The widely-reported justification for Mayweather’s IV is that it was administered to remedy dehydration. On September 11, Mayweather told an interviewer for FightHype.com that he’d been “just rehydrating.” That’s also what USADA suggested to the Nevada State Athletic Commission when it advised the NSAC on May 21 (nineteen days after Mayweather-Pacquiao) that “the infusion was administered to address concerns related to dehydration.”
But that statement was made by USADA at a time when it was likely that Mayweather’s IV would pass without public notice. Since then, USADA has declined to state what the medical justification for the otherwise-prohibited IV procedure was.- red flag ( if they're in the right there is nothing to hide)
On September 17, USADA released what it called a “Detailed Correction” of “Can Boxing Trust USADA?” The “correction”
One word that USADA’s “Detailed Correction” does not mention is “dehydrated.” Nor does it use “dehydration” or any derivative thereof. - red flag
Most likely, that’s because the available evidence strongly suggests that Floyd Mayweather was not dehydrated. - red flag
