Comments Thread For: Pacquiao on Mayweather IV: The Truth Finally Came Out!

[IR0NFIST]

"Mr Mayweather's use of the IV was not prohibited under the NSAC rules at that time and would not be a violation of the NSAC rules today," Usada's statement added.

The executive director of the NSAC himself disagrees.

“He cannot have it done at his house and [USADA] can’t authorize it.... I have specifically articulated and memorialized to USADA that [NSAC] is the sole authority that can authorize a the****utic-use exemption for a fighter in the state of Nevada, USADA never told us prior to the IV that they had their own TUE, and they never kept us informed about it being administered." Bennet said

This is so funny, because all of you who continue to say Mayweather cheated have a very low understanding of how third party drug testing works in boxing. Mayweather was not obligated to follow the rules and regulations of WADA, or USADA, Mayweather is obligated to the rules of NSAC. USADA was hired to ensure that both fighters did not test positive for band substances on NSAC's list, not WADA's. Mayweather and Pac had to comply with the way and amount of testing USADA performed, but the results pass or failing are based on NSAC's rules.

So for example; if Mayweather tested positive for a substance that is band by WADA but not band by NSAC then Mayweather would still be in the clear. Here is another example; if substance A was not band by WADA but was band by NSAC, could Mayweather still use substance A? NO. So IV protocols by WADA has no bearing in this situation, and because of that, USADA has no choice but to grant a TUE. What comes into play here is when did NSAC approve the IV. Both USADA and Mayweather claim NSAC approved the IV before Mayweather actually used it. This is what this situation comes down to, the rest is merely dramatization, and open ended accusations with out actually accusing some one of doping. The article was very far reaching. Let me make this clear, I am not arguing whether or not Mayweather is using PED's, I am pointing out that with the information that is available now, this situation has been blown out of proportion by those who don't really like Mayweather. The fact is until NSAC either confirms or denies USADA and Mayweathers chain of events, then we dont really know. However, when you add to the end of an article as a response, that Pac's injection was denied by NSAC (not USADA), it reveals the true motives of the writer. Pac being denied a shoulder injection, because he made the request too late and never revealed the injury to NSAC, has no connection to whether or not NSAC approved Mayweathers IV a full day before the fight.

If Mayweather did not get approval from NSAC before the fight, then he will most likely be in trouble. Who knows, maybe this is the reason he's absolutely sure he wont fight again.

I'm trying to wrap my head around this "he got caught with an IV"

So USADA literally caught Floyd using an IV without permission? Surely that can't be the case?

IV's are used to flush roids you idiot. Either that or he was weight drained and had been lying about his weight for years. The fool dwarfed marcos ****ing Maidana, he walks around at 170. He's a 38 year old bodybuilder looking muthafcker, that uses the same testing agency as Lance Armstrong and he has a gym full of roid users, what more evidence do you need?

Vindication.

How sweet it is Pac? How sweet its..

Don't leave out this.

"Floyd has always been a proponent of drug testing, which I applaud. He's set a fine example for all to emulate," he told the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

"He's never tested positive in his entire career for any performance-enhancing drugs and, as a commission, we have no problem with Floyd Mayweather."

The Chief Executive of USADA is the one who caught Lance Armstrong. The use of an IV to flush PED's is not 100%, its possible with the right amount and the right mixture that signs of PED use can be reduced you cannot fully flush your system, but again "possible" doesn't make it a fact. It's not the same as Blood Doping, that is when oxygenated blood is injected and is far more difficult to find, it's actually very impressive that USADA caught Armstrong.

And what do you say about all TMT guys roiding, Floyd being a 38 year old bodybuilder, working with known drug supplier Memo Heredia and supposedly being popped 3 times for roiding and covering it up?

no, it's actually pathetic. They only figured it out because other people came forward.

As I said in my earlier post, I'm not arguing whether or not Mayweather is using PED's, I'm just pointing to this situation not being evidence of roid use. I can't sign on to the theory that acquaintance equals guilt, if that were the case then all of Berry Bonds' teammates are guilty by association. Mayweather being on PED's is probable, but then such is the case for most athletes in most sports.

lance armstrong was also a advocate for drug testing

lance Armstrong was also found out to be doing saline flushes to his system

lance also never failed a test

some of you guys cant see the forest through the trees
