No steroids for Pacquiao

By Ramon Aranda, Examiner.com

Floyd Mayweather Sr. made a pretty big accusation weeks ago when he alluded to his thoughts that Manny Pacquiao was on steroids. Only days after Pacquiao’s destruction of Miguel Cotto, once again those rumors came swirling back which included similar thoughts from fighters such as Paulie Malignaggi.

How could Manny Pacquiao keep moving up in weight while remaining solid as a rock and retaining his iron chin against much bigger opponents be possible? Well according to trainer Freddie Roach, Pacquiao “doesn’t even know what a steroid is.” Still, without any proof, the rumors continued to rear their ugly heads and Pacman fans were no doubt growing more and more irritated by such claims.

Pacquiao has never tested positive for steroids and after speaking to Nevada State Athletic Commission’s Keith Kizer earlier this morning; this continues to be the case.

The test results have finally come in and they once again prove that Pacquiao is as clean as a whistle as he has tested negative for any illegal drugs. That of course also includes Miguel Cotto who has also tested negative.

Doubters really need to put themselves in check and simply give credit where credit is due. Pacquiao is more or less at his natural weight right now so the fact that he can look so comfortable at junior welterweight and even welterweight, speaks only to his great conditioning and resilience.

Boxing's pound for pound champ is all natural - case closed.
