You don't make sense.

If they don't need approval why did NSAC deny it? They could have said to Pac, you don't need approval for that, just take it.

Why would fighters be allowed to take pain killers if they are not in pain? Shouldn't they be asking what's causing you pain that you need to take pain killers?

USADA's job is to test for banned substances that is all they do. If it's not banned it doesn't matter to them. They aren't their to enforce NSAC rules or do NSACs job.

LOL at Hauser's weak attempts to throw dirt on commissions and testing agencies for this.

Gotta love Hauser though. He shrugs at Team Pac 'lying' to the commission by not properly disclosing an injury and actually blames doctors for not asking about why Pac was taking WADA approved drugs, yet when Mayweather 'lies' to the commission, here's how Hauser responds :

Meanwhile, the Nevada State Athletic Commission should also follow up on the matter. At a minimum, this would involve (1) requiring Mayweather and the appropriate Showtime personnel to testify under oath, and (2) requesting that subpoenas be issued for all relevant video content.

NSAC executive director Bob Bennett is a former FBI agent. He knows how to investigate something of this nature. And because Bennett is a former FBI agent, the commission will look pretty silly if it comes to light later on that its members were lied to and did nothing about it.

It's one thing if the Nevada State Athletic Commission accommodates Mayweather by allowing him to fight Miguel Cotto after he has pled guilty to battery domestic violence but not yet served his sentence. That's a choice, however unfortunate, that the NSAC made freely and knowingly. It's a very different matter if Mayweather has disrespected the commission and made a mockery of its proceedings by lying to the commissioners.

The credibility of both the Nevada State Athletic Commission and Showtime is at stake. If Mayweather told the truth at the September 23 hearing, then heads should roll at Showtime. And if it was Mayweather who lied, it's time for the NSAC to say, "Enough is enough!" That would include re-examining Mayweather's license as a boxer and also the issue of whether Mayweather Promotions is fit to be licensed as a promoter in Nevada.

One assumes that Nevada governor Brian Sandoval (who bears ultimate responsibility for the commission and its actions) will be watching. So will Les Moonves. Either Showtime has deliberately deceived its subscribers and the general public or the five commissioners of the Nevada State Athletic Commission have been played for fools.

Hypocrite, much?

Ok, and the well known professional orthopaedic surgeon would just put his livelyhood at risk just to lie for Pacquiao. A livelyhood that probably earns him millions every year. He will now take the risk of losing his license to ever practice again.

We are getting into the realm of ridiculous in this thread.

B..b.but Pacquiao's doctors did the same when they cleared him fit to fight and he wasn't. ..........

That's what I said, this whole USADA and NSAC thing became a clusterf~ck.

Fighter told 5 days prior, he can use pain killer injection fight night. Fight night, fighter finds out he's not allowed said injection.

Clusterf~ck.

Caused by Pacquiao's team not filling out the form correctly. Only themselves to blame.

Lying about doing surgery will lose your license.

Professional opinion will not lose your license.

Don't even get me started about that guy, what a joke.

Lol, yes Hauser clearly writes with a biased lean. To these people, it's not even about boxing anymore. Mayweather is the greatest fighter in about a decade, they can't no longer deny it anymore so they just try to focus on whatever negatives they could find elsewhere. This is what boxing has become nowadays.

Look, I couldn't careless what happened days after the fight, the only thing matters is when fighters have reasonable excuses JUST AFTER the fight, I mean in the ring, not after they talked with the suited smart guys about how they can spin it. If somebody doesn't say any meaningful excuse after the fight but later comes up with something --> I take it as a lie automatically, o matter what...
I didn't say that the injury was non existent I said that it didn't affect the fight and probably didn't come out during the fight. It's probably an old injury what didn't affect to anything and now thy can use it as an excuse.
As I said if he would said it after the fight I would probably believe it but they came out with that a day later. What did Pac said after the fight to Kellerman? "I won", this was the maximum, no words about any injury.
And add the fact that Pc ******ly claimed that his injury came out in the third round. Lmao... the fourth round was his best and the first two was took by Mayweather just as easily as most of the rounds.
