¿Pacquiao le temerá a una prueba de esteroides?

La negativa del filipino Manny Pacquiao de aceptar la petición de Floyd Mayweather Jr., de someterse a pruebas de sangre previas a su combate ha arrancado dudas en algunos amantes de este deporte. Ahora el ex campeón wélter Miguel Cotto lanza sus interrogantes al respecto.





Mediante una comunicación escrita, Cotto declaró que ésta es la oportunidad perfecta para que Pacquiao pueda disipar todos los rumores alrededor de su figura y del uso de esteroides.

"Su negativa para someterse a las pruebas sin condiciones ciertamente levanta preguntas", dijo Cotto en declaraciones recogidas por Primera Hora. Agregó, "estoy completamente temeroso ante la reacción de Manny sobre este asunto. Siempre ha sido un excelente atleta y un caballero. ¿Por qué está solicitando restricciones o condiciones a las pruebas?"



Hace pensar a cualquiera que la máquina filipina oculta algo, aunque nadie, nadie lo esté asegurando. Son todas únicamente especulaciones que el campeón Pacquiao podría despejar con aceptar una prueba de dopaje, ¿no creen?

Pero Cotto no sólo está a favor de que Manny se haga las pruebas, sino que apoya que ambos peleadores sean sujetos a rigurosas exámenes.

"Las pruebas de drogas al estilo de unas Olimpiadas son la herramientas más eficientes para asegurar que se juegue limpio en el deporte del boxeo. Mi recomendación es que todas las autoridades alrededor del mundo implementen un sistema similar. Yo aceptaría hacerlo sin pensarlo o reservas. Es la única manera en que se pueda asegurar el resultado de un combate de esta magnitud según las condiciones y habilidades de cada cual. Tratar de magnificar las habilidades con drogas es repulsivo", sentenció Cotto.

El púgil puertorriqueño fue completamente sometido por Pacquiao en noviembre pasado en el MGM Grand de Las Vegas. Esta pelea, denominada por muchos 'la pelea del año', generó más de 1.3 millones de compras a través del sistema de pay per view.
