Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: NSAC Must Punish Mayweather For IV Use!

[Robbie Barrett]

Nevada doesn't ban PACs painkiller, but they denied him cause he didn't apply in timely manner. Floyd applied 18 days later, and with the wrong people lol, who also broke their protocol to grant it retroactively.

Lance was never hiring Usada under a private contract.

Paquiao wasn't granted because he lied to NSAC. Weren't all the Pacquiao fans saying because USADA approved that Pacquiao should have been allowed it? Well USADA approved Mayweathers.

Lets not forget what we are talking about here either. Pacquiao was on 4/5 different strong painkillers which he was taking throughout camp, Mayweather took some salt water.

I can't believe you said that. That was 18 days after the fight...18 DAYS AFTER THE FIGHT. That's not breaking protocol? Retroactive approval after the fact? That's like applying for a drivers license after you've been caught driving without one.

No it wasn't, he requested it before he took it and they verbally agreed.

Floyd also notified USADA of his intention to have the IV, and they approved it, which is why he was given the TUE retroactively. This isn't USADA's first retroactive exemption, so I'd hardly call it breaking protocol.

The fact that you think that the organization who makes sure that Olympians are clean would shamelessly cheat to protect a guy no one likes, but would spend years taking down a guy who was considered a hero is beyond me. Lance is no slouch when it comes to big money, and USADA gets paid regardless of if Floyd wins or loses.

Floyd could have taken a 20 minute drive to any hospital and requested an IV and this would be a non-issue. The conspiracy theories are ridiculous.

Apparently the TUE was issued 18 days later. The protocol states,you want more than 50ml , you must have a TUE and it better be an emergency wothy of that 20m hospital drive.

What does Lances money have to do with this? Was he hiring Usada under a private contract or not?

They were notified that it was happening, and they approved of it. Obviously filing for and approving a TUE wouldn't be possible a day before the fight :/

the drug issue, tarnished the boxing record of floyd jr.

when he retires, the drug issue will always be there pulling down whatever awards is gonna be given to him in the future.

A drug issue that involved no drugs.

It was happening a day before the fight. USADA knew of and approved the IV. Don't know what else you want if a guy needs an IV within 24 hours of a fight occurring.

I edited my last comment btw. Kinda explains why I think all of this is ******ed.

Cmon man, he used 15x the legal amount of the masking agent that helped Lance pass tests for years. And this is "I walk at 150" Floyd. Gtfo

No it wasn't, he requested it before he took it and they verbally agreed.

LOL...and it took until 18 days after the fight to process this verbal application. Approval for 750 ml IV at home? You should write for Jimmy Fallon.
