Im gonna wait till you make the story bigger. This one has gone stale

You mean the NSAC, being the governing body? Who were informed only 3 weeks after the TUE issued? Them releasing a statement saying Floyd broke the rules?

You dont even care about the sport, your agenda, is protecting Floyd. If you actually cared about the sport being clean you would be asking why Floyd needed the 750ml IV, and why USADA issued it when its against ,WADA code, the code they are supposed to abide by, why the TUE request is not dated & why it took them 3 weeks to notify the NSAC.

These are the questions you should be asking to be answered not just hell bent on defending Floyd. Its sad and pathetic.

NSAC was notified 3 days

They were informed after the fact by USADA and didn't do **** about it then. The 50ml limit is applicable if you have a TUE. Guess what? He has one. I'm yet to see any evidence that NSAC rules have been broken. Feel free to point this evidence out to me since you seem to have it.

This has got nothing to do with "protecting" Floyd. I'm actually one of his few fans who believes he's on something (I believe every professional athlete is).

This just isn't the evidence we need to prove that unfortunately.

I can't imagine what Floyd was doing years back, before testing became slightly more of a concern than it is now.

All of those long vacations, the roid rage he showed, the way he kept pointing fingers at others (must be a user to pick up on the signs so well).

Damn, dude must have been roiding like a mad man.

Most probably. His whole record is in question. Tarnished with big fat asterisks all over the place..

I understand that Thomas Hauser asks the above questions, but USADA has proven before that they are biased in favor of Floyd Mayweather Jr.

For example, when Floyd was fighting on HBO, the 24/7-Team were once filming when USADA turned up to get a urine test from Floyd. Floyd tried to get rid of the 24/7-Team but they decided to hang around and film everything. What happened was that Floyd was given the opportunity to take epitestosterone cream to balance out his testosterone-to-epitestosterone ratio, and then USADA waited for five hours before they took the test from Floyd. Waiting five hours guaranteed that the testosterone-to-epitestosterone ratio had been lowered to a legal value.

Floyd and Al Haymon were of course very upset that the 24/7-Team caught Floyd cheating, so when Floyd moved to Showtime he decided to be the producer of All Access. That meant that Floyd had authority to stop All Access from filming as soon as USADA turned up.

However, just like Thomas Hauser wrote in his article, the masking technique of using epitestosterone cream often produces abnormally low T-E ratio since it is difficult to balance the outcome. So Floyd's abnormal results had to be hidden by USADA. USADA has clearly been an active protector of Floyd's doping. This is also proven by Nevada State Athletic Commission who also did two tests on Floyd and these two lab reports were reported this year and both had abnormal results, showing clear traces of manipulation of the testosterone-to-epitestosterone ratio.

USADA has clearly supported Floyd's doping by letting him take epitestosterone cream and then waiting many hours for the T-E ratio to become legal. Then USADA has hidden Floyd's abnormal test results, which Nevada State Athletic Commission's two tests show.

Just like Lance Armstrong, Floyd has also used illegal EPO to increase his stamina in fights. Cheating athletes use illegal EPO to boost red blood cell counts, a change that temporarily supercharges endurance by increasing muscles' oxygen-carrying capacity. The most powerful masking agent to hide this doping is with the IV just before the test. Armstrong did this many times, and a former Armstrong teammate once explained that a team doctor smuggled a bag of saline directly past an International Cycling Union tester, inside his raincoat, and delivered it to Armstrong just in time to cheat an EPO test. Floyd and Lance used exactly the same masking techniques to hide their EPO doping.

That USADA let Floyd take the IV before their EPO test is shocking, especially since everyone knows that this is the illegal masking technique that Lance Armstrong used to hide his illegal EPO doping. NSAC should definitely punish Floyd for the illegal use of the IV, just like Lance Armstrong would have been punished if he had been caught taking the IV. They should also demand all of Floyd's tests through the years to be retested with CIR. USADA, however, is obviously as corrupt as corrupt can be.

Looooooooooooooooooool

Seems all of TBE's career have centered around his use of and dependence on PEDs. His first retirement had something to do with it, whichever way you put it, his long vacations, fighting once a year, scheduling of fights, etc. Until he found an ally in USADA and gave him security. The late announcement of the Berto fight speaks for itself. He didn't care about promoting it early, he worried about getting caught.

You are putting your head in the sand

Floyd Mayweather did not follow the rules correctly when seeking approval for an intravenous drip before his victory over Manny Pacquiao, the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) says.
The US Anti-Doping Agency (Usada) gave retrospective permission after Mayweather had the drip of saline and vitamins on the eve of his 2 May fight.
But the NSAC says only it could approve the drip, and not Usada.
Pacquiao wants a rematch, according to the AFP news agency.
Usada said it granted unbeaten American Mayweather, 38, a The****utic Use Exemption (TUE) for the infusion, in accordance with NSAC regulations.
But NSAC executive director Bob Bennett told BBC Sport: "Anyone should know worldwide, if you fight in the state of Nevada we are the sole authority for approving a TUE.
"Usada has been known historically as the premier performance-enhancing drugs-testing organisation and they have an outstanding record. But they do not have the authority to authorise a TUE to a fighter in the state of Nevada."

This is what is said on the USADA website
http://www.usada.org/substances/proh...athlete-guide/

M2. Chemical and Physical Manipulation
Tampering or attempting to tamper with a collected sample in order to affect its validity is prohibited.

Intravenous infusions or any intravenous injection of more than 50mL per a six-hour period are prohibited except for those legitimately received in the course of hospital admissions, surgical procedures, or clinical investigations.

Advisory:

Even if the substance delivered by intravenous infusion is permitted (e.g., iron), the method is prohibited if given outside of a hospital admission/clinical investigation).

In an emergency, you should always receive appropriate medical care. If the emergency service providers need to insert an intravenous line to save your life or provide emergency medication, request copies of all the clinical documentation for the diagnosis, decision to start the IV, and the amount of fluid administered during your stay. Once the emergency is over you can communicate with USADA to determine if a TUE is required for the emergency.

Physicians frequently raise concerns about the use of IV infusions in place of or in addition to oral fluid intake, such as to relieve severe gastrointestinal (GI) distress during travel causing dehydration. WADA clarified ***8220;the use of IV fluid replacement following exercise to correct mild re-hydration is not clinically indicated nor substantiated by the medical literature.***8221;

They have broken their own and WADA protocols by allowing Floyd to take the IV, it was a not emergency and he took it in his own home.
Floyd vigorously claims he walks around at 150, yet we are supposed to believe he was so severely dehydrated he needed a IV, come on now.... if you claim your sole purpose is not protecting Floyd, you will would be demanding answers.
