Mayweather's IV injection (Master thread)

[GTTofAK]

ok, so the answer is no, he didn't meet that requirement. How should we hold USADA accountable for allowing this?

They should be investigated for defrauding the US government. Floyd will naturally fall into the investigation as he is the one who is paying them to ignore WADA rules.

Did the LA Federal Prosecutor really have rock solid cause when the went after Armstrong? No he had a trumped up cause that Armstrong defrauded the postal service. The cause here with USADA being granted approximately $10M annually from the federal government to implement WADA rules and protocols is far stronger than anything we have seen the feds use in the past to go after cheaters.

Actually the Fed over uses the interstate commerce clause to take over jurisdiction when ever they want to do so! But they haven't wanted to do so!! Your vast knowledge of the American legal system leads me to believe that you can be my driver in Manila on Dec 15th, fir two weeks!

I used to work for Globe telecom, and lived in San Lorenzo village fir 8 months! I fathered a beautiful baby girl, I think you can drive us around when I arrive! Mall of Asia is where my daughter likes to go!

You didn't point out anything. The Retroactive TUE was legal and within WADA rules. Mayweather was in compliance. Those are the facts.

WADA rules require a 7% loss of body wight to use IV re-hydration. Was Floyd 11lbs down?

Unfortunately, no WADA rule was broken. Retroactive TUEs are within WADA rules.

This has nothing to do with the interstate commerce clause. USADA takes a federal grant to implement WADA rules, testing, and protocol. If they aren't doing that its fraud.

Was Froid 11lbs down which is what WADA rules require. You want to argue that Froid is really 157lbs?

I notice whenever you get asked about punishment, you deflect to investigation. its as if you think an investigation will uncover something Floyd did that would require punishment because as of now, there is nothing.

What punishment should USADA face? An investigation is not punishment. NSAC already did that and found nothing.

You would need to know all the exceptions WADA has for IV usage. Do you know them?

He may not meet this requirement but met one or more of the others.

I can think of $10M annual punishments USADA can face. As for Froid USADA and the governing bodies didn't do anything to Armstrong until a federal case was dropped in their lap. Armstrong is now 0 time tour de france champion.

This is incorrect, WADA doesn't have an absolute rule of just 7% like that for IV re-hydration.

This quote clearly indicates that he wasn't in compliance with the USADA program beforehand.

"He took the additional step of applying for a TUE after the IV infusion was administered, in order to remain in compliance with the USADA program."
