If anything this quote proves how much influence the media has:
1. Bob Bennet was influenced by the reaction to Thomas Hauser fictional editorial/questionnaire victor Conte/VADA propaganda "can boxing trust USADA".
2. Bob Bennet was unaware of WADA policies for signatories and that USADA MUST adhere to them in addition to NSAC rules.
3. NSAC was informed of the approved TUE by USADA in MAY - became PUBLIC knowledge when reported by KEVIN IOLE - yet Bob Bennett quote was in Sept after the the media hoopla and seemed to be shocked.
Bob Bennet got caught up, like we all did by Conte/hauser, and apologized to Floyd publicly - like he should've for anyone.
