Comments Thread For: Thomas Hauser Respnds Back To USADA's Statements

[The plunger man]

If hes dirty then hes dirty but so far i see nothing that points to that

Yeah but you wouldn't see evidence of it if usada has been covering it up and receiving huge payments to brush things under the carpet.....that's the whole point of us not knowing.......it's only known when you fail a drug test when it released.....but if usada has been testing floyd for the last 5 or 6 years then it's suspect for sure......usada receiving huge amounts as well......a quick pointer.......floyd is 38 years of age.......I don't care who you are....what sport you come from....what food you have eaten......what's magical mountain spring water you have been drinking.......what anti ageing cream you have been applying ....it's physically impossible at that age to have the speed and reflexes of floyd mayweather.......there is also the consideration he trains every day with out fail.....that's wear and tear on the body as well.....were talking about a guy who at 38 is still as fresh in the 12 round as he is in the 1st.......people should use there common sense and realise it's impossible to be like that 38 in the toughest sport in the world

Pointing to Floyd passing tests is pretty pointless here...

The accusation is that Floyd used the IV-saline solution to beat the tests...

So why would Floyd passing the tests matter?

Lance Armstrong has never tested positive using the same IV tactic...

NSAC was not informed that a fighter was fighting the next day after suffering from severe dehydration to the point he had to have an emergency IV?

Yeah, Floyd was dehydrated, sure, I believe that story, riiiight, yeah, sureeeeee, sure I believe it...

I thought it was very clear in my remarks that my implication was you suck at judging what pwning is cuz I saw no pwning by Hauser in these remarks. Not super surprised you are having trouble understanding things right in your face doe.

what does that have to do with anything????? hahahahahahahahah

judging fights =/= investigative journalism

so what if hauser is bad at scoring fights????? he's still a fantastic and well honored and awarded JOURNALIST/WRITER. when it comes to writing articles and investigating in the world of boxing, he's one of the best.

[youbeight]

I see the point completely flew over your head. If Floyd was severely dehydrated, then how was he able to provide a urine sample before being administered the banned IVs?

while dehydration decreases your urine output, its doesnt completely cut off your ability to give urine.

Hauser feeds the haters , the haters feed Hauser lol .

Its a little thing i like to call "The circle (jerk) of life" smh

Lance Armstrong was also randomly-tested, so how is Floyd being directly suspected of cheating a non-issue here? Lance Armstrong used an IV-saline solution tactic to beat the tests. That's a huge, huge assumption to think that Mayweather only used the IV the one time he was essentially caught using it.

Tell me where in the contact it stated that 750 ml of IV-fluids which violates WADA guidelines would be considered a TUE? I'm sorry but just because USADA classifies something as a TUE doesn't mean it didn't violate WADA guidelines..and doesn't change the fact that the IV-injection would mask PEDs in the bloodstream...

Comparing Floyd's IV to Pac's shoulder injection which isn't banned by WADA guidelines is pretty irrelevant also... The issue is that Floyd was given a TUE for something that would have helped him cheat the tests and is banned by WADA which are the guidelines that were supposed to be followed by USADA in the contract.

Exactly, Floyd would have used an IV to beat the first test and the IV he was caught using made the 2nd test redundant.

Hauser managed to use his HBO connections to get inside but he was angry at Mayweather trying to boot him out.

March 2, 2012:

“I don’t mean to talk about Hauser the boxing journalist in the past tense, really, but it sure seems like it’s over—any fight with any HBO association that Hauser covers will now be subject to skepticism about an agenda he may have via HBO. Maybe it really is a dark day for boxing journalism.”—Scott Christ

“Hauser is still the best reporter in our sport when he’s on his game. But he’ll need a little rehab on his reputation after this before we can entirely trust his future reporting. Here’s one great way to start: He could think very carefully about how he uses anonymous sources, and strongly consider doing as little of it as possible going forward.”—Tim Starks

for the 1000 time he was tested before he took the IV and afterwords

Yeah USADA said so. USADA also told ESPN and SI that only Morales A sample had tested positive.

[MisanthropicNY]

Floyd applied on May 19th. We know this because its something USADA cant keep secret or lie about. Once the TUE is granted have to reveal the application date to NSAC and Manny per the contract.

Floyd applied for a waiver on May 19th lol...

I mean you basically have to have video of Floyd shooting up PEDs for some of these delusional Floyd-worshipers to believe something is fishy here...

Even then they'd have an excuse for why he wasn't cheating after getting caught on video doing it

[GTTofAK]

What I find amazing is that a star of Floyds notoriety cant go to the store without it being on TMZ but according to USADA a paramedic was called to his house the night before the biggest fight in a generation and no one noticed.

Not only are USADA a bunch of liars they are bad liars.



Apparently in this not too secluded community no one noticed an ambulance in front of Floyds house on the eve of one of the biggest fights in boxing history.
