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

[FloydvsPac]

it would not surprise me one bit if this was all done by team mayweather to gain ppv buys for his 2nd fake retirement to duck the most loaded best division in boxing for the 2nd time (1st time was the fake retirement after ricky).

Yea..so TMT hired Thomas Hauser to write that article to help sell the fight?? So all the people that planned on not buying the PPV are now thinking..."Floyd is a cheater? Well, lemme spend my $75 on Mayweather-Berto this weekend!!"

That's what you're saying?? lol

The reason this is concerning is because, at least according to Hauser, it seems like Mayweather was covering up something and that USADA helped him sweep it under the rug. Originally when they mentioned the TUE for the IV rehydration stuff, I was under the impression that Mayweather had requested it in advance and had done the rehydration under the watch of USADA. I don't remember why I thought that, I think I read something where USADA expects testees to give urine prior to and after something like this.... not sure. Anyway, it seems more questionable now because USADA discovered "evidence of an IV being administered" (rough quote) when they arrived for a random drug test but would not clarify if the IV was being administered when they showed up or if they noticed something that suggested they had already used an IV.

Also, Mayweather was allowed to apply for the TUE almost 3 weeks after they discovered that he used an IV, which was well after the fight had taken place, and had not in the meantime reported anything to the NSAC or to Pacquiao's team. And yet they did not extend a similar courtesy to Pacquiao, even though he was requesting permission upfront and even though Toradol is not actually banned (whereas IV administration of saline is).

Anyway, I doubt anything happens either but just wanted to clarify that the problem, as I understand it, is not that Mayweather had saline and vitamins in his body.

According to the commission, it's illegal the week of the fight.

Anyone that believes this coming from a guy that accused Mayweather of failing 3 tests and USADA covering them up and provided no proof, needs their head examined.

No wonder floyd looked so huge compared to pac. The guy is roided up to the gills.

Head, Neck, chest, delts, traps, biceps, triceps. The guy is 2 division bigger than Pac lol And yet he still ran, hugged and cheated his way. Pathetic.

Roided up.

More specifically, the 2015 WADA Prohibited Substances and Methods List states, Intravenous infusions and/or injections of more than 50 ml per 6 hour period are prohibited except for those legitimately received in the course of hospital admissions, surgical procedures, or clinical investigations.

This prohibition is in effect at all times that the athlete is subject to testing. It exists because, in addition to being administered for the purpose of adding specific substances to a persons body, an IV infusion can dilute or mask the presence of another substance that is already in the recipients system or might be added to it in the near future.

What happened next with regard to Mayweather is extremely troubling.

Well we will find out since there are people in the article talking about the incident and not an unnamed source

[Lou Cipher]

FLOYDROID officially cheated against Pac Man. This is an outrage!!! The decision must be reversed!!!!

[twosweethooks]

Sorry low down Punk !!!!!

Cheater !!!!!!!

His purse for the pac fight should be taken back and given to the people he frauded !!!

[Ahmed_Ismail]

Ummm, the dude took a BANNED IV? Stuff like "rehydration medication" that is used ALL the time to mask PED use.

If it was illegal why didn't anyone say anything about it at the time, why wait 4 months and Coincidentally 2 weeks before the fight to write the article?

Just throwing this out as I don't see its been mentioned but anybody remember FRoid turning down a 5 million dollar penalty for failing a drug test that Manny and his team wanted placing in the contract?
