Eddie Hearn claims there is a lot of speculation about Manny Pacquiao being a drug cheat

Manny Pacquiao knocked Keith Thurman down in the first round and then proceeded to dominate for most of the fight. Eddie Hearn has claimed that 'people' think the 40-year-old is cheating. Speaking after the fight, Hearn, as quoted by Boxingnews24.com, said: "Amazing really. Manny Pacquiao is getting older, but he’s getting faster, stronger and better and bigger. So yeah, amazing. He’s obviously training hard, isn’t he? "When a guy has never failed a drug test, you can’t start accusing Manny Pacquiao of being a drug cheat. But there’s a lot of speculation, and there has been over the years around that. "So if there’s speculation, why would you not just sign up with VADA? There’s an easy way to just quash any speculation, any rumours, any finger pointing, and that’s to say, ‘Look, guys, I’m signed to VADA for 14 weeks, VADA testing for my whole camp.'"
