Nevada State Athletic Commission demanded urine test
The urine sample of Manny Pacquiao will be sent to Malaysia for testing and it should take as much as two weeks before a finding can be made by the laboratory there, top sports doctor Alex Pineda said Saturday.
Pacquiao was compelled to provide his urine sample on orders from the Nevada State Athletic Commission, which is trying to save the Filipino’s megabuck match with Floyd Mayweather from being totally scrapped.
Pineda drew Pacquiao’s samples last Dec. 30 when he flew to General Santos City for that sole purpose and it is due for shipment tomorrow to the Pusat Kawalan Doping Center in the city of Penang, which is accredited by the World Anti-Doping Agency.
Pineda, who is head of the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC)-Philippine Center for Sports Medicine doping control unit, said he sent a “number-coded specimen” for the sake of confidentiality and the official laboratory results will first be forwarded to him.
PSC chairman Harry Angping said Pineda is one of the best in his chosen field.
Mayweather is demanding that Pacquiao undergo stricter testing for their proposed March 13 bout to take place.
Pacquiao has strongly denied ever using performance-enhancing drugs as he went to the extent of filing a defamation suit against Mayweather as well as Golden Boy Promotions executives Oscar De La Hoya and Richard Schaefer in a bid to clear his name.
The 31-year-old Pacquiao, the first fighter to win seven world titles in as many weight classes, said his huge success in the ring is a product of hardwork and strict diet.
