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

[justicia liga]

For the sake of clarity on the urine sampling that day; Mayweather gave a PARTIAL urine sample before the IV infusion and much later he gave a PARTIAL urine sample after the IV infusion.

The 2 partial urine samples weren't tested individually but combined and the resulting urine was the one that was tested.

USADA’s Detailed Correction to: Can Boxing Trust USADA?

"... Mr. Mayweather provided PARTIAL urine samples to USADA BOTH PRIOR TO AND FOLLOWING the infusion. The urine provided by Mr. Mayweather on
May 1, 2015, was subsequently tested and has been reported by the
World Anti-Doping Agency accredited laboratory as negative. "

Great post! NSAC bought it. Nobody is a big all encompassing word. Pointing out a single person defeats it instantly, but you knew this already.

Interesting perspective. Here is my sense of the matter as deciphered via my 3rd eye vision. GUILTY; tough concept I understand but since this isn't philosophy class, I'll just take comfort in the fact that Floyd has been repeatedly linked to the same methods of beating PED tests that Armstrong, the king of beating PEDs, used.

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

Excellent point. Any which way you look at it. Floyd obviously cheated.

larry's an out of touch, old windbag, but he's spot on with this one.

floyd's behavior, and USADA's response, has been highly su****ious.

That is the only thing that I found strange.

It should have been a blood test.

Everything else looks like soooeeeyy.

The fact that this is obviously just a one-off occurance/exception, as proven by the 3 "firsts"..... and the fact that USADA and NSAC both investigated and cleared Mayweather of any wrongdoing..... combined with the fact that Mayweathers game is about technique/precision, and steroids will not help at all in that regard..... means that this is likely overblown and irrelevant.

Personally, I think that a lot of people were just happy to move on from the Pacquiao loss..... this has provided a nice distraction

This is a non-issue that is not even being discussed in the mainstream media..... boxing historians wont even mention it.

Look at this dumb fck getting biblical lol fckin lames are hilarious.

oh oh, it hurt, yes, boy, be man enough to admit it hurts you so much that your tbe let you down flat....you avoided the issue of cheating and resorted to short cheap shot...

cheap shot like floyd's cheap shot to ortiz....

Actually, you can cheat a blood test. It's rather difficult to do and you would need some medical training. It's almost like a magic trick. Saw a case where a doctor being accused of **** cheated a blood test. But that's irrelevant and I'm just going on a technical rant.

But yeah mainstream media isn't even touching this topic. I think they talked about Floyd - Pac soooo much that they feel like they can't go back to it after so much time as passed. It won't even get talked about decades from now and at the end of the day, they're just gonna say Floyd beat Pac.

Funny.

For years the whole boxing community wondered why Top Rank didn't wany WADA and made excuses in always postponing the fight.

We never heard, Arum, Roach, or Pac once mention the curiosity that Floyd was on PEDs. They left that to the writers....Somehow, in an 18 year champion run not once did you hear the 3 stooges claim it on Floyd.

Top Rank drags Floyd's name for years ducking the real p4p champion. They say Floyd wants special demands, excuses, excuses, excuses.

Floyd says enough of it. He states an opinion that if you don't want to do blood testing you must be on something. Top Rank cries about it and then they go the legal route and claim slander and libel as to pretend they didn't start this ridiculous drama.

In the end...Pac goes broke, owes serious taxes, they have no choice but to submit to Floyd's kindness in actually giving them a fight...then these malicious goons hire Hauser to STILL go after Floyd, guided by HBO...

I'm happy Floyd schooled these pathetic runts. #48.

all the above won't help your case on floyd's iv scandal....

deflecting the issue is not the same as probing beyond reasonable doubt that floyd did not cheat....

consider that the issues surrounding the iv use, the late tue application and late tue approval by a body not authorized to issue such are still not fully resolved...

I actually have a surprise regarding the whole IV scandal. But I am saving that for a special day! You guys think Hauser's fiction worked? The IV issue is nothing! Be ready.
