MANILA, Philippines – Juan Manuel Marquez maintained that
he’s steroid-free and that he’s confident that his drug tests in Nevada
will come out clean following his knockout win over Manny Pacquiao.
“I feel very happy with my training, I feel great about the tests,” Marquez told LA Times' Lance Pugmire.
“I won’t have a problem,” he declared.
Speculations came out that he might have used performance enhancing drugs (PED) as he has been working with former steroid peddler and now conditioning coach Angel “Memo” Heredia.
The Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) has collected pre-fight and post-fight urine samples from each fighter. NSAC executive director Keith Kizer said the test results will come out on December 17.
Although Marquez weighed in four pounds lighter than Pacquiao on the eve of the fight, the Mexican looked bulkier because of his muscle mass.
Marquez said he was offended by accusations of PED use, pointing out that he worked “hard for four months in Mexico."
"If I continue fighting, I’d like to do Olympic-style anti-doping tests with my opponent,” he said.
