MMA trainer Mike Dolce says IV's are not banned by the athletic commissions.
Exactly, they aren't. It's amazing how many people are running their mouths without knowing the facts.
The NSAC DOES NOT BAN IV USE. It's USADA that bans it's use.
People are saying "I've never heard of an athlete needing an IV."
Well these people are ignorant. IV use has been WIDE SPREAD in MMA (including the UFC) for YEARS.
IV use is not prohibited by the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
USADA bans IV use but granted Mayweather an exemption.
No rules were broken, no punishment will come.
Mayweather is TBE, no fighter has ever accomplished what he has. He embarrassed Pac, he whipped everyone put in front of him.
OJ Simpson got found NOT GUILTY and the reputation still followed him. Same with Floyd. He has been exposed. Hes a cheat and will always be remembered as a fuking cheat.
There's no more evidence that Mayweather was using PEDs there is for Pac.
Earlier today on ESPN Radio Max and Marcellus
Max talks about Floyd's Testosterone/Epitestosterone ratio.
Avg white man 1.2 to 1 T/E.
Avg. black man 1.3 to 1 T/E.
WADA allows athletes to have T/E ratio as high as 4.0 to 1.
Floyd's T/E in previous tests was 0.69 to 1 and 0.8 to 1.
Low ratio of T/E is a red flag for PED use because it indicates "MASKING" to hide/lower high testosterone levels.
Well what has to be acknowledged is that your T/E ratio fluctuates, even throughout the day.
Hard physical training, stress, lack of sleep, ect can throw your T/E ratio out of whack.
Floyd's advanced age (your testosterone gradually starts to lower once you hit 30 or so) and his intense cardio training could explain the low reading.
So could masking.
People will take whichever side they choose to, but we're unlikely to ever get the truth.
Only absolute fools think or believe Congress is going to get involved. Keep in mind USADA also cleared Mayweather and they are the official anti-doping agency of the United States, sponsored by the United States gov.
Exactly. I have to laugh at everyone calling for punishment. The NSAC allows IV use and USADA gave Floyd an exemption. There's nothing to investigate, it's an open and shut case.
I've been in athletics my entire life all the way through college both coaching and playing. I have never once seen a athlete take an IV to rehydrate.
WADA specifically sites the encouraged risk with the use of IVs for re-hydration in weight classification sports in it reasoning for banning the method.

Well jeez if your wealth of high school and college sports experience says so.... lol
Look at MMA: UFC fighters have been using IV's to rehydrate for years now. An IV ban is something USADA has only recently put into place.
That video brings even more questions. So Bennett was against USADA giving TUE since according to him, only NSAC can provide TUE in Nevada.
Yeah but it's a tricky situation because yes, only NSAC can grant TUE's, but that only applies to substances and practices that it bans.
The NSAC doesn't ban the use of an IV, so how can they expect to hand out a TUE for something that they themselves don't ban?
I have Kovalev stopping him in the late rounds, RJJ will win the early rounds but Kovalev will adjust, stalk him, and land devastating power shots that will break Roy.
What a joke.
RJJ beats the breaks off of any man in the history of the 175lb division.
Dempsey is a good example. Gene Tunney, Max Schmeling... heroes of their era.
Hero's of their era for sure.
Dempsey and Gene ducked black fighters though. I read Gene wouldn't even spar with blacks. No hero's of mine.
for sure. clean fighters always setup drug testing programs that give them exceptions to cheat(but not their opponents) and clean fighters always get caught using 15 times the legal amount of iv fluid to mask their PED use. lance armstrong was just dehydrated too
NSAC doesn't prohibit IV usage.
USADA prohibits IV usage, but gave Floyd a TUE.
I don't see what the issue is. :bottle:
I think anyone who says yes needs to watch a lot more boxing before commenting on something like this.
Judah got up and his legs were gone and flying all over the place, he fell flat on his stomach and the ref waved it off like he should. He got up to his feet but his legs still weren't under him and if the ref wasn't holding onto his arms he would have fell back into the ropes.
Good stoppage.
Jack won the fight fair and square. Groves has always been overrated, he's a decent fighter but he can't cut the mustard at the top level. Froch proved that twice and now Jack reinforced it.
Floyd's fans will follow BOXING, because fans of Floyd appreciate the art of the Sweet Science.
The guys who hate Floyd and cry about how boring he is, these are morons who have no understanding of boxing. All their minds can comprehend is someone getting punched hard and going unconscious. That's why they only watch GGG and Kovalev. Don't get me wrong, I love those guys too, but I also appreciate the Sweet Science.
So Floyd haters, keep talking about IV's and the fact that he never fought Margacheato (slow bum who had 0.0001% chance against Floyd lol). Keep going back and watching your Mike Tyson reruns for the 10,000th time because you don't understand boxing.
Why Gonzalez? Nobody heard of the guy before his HBO debut this year. Who has he beaten really?
Wlad has ruled his division for 10 years now. Wlad is #1 p4p and STILL undisputed.
