The increasing rumour-mill surrounding Manny Pacquiao and any wrong-doing prior to big fights has almost reach a fever pitch in the last few days, with even his last opponent Shane Mosley standing accused of fuelling the fire in the wake of their one-sided May 7th contest in Las Vegas.
WBN can confirm that the Nevada State Athletic Commission have now give the WBO welterweight champion the all-clear from PED’s (performance enhanding drugs), steroids, recreational drugs and diuretics.
The 32 year-old successfully defended his 147lb belt for the second time earlier this month, after which, opponent Mosley was accused of starting a rumour over a sparring partner ‘injecting’ Pacquiao with steroids in the past, something that the Filipino Congressman has denied.
“My lawyers will look into this. So, if they have any evidence, they should present them. My conscience is clear that only hard work has led to my success,” the eight-time world champion told Philstar.com.
Mosley, 39, has faced a barrage of abuse on his Twitter page since the rumour came to light, with Pacquiao fans certain that the accusations lay with the Californian. The three-weight world champion has felt compelled to react to questioning that has been fired at him since the bout.
“I didn’t write or say Pac was on anything. I said the better man won that night, that was some Filipino guy,” Tweeted Mosley.
Pacquaio is already involved in a legal battle with potential opponent Floyd Mayweather and is getting worried that his chances of running for President of the Philippines may be affected by the smear campaign aimed against him. Another court-room battle is probably the last thing that Pacquiao needs inbetween fights, but has vowed to defend his name in the wake of any more allegations.
