Floyd Mayweather on "Special Substance"

[Eff Pandas]

A facelift is a performance enhancer now? I can't be bothered to look into why a facelift is linked to PED's, but if anyone is WAY into that **** & wants to break it down I'll read it.

And lets be 100 across the board. So far no one's legacy has been destroyed by PED usage anyway (I suppose you could say Chavez Jr has had his legacy hurt, but lets be real, he don't have much of a legacy & 2nd helpings & snack cakes ruined his potential legacy more than anything). There are probably a dozen or so notable guys who've been caught & suspended & some who've been caught & still fought & never got suspended, but I see no badly tarnished legacies. Mostly guys positive test results is equal to a police blotter episode a fighter had more than some Pete Rose level ****. Plus everyone is saying everyone is using PEDs anyway so lets say Manny and Floyd are PED'd up along with everyone else, they still have shown themselves to be the two best fighters of their PEDtastic era so who gives a ****.

Once again, can you point out where it was requested "well in advance"?

All I can see is him applying for and being given a TUE after the weigh in.

You might want to work on your conspiracy theory.

OK forget well in advance. Maybe he has a special arrangement with Usada for expedited processing and blanket approval. Generally these requests have to be evaluated carefully.

Just address the main part: why would Floyd need IV rehydration, with a masking agent or not? He doesn't dehydrate, and supposedly gains a couple of lbs fight night.

I'm not watching that now, I'm at work. Gimme the gist, as it relates to the question

Dehydrated. Dark urine, possibly due to overwork. Not struggling to make weight. That's pretty much it.

So now you are at work once he posts a video to answer all your questions?

IV hydration is rather suspect for someone who supposedly hydrates 1 lb fight night. Youtube video of someone with kindergarten literacy notwithstanding.

Funny how Floyd couldn't even provide his own personal explanation as to why he needed a saline IV drip for a mere 3 lb weight cut, he needed Ellerbe to answer the question with a rehearsed answer.

Given that he's pretty much on weight far in advance, doesn't seem like he'd need such drastic measures at the last minute, conveniently involving a masking agent.

So the tests before and after mean nothing, right?

I like how all of a sudden everyone is a PED expert, when they didn't want to hear about em 6 years ago. I wonder what/who the common denominator is.
