Keith Kizer of the Nevada Sports Athletic Commission announced a few days ago that Manny Pacquiao’s drug test results came back clean. The test showed negative for performance enhancing drugs including steroids. But the questions remains will Pacquiao’s latest clean drug test silence his critics?
Unfortunately, we now live in a world where you are guilty until proven innocent. It’s also unfortunate that we live in a world where there has been so many athletes caught using performance enhancing drugs. This brings me to my point, it’s unfortunate that if you are a phenomenal athlete and arguably the best, the critics will say you cheat..
Pacquiao has been accused of taking illegal substances without any proof. In fact, his latest drug test shows one more time that he is innocent. Yet, his critics still accuse him. At first they claim that he is taking PEDs.Then, when clean drug tests come back they say that he’s using something that’s undetected by these tests.
His critics will point out that Shane Mosley fooled the tests for years but recently admitted that he took steroids. So, now that someone else has come out and admitted to tricking the system, these critics will automatically accuse Pacquiao of being a mastermind cheater and tricked the system.
To those critics, Pacquiao’s camp agreed to take blood tests, just not at the demanded times from Mayweather’s camp.
"We agreed with the blood test. Pacquiao can have a blood test after the fight. I mean, if he is using steroids those drugs will remain in his system even after the fight,"... Koncz in an interview with GMA News
So the world’s greatest boxer has never tested dirty, and will take a blood test, but the critics still say he’s guilty and he must be cheating. No matter how many tests come back clean, these critics have a lynch mob mentality and won’t stop until they get what they want and that’s to tear down Pacquiao.
Sometimes sports can sadly reflect the state a of humanity.
