Swimmer Ryan Lochte suspended 14 months for illegal IV by USADA (hypocrisy?)

[Larry the boss]

USADA can not suspend any boxer as they have no jurisdiction..nor can VADA The commission that sanctions the bout has to the authority...

[The Big Dunn]

Explain why they asked for the TUE 21 days later, please...

USADA explained when they responded to Hauser's letter. NSAC made their position clear. You've read both dozens of times.

[Larry the boss]

Not sure why ya'll do not understand that all VADA and USADA do is test, they have no authority over any boxer period...the commission has the final say

Ima Floyd fan but some of you take it too personal. it's like your husband is on trial. you guys react too funny when Floyd is questioned or scrutinised. im a fan not a groupie. I'm not whining or crying im just simply pointing out this hypocrisy. Pacquiao fans are the same way. when are you idiots gonna understand you're only a FAN not a friend.

back to topic .. everybody keep bringing up how he was approved for a TUE. but that's exactly why its shady. he was approved May 20th for a fight that took place May 2nd when USADA website states you must apply for an exemption "in advance". that is funny to me.

the bolded.

No, they report what happens and the commission makes the decision...The iv use was not illegal in Vegas so he did nothing wrong

They didn't ask for it 21 days laters. There was a USADA DOC at Floyds house who took a sample of urine before the IV and a sample after. Floyd notified USADA about the IV beforehand and the DOC was at the house when the paramedic was called and observed as the paramedic provided the IV. The TUE was approved 21 days later.


The IV thing with Floyd was something Thomas Hauser wrote about wanting to convince the public that Floyd was taking PEDs. Hauser has had a hard on for Floyd for years. Funny thing is, there was no long article about Canelo and the failed test because he works for Oscar and writes articles for Ring.

They really don't get it....

Actually VADA and USADA collect test and they use the same WADA labs to get the results. Wasn't VADA who made Brandon Rios give a urine sample in a regular drinking cup when he fought Manny. Next thing you know Brandon test positive for a band substance in a energy drink.
