With his fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr. in jeopardy due to a disagreement over pre-fight drug testing, Manny Pacquiao responded today to suggestions that he has used performance-enhancing drugs.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

During a radio interview in October, Mayweather Jr. insinuated Pacquiao may have used drugs due to the Philippines’ supposed reputation for being a large producer of performance-enhancing drugs. Pacquiao has threatened to file a lawsuit against Mayweather over the remark. Floyd Mayweather Sr. and the boxer’s uncle, Jeff Mayweather, have also suggested in interviews that Pacquiao may have used drugs.<\/p>\n

"Liars go to hell. <\/strong>They should be man enough and own up to their words,<\/em>" Pacquiao said in a statement. "For including my country in the picture, claiming that we are the producers of the best performance-enhancing drugs, Mayweather and those who are guilty need to get punished, the sooner, the better, whether it be in the courts or the ring.
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

"Last week, I told Floyd Jr. to shut his big, pretty mouth and that we should fight so that the world will get to see who is the best fighter on the planet."<\/strong>

\nPacquiao also reaffirmed his stance on the drug-testing issue:<\/p>\n

"In all my years of fighting, I have never tested positive for any steroids or performance-enhancing drugs…. I will provide any specimen, whether it be blood or urine samples, just right after the fight but not a day or two before, for obvious reasons."
\n<\/em><\/p>\n


\nManny is all business. Mayweather might literally have his foot put in his mouth!
