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

[-Hyperion-]

ok, the late waiver is why he is guilty.

If this were any other fighter, this wouldn't be a story, so I wouldn't have anything to react to.

Yes, you've made the point that he used a significant amount IYO. its "insane" and its the amounts that PED users use. Ok, that's why its banned. but didn't Floyd have a waiver for this?

Ahh, guilt by association. Funny, but I thought that was something you said was unfair in other situations where a person has been accused of using. Now, guilt by association is ok.

Cool, I get it.

You do realize the "waiver" was given by an organization that couldn't give it out right? NSAC is on record saying it shouldn't have happened. Floyd is lucky they just wanted to sweep this under the rug, because simply put he did something that shouldn't have been allowed to happen.

floyd cheated. IV therapy is NOT ALLOWED because one of its main uses is to mask illegal substances. don't give me this "oh he is just rehydrating" excuse hahahahahahahahahahahahaha. floyd's natural weightclass is WELTERWEIGHT. why would he need to go to extremes like IV therapy for simple rehydration???? and it's not even allowed for simple rehydration anyways!! not to mention floyd didn't tell usada about it! (even more shady). and usada instead of immediately informing nsac like they should have they gave floyd a TUE 18 days later!! so nsac was in the dark for at least 18 days!!!

and saline injections can be used to cheat ur blood tests. something lance armstrong did frequently.

floyd CHEATED and USADA helped cover it up for him. in this world $$$$$$$$$$$$ protects u. complete corruption.

This is interesting and no doubt a bit su****ious. But I have a few questions

This isn't my field of expertis so I will not pretend to know much about it, although I do work with health care

1. What kind of PED would be so easily "flushed" out of the system?

2. Why would he be flushing out PED:s the night before the fight? If he used PEDs it would probably be out of season when it would be most beneficial.

1. considering its 2015, it could be a myriad of things.

2.

-because he gets tested after the fight
-because its most beneficial during training. ill let victor conte say it better:



The benefits that an athlete retains from using anabolic steroids and certain other PEDs carry over for months. Anybody who knows anything about the way these drugs work knows that you don***8217;t perform at your best when you***8217;re actually on the drugs. You get maximum benefit after the use stops. I can***8217;t tell you what Floyd Mayweather is and isn***8217;t doing. What he could be doing is this. The fight is over. First, he uses these drugs for tissue repair. Then he can stay on them until he announces his next fight, at which time he***8217;s the one who decides when the next round of testing starts. And by the time testing starts, the drugs have cleared his system.

Bob is desperate to try to salvage public interest in Pacquiao

[Jsmooth9876]

He had Hauser rewrite the article and got SBNation to publish it. That's how he is going about it. Smart move on Bob's part.

WHat exactly is Floyd getting away with?

First off, we have no idea for why he took the IV do we? Rehydration I guess? Is that not an unfair advantage in itself to use an IV for rehydration when it's clearly not allowed?

Who's to say he hasn't been taking them all throughout the testing process to flush his system and mask something else as well? He knew he'd be getting blood tested after the fight which happens every time, so he flushes his system one last time the day before maybe.

You're so quick to make light of it but it wasn't allowed under the rules and after the fact they clear it so it doesn't seem like he cheated to have any advantage when he clearly did.

I don't give a fk who's cheating, boxing was better ten years ago when nobody even talked about it honestly. But to just brush everything aside because it's your guy that cheated shows that you're biased.

The waiver was issued by USADA, who as it turns out, are not allowed to issue waivers on such things.

I was unaware they couldn't give out a waiver. I saw NSAC admonish them for taking the IV, which is against WADA protocols.

What should be the punishment for taking an IV of vitamin and saline?

[Eff Pandas]

All this over an IV?

And that was reported back in May. Somehow the same **** that was talked about in May & no f#cks were given is a smoking gun 5 months later.

Don't play Dunn dude

administering iv's injections at home is not normal and is not allowed.

He was obviously cycling out some **** he didn't want to show on the test .

Basicly doing a lance Armstrong

You look like a defense lawyer.....why weren't you defending Pacquiao like this??

Floyd is getting away with an illegal procedure that looks su****iously like a blood flush because he had a "waiver" as you call it that wasn't given by the authority that could actually give it out. The wrong doing was official the moment the NSAC is on record throwing USADA under the bus for this. Floyd is basically clear because NSAC is pinning it all on USADA, not becasue there wasn't any wrong doing.
