[aboutfkntime]

They are all sailing on the USS-WARD ship now.

Funny

This IV scandal that has destroyed Mayweathers legacy......

In the future, if historians are going to be fixated about Mayweathers deplorable steroid abuse..... then why doesn't wiki even mention it?

Now check out Pacs wiki and see what it says about random blood testing


Chill, I'm just trollin y'all !

Larry keeping it 100.

It is very true, Mayweather has NEVER had trouble making weight and even prides himself in walking around close to fight weight.

Remember the videos of him shoving big mac's down his throat and not thinking twice about it?

Larry ethered him.

But why would they risk everything for peanuts?

Peanuts? For a guy who makes a few 110k a year a 120k bonus isn't peanuts. Furthermore you are think that this is isolated. Remember Haymen and goldenboy switched from VADA to USADA after Peterson and Berto tested positive. USADA has tested 46 fights and caught no one except for Morales who the media caught. Every fight they over charge by approximately $20,000 given the difference between what they charge and VADA's and that is probably low because VADA does more extensive and expensive testing.

46 x $20,000 = $920,000

Hardly peanuts.

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.

Simple he is ******.

Their charge rate is not in question.

Putting their reputation and personal lives in peril for peanuts is.

They have made nothing even close to that from Mayweather.

Again, and I think this is the point you missed..... it would be far more lucrative for USADA to catch Mayweather, rather than defend him.

And, that does not explain why NSAC would also be complicit.

It sounds more and more like a fairy story as each day goes by.

[aboutfkntime]

Simple he is ******.

Come on man

So..... he is smart enough to bribe USADA, to bribe NSAC, and to fool the world..... but not smart enough to get the IV inserted in his ass ?

The irony of Larry Merchant:

December 23, 2009:

The idea of Manny being on steroids was first brought to the publics attention before the Miguel Cotto fight. Larry Merchant of HBO sports questioned Mannys' weight gain, along with his ability to easily move up in weight class unlike any fighter in history. Nonetheless, Manny plummeted Miguel Cotto to a 12th round TKO, winning an unprecedented world record setting 7th division title...

Mannys' camp is in a tough position, there's a few things that can happen. The first thing is, Mannys' camp can twist the story and make Floyd Mayweather the bad guy for requesting Olympic style drug testing. Mannys' camp can agree to the Olympic style drug testing and go into the ring risking the chance of being plummeted by Floyd Mayweather, however if he loses to Floyd in a beat down fashion everyone will say he's been juicing all along, lets put an asterisk next to his name. Finally, Mannys' camp can walk away from the fight and a $50 million purse, and leave everyone to question why the fight never happened.

Manny owes it to all true boxing fans to take the test and go along with the fight. There's no valid reason to why a clean fighter would walk away from the biggest payday in boxing history, all over a drug test. If your clean you got nothing to hide and that's that. Obviously Manny has something to hide, got to tip your hats to Larry Merchant for pointing this out before anyone else did.

Manny was not found to be using IV like froid which is way over the limit. Mayweather is surely a PED user. He should be investigated and be stripped of all his championship belts and his earnings.

[fcastro1]

Any which way you look at it he cheated against pacquiao and should be a no contest. He was way above the amount of I'v that he was allowed to use. He held it at his house which is apparently illegal. So he had a massive advantage in weight, or he was using it to hide peds. So why the *** is no one doing anything about this?

[elfag]

Theres multiple tests during training camp. What nobody ever talks about is that IVing right before the fight is only going to be useful for the final drug test.

Did floyd IV before every random drug test the entire camp?
