Not Every Banned Substance Is A PED.

[Francis M.]

floyd uses the saline iv therapy to mask any illegal substance u dunce hahahahahahaha. but even then there was a report he failed 3 times a while ago but that was swept under the rug by usada (again u see usada coming to save floyd...what a good relationship they have). looks like floyd found better methods to mask illegal drugs since then.

ur hero is a FRAUUUD.

TUE will make a failed test a pass according to TMT and USADA agreement.

If you take it before, you won't get dehydrated while moving around the ring and masterclassing your opponent.

So in other words it's a performance enhancing IV. Just think about what you just said. You just contradicted yourself. You claim he's not a PED USER. But you say he took the injections to prevent himself from getting dehydrated during the fight which in turn helps him put on his materclass. Sounds performance enhancing to me. Lol

Anyway I think he took it for masking and covering up reasons not to prevent getting dehydrated during the fight. But either way there is something fishy.

Oscar used iv to rehydrate himself before pacauiao fight, guess he was on PEDS too.

Floyd haters are so pathetic and desperate.

Oscar killed himself to make 147 when he dragged Manny up.



I thought Floyd walks around at 150?

Nothing as per usual, he might talk about Pacquiao being shady but he looks more shadier right now If anything that and members of his team failing drug tests.

USADA Statement on Inaccurate News Reports Regarding the Sport of Pro Boxing

http://www.usada.org/usada-statement-inaccurate-news-reports-pro-boxing/

Whether due to a genuine misunderstanding of the facts or an intentional desire to mislead, numerous unfounded and false accusations have been leveled against USADA in recent on-line articles. Since our inception, USADA’s sole mission has been to protect clean sport. As such, it is unfortunate and extremely disappointing to have to address articles riddled with significant inaccuracies and misrepresentations based on unsubstantiated rumors as well as anonymous or self-interested sources that have recklessly called our integrity into question. It is simply absurd to suggest that we would ever compromise our integrity for any sport or athlete.

Although the articles in question contain a multitude of errors, all of which will be addressed at the appropriate time, we believe it is important to immediately correct the record regarding the false suggestion that Floyd Mayweather violated the rules by receiving an IV infusion of saline and vitamins.

As was already publicly reported in May of this year by the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC), Mr. Mayweather applied for and was granted a The****utic Use Exemption (TUE) by USADA for an IV infusion of saline and vitamins that was administered prior to his May 2 fight against Manny Pacquiao. Mr. Mayweather’s use of the IV was not prohibited under the NSAC rules at that time and would not be a violation of the NSAC rules today. Nonetheless, because Mr. Mayweather was voluntarily taking part in a USADA program, and therefore subject to the rules of the WADA Code, he took the additional step of applying for a TUE after the IV infusion was administered in order remain in compliance with the USADA program. Although Mr. Mayweather’s application was not approved until after his fight with Mr. Pacquiao and all tests results were reported, Mr. Mayweather did disclose the infusion to USADA in advance of the IV being administered to him. Furthermore, once the TUE was granted, the NSAC and Mr. Pacquiao were immediately notified even though the practice is not prohibited under NSAC rules.

Over the past six years USADA has conducted anti-doping programs for over 45 fights in the sport of professional boxing, and each of those programs has been conducted in accordance with the WADA Code and the International Standards. As a result, every athlete who has participated in one of our programs has voluntarily agreed to abide by the rules of the WADA Code and willingly subjected themselves to substantially more stringent testing protocols than they otherwise would have been subject to.

There are certainly those in the sport of professional boxing who appear committed to preventing an independent and comprehensive anti-doping program from being implemented in the sport, and who wish to advance an agenda that fails to put the interests of clean athletes before their own. Despite that opposition, we will continue to demonstrate to the clean athletes we serve, the sport partners we work with, and all those who share the ideal of fair competition, that we remain committed to our mission of protecting the rights of clean athletes and the integrity of competition.

All this says is that since Floyd paid usada, he was able to work some deals with them to cheat. Because in reality, thats what this really is.

I highly doubt It'd be a genuine misunderstanding, who does that sort of thing though?
I can't think of many other athletes that have a legit reason to do that, the fact its gone unannounced is the worst part would USADA have approved it?
Probably they're in TMT back-pocket by the looks of things so why in hell not ask for permissions.

This is the very man to say he wants to clean up the sport of boxing but who knows it could be an elaborate ruse to get people watching this Berto fartfest lol.
