sports Athletic Commission (NSAC).
Keith Kizer of the NSAC told ABS-CBN News on Saturday that Pacquiao has tested negative for performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs), including steroids.
Kizer said Pacquiao's counterpart, American Floyd Mayweather Jr., has also tested negative for drugs.
Pacquiao's laboratory tests were done in his hometown in General Santos, but were sent to Malaysia while Mayweather Jr.'s testing was done in Las Vegas and sent to Arizona.
The results came out 9 days after talks for the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight collapsed after both camps failed to resolve their differences over random drug testing.
Pacquiao, the only 7-division world champion, is now slated to fight Ghanaian Joshua Clottey at the NFL Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas on March 13.
Reports, meanwhile, said that Mayweather Jr. will also have a fight on the same date. However, the reports said Golden Boy Promotions has yet to find an opponent for the American fighter, who has not lost a fight.
‘Floyd blew it’
Thousands of boxing fans were disappointed after the most anticipated fight of the year between Pacquiao and Mayweather did not push through.
Among those who was looking forward to the fight is Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White, who had a spat with Mayweather after the American boxer claimed in 2007 that mixed martial arts fighters can't handle boxing.
“I think [Floyd] blew this fight,” White said in a report by 5thRound.com.
“When another fighter starts dictating a drug test, first of all, Pacquiao’s never tested positive for any drug but Floyd’s going to make him go through drug testing? That’s ridiculous,” he said.
White was referring to Mayweather’s demand to have Pacquiao undergo an Olympic-style drug test, which, in effect, sent a message that the Filipino might have been using PEDs.
White said that like other fight fans, he wants to see the Pacquiao-Mayweather match.
“I want to see this fight. I’m dying to see this fight.”
White said Floyd should have left the drug testing issue to the athletics commission to decide. “That’s what the commission is there for.”
“The athletic commission is there for the safety of the fighters. They drug test, they blood test, they do all those other things. For another fighter to be calling out another fighter for some type of blood work is [expletive] crazy. Just [expletive] train for the fight and fight; that’s what everybody wants to see,” he added.
There have been speculations that Mayweather Jr. avoided the face-off with Pacquiao for fear that his clean boxing record would be stained by the Filipino boxer. -- Report from Bev Llorente, ABS-CBN North America News Bureau



It's crazy testing Pacquiao
It's crazy testing Pacquiao for steroids... He only takes gulay and fish. hahahaha
depends on what were they looking for
Sometimes they have to do specific searches in order to detect a specific steroid, as dianabol. I remember not being able to compete because of it but my trainer told the officials about it saving me from being expelled.
Thanks
Thanks God Pacquiao is not only clean but in great health and condition, passing the pre-fight physical with flying colors. During the pre-fight physical examination for the Manny Pacquiao vs. Joshua Clottey fight at Dallas Cowboy stadium in Dallas, Texas, the ring physician took Pacquiao’s vital signs and his Blood Pressure was – 116/64 and he had a resting Heart Rate of 43 BPM (beats-per-minute).

hindi na nga mahirap si manny pero hindi ibig sabihin ay puyde na niyang gagawin ang alam niyang bawal, ang hanapbuhay niya ay nasa boksing at hindi naman siguro siya stupido na sirain ang kanyang hanapbuhay dahil sa drugs, maybe hindi mo siya napanood nong nagsisimula pa lang siya sa blow by blow, sabi ng isang commentator ay pinakyaw na ni manny ang lahat ng laban niya ang lakas niya ay natural kahit pa noong napakaliit at payat pa niya ay pinagtutumba na niya ang kanyang mga kalaban, kaya hindi ako nagdududa diyan sa PEDs na yan dahil napanood ko na siya noong nagsimula pa lamang siya.
Got Your Back PAC!
Hey Manny,
Most American Boxing Fans got your back. I grew up a big boxing fan, in fact my Father named me after Cassius Clay (My name is Clay). I grew up watching Boxing and stopped during the late 80's and early nineties. I am a personal friend of Lamar Clark the ex-boxer who still holds the record for most consecutive knockouts in a row. Unfortunatley he died in November of 2006. But he really admired You and You got me watching Boxing again. I appreciate your strength in not giving in to Mayweathers testing ploy. No Olympic Athlete has ever tested positive for HGH in blood test, so why change for it? After your upcoming Victory over Clottey and Dallas, I hope Bob Arum makes it clear during your Press Conference that if anyone wants to see you fight Mayweather, That you will adhere to any and ALL requirements of NSAC and no one else. Thanks again for making boxing enjoyable again and Hope to meet you in Dallas.

pinoy 27 haven't u read all about these stuff?
Right now, another Canadian Doctor of sports medicine whose clinic is located in Etobicoke, Ontario was charged by the RCMP for possession of PED and among his noted patients are Donavan Bailey, the Olympic Medalist and Tiger Wood..The case is now before the Court. And did you say, Pacquiao in later days can not afford? I did not specifically said he was into PED, but do not discount the Possibilities that anyone of them, including Mayweather may end like the Mcgwire, the Canseco, the Jones, who were not caught during their playing years. you do not have to be an expert to know what were in the Headlines. All these personalities have their own moments of Glory.

Hindi na mahirap si Manny. He can afford steroids if he wants to..
Anyways, I don't think Manny is or has ever taken steroids. But unless, you're with him 24/7, no one can never be 100% certain. Or you were right there with Alex Ariza when he was mixing those stuff that he makes Manny drink then you'll know never know for certain.

Napakasakit talaga nuh when someone tells you a fact? Sa boxing community tawag nila sa fan na katulad mo is "Pactard". Pactards are Pacquiao fans who know nothing about boxing except for Manny and are incapable of making unbiased statements and most especially can't handle the truth.
josh5 is right. He doesn't have to be an expert. If you're a real sports fan, you'll know for a fact that Marion Jones went through tough Olympic drug testing and never once tested positive. Mark McGwire never tested positive for anything but has just recently admitted that he did take steroids. If you don't believe him, look it up man.
Ever heard of Victor Conte? If you haven't then I'll tell you who he is. Victor Conte is the Father of Sports Steroids. He specifically designed his steroids to beat testing protocols. His clients include Barry Bonds, Marion Jones, Shane Mosley, and many more athletes, none of them ever tested positive. In his recent interviews, testing in boxing is outdated and he's right. If there's anyone in this planet who knows steroids inside out, it's him. Shane Mosley never tested positive for steroids but he admitted to using it when he fought Dela Hoya.
When it comes to PEDs and testing protocols, its been a cat and mouse game. PED experts are making drugs to beat testing while Testing experts are making testing to catch steroids. Everytime testers find a way to detect PEDs, the PED makers are constantly finding ways to beat the system.
Sakit talaga pag ang opinion ang ibang tao ay iba sa iyo? Hindi lang ikaw ang pwede mag sabi nang opinion mo. You can make your own opinion, I can make my opinion, josh5 can make his, and so does everyone else. Kung hindi mo kaya ihandle ang opinion nang ibang tao, then you need to shut the f**k up. Welcome to real world! If you want to make it in this world stop being naive..
Really josh 5?
Are you an expert on this thing? If not, you better close your mouth and shut the f*** up. Manny has brought back the interests and excitement in the boxing world after a long slumped. Now, he has broken a world record of having 7-division world champion and you still doubt it? If you don't know by the way, Manny started his life as a poor boy and worked hard from there, so I don't think Manny could afford steroids and those drugs for the athletes. Kaning lamig lang ang katapat nyo, Hehehehe!
