This thread let's try to be unbiased and really think about this first, it's a question I've asked others before with no answers.
Floyd came out in 2009 or so about drug testing. He flat out did not trust that pacquaio was clean, and it had also been noted by many that the NSAC's testing was as old as dinosaurs. It was a known fact that the NSAC'S tests would NOT pick up HGH, EPO, and many other designer PEDs, it was also known the testing could easily be manipulated.
Travis Tygart took over USADAs program "Travis T. Tygart became USADA’s Chief Executive Officer in September of 2007". Anyone who knows anything about testing knows Tygart was after lance Armstrong the entire time until Armstrong finally gave up and admitted his use.
To make this short, lance Armstrong was and still is a highly popular name in the sports world, more popular imo than Floyd Mayweather is, though Floyd is still popular enough.
Tygart was after Armstrong from the beginning when he took over USADA.
The question is...if Floyd was indeed using, why would Tygart not want to put him in a situation where he could let the cat out of the bag? Money? Armstrong was worth 125 million dollars at the time. While that's not 500+ million that Floyd has, Tygart could've gotten a nice payday from Armstrong and just kept quiet right? With all of the theories about all of this, I find it hard to believe Tygart would not want to expose Floyd if there was wrong doing. Tygart would get accolades for busting some of the biggest athletes in 2 decades, and the recognition of that would be far more than the risk of getting caught with bribery.
To me, the temptation to further my career and become a hero seems like a better option than the above.
