Ben Cousins has pulled out of a charity fight with Mundine allegedly becuase he found out he has to take a blood test..

Here's the link...

If he's clean, why refuse a blood test?

Nice to see you put your own spin on the article. He did not refuse a blood test and we dont know the reason he pulled out was because of the test.

I have heard that Ricky Nixon has been pushing for him to pull out of the fight ever since he announced that we would participate. So maybe that was the reason. Or maybe it was nothing but a publicity stunt by the Mundine crew.

Look i have to admit that was the first thought that popped into my head when i read the articles yesterday but these are not facts so lets not pretend they are.

honestly, why else would he pull out after being told he'd have to take a blood test?

True, though... not proven...shouldn't shout guilty until proven otherwise... but the papers have..

i read somewhere that he has to register with NSW boxing or something and then take blood tests and everything. i don't think he, his family and his manager were too keen!

He pulled out AFTER finding out about drug tests.

One would think if you were innocent you would do move heaven and earth to prove your innocence. He has admitted he has a drug problem obviously his rehab was not as successful as he would have us believe.

Like most addicts they wont change until they've hit rock bottom. Keep going Benny boy you're getting there.

If Cuzzy has pulled out does that mean the programmed fight has been put on ice? :lol:

He refused the blood test because he thought he might not be up to speed.
