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

There you go. Like i said nothing.

Well if USADA says it must be true. lol I mean they have no reason to lie or go into damage control. I mean it's not like the Nevada Commission came out saying what they did was wrong and illegal. It's not like other major drug testing agencies are suggesting they are corrupt. They are in Haymon's pocket and proven liars. They provided no proof to dispute any of the reports.

Conte's quotes are a huge red flag for me. I have said it over and over ever since he signed with Showtime his fighting schedule made him suspect. He basically fights twice within 4 months then takes the rest of the year off. A perfect schedule for cycling off something. Like Conte said, Floyd announces his next fight when he wants to so he dictates when the next round of testing starts, a great advantage if you know how long you need to cycle off a program.
No wonder ever since he has been with Showtime his May fights have been announced later and later so the random testing window starts when he wants it to.
Plus he is saying the night before the Pac fight he needed fluids akin to someone on their death bed due to dehydration but felt that it was ok to take this IV in his home instead of going to a doctor?
In the NFL they only do blood test during training camp so the guys know when they are going to be tested and flushing out your system with an IV has been widely reported as a way to beat those early tests.
Lot's of smoke here...

Many of us with the ability to think with a critical mind have said this. Its been clear as day to what has been going on. Thats why it was always laughable when people would say he was doing random drug tests. I would always ask "how is it random when he knows what months he will be tested in?". "well, being tested in 2 months is better than no testing at all". Not really. Not when Floyd and everyone else knows he stays in the gym 24/7. Theres a reason why hes able to do so. He cycles.

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.
