The Nevada State Athletic Comission called USADA "unprofessional and unnaceptable"

[_Maxi]

This is something that was ignored back in the day. The NSAC director said he was disappointed with USADA. He blamed them (and not Mayweather) for the way they handed a TUE to Mayweather when they were not supposed to have the authority to do so, and more than that, they waited three weeks to inform the NSAC about that IV they should have immediately informed.

As far as USADA, I was extremely disappointed that I wasn't notified right away (about Mayweather receiving an IV). When it comes to TUE, we are the sole agency that approves the administering of TUEs. USADA, nor any other anti-doping agency that does drug testing, doesn't have the authority to adminster a TUE.

"The bottom line is USADA didn't keep us informed, which is totally unacceptable and unprofessional.

And people ask why VADA is better than USADA? Before the "Can boxing trust USADA article" USADA had caught only 1 fighter in 46 fights. While VADA had caught 3 fighters in less than half fights. VADA continued to catch dopers and has now become the standard of testing in boxing.

Not to mention that in Cycling, Armstrong passed every USADA test. He was never caught by USADA.

Do you think that fighters should get tested by both agencies just to be safe?

Too costly. VADA is the rule now.

They also said Mayweather did nothing wrong.

Of course. They can't blame Mayweather for anything. It's USADA who:

1) Granted a TUE when they were not allowed to grant TUEs.
2) Waited three weeks before informing the NSAC and Top-Rank.

Now they should explain why... So I guess the article Can boxing trust USADA was right in the sense that no, boxing can't trust USADA.

They did explain why in the response to Hausers article. Go look it up, instead of talking about something when you aren't informed.

"I think they are probably one of the most ineffective and inefficient organizations in the world for the amount of money — and I'm not criticizing. It just is what it is — I'm not criticizing Travis or the organization.

"But if you consider a budget of $10 or $15 or $20 million a year, and then you lay that out over the testing results, which come back at ... 0.2% ... 0.7% come back as positive, we know that is not a realistic number. I don't know what the number is, whether it's 10 or 20 or 50, I don't know. But that tells you that that system is broken, too." --Lance Armstrong

Show it to me. I saw that when it came to Bennett's words, they didn't say anything about it. NOTHING. They replied with something that did not explain the NSAC's words. They didn't explain why THEY gave the TUE, and why it took three weeks for them to inform about it. Actually they confirm they informed about it on May 21st.

So my questions are:

1) Why is the NSAC saying that USADA didn't have the authority to grant a TUE? why is NSAC calling them unprofessional for doing so? how is it that an IV is not illegal by the NSAC, but the NSAC director is saying that it needs NSAC approval first?

2) Why did it take three weeks to USADA to approve the IV? It's not reasonable. It was approved instantly by the USADA people that was there with Mayweather, but officially it took them three weeks to grant a TUE? doesn't make sense to me, and doesn't make sense to NSAC. Don't play smart with me.
