Do you realize that USADA was one of the main organizations going after Lance to prove he was guilty, or do you just not know much about his case? I could post various information to prove that, but since you claim to know so much about Lance, you should know that.
By the way, you admitted what I was sure of. You feel you have something valid when it comes to dehydration (when you don't have anything conclusive at all), but you are having a major issue making that quantum leap to Floyd using PED's. So in the worst case scenario, you have Floyd rehydrating with saline and vitamin C and beating Pacquaio. Don't see much to complain about.
By the way, I already showed you how the science for the masking conspiracy doesn't even add up. You never told me what you think of that. Here it is summarized:
In general, when IV saline is used for blood volume replacement, one litre is recommended to produce a 250 ml. increase in blood volume.
So, while 750 ml does equate to “roughly 16 percent of the blood normally present in the average male”, the sustained increase in blood volume corresponding to a 750 ml. Saline IV infusion would likely be in the region of 3-4%, not 16%. Similarly, Hauser postulates that a 750 ml IV saline infusion would be enough to reduce haematocrit levels from 55% to 47%, but the reality is that closer to three litres of IV saline would be required to produce a similar reduction.
Incidentally, Hauser is correct to point out that Mayweather’s final pre-fight blood test was on April 21st (Manny Pacquiao’s was a day later on April 22nd) but both fighters underwent a post-fight blood test on May 2nd. A 750 ml. IV saline infusion received on May 1st might alter the results of a blood test administered immediately afterwards, but it would do little to fool a test the next day.
if USADA is willing to cover things up for Floyd, as Hauser is strongly suggesting, it begs the question; why would Mayweather bother using an IV as a masking agent?
The Mayweather T/E ratios provided were 0.8 and 0.69 respectively. In Hauser’s article, former PED kingpin Victor Conte described “abnormally low” T/E ratios as “a red flag,” with the clear implication being that Mayweather’s results were su****ious. Yet just last month, a study on the steroid profile of 4,195 male football players in UEFA competition was published. The results showed T/E ratios varied between 0.02 and 8.6 with roughly one-third of players showing a T/E ratio less than or equal to 0.9. Mayweather’s T/E ratio was low, slightly below average but is it so low as to allow us to draw the conclusions Mr. Hauser is suggesting?
Furthermore, in January of this year, Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier met at UFC 182. The results of the drug tests carried out by the NSAC in the lead up to this fight make interesting reading. Jones posted three T/E ratios; 0.35, 0.29 and 0.19. Cormier posted T/E ratios of 0.4 and 0.48. If Mayweather’s results are “abnormally low,” I’m not sure what Hauser would call these far, far lower results.
Mr. Hauser questioned whether Mayweather’s T/E ratio had prompted the samples to undergo carbon isotope ratio (CIR) testing. We don’t know if they did or if they didn’t. But we do know that both Jones and Cormier, with far lower T/E ratios, had their samples undergo CIR and according to NSAC executive director Bob Bennett, both tested negative for exogenous steroids.
By the way, we now do know that CIR testing was done. So um....what you got? Are you ready to move onto point #2 on PED use? Would love to hear your evidence that refutes the evidence presented here.
