"They're confusing the fighters," Nevada commission executive director Bob Bennett said of USADA.

Mir had been taking Adderall, I'm told by the commission, he stopped when told to.

Bennett said "my experiences to date (with USADA) have been less than acceptable and less than professional."

Bob Bennett, NSAC:
"As far as USADA, I was extremely disappointed that I wasn't notified right away (about Mayweather receiving an IV). When it comes to TUE, we are the sole agency that approves the administering of TUEs. USADA, nor any other anti-doping agency that does drug testing, doesn't have the authority to adminster a TUE.
"The bottom line is USADA didn't keep us informed, which is totally unacceptable and unprofessional."

Bob Bennett (who worked for the FBI before assuming his present position as executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission) has this to say: The TUE for Mayweathers IV - and the IV was administered at Floyds house, not in a medical facility, and wasnt brought to our attention at the time - was totally unacceptable. Ive made it clear to Travis Tygart that this should not happen again. We have the sole authority to grant any and all TUEs in the state of Nevada. USADA is a drug-testing agency. USADA should not be granting waivers and exemptions. Not in this state. We are less than pleased that USADA acted the way it did.
