Mayweather's IV injection (Master thread)

[Spoon23]

I want a Floyd fan to answer this.

What is the supporting evidence that no alternative treatment (i.e.--drinking orally) could have been used? Why hasn't USADA given the reason why Floyd needed 750ml worth of IVS.

I repeat to you flowmos. Why hasn't USADA explained their reason in detail why Floyd needed IVS? Why?

I am not a fllowmo, nor a pacroid, or whatever you fellow boxing fans call them. Boxing fan!

Investigation time! Enough said!
But Floyd beat PAC easy. Superior boxing skills.

PAC one dimensional but much more exciting than Floyds fights to the casual observer! But Floyd easily beat PAC! Even his HBO commentators, & roach say so!

Nothing will happen, nothing will change! I love that Vader gif you put up! Very funny, and possibly true!

Still laughing about it!

Thanks spoon!

Mawyeather Sr. said in his own words that little junior could even go down to 140 but because he's so damn good he can fight at these higher weights..now tell me...why would you need that much rehydration if your own daddy thinks you can go down to junior welterweight...he's been there at the gym sees his son all the time..i smell something fishy f l omos

Mayweather sr :"I don't want to see Floyd do that. Floyd doesn't need to fight any guys that big. He's big enough fighting guys at 154lbs because Floyd really isn't more than a 140lb fighter."

Why can't people grasp the concept that you don't have to struggle to make weight to be dehydrated?

I agree is dodgy that he used 750ml but the more I think about the whole masking thing is that he passed all the random testing in the weeks leading up to the fight so what could he have possibly put in his system the day before the fight that would enhance his performance and need masking?

Floyd took an IV for a reason. But NSAC would not investigate on it because its the past already, Floyd brings money to Las Vegas, and it would look bad if indeed there was a violation of Floyd

Of course USADA would refute Hauser. If a company is being attack, then it would defend itself and counter the accusations.

No investigation would happen.

I completely agree! Nothing will happen, and it should happen. But he has too much power, he is lord mayvader, and he beat PAC easily. He is a slick boxer. If his hands were not fragile, he would deliver more power!

Manny looked one dimensional, wrong game plan! I don't know what the right one would be. Besides holding him on the ropes, but bayless would not let that happen, tony weeks would have, but he possed Floyd off!

Prove that claim! Links to medical journals would suffice'

According to USADA, they were informed by Team Floyd in advance about the IV. So how would Floyd knows he would be dehyrdrated before fight night.

According to WADA policies/regulations, which USADA follows, the amount that Floyd took of the the IV, it should have been done in a medical facility. But instead there was a paramedic in his house. If a paramedic was involve, then why didn't he go to the hospital.

There is a video of Floyd drinking water, immediately after the weigh in.

Go ahead and believe that Floyd lied about easily making weight.

they were informed after the medic arrived. i cant believe u guys find it so hard to believe a fighter would be dehydrated

You need to understand that by May 1st,
- Floyd was not doing any strenuous activities. In fact, Floyd was tapering off his workouts for a while already.
- Floyd made weight EASILY.
- Floyd had no blood taken from him for 10 days. Floyd used that as part of his excuse for dehydration.


The above points is why people, including Floyd fans have said over the years, someone like Floyd has an advantage compared to someone who needs to struggle and think about weight issues until the day of the weigh in. Since there was no reason to struggle then Floyd, like other times, should have been able to put the best foods/fluids into his body by then.

Now factor in that Floyd has used several tricks that Lance Armstrong used:
- Delay completion of testing by USADA for 6.5 hours on several occasions.
- Used an IV.
- Vampire facials (possible blood transfusions in Canelo fight)
- Sign fight contract at the last possible moment and therefore delaying testing.


As experts have stated, only 1 to 2% get caught even with the advancements in testing. So the cheaters are still a step ahead and are using something to mask/hide out the current tests. Maybe more costly but Floyd MONEY Mayweather has no problems with money!

they were informed after the medic arrived.

And here is the problem. So many stories have been told that Floyd's supporters cant keep their stories streight.

According to the now "official" USADA story it was the USADA tester that requested the paramedic. This is of course the official story because it is what comes closest to being within WADA rules.

i cant believe u guys find it so hard to believe a fighter would be dehydrated

WADA only allows IV treatment for dehydration for the in the event of severe dehydration which WADA defines as a lenient 7% body-mass loss, the typical medical standard is 10% so WADA is being giving athletes some grace here. For Floyd weighing in at 146 this means he would have had to have lost approximately 11lbs of body-mass making weight. I do not believe that a fighter who weighed in at 150.5 3 weeks earlier was down 11lbs. Its simple math.
