Do you understand what is meant by the minimum? That USADA does all the steps that is expected of them but USADA doesn't follow thru with it like they could have.
So Floyd and his doctor come up with the BS excuses then that is all the USADA TUEC has to go on.
Here is but one example:
"In July 2015, Rupp and his coach Alberto Salazar were accused by former members of the Oregon Project of manipulating the TUE system for performance gain and faking symptoms in an effort to be prescribed legal thyroid medications. Those medications could help with a runner’s energy levels, allowing an athlete to train with more intensity and volume. Rupp, who won the bronze medal at the 2016 Olympic marathon, and Salazar have strongly denied those accusations."
"There are three pillars in which the whole TUE system rests.
“The first is an honest athlete, the second one is that you need a doctor with the integrity and the ethics to not also manipulate the system, and the third one is that you need credible oversight from the sport’s governing body and then WADA,” he said.
“If any one of those three things fails, then the TUE system can be abused.”
and then there is the fact that WADA is not even likely to review the BS RETRO TUE as there was no request, no monetary compensation and as WADA representative said, they were not even monitoring the case of Floyd Mayweather.
