You don't need to be a lawyer to know that USADA helped Floyd cheat...

They were notified of it within 24 hours of the TUE being granted, as per the rules in their contract. The problem is that the TUE was granted weeks after the fight. USADA meanwhile was in no rush to receive a TUE application, nor whey they in a rush to notify NSAC or Pacquiao's team.

"Nonetheless, because Mr. Mayweather was voluntarily taking part in a USADA program, and therefore subject to the rules of the WADA Code, he took the additional step of applying for a TUE after the IV infusion was administered in order remain in compliance with the USADA program. Although Mr. Mayweather's application was not approved until after his fight with Mr. Pacquiao and all tests results were reported, Mr. Mayweather did disclose the infusion to USADA in advance of the IV being administered to him."

In short, that's what USADA clearly states: Floyd took the IV before it was approved by USADA...

The rest of the statement is PR florilège...

The guy is toasted, as I said...

Told by Nevada commission members that UFC fighter Frank Mir similarly obtained a TUE from USADA last week that Nevada ruled inadmissible.
