I wouldn't be upset if they investigated. Do I think they should? Not really since it would be a waste of time. It would be more pertinent for USADA to investigate because NSAC obviously doesn't care bout dehydration, doesn't note dehydration, and IV's aren't illegal as per their guidelines. It doesn't make sense for them to investigate. Let's be honest. Pacquaio (if he was investigated...? Did it even happen?) brought it on himself by being a coward and making up an excuse. I do understand your point that it should be fair and if one is investigated for lying then the other should be as well, so that's why I have no problem with it if they were to investigate. However, it's one thing to lie so that the show continues, and another thing to lie in a way that attacks the NSAC by saying they were told about Pacquaio's condition and unrightfully refused his request. He attacked NSAC with a lie and they fired back.
I've read it. He said they check inside the fighter's mouth. Where is the documentation that says what they found? Please show it to me. Was it written somewhere? You already admit that even if they did find him to be dehydrated, they would still allow him to fight! So what was their clear statement on whether he was dehydrated??? THAT I'd like to read. Would they ever document that any fighter is dehydrated since obviously it would allow them to incriminate themselves in the event something goes terribly wrong because of how lax they are about allowing dehydrated fighters to fight (you even agree they do this). THIS IS THE REASON I'VE TOLD YOU A BILLION TIMES THAT NSAC CAN'T BE USED AS ANY PROOF WITH CONCERN TO DEHYDRATION!!!
Last I checked, seems Hauser based his idea that Mayweather wasn't dehydrated only on pulse and blood pressure. I haven't seen where it has been shown that those always occur when someone is dehydrated. Hauser was proven wrong about various things by USADA (don't make me list all of the things he was proven wrong about) and you want me to believe what he says about the NSAC mouth check when 1. There is no documentation of it. 2. You admit that even if dehydration was found, NSAC would allow the fight to go on and 3. Hauser works for HBO, is at most a proven liar and at least a man who acts without all the facts in hand, and has already made unfounded accusations against Mayweather. Yea. Where is the proof of the 3 failed drug tests again??? Did you accept word of mouth from Uncle Roger about A-side Meth? Well, you should consider Hauser to be Pacquaio's Uncle Thomas.
Ok, this is all USADA's bag. I think we should be able to agree on that since NSAC doesn't even have rules against an IV and we both know they don't give a damn if a fighter is dehydrated. Let's get to the meat and potatoes here. This is what was needed for the TUE as far as I can see:
a. The Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method in question is needed to treat an acute or chronic medical condition, such that the Athlete would experience a significant impairment to health if the Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method were to be withheld.
c. There is no reasonable The****utic alternative to the Use of the Prohibited Substance or Prohibited Method.
I omitted the other 2 requirements since they are irrelevant (look them up if you want).
Now, I'm not sure what is defined as acute. I'm also not aware of whether the condition was chronic. I'm not sure what they mean by a significant impairment to his health. I think we would need HIS MEDICAL FILES to find that out. We would also need USADA to clarify. This is the point you can't seem to grasp. The question is, why has everyone on Pacquaio's side given up on trying to access these files? Do you really think that they would give up on this if there was a chance to make this into a much bigger stinker than it was? Come on, they would love to bring down Mayweather and USADA, and have a legitimate reason for a rematch, much more legitimate than a fake shoulder injury!
The reason that they gave up is because no proof exists to the contrary. Yet somehow you believe you proved otherwise. Ok, genius, send it along to Mr. Arum or Uncle Thomas, please. You proved your case? Have at it! I'm not joking. I really want you to do this! I would love to hear what comes of your overwhelming mountain of evidence. Will you promise to do this so we can end this debate?
Finally, I'm still wondering if you are so interested in the IV simply because you think he broke the WADA code, or because you think he was taking performance enhancing drugs. Is it right to say you believe the latter?
