Floyd didn't attempt to "write into contract" any specific protocols as you and Thomas Hauser suggested . USADA, a WADA signatory, adheres to the I.S.T.U.E. (international standard for theraputic use exemption) for proceedures and policies.
This practice was in place long before Floyd began using USADA.
and that an IV is only allowed in an emergency and only should be undertaken in a hospital
1. IV can be used to treat medical conditions that may not be deemed an emergency - so I am assuming you mean obtain a RETRO TUE in emergency situations - which AGAIN you are wrong and misinformed.
RETRO TUE may be considered if it's an
A) acute emergency or
B) there was not enough time to approve the tue prior to a sample or
C) the ADO isn't accepting normal tue applications for whatever reason or
D) wada and the ADO believes it is FAIR
2. It should be performed in a medical setting. Having it done in a hospital is not a requirement according to WADA.
, also that usada had no authority to issue a TUE, only the Nevada commission had that authority
However NSAC does not ban IV use. Therefore you can not apply for a TUE (exemption) for something that is not banned.
Hope this helps.
