Mayweather's IV injection (Master thread)

[imperial1]

floyd will have to shell out a lot of $$$ to cover this issue now and long after his retirement...

he is a sitting duck for all those in the know...just a matter of time..

Right now there is a wait see approach. But eventually more and more evidence will come out ..

That man cheated and paid people to sweep it under the rug.

The hurt is strong with this one.

Your hero is a cheat. You just have to live with that FACT.

You can call Mayweather whatever you want, but buy a dictionary momo. For all the dissing of Mayweather & some of ya'll Mayweather haters can't read either. How f#cking ironic.

Seems to be very common in sports where footballers prehydrate with IV saline on average 1500 ml is used which more than twice the amount Floyd used .

Some interesting reading in this .


A recent survey of the National Football League teams revealed that 75% (24 of 32) of the teams utilized IV infusion of fluids for prehydration in at least some otherwise healthy individuals.22 The most common reason cited was the prevention of muscle cramps (23 of 24 teams). Of teams that administered IV fluids prior to competing, there was an average of 5 to 7 athletes per team receiving IV infusions.22 Prior to this survey, the use of IV fluid hydration had not been evaluated in other cohorts of athletes.13,22,51

Timing of IV and the type of fluids utilized prior to competition had not been studied regarding exercise performance. In the National Football League, an average of 1.5 L of normal saline was administered approximately 2.5 hours prior to competition.22

Get the fack out of here! First of all, does the NFL even follow WADA rules and allow WADA to do the tests on their players? I'm not updated on NFL and their drug testing policy but a simple google search would reveal that in September 2013 () WADA has this to say about the NFL. Oh and in case you didn't notice, the link you gave was published on July 2012.

"On the eve of the NFL's latest showpiece game at Wembley the World Anti-Doping Agency has warned American football that its drugs policy needs to be more transparent otherwise people will believe the sport has "something to hide".

David Howman, the director-general of Wada, also voiced his frustration that blood-testing for human growth hormone in the NFL had been delayed by the players' union, who had tried "every possible way to avoid testing".

The NFL's collective bargaining agreement with the players' union also means the league is not allowed to declare which substance a banned player has taken. That leads to a knock-on effect, with players increasingly blaming a positive test on Adderall - a minor but banned stimulant used to treat ADHD - even though there is no way of knowing whether they are telling the truth.

"There's a lack of transparency in the process and that is part of what we are trying to persuade them to alter," said Howman. "But this is what comes about through collective bargaining because you get people holding out for something that may not be to the benefit of the greater good. It's a weakness of the process."

But there could be implications for the drug-testing of NFL players in Britain. Wada has no jurisdiction over the NFL's drug policies, and, unless the rules changed, the NFL, rather than the UK anti-doping agency, would be responsible for testing players from a London franchise.

What's funny is that here are also some things you failed to quote in the link that you yourself gave **** rider:

Currently, there are no published studies describing IV fluid use during the course of an event, at intermission, or after the event as an ergogenic aid.

According to World Anti-Doping Agency regulations, the routine practice of administering IV fluids (>50 mL per 6 hours) to healthy individuals is prohibited. The code states the following in section M2, numeral 2: "Intravenous infusions and/or injections of more than 50 mL per 6 hour period are prohibited except for those legitimately received in the course of hospital admissions or clinical investigations." There are numerous sports and governing bodies that are not subject to the World Anti-Doping Agency's jurisdiction, including the National Collegiate Athletic Association and most professional leagues in the United States. The association does not have IV utilization guidelines, nor does it include IV fluids among the current banned substances for sports other than wrestling.73 For National Collegiate Athletic Association wrestling, "artificial means of rehydration (that is, intravenous hydration) are also prohibited to allow participation and use of such is a violation of weight-management rules".

Time allowing, euhydration can be achieved in the vast majority of individuals by drinking and eating normal beverages and meals.29 If rapid recovery from dehydration is desired, one should ingest 1.5 L of fluid for each kilogram of body weight lost. Replacing 150% of body weight loss over 60 minutes has been tolerated without complications.68 Even though the majority of cases of dehydration can be treated via oral consumption, IV treatment of severe dehydration (>7% body weight loss), exertional heat illness, nausea, emesis, or diarrhea, and in those who cannot ingest oral fluids for other reasons, is clinically indicated.2,3,7,23,68 Otherwise, as the American College of Sports Medicine consensus guidelines state, "IV fluids do not provide an advantage over drinking oral fluids and electrolytes."

The tonicity of IV fluid rehydration has been investigated in 8 men in a dehydration protocol (185 minutes with a 4% body weight loss).39 Rehydration was achieved with 0.9% IV normal saline, 0.45% IV normal saline, or 0.45% oral normal saline over the first 45 minutes of a 100-minute rest period with a goal of reducing the deficit to 2%. The subjects then stood for 20 minutes at 36°C, followed by walking at 50% VO2 max for 90 minutes. Neither the tonicity nor mode of hydration resulted in improved speed of rehydration


The hydration routes in acclimated and nonacclimated highly trained cyclists were studied by dehydrating to 4% body weight loss.9 Rehydration occurred to 2% body weight loss with 0.45% oral or IV fluid. A control group received no fluids. Subjects then cycled at 70% VO2 peak to exhaustion in 37°C. No difference was found in exercise time to exhaustion. Plasma volume was better restored during rehydration with IV fluids at preexercise and 5 minutes of exercise. At 15 minutes, there was no difference between IV and oral rehydration

The effect of IV hydration on recovery following marathon running has been studied.54 IV fluids were administered immediately postmarathon to assess time to recovery in 66 participants. The experimental group received 2.5 L of 2.5% glucose/0.45% sodium chloride solution, whereas the placebo group received 100 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride solution. No significant differences between the groups were found for time to recovery, number of days with pain, number of days with stiffness, sleep disturbance, fatigue, rectal temperature, and loss of appetite.

Convincing research to support IV fluid administration prior to competition for performance enhancement, dehydration prevention, or muscle cramp prevention does not exist. Current studies do not support the use of IV fluids for rehydration when an athlete can tolerate oral fluids.

Or are you saying that Froid lost more than 7% of body weight hence why he has a severe dehydration case LOL!

So as you can see, the link you gave shoots down Froid Armstrongs "dehydration" excuse as the need for the IV infusion. Froid **** riders are so ****** that they don't even know that the link they are posting will only shoot their own argument down LMAO! Bye **** rider

Pacquiao lost to socks, goddess of luck (Marquez 4) and recently IV


I'm sorry but

Loooooool. I like how the shoulder is no longer an issue now. Hilarious.

He didn't take illegal substances. He took legal substances through a method that is illegal and higher than legal quantity.

Not entirely true. The method is illegal because the method is used to mask and flush down illegal substances. Which means that we cannot say for certain that he didn't take illegal substances. But if we add two and two together, it's real easy to know what's up.

UCN's Steve Kim discusses the Mayweather doping scandal with Michael Montero and Doug Fischer, how this su****ion will affect Floyd's reputation, how extensive USADA's testing is and whether Floyd will be perceived as a hypocrite due to his longstanding crusade for a clean sport.
