because the NSAC was doing damage control to distract people from the fact that IVs are allowed in nevada. only NSAC can grant an exemption to nevada rules, but what floyd did was allowed under nevada rules. so a nevada exemption wasn't needed. what was needed was a USADA exemption, since floyd & pac voluntarily agreed to regulations stricter than NSAC required.
but the situation exposed the fact that NSAC rules are behind the times. which is why the NSAC hemmed and hawed to sound strong in the eyes of the media & fans, hoping nobody would notice that NSAC rules are so weak that floyd was forced to hire an outside agency to make sure manny was clean.
doesn't make sense to you because you have no idea what you're talking about. the doping control officer that was there in person does not have the authority to approve anything. TUE has to be applied for so USADA can investigate, speak to the DCO, medical professionals, gather the facts, etc and determine if the use was legitimate.
that takes time. in this instance, a few weeks. which isn't uncommon at all.

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.
