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

[wlliam]

If Floyd wanted to rehydrate properly he should have had Ellerbe blast some fluids in his @$$

IMO this isnt a big deal and its actually very common for fighters to use an IV to rehydrate. Over-hydrating is actually a common result of IV use. This is a writer with an agenda, partial quotes and why is Conte even in the article? Floyd using an IV isnt Floyd popn for peds, its not the 1st a fighter has used an IV and it Wont be the last. Also, are we really calling this a "scandal"? Pac getn $25 mil from a $600million event, thats the real scandal

Mayweather is just like the guy who constantly accuses his girlfriend is cheating on him because he was the one cheating the whole time.

"The protocol is no injections unless it's under 50ml every 6 hours or for emergency. Floyd took 250 ml and 500 ml at once the night before the fight."



^ that's the issue. But why would Floyd even need an IV? He weighed 150.5 at the 30 day weigh in, he wasn't cutting a massive amount of weight at all.

[Straightener]

Just curious, which one is it? Did FLoyd use IV and Saline like Armstrong did to mask PEDS or does he lie and really not weigh what he says he weighs?

Got em!!

It is a big deal. IVs are used to masks peds and only NSac can allow it. Usada for some strange reason alllowed it. Shady written all over it.

That's the most disturbing part. Reeks of corruption. The strange part was that NSAC was furious at USADA for even granting the the****utic use exemption. They claim only they can grant it in Nevada.


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.



"As far as USADA, I was extremely disappointed that I wasn't notified right away (about Mayweather receiving an IV). When it comes to TUE, we are the sole agency that approves the administering of TUEs. USADA, nor any other anti-doping agency that does drug testing, doesn't have the authority to adminster a TUE.

"The bottom line is USADA didn't keep us informed, which is totally unacceptable and unprofessional."

So based on this it looks like Pacquiao would have been better off getting the shot in his shoulder and then applying for the exemption 3 weeks after the fight.
According to NSAC its better to ask for forgiveness after the fact then permission beforehand.

[daggum]

remember when people used to say well floyd is a terrible person outside the ring but lets judge him by what he does in the ring....ok lets do that! he's a cheat!
