[Str8RightHand]

They are ACTUALLY still talking about this?

This is not news. Hurry up and knock out glass jaw so we can all move on with our lives.

got caught injecting 750 ml of IV in his house and still claiming he's still crusading to clean up not only the sport of boxing but all of sports!

What he did is not allowed. It clearly states on usada' sown website that a tue has to be approved prior to use.

He lost 3 pounds to make 147, he wasn't drained. This is just a joke at this point.

i thought he told them in advance that he was going to use it.

I repeat: The guy is toasted...
__________________________

"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."

In short, that's what USADA clearly states: Floyd took the IV before it was approved by USADA...

The rest of the statement is PR florilège...

Reason why this guy is retiring is because he can't do PEDs no more.
