Comments Thread For: Hauser Hits Back at USADA Over Mayweather/IV Scandal

[Eff Pandas]

Boxing reputation is more important than legacy of a retiring boxer who already made millions.

Who's been caught for far worse then this situation has been proven to be thus far thats had their rep ruined?

I think mostly guys just get suspended for awhile & than comeback to lil witchhunting about their careers or even the issue that got them suspended. The reality is no one gives much of a f#ck about PED usage so its more a footnote to ones career than a scarlet letter.

Floyd Defense Force, how do you explain all of this:


- The USADA, a non-governmental agency that receives about $10 million in annual funding from Congress, appeared to have given favorable treatment to some boxers, including not just Mayweather but Erik Morales, who in 2012 tested positive for a PED and reportedly failed several more tests, although the New York State Athletic Commission was not informed of the failed tests in a timely manner.

- Mayweather’s camp has claimed that the fighter is subject to testing “365-24-7 by USADA,” but in reality, he determines when the testing period begins. In the case of the Berto fight, that began when the event, which had been rumored for weeks, was officially announced in early August, by which point Mayweather potentially could have undergone an assortment of treatments following the Pacquiao bout.

- As Conte put it, “I can’t tell you what Floyd Mayweather is and isn’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’s the one who decides when the next round of testing starts. And by the time testing starts, the drugs have cleared his system.”

- The drug-testing contract with USADA agreed to by Mayweather and Pacquiao provided for exceptions to WADA rules.

- In 2012, Pacquiao’s camp rejected a proposed contract clause that could have allowed USADA to grant a retroactive TUE without notifying the NSAC or the other fighter.

- In tests administered to Mayweather by the NSAC for fights in 2011 and 2013, he posted unusually low testosterone-to-epitestosterone ratios, either of which, as another expert described to Hauser, should have served as “a warning flag” for doping.

- Another anti-doping agency, VADA, charges less than USADA and offers more stringent tests.

- In 46 fights for which it has done testing, USADA acknowledged just one boxer caught with PEDs (Morales), whereas VADA had found three positive results in 18 fights.

Among the fighters VADA flagged for PED use was Berto, in 2012.

Oh here i do come off like that. I admit that. Sorry

Well I gotta admit that I wasn't expecting that.

[Fetta]

Well you fanboy like to call Floyd the face of boxing. And the face just got caught up in a very serious scandal so this isn't going away anytime soon.

Btw I have to say this is actually great promo for the fight. As Floyd says be it positive or negative as long as you talking about him is what matters.

Floyd is the face and thats why this is huge but if Canelo wins then he takes over.

Oh no this is huge but you see Mayo tweet tells another story. And in the thread line he says that if USADA had told floyd to do at hospital then all would be 100% compliant.

Taking your comments about Floyd seriously are akin to listening to a ****'s comments about ***s. You're a biased idiot. The truth will come out.

Yup because so far these facts mean nothing.
It's Floyd Mayweather we're talking about. People need to not share any negative opinions until Floyd says it's OK to do so.

Don't forget Morales was given a 2 yr ban how come usada didn't defend him?

okay so it just seems like we need to wait on all the facts a lot of you are adding things to the story and others are just running with it. so he passed the test before he took the iv? now ur throwing out "more than likely".... seems to me like no matter what in the eyes of his haters hes a steroid cheat lol, just like floyds fans ran with pac denying those test as proof he was on something... to be honest that's really what this is all about, pac fans who have been relatively quite since the loss and all the stories that didn't add up with the injury are now back in full force. I will wait to get all the facts before I give a definite opinion... but its something fishy going on either way.

So you can see this as being a one time thing for Floyd. He couldn't have possibly been on a regimen.

IMO it's very reasonable he could have been on this IV regimen throughout his camp to mask things when tested.

I agree with you that we need to wait till all the facts are outs. But until then we can give our opinions. And my opinions is that he has been on this IV regimen throughout his camp to mask his test.

I look at it like this, the chances are far greater that this wasn't a one time thing doing this IV, than it is being a one time thing.

It should be mentioned that Hauser is completely biased and on HBO's payroll.

Yea because doing the IV at the hospital is regulated and they take records of what they give you. But it was done at his house so who knows what is taking place there. That the difference. That's what makes it fishy.
