get a clue. ur hero is a cheat. why would he need to go to extremes for IV therapy for simple rehydration (which isn't allowed by wada code)?????? why take that risk when THERE ARE MANY OTHER MORE BENEFICIAL WAYS TO REHYDRATE LIKE DRINKING FRICKIN LIQUIDS. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha u floyd farts can't accept the truth and it's sad. ur hero is a fraud and a cheat. who knows for how long too.

Firstly, I've always maintained that all the top level guys are cheating, in pretty much every sport. You can infer until you're blue in the face, what I'm asking what you think an appropriate punishment is for elevated salt water and vitamin C mixes?

[Divine Hammer]

Well, since we've already been over this after the fight once before and nothing happened...what punishment do you think will happen to Floyd for excessive use of vitamin C and salt water?

pac vs floyd = no contest because wada code was broken with the use of prohibited IV therapy and illegal use of TUE by usada

floyd and usada be federally investigated. and if anything more comes out of a federal investigation then fines, lifetime bans, usada not allowed to do anymore testing in boxing or with olympic athletes, floyd barred from boxing hall of fame and from working with boxers.

floyd cheated like lance armstrong and this is hopefully the beginning of the end for ur fraud. too many red flags everywhere and not just the iv theraphy.

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.

I don't think rehydrating is an advantage but your point is fair.

Well, we don't know, you are correct.

It wasn't allowed under WADA protocols but was retroactively approved.

How is me discussing it in this thread brushing it aside? Respectfully, much of this same article has been discussed before on NSB.

the revelation about the IV is new and the exception as well. If you think the IV is the smoking gun, ok.

Oh, so it's Arum's fault that Floyd took that IV, took an illegal amount, and took it at home without first running it by anyone

floyd farts are the worst. there is a gigantic red flag here and they defend and make silly excuses. they don't even know that saline was REGULARLY used by lance to cheat blood tests.

[SilverMiles]

For those saying we don't know why Floyd took the IV, guess what?

It doesn't fuqing matter. He broke the rules and should be punished accordingly.

[SplitSecond]

Beer, you remember that vampire facial video with Floyds tactics being used in comparisons to Armstrongs?

****in lol

During the 1998 world cycling championships, a UCI tester showed up unannounced and started setting up at a bed and breakfast where Armstrong’s team was staying. A team doctor went outside to their car, retrieved a bottle of saline “and smuggled it right past the UCI tester and into Armstrong’s bedroom,” the report states.

Teammate Jonathan Vaughters told investigators that they later “had a good laugh about how he had been able to smuggle in saline and administer it to Lance essentially under the UCI inspector’s nose.”
