Nevada Orders
Testing For Pacquiao & Mayweather
And They Mean Get It Done NOW!
As reported by The Los Angeles Times at 3:36 pm Monday
afternoon, the chairman of the Nevada State Athletic
Commission has ordered Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather
Jr. to take immediate out-of-competition urine tests.
Nevada Athletic Commission Chairman Pat Lundvall ordered
Executive Director Keith Kizer to direct Mayweather and
Pacquiao to accredited drug-testing labs in the United
States and Philippines, respectively, for tests that must be
completed by Wednesday, Kizer told The Times.
The tests will be paid for by Nevada and are consistent with
World Anti-Doping Agency guidelines, Kizer said.
"It's a start," Kizer said. "Whether it's the end, I don't
know."
In other words, the drug tests have been ordered to be taken
in quick fashion and that's all well and good but
considering what we have seen so far this leaves a lot of
unresolved issues, not to mention the fact that there is no
guarantee the fighters will submit before this Wednesday's
deadline.

Boxing World Turns.
