Is the Pac-man getting his Barry Bonds on?  The ever so feisty boxing champ is raising a lot of eyebrows and leaving many to suggest that he has something to hide , possibly steroid usage since he refuses to comply with Olympian style random drug testing 30 days prior to his heavily anticipated bout with undefeated boxing champ Floyd Mayweather.

According to a press release issued from Mayweather Promotions,  The drug testing Camp Mayweather is asking for involves random sampling of the athlete’s blood and urine before AND after the fight, so that all banned illegal substances, some of which don’t show up in urine, can be properly tested for.

“Early today Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions, was contacted by Top Rank President Todd duBoef, who informed Schaefer that Pacquiao would not agree to have his blood taken within 30-days of the bout based on the fighter’s superstition of testing so close to a fight.

Schaefer commented, “Todd told me that Pacquiao has difficulty with taking blood and doesn’t want to do it so close to the fight. He, Pacquiao, would only agree to have blood drawn before the kick-off press conference and after the fight.”

“It is unfortunate to hear this from Manny Pacquiao’s representatives, particularly since, as of today, both parties had worked out all other issues related to this fight,” said Schaefer. “Team Mayweather is certainly surprised that an elite athlete like Manny Pacquiao would refuse drug testing procedures which Floyd has already agreed to and have been agreed to by many other top athletes such as Lance Armstrong, and Olympians Michael Phelps, LeBron James and Kobe Bryant.”

Mayweather, who was informed of Pacquiao’s reluctance shortly after Schaefer received word of the impasse, feels Pacquiao has to explain himself immediately or be faced with accusations from the media and the public regarding his own status as a clean and drug free athlete.

“I understand Pacquiao not liking having his blood taken, because frankly I don’t know anyone who really does,” said Mayweather. “But in a fight of this magnitude, I think it is our responsibility to subject ourselves to sportsmanship at the highest level. I have already agreed to the testing and it is a shame that he is not willing to do the same. It leaves me with great doubt as to the level of fairness I would be facing in the ring that night. I hope that this is either some miscommunication or that Manny will change his mind and step up and allow these tests, which were good enough for all these other great athletes, to be performed by USADA.”

Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions said,”We hope that Manny will do the right thing and agree to the testing as it is an egregious act to deny the testing and hence, deny the millions of fans the right to see this amazing fight. We just want to make sure there is a level playing field in a sport that is a man-to-man contest that relies on strength and ability. I still hope this decision is coming from someone in Pacquiao’s camp and not Manny himself as it would be a shame that an athlete of his stature and who represents his whole country would not be able to show the public or his fellow athletes that he agrees to the highest standards in sports competition.”

Not jumping to any conclusions here, but I will say this, If you have nothing to hide why would you put up a fight? Either your afraid of whats going to happen so you give yourself a little “edge”, or your using some “supplements” that are doing a little more than “supplementing”. Either way if you want this to fight to happen your going to have to man up and bite the bullet. Come on Pac, don’t tell me your scared, just give up the damn blood already and quit stalling.
