Mayweather's IV injection (Master thread)

By USADA [United States Anti-Doping Agency]

Whether due to a genuine misunderstanding of the facts or an intentional desire to mislead, numerous unfounded and false accusations have been leveled against USADA in recent on-line articles . Since our inception, USADA***8217;s sole mission has been to protect clean sport. As such, it is unfortunate and extremely disappointing to have to address articles riddled with significant inaccuracies and misrepresentations based on unsubstantiated rumors as well as anonymous or self-interested sources that have recklessly called our integrity into question. It is simply absurd to suggest that we would ever compromise our integrity for any sport or athlete.

Although the articles in question contain a multitude of errors, all of which will be addressed at the appropriate time, we believe it is important to immediately correct the record regarding the false suggestion that Floyd Mayweather violated the rules by receiving an IV infusion of saline and vitamins.

As was already publicly reported in May of this year by the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC), Mr. Mayweather applied for and was granted a The****utic Use Exemption (TUE) by USADA for an IV infusion of saline and vitamins that was administered prior to his May 2 fight against Manny Pacquiao. Mr. Mayweather***8217;s use of the IV was not prohibited under the NSAC rules at that time and would not be a violation of the NSAC rules today.

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***8217;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.
Furthermore, once the TUE was granted, the NSAC and Mr. Pacquiao were immediately notified even though the practice is not prohibited under NSAC rules.

Over the past six years USADA has conducted anti-doping programs for over 45 fights in the sport of professional boxing, and each of those programs has been conducted in accordance with the WADA Code and the International Standards.

As a result, every athlete who has participated in one of our programs has voluntarily agreed to abide by the rules of the WADA Code and willingly subjected themselves to substantially more stringent testing protocols than they otherwise would have been subject to.

There are certainly those in the sport of professional boxing who appear committed to preventing an independent and comprehensive anti-doping program from being implemented in the sport, and who wish to advance an agenda that fails to put the interests of clean athletes before their own.

Despite that opposition, we will continue to demonstrate to the clean athletes we serve, the sport partners we work with, and all those who share the ideal of fair competition, that we remain committed to our mission of protecting the rights of clean athletes and the integrity of competition.

I was thinking, if USADA are going to walk inot Floyd's house and he's hooked up to an IV machine or whatever and they're just like "oh hey Floyd er what you doing therebuddy? IV's? that's against the rules but OK carry on"

So what would be the point in USADA even randomly turning up in the first place if he's allowed to do things like that And why would they inform Thomas "I hate USADA" Hauser of this info of all people?

Hauser's article has holes in it.

I saw an opposing article (Mayo) that said that was approved by USADA also and a medical doctor was present or something along those lines

“He cannot have it done at his house and [USADA] can’t authorize it.... I have specifically articulated and memorialized to USADA that [NSAC] is the sole authority that can authorize a the****utic-use exemption for a fighter in the state of Nevada, USADA never told us prior to the IV that they had their own TUE, and they never kept us informed about it being administered."

So why did they OK it when it was presented then?

I told you guys, this is the biggest heist in all of sports not just boxing.

Floyd thought he'll get away earning 200 million dollars in his last fight plus all his millions his got from this charade his been feeding us to stay undefeated.

This crook got caught cheating in the eyes of the boxing public and all he did was laugh at us as he made a shyit load of money. while trying to act as if he's a clean sportsman.

He harps and tells the world he's here to clean up the sport and yet, he carries the biggest scam the world has ever seen. Lance Armstrong's earnings is no where near what Floyd got as a Professional crook. Cheating his way to always having the illusion he is undefeated.

You don't' have to be a rocket scientist to see he owns Vegas, and can pay off everyone to do his bidding. He always seems to have all the advantages when his in vegas. Floyd almost got away with the heist. He thought he was untouchable, but he thought wrong. No one is above any sport.

His last dance with Pac proved fatal. He was too insecure to win cleanly. His mantra was to win at all cost. Well Floyd, now it's biting you in the ass. Goodluck on your legacy. It's going down the toilet. Your empire is crashing down on you as we speak. A fraud is a fraud and will always be a fraud.

Lol if they walked into his house with two random bags hooked up on him you know they would have confiscated the thing

USADA already went on record and contradicted Houser article i'm expecting a retraction in the next few weeks

LMAO USADA says they were notified in advance and yet they clearly say that Mayweather applied for the TUE only AFTER he had the infusion in the same paragraph. What a bunch of fools LOL!

Also, why would they allow the IV infusion when the TUE wasn't even granted yet? That's just ******ed. Additionally, it was infused to Mayweather in his own home WTF! And yet they still allow it eventhough there was no medical emergency whatsoever. According to USADA, here are the reasons why someone can be granted a retroactive TUE:

"An application for a TUE will only be considered for retroactive approval where:

a. Emergency treatment or treatment of an acute medical condition was necessary; or

b. Due to other exceptional circumstances, there was insufficient time or opportunity for the Athlete to submit, or for the TUEC to consider, an application for the TUE prior to Sample collection; or

c. It is agreed, by WADA and by the Anti-Doping Organization to whom the application for a retroactive TUE is or would be made, that fairness requires the grant of a retroactive TUE."

a) Did Mayweather have a medical emergency? NOPE
b) Was there an exceptional circumstance why there was insufficient time to submit or apply for TUE prior to sample collection from Floyd? NOPE

If you read that it clearly stated that he feels that they should be the ones contacted not USADA he even goes on to say that the whole process is confusing to the fighters he is clearly not a big fan of third-party involvement

[Marcov]

They should change it to a no contest but lets see if they find out what he was covering up with the masking agent. The will be the final straw.

[The Problem]

Should floyd-berto be canceled?

floyd could still be juiced up

[sargo]

People comparing salt water with Toradol.

You are the only idiot thinking that.
