Comments Thread For: Mayweather Under Hot Fire Over USADA/IV Scandal

[KnockoutKings]

I wouldn't go that far. Manny has admitted to cheating on his wife several times, having a kid out of wedlock, boozing, ********, etc.

i would have questioned what manny is hiding if he didn't at least half of these problems. like nobody is that good of a person LOL

This changes everything, how we perceive Mayweather's wins as well as how the officials brush cheating under the rug for stars. I wouldn't be surprised if the ppv was cancelled and blamed on something else like poor ticket sales.

Uh ooooooh

Is Floyd-Berto still going to take place? I mean Floyd obviously won't be in the right mind and it's a lose-lose for him whatever happens in the ring. This potential just ruined Mayweather's career.

Oh the fights still on. You don't cancel a fight one day away. If he's not in his right mind, then that's his problem. And I really don't think he cares. Floyd is a narcissist. He thinks so highly of himself that he doesn't allow himself to get to that level. Even if he loses all his fans and entourage, he'll still be in love with himself and everything about him. He'll still think he's the greatest.

1) Not sure if I believe that " allegation ".

That conflicts with everything I have ever heard about steroids.

Thanks for the link, and I dont dismiss it, but more info is required.

I would like to see some supporting evidence.

2) If that is true, then why would Mayweather need an IV

There are different types of steroids...depots that are long lasting (1/2 life of 2 weeks and still traceable after a month). Depot shots are not used by athletes who get tested obviously. Then there are water based steroids which are fast acting (bodybuilders will use them twice a day). These are thing that if you need supporting evidence you can research...I can't be bother to educate you.

As for why would he'd need an IV...well only one reason for that. To dilute the concentrations of drug in his blood. At his size he has maybe 3.75 litres of blood in his body. 750 ml of saline masks his blood test. It was how lance Armstrong passed all his tests. It's not just testosterone...EPO is the drug that boosts cardio endurance off the charts. He likely used lots of drugs.

Lots of reading to be had but you have to read it.

In situations where EPO tests on recently dosed athletes were unavoidable, team doctors also could have injected saline, or salt water, to dilute a rider's blood and quickly drive down hematocrit. This kind of obfuscating saline injection was a common practice for Armstrong and his team, according to the USADA report.

He could have taken IV's because of massive dehydration due to difficulty making weight.
