[Left Hook Tua]

what happened to oscar after he retired?
what is happening to floyd now?

you do the math.
put two and two together.
read between the lines.

why have two of the biggest most powerful names in boxing (floyd and oscar) have not sued hauser but instead chose the scummy and might i add unamerican black listed method?

pacquiao sued floyd.
and won.

how come floyd and oscar wont for hauser's very serious and damaging claim? why not legally shut him up instead of blackballing him?

floyd team threatened to sue montoya but never did.

yesterday montoya was talking crap.

he was like, "NOW YOU KNOW WHY FLOYD NEVER SUED ME DESPITE ALL THE THREATS."

[Divine Hammer]

who cares if they granted him a retroactive exemption?

Why is a guy who needs to drop 3 lbs in a month applying to use IVs? think real hard

he will get away with it but it's fairly obvious he was masking

don't worry here's this statement by usada saying why everything is sunshine and rainbows. definitely not damage control. definitely not trying to save their butts. everything is fine, lets all move along and buy the floyd vs berto PPV!!!!!!

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahaha

pac fans needed something to help them feel better about what happed on may 2nd when their fighter was defeated easily using basic footwork and made to look offensively confused although he was labeled the greatest offensive fighter in boxing... since that loss they have been doing everything in their power to discredit what happened. remember when the pac Floyd fight was signed all pac fans were here saying floyd was on roids and all kinds of crazy ish?? deep down they knew the truth and were preparing for it. Nothing will come of this just like the 3 failed test story. if it ever comes out that Floyd did cheat then I will act accordingly and call him out. but this is all heresy (just like pac being on peds) and an overreaction from the same fan base you could barely find when pac man said he was healed by salt water and is now playing hoops with no issues. so if this is what u guys need to sleep at night to feel better about reality then go ahead and have it.

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.

Already said USADA was going to come out AND there's nothing there and they're not going to believe it. Well here you go they will all start to fall in line now. USADA is a world organization but they're willing to risk everything for one person.

I said yesterday Housers article reeked of desperation and that there was nothing there. no coincidence he released it now

LOL @ you desperately speculating and putting in your own FIomo emotions...

Did Froyd use an IV that would have masked PED use? Yes or No?

Your trickery is pathetic.. and just shows what a cack blower you are :*******:

[Francis M.]

Where paullie at?

[M Bison]

I'm waiting to see Floyd Mayweather or should I say Leonard Ellerbe deal with this accusation, be a bad idea to let any of the Mayweather family talk about this.

[ИATAS]

Probably the most su****ious part for me:

A normal testosterone-to-epitestosterone ratio is slightly more than 1-to-1. Conte says that one recent study of the general population “placed the average T-E ratio for whites at 1.2-to-1 and for blacks at 1.3-to-1.”

Under WADA standards, a testosterone-to-epitestosterone ratio of up to 4-to-1 is acceptable. That allows for any reasonable variation in an athlete’s natural testosterone level (which, for an elite athlete, might be particularly high). If the ratio is above 4-to-1, an athlete is presumed to be doping.

Some athletes who use exogenous testosterone game the system by administering exogenous epitestosterone to drive their testosterone-to-epitestosterone ratio down beneath the permitted ceiling. This can be done by injection or by the application of epitestosterone as a cream. In the absence of a CIR test, this masks the use of synthetic testosterone.

But there’s a catch. If an athlete tries to manipulate his or her testosterone-to-epitestosterone ratio, it is difficult to balance the outcome. If an athlete uses too much epitestosterone - and the precise amount is difficult to calibrate - the result can be an abnormally low T-E ratio.

Mayweather’s testosterone-to-epitestosterone ratio for the April 3, 2013, sample was 0.80. His testosterone-to-epitestosterone ratio for the Aug. 18, 2011, sample was 0.69.

“That’s a warning flag,” says Don Catlin. “If you’re serious about the testing, it tells you to do the CIR test.”

The Nevada State Athletic Commission wasn’t as knowledgeable with regard to PED testing several years ago as it is now. Commission personnel might not have understood the possible implications of the 0.69 and 0.80 numbers. But USADA officials were knowledgeable.

Idk what hauser said about Oscar. If they sue him he'd still get blacklisted lol. Whatever hauser said about Oscar I don't think many care suing won't do much. Him being proven wrong won't be half as big as the initial story

[SplitSecond]

Lol, ofcourse USADA are going to deny, If they ask Floyd he'll also say he's never done anything wrong. Like Caitlin said, USADA has yet to come up with a valid excuse as to why exactly Mayweather needed the IV and at that dosage.

It has to be exposed.
