So Freddie Roach trained James Toney when Toney failed his drug test. Does this mean that all of Roach's fighters should be held to a higher standard of drug testing or have a cloud of suspicion above them? Going back to a previous answer I posted, Tony LaRussa was the manager for the Oakland A's when Canseco supposedly injected McGwire's bare a$s with steroids, and he was the manager during the time of McGwire's admitted to steroids. Joe Torre is the manager of the Los Angelos Dodgers and Manny Ramirez tested positive for PED's. Should THEIR TEAMS be subjected to drug testing above and beyond what is required of everyone else in MLB? This isn't a question on whether more stringent blood testing is good for the sport (I agree that more stringent drug testing is always good), but should the Saint Louis Cardinals and the LA Dodgers be subjected to randomized drug testing above and beyond what other teams are required because LaRussa and Torre both had players test positive for PED's? Dewey - I know I know...Manny's a FAKE JUICEHEAD. But let's have a constructive discussion, valid points are always welcome. RicLopez - great video, but completely avoided the question. Please stick to the question at hand. Yes, the Pac camp has contradicted themselves on numerous occasions, but so has the Mayweather camp. That wasn't my question. Aaron - go back to answering questions on apple pie or apple juice. You didn't even read my question...just the title and you assumed that I was implying that Pac was using PED's, which, if you pay any attention to this site, I never have. Run along son. Carytop - yes, if you don't show up for a required drug testing it's like failing. But when did Pac not show up for a REQUIRED drug test? Please enlighten us all. Still didn't answer my question. SirVon - as I've stated before, more stringent drug testing is good for any sport. But my question was regarding whether or not it's fair to single out two teams, the LA Dodgers and Saint Louis Cardinals. I agree, that denying "voluntary" drug testing doesn't look good for Pac, and yes, boxing will be better if it had more stringent blood testing for everybody...not just Pac, Mosley, or whoever Floyd fights next. BTW - You're right, not everyone has unfavorable views of Pacquiao are "haters". I've never stated that and you can look at all of my answers to verify that. But like Mayweather, Pac does have "haters' that will never be satisfied regardless of what either boxer does. Apparently Aaron doesn't know I'm a Pac Fan because according to him I should - "GET A LIFE, YOU LITTLE PUNK *** ****** NERD! GOT IT, BOY? MANNY IS BEST FIGHTER IN WORLD AND W ILL KILL FLOYD! IT IS YOU WHO DIES DRUGS, FOOL! GO TO A DETOX CENTER, AND GET YOUR PANSY *** OFF METH" Dewey - for the first time ever, EVER, I gave you a thumbs up. Mainly because it's hard to argue your answer, or maybe this JUICE HEAD thing has finally worn me down. SirVon- true...terrorist ruined it for everybody...But EVERYBODY is subjected to that. What if it was JUST YOU who was subjected to taking off your shoes, no liquids, etc. Like I said, more stringent blood testing is great for boxing, but it should be for EVERYBODY, not single one man, or one man demanding it of all his opponents....
