Mayweather's IV injection (Master thread)

USADA being responsible? Possibly. But if that were the case, then that would mean they're in Mayweather's pocket. A little hypocritical, don't ya think, for them ban IV use in UFC because of their drug testing protocol, yet they allowed Mayweather IV use back in May?

And I doubt the it's the UFC's idea. I would suspect the UFC has very little interest in anything other than their production.

Most likely, the ban on IV use for the purpose of dehydration is being issued by NSAC. They are the organization who performed the major overhaul to drug testing protocol and penalties for UFC. There's a whole entire list with details of the offenses and the resulting penalties for violation of their new rules.

I just have to say, that Floyd Mayweather was very fortunate that he practiced a pre fight ritual and got away with it just a few months before it was banned.

And it's safe to say that NSAC will soon implement a similar overhaul to the sport of boxing in the near future.

Mayweather was able to use an IV through a Retroactive TUE. So for the UFC, the same thing would apply. Only in emergencies basically could it be used and a USADA rep would have to be present while it's being administered.

The IV thing is not being issued by NSAC. You cannot find any information that NSAC is issuing the ban. Because if it were, it would create waves and chaos in professional boxing. In fact, it means nothing for professional boxing because NSAC can issue the ban, but NYSAC may not! Remember, every state has different rules. But still, it would cause a nice amount of chaos and Nevada may no longer be the Mecca for boxing.

That's why I say it's my opinion that the UFC is very much on board behind it. And just look at the quote coming from one of their staff members in that same article you posted.

I missed that quote from the UFC staff member. I only read the first quarter of the article. Kind of like how I am here. When people start posting compositions that exceed one page length, they only have a few paragraphs to get their point across before I spend my valuable time on something else.

So doing nothing is now disguised as impractical! Hence, you will just sit and complain and cry. Much good that will do you like your gif reversing the loss!

This whole "IV Gate" scandal is still stickied right at the very top of this forum, which is good enough for me. I don't expect my gif to reverse Pacquiao's loss, and your constant bickering isn't going to lift the image of Floyd Mayweather Jr. being a disgraced cheater.

So yeah, again. It's comparing apples and oranges. It's quite easy for the UFC to enact a ban of various things. But professional boxing is a lot different. NSAC cannot try to get too strict because Promoters will just move their business elsewhere! To another state that will play by their rules better!

NSAC won't give Margarito a license, fine. We will do the fight in Texas! Okay, NSAC you don't wanna give Berto a license. Cool, we will do the fight in California. So nope, NSAC isn't going to issue any ban anytime soon.

The denial is quite apparent coming from the type of grievers that push for it and laughing as if they won an argument...

Exactly. This is why Floyd refuses to fight outside of Nevada. The NSAC have a vested interest in his fights, which is why they're willing to overlook his lying and cheating ways.

Are you kidding? NSAC is the strictest boxing commission in the United States. All the other states are much less strict. So for instance, NYSAC allowed the Morales vs. Garcia fight to happen, despite the evidence they had. Texas allowed Margarito to fight, despite the evidence. California allowed Berto to fight, despite the past evidence. Whereas, in all these cases, NSAC would have canceled the fight. In Texas, you had open scorecards for Trout vs. Canelo, which affected the outcome of the fight.

You are fortunate Mayweather fights only in Nevada. He would have a lot more freedom in other states.

The NSAC makes enough profit off of Floyd's back.
