Are there similarities between PED accusations against Pacquiao and...?
"birther" theories against Obama?
Obama submitted all the REQUIRED forms and documentation to prove he was born in the United States. Because he's a different color than all the other Presidents we've had, his critics formulated a theory that he was born in another country, with absolutely no proof. The sentiment grew with member of the public on the side of the critics. They demanded that he make his full birth certificate available to the public. He finally does to shut everyone up. All in all, his critics made a baseless accusation and demanded he prove his innocence although he's done everything that was required of everyone else.
Manny Pacquiao has passed every single drug test the state athletic commissions have required him to take. Because he's had success moving up in weight classes, his critics (the Mayweather clan) made accusations that he was cheating by using PED's. The accusations and sentiments grew with Mayweather fans. They demand that he subject himself to testing above and beyond required of every other boxer. After a bunch of back and forth, Pacquiao finally agrees to stricter testing. All in all, his critics made a baseless accusation and demanded he prove his innocence although he's done everything that was required of everyone else.
Do you think these "birther" accusations and PED's accusations are similar and parrallel? Do you think Obama should have had to prove he was born in this country by releasing his FULL birth certificate going above and beyond what was required? Do you think that Pacquiao should have to agree to random blood testing and go above and beyond what is required to prove his innocence?
Thoughts?
Soriano - you must have me confused with someone else because I have never talked racist smack about anyone...not hispanics, blacks or asians...did I strike a nerve? You seem to be all worked up!
BTW - Soriano, my profile is public, so please feel free to hyperlink any question I've answered with "racist smack" to prove me wrong. Or is this a baseless accusation...much like Money's accusations of Pac being on PED's...OH THE IRONY!

There are similarities, Floyd Mayweather is a money grabbing racist scumbag that made pointless allegations towards a good man in Manny Pacquiao, Donald Trump is also a money grabbing racist scumbag that made pointless allegations towards a good man in Barack Obama.

no longer likely BTW---i became into in basic terms 10 yet remember observing the Watergate hearings till Nixon resigned! ultimately neither what Nixon did or what you declare Obama did evaluate to the certainty Bush disregarded terrorism till 9/11/2001!

What is similar with Manny and Obama is that in the case of Manny he was a non American and a stereotype of an Asian who is triumphant in a foreign land, in the case of Obama he was the first to enter the White House which is not a typical white. Both are in my opinion aside from their exceptionable victory in their respective careers, both are victims of you know it- racism. With all due respect I think whites in the US don't really buy this thing the first African American president and so as Manny who is not you typical African American great boxer. Both excel in their respective positions but haters are haters and whether both of them like it or not they must deal with this social psychology.

to a person being accused....there's no sweeter moment than him not only been proven right but his accusers being punished.....but ironically, to pac, it's not as simple as showing his birth cert to the public....he have to experience again the same ordeal he took during his 1st fight w/ erik morales...
but still he agreed to do it....and yet it aint enough...not until he brings floyd w/ him inside the ring....that's the only way he can prove his innocense and at the same time, punish his accuser..

Jeff Soriano needs to get laid. Too much anger build up. Maybe his mom is available.
@Jeff - sorry douchebag. But ripping your mom a new one and playing with yourself doesn't count as getting A$$.

Yes they're very much similar. The accusations are coming from people who don't have a trace of credibility in their body.
