Mayweather also applied for, and was given, a the****utic use exemption (TUE) for rehydration purposes after the May 1 weigh-in. He took two separate mixes. The first was a mixture of 250 ml of saline and multi-vitamins. The second was a 500 ml mixuture of saline...
Saline is commonly used by competitive endurance athletes as a masking agent for PEDs, and Vitamin C can be used to rapidly detoxify various drugs and chemicals from the body. When combined together you have yourself a highly effective method of bypassing a potential positive drug test.
What do Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Lance Armstrong have in common? Both have admitted to using platelet rich plasma therapy, and both have used a saline solution prior to being administered a drug test.
Athletes use drugs, transfusions, and science to perform better. But how do they do it, and how are they caught?

The extra hemoglobin and hematocrit cells that help a racer retain oxygen and avoid fatigue can be watered down below official thresholds by adding a saline solution to the blood within just 20 minutes' notice of an imminent test.

Floyd has never had difficulty cutting weight in previous fights, he's always stepped on the scales looking healthy and hydrated. With that being said, if the saline/multi-vitamin solution was strictly for rehydration purposes, then why would he need to take two mixtures for a single weight cut? A simple IV drip would have sufficed.
