Comments Thread For: USADA Reacts To Floyd Mayweather/IV Use Scandal

[BrometheusBob.]

Furthermore the Pacquiao camp was informed of the IV use by Mayweather.

There's nothing here.

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.

Riddled with inaccuries but then says all of the details related to Mayweather were accurate lol. The only thing they added on that was that Mayweather disclosed the infusion in advance to USADA, which isn't consistent with what the NSAC has claimed they were told by USADA. Even so that doesn't explain why the retroactive TUE was granted so much later than they supposedly knew about it. Further, they are intentionally trying to mislead by pointing out that the IV saline is not prohibited by NSAC. Who cares? They were doing USADA testing, which Mayweather insisted on, where it is banned presumably for a reason.

That's the only new information really and that itself has to be proven, even though it wouldn't make much of a difference.

Even considering this, the breach of protocol falls on USADA. This boils down to a jurisdiction issue at best. I know you guys want to see Floyd punished, but he disclosed everything as he was supposed to.

Bob Bennett:

When it comes to TUE, we are the sole agency that approves the administering of TUEs. USADA, nor any other anti-doping agency that does drug testing, doesn't have the authority to adminster a TUE.
