Mayweather's IV injection (Master thread)

[BrometheusBob.]

Where's the proof it wasn't warranted? What was Floyd's condition? Have you got the answers to these questions?

If you don't, you can't make blanket statements that "rules were broken".

Zero people involved have denied that the TUE was for rehydration purposes. In fact, Mayweather and Ellerbe have been vocal about the fact that it was for rehydration. Before Hauser was in the picture, Iole reported the same volume and mixtures and the same listed purpose on the TUE.

If it is the case that the TUE was approved under cirumstances that they would normally approve, ie Mayweather had been hospitalized or etc, then I'll take back what I said.

I can't believe people are still trying so hard to defend this. 90% of boxing fans know the truth.

good thing i saved it...


the stuttering and constant pointing to Ellerbee is priceless

Priceless! LMAO! They had the nerve to mention blood being taken as one of the reasons for Floyds IV looooooool!!!!!!!!!!!!
The irony!!!

[Robbie Barrett]

His camp has already stated he was dehydrated. Since severe dehydration is defined as a loss of 10% body weight and he weighed in well prior to the fight at about 150 we know he was not suffering from sever dehydration. As such the claimed level of dehydration can be at most mild to moderate for which treatment with an IV is banned by WADA and also bared from any TUE.

It goes by the % of water not body weight. A 400lb man (probably an American) doesn't have to lose 40lb in fluid to be severely dehydrated.

Are you saying Floyd is a fat ass. These Floyd fans are grasping at straws trying to find exceptions to the rule but actually hurting their case.

[Rath]

That's nothing look at this dehydrated guy

Rios is fine he looks good to me.

But Floyd? he looks so dehydrated in this picture a drought in africa is nothing compared to how he looks in this picture

[Rath]

thanks for the picture.

i don't see anything about Rios that says he was dehydrated

you know isaac, his brain needs a little twerking.

[Divine Hammer]

Exactly, they aren't. It's amazing how many people are running their mouths without knowing the facts.

The NSAC DOES NOT BAN IV USE. It's USADA that bans it's use.

People are saying "I've never heard of an athlete needing an IV."

Well these people are ignorant. IV use has been WIDE SPREAD in MMA (including the UFC) for YEARS.

yes and floyd has to comply by WADA code because he was taking part in USADA TESTING!!! TUEs should not be handed out for simple dehydration according to wada code (especially retroactive tue which is more reserved for medical emergencies). WADA has a set of specific criteria that should be met before a tue is handed out. simple dehydration can be easily fixed with oral rehydration (and WADA recommends this) so how is it that usada allows this to happen??? because it shouldn't have happened AT ALL.

look, floyd was 150.5 lbs 3 weeks before manny pacquiao fight.


also floyd himself said during the berto weigh-in that he makes 147 lbs easily!!!!! so if iv therapy is obviously not for rehydration purposes then what's it for???? HMMMMMMMMMMMM. this all reeks of doping and cover up. DON'T BE BLIND!

and isn't mma banning iv therapy now that they're adopting usada testing??????????
