Comments Thread For: USADA Fires Back at Hauser Over Multiple Allegations

[ganthet]

We are not talking about USADA, we are talking about Floyd being guilty. do not try and pivot or deflect.

What is your choice a or b?

LOL so just because you cannot counter my point on why USADA felt the need to make a 25 page garbage response to Hauser, which therefore proves my point that credibility really matters, you're now resorting to that lame tactic and taking USADA out of the equation? LMAO are you serious?

USADA was always part of the topic dumbass! Hell, even Hauser's article was a direct attack to USADAs reputation and integrity. So for you to even say that we are not talking about USADA here is one of the most ******ed and pathetic arguments I have ever heard LOL!

Thanks for playing, try harder next time ******

The explanation they provide for the Morales business seems like a generally satisfactory response. I am a little skeptical about their willingness to entertain the meat story at first, as they admit to telling all involved parties this was a possible explanation. Also, I don't understand why they waited until after the fight to hand over the two year ban. Additionally, why did the NYSAC not think to stop the fight? Shrug. If the phone call USADA claims to have had with NYSAC on 10/17/12 did take place, Hauser is buggin about the importance of NYSAC having it in their files. If anything, it seems odd that NYSAC did not have a record of it.

The explanation provided for the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight is still not totally satisfactory to me personally. It had been reported earlier that the testing for this particular fight included CIR testing, so I don't know why Hauser was going on about that. But USADA's language in this document regarding CIR testing is telling. "In fact, in some cases all the samples in the lead up to a particular fight have been CIR tested." In other words, they are admitting that they do not perform CIR tests on every sample (which Hauser pointed out that VADA does do). Also, they knew about the prohibited IV but did not notify the NSAC or Pacquiao about it until after the approved TUE application. It seems bizarre to me that, though they did not even know Mayweather would apply for a TUE until days afterwards (their words, not mine) that they did not feel the need to notify anyone in the meantime. They ultimately have not explained why they did not have any problem at any point with the use of a WADA prohibited method that is not clinically indicated for dehydration. Also later they say "USADA has not given any waivers to use a prohibited substance" but they had also said they provided Mayweather the retroactive TUE? Unless I guess they are only referring to prohibited substances and not prohibited methods? In which case they intentionally worded that response in a way that does not make clear whether such TUEs had been granted by them before.

A lot of their response is nit-picky. They repeat over and over again that they do not receive $10m in funding from the government. Hauser used the term "approximately 10m" iirc, the exact amount was not suggested to be important in his article. I took a peak at a couple of years of funding on their website - in 2011 they received just shy of $9m and in 2014 they received $8.75m.

At least in recent times, since the Cotto fight, they've announced that all samples were tested via CIR.

This is inaccurate. Mr. Hauser fails to attribute this information to a source or specifically identify a time when USADA has stated that CIR testing is "unnecessary" or "too expensive." In fact, USADA performs extensive CIR testing as part of the professional boxing testing programs it conducts and has never declined to administer CIR testing. All 22 urine samples collected during the Mayweather/Pacquiao testing program were tested by CIR and for EPO. Indeed, every professional boxer USADA has ever tested has been tested using the CIR methodology. Importantly, relying on CIR testing alone to detect the use of prohibited substances is yesterday’s science and not up to the current best scientific practices.

As far as nitpicking, I disagree. There were a lot of inaccuracies. A true journalist should never have so many inaccuracies. And they also pointed out how they relayed facts to him, but he went ahead and printed inaccuracies anyway to suit his agenda.

And also, $9M is far different from $10M, it's not even close. The figures would have to be more like $9.8 or $9.9 to justify a round up to $10M. Even pointing out little inaccuracies like that just goes to show that the writer either had an agenda, or wasn't doing their homework.

And their evidence for this is what? When they got a subpena for documents a settlement quickly followed.

USADA has published this information years ago. They publicly released the results for Mayweather vs. Cotto.

Obviously, guilty people don't file lawsuits. They just release statements.

Serious question. If a person about the size of FM is treated for moderate to severe dehdration with an IV, how much fluid would he receive?
