Comments Thread For: Merchant Gives His Take on Mayweather IV Scandal

[aboutfkntime]

Just because no one noticed previously doesn't mean he hasn't done it previously. Armstrong never got caught. That doesn't mean he never took an IV.

#1 He was caught.

#2 USADA leaks like a sieve. The late TUE application is just a CYOA with USADA expecting a leak.

Because he had never been caught before.

People say that Mayweather has USADA in his pocket, and yet he cant even pay off the testers

The reason why this first became news is because they detected IV use and reported it.

Lets not forget that.

And Mayweather has been randomly tested for years, and yet no other report of IV use has surfaced.

Come on man.

That is the number one " first ".

The next thing we hear is that USADA officials actually knew about the IV use because they had received a call from Mayweather asking them for help, and when they arrived a medical response team was already present.

He has never called USADA before.

That is is the number two " first ".

Then we find out that they granted him a TUE, which nobody had ever heard of, a documented record, that he has not requested or been issued previously.

That is the number three " first ".

Come on man..... three " firsts " are far more likely to be a genuine legitimate exception than say..... publicly refusing random blood tests for 5 years

I dont take this shht too seriously at all. It is waaay overblown, like a lot of stuff that gets airtime on this site.

USADA isnt' the testers. They are the collection agency and compliance. The testers are WADA approved labs. VADA uses the same labs.

USADA cant and doesn't have to fake test results. As we saw in the Morales case all they have to do is not report postive test results and hand out TUEs like napkins.

The reason why this first became news is because they detected IV use and reported it.

Floyd applied fur his TUE 3 weeks later. Do you think it was slow paperwork of USADA feared yet another leak?

Lets not forget that.

Armstrong used IVs to mask PEDs for years and was never once caught using an IV. After the fact his handlers boasted about walking IVs right past the waiting USADA tester. It seesm the Floyd was simply ****ing ****** enough to get caught.

He never called USADA at all. USADA called him. Here is a far more simple expliation.

Fact Haymen, Golden Boy and TMT originally decided to use VADA.

Fact, VADA busted two Haymen fighters Berto and Peterson costing hte above a lot of money.

Fact, after VADA did their jobs and busted Berto and Peterson the above decided to switch collection and compliance agencies from VADA to USADA.

Here is what happened that night. USADA calls Mayweather and tells him the tester is coming. Mayweather paid them $150,000 for this service. Mayweather takes a saline IV to drop his free testosterone density.

The tester who is a salaried employee shows up and find that Mayweather was ****** enough to offer the same arm the just had the IV in. The USADA tester isn't in on the game since its the executives who get a nice fat bonus check from that $150,000. He reports it to the higher ups.

Rumors spread around USADA and after 3 weeks the executives are scared that the story is about to leak just like the Morales story leaked. They tell Floyd to apply for a retroactive TUE and approve it the very next day.

cool story bro

way to make shht up

[aboutfkntime]

It is highly unlikely that Mayweather is using steroids for the following reasons.....

1) steroids dont benefit his game other than stamina, and everybody knows that Mayweathers training sessions and roadwork are legendary

2) he has undertaken additional drug testing for years

3) the IV thing is almost certainly waaay overblown.

For Mayweather to be using steroids, both USADA and NSAC would have to protecting him.

And that is real tin-foil hat stuff right there.

An earlier poster tried to suggest that Mayweather bribed USADA with 150k.

150k ?

Lets have a poll, how much would it cost to bribe USADA/NSAC ?

I case you didn't notice USADA has given only a story. They have provided no documentation what so ever to support it.

What is more beleivable.

Floyd was dehydrated after dropping all of 4.5lbs over 3 weeks and called USADA or USADA gave Froid a head up on when the tester was coming.

I'm surprised it took 150k. If you knew how non profits work all "profit" gets funneled back frequently to executive bonuses. If you pay USADA $150,000 for $30,000 of testing that is $120,000 that can go right to their executives bonuses.

You only told half the story.....

USADA's " story " was fully endorsed by NSAC, who said the exact same thing.

The two official sanctioning bodies investigated, and ruled accordingly.

And if USADA " gave Froid a head up on when the tester was coming ", he would not have been caught with IV marks in his arm..... also, if Mayweather was masking, why would he put the IV into his arm so the marks would be noticed by the testers, he could have put the drip anywhere.

It sounds like soooeeeyyy to me.

I think that the three " firsts " tell the story..... nothing to see here.

You seem to think that is a lot of money.

That is likely half-a-years salary to USADA/NSAC officials.

You think it would take half-a-years salary to bribe USADA or NSAC..... where I think it would take closer to 10 years salary to bribe USADA/NSAC.

I just cant see it.

If Floyd was innocent he would have sued Hauser. Instead he is ducking questions about the illegal IV.
