Did Floyd Mayweather use PED's? (simple answer for an OG member please)

[New England]

it's very likely that he did. pacquiao, too. fi you don't suspect these guys of ped use you're a fanboy. pacquiao's former strength trainer had a fighter pop positive, and floyd was caught with an IV in his arm using the same conditioning coach.


floyd's IV debacle is more of a smoking gun, but that deosn't mean we shouldnt also suspect manny of PED use.

Did any of those guys get caught shooting up 15x the legal limit of a masking agent, then granted a TUE 3 weeks later by the testers on his payroll, in violation of their rules?

Anybody walks away from 40m when it's worth 3x that much, dumbfcuk

So you're saying 50ml is an approved method for a masking agent? Stop combining words. You follow me around in Lil'G threads and then you try to justify Mayweather by stating things already refuted long ago. The dumb Hauser following brigade. Without Hauser's article you wouldn't even be bandwagoning on it since Kevin Iole had already stated in news three months before Hauser. Learn how propaganda works and how Iole shut Hauser down. Journalist shutting down a fiction writer.

It's ok to feel owned by Huaser. Thats how he makes money from Ali books

[Weltschmerz]

Probably. As did many other elite athletes with or without getting away with it. A fundamental question comes down to what we want to see as spectators. People were amazed with what Lance Armstrong managed to win during his career, all along believing he was the one phenomenal clean rider.

I challenge any poster here to explain the logic behind Mayweather paying off USADA in order to abuse PEDs when keeping the following in mind:

A. Why mask with an IV if USADA was paid off?
B. Why would it be necessary to apply for a TUE if USADA was paid off?
C. Why leave a paper trail by applying for a TUE if USADA was paid off?
D. Why would USADA reveal the IV use if USADA was paid off?
E. Why did USADA fail to tip him off about when they would come if they were paid off? Could have turned their head to it altogether, which would be much safer.
F. Why would USADA take a partial sample from before the IV which would make it more difficult to pass if he was dirty if USADA was paid off?
G. Did he also pay off the WADA accredited labs in case aforementioned tests came back positive? Labs that would report any failed test directly to WADA as a part of their agreement to being WADA accredited.
H. Did he pay off WADA too, just in case?
I. How can anyone explain the other 20 drug tests he passed without the IV without speculation, knowing they were subjected to CIR testing and the Athlete Biological Passport.


So he paid them off so that he could cheat....and he paid them off to basically not help him to cheat in any way???? For an astute businessman, seems like a terrible waste of money, no?

[justnz27]

Of course not.

Floyd introduced the official Wada code to the sport of boxing by making olyimpic style testing mandatory for all of his fights.

Fighters like pacquiao, who were eventually forced to comply, not surprisingly had a rapid decline of physical ability inside the ring once stringent testing was introduced.

Not only is he a clean fighter, he should be applauded for cleaning up the sport.

Actually this is false , he did not clean up the sport he made it worst! Olympic style testing is all year around as long as a fighter is not retired, Floyd def used PEDs, why do i say tht? because he refused to fight anywhere but Las Vegas which permitted him to use without getting caught.

It's highly likely he did yes.

When you have the amount of money riding on fights and your brand, it's obvious you will do anything/everything to keep and grow that brand / level of paydays..

Is this common with elite high earning athletes?

probably.

Lance Armstrongs era WADA wasn't checking EPO and protocol as today. Michael Phelps supercedes Lance Armstrong. Apparently the USA has secretly protected him?

The problem is that Hauser convinced a fellowship and made Lance and Floyd synonymous. Lol.

Yet people are admitting that other elite athletes do it too. If that's all the case, then what's the point of judging any athlete. Comical favoritism towards fighters?

[Madison Boxing]

no and why would he need to with his style of boxing

[Dean_Razorback]

when he accused manny of using them he was projecting, you know.

[al-Xander]

Floyd Mayweather is the Lance Armstrong of boxing. At least Armstrong never made accusations on anybody.
