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

[radioraheem]

You're spinning your wheels. Floyd & USADA only gain from taking legal action (even if it gets thrown out) because they will gain publicity for their cause and some of the viewing public will side with them. Not suing because of "attorney fees" is a poor excuse. It's as if you are implying that Floyd and USADA are too noble to sue the "little man". If Hauser and SB Nation are 100% wrong and committing libel, they're supposed to fight.

The only group that is benefiting from this Floyd controversy are the journalists and sports media outlets covering Mayweather-Berto. They now have real questions to ask Floyd. As far as more people buying the PPV, Floyd would've gotten more buys if he got arrested for domestic violence again. A PED controversy isn't a selling point, not even with already cynical consumers.

They will gain publicity for their cause? Are you kidding me? That publicity will be very small! Nothing is juicy about that story. You have to be really naive if you think they'd gain a lot of publicity over that.

It's not that USADA and Mayweather are too noble to sue. It just makes little business sense. You don't seem to grasp that litigation is not about moral victories. It's about business. There is little to gain financial by going after small potatoes. There is only more to lose! Litigation is not charity, it is business.

Fact remains, way more people know about the upcoming fight than without the coverage. That is Marketing 101. It is FREE press. You don't understand the legendary adage that all press is good press!

You're citing wada rules now? I recall I was making the case about wada rules yesterday and you were saying they didn't matter and Floyd was operating under nsac. Your flip flopping is getting a little bit ridiculous.

He said Mayweather requested retroactive TUE to be added in the contract, he didn't it's already in the WADA rules.

He doesn't have to follow WADA rules if he chooses not to, only NSAC rules like every other fighter that fights in Nevada.

What Mayweather tried was in early march an attempt to put in the contract a retroactive TUE in the event of a positive test(which would remain only between the fighter and USADA). What ended up in the contract was allowing USADA to grant a TUE, effectively bypassing the NSAC and allowing what actually happened, to happen.

I assume it's why despite the rage of the NSAC and this being one of 3 major *** ups from USADA, that the NSAC have just stood by as it happened.

Are floyd fans seriously defending him using 750ml of this stuff when 50 should only be used in a dire situation ?

Especially when they know he was caught using it and only applied for his excuse because he was caught and that it is used to mask ped results?

These floyd fans are a cancer

Rood weathers gym should also be banned so many cheats in it including him who've been caught red handed

His legacy is tarnished, so many of these black fighters cheat. I'm calling it as it is

No wonder floyd accused pax because he was paranoid of himself roiding and tried to deflect attention and knee he could cover it up after buying usada

No wonder roid Armstrong jnr refused to show his results in court when pac asked for them

USADA themselves after the fight said they were following WADA protocol.

the granting of TUEs would be determined by USADA in its sole discretion in accordance with the WADA international standards for TUEs, which include retroactive TUEs.

Ofcourse what they say about following the NSAC's rules in the latest article on boxingscene, the NSAC themselves strongly disagree, but we already know this. USADA are just cherrypicking when to follow certain rules.

USADA not communicating with NSAC is the problem. Mayweather did what Pacquiao did and got permission from USADA but not NSAC. Only Pacquiao lied on the forms.

I'm not even sure he needs an injury. Toradol is apparently legal.

[krazyn8tive]

Not to mention the toradol shot pacquiao requested is legal under usada guidelines. Their excuse was the request was not filed within sufficient time...but mayweather gets a retroactive exemption (meaning after the event has already taken place) for the****utic use. How is this getting lost on people?

[Robbie Barrett]

Not on the day of the fight which is why he was prevented from using it, but Pacquiao and his fans argued that because USADA said it was OK he should be allowed it.

You sure about that? From what I've read only one of the drugs Pacquiao requested was prohibited and it wasn't Toradol. He apparently was not required a TUE(initially thought he got a TUE, but supposedly not required?) since the banned drug was only banned during competition and he wouldn't be using it at the time of competition.

So if you could clear that up for me.
