Mayweather's IV injection (Master thread)

[lacson]

Not only was Fraud a cheat.

Did you watch the fight? I have never seen two supposedly elite boxers try their very best not to hit each other. Missing wildly when the guy in front of them is hardly moving.

What a scam. Floyd and Berto knows it.

Money and saline can make anything disappear.

EDIT: Bennett and Tygart were never gonna man up and publicly admit that USADA's rules spell out the need for prior TUE approval for IV fluids, even in emergencies, and that USADA's guidelines cite general medical opinion that oral rehydration is preferred over IV and acknowledge IV rehydration's ability to alter drug test results.

Boxing is one big corrupt circle of bs, it was always gonna require outside intervention to point it out and looks like it still will.

Still looks better than outright running from the testing tbh

Exactly, how can anything be more su****ious than refusing to be tested. That's almost as good as admitting guilt.

Also looks better than lying on an official form then attempting to get an injection hours before the fight

Why do you think Arum downplayed this? He knows how deep the rabbit hole goes and wanted to stay far away from where Hauser was trying to go.

He was probably pumped full of painkillers for every fight since DLH, that's when they said he supposedly got injured. Explains how he was taking punches from bigger guys. Decided to get it "fixed" because it became public knowledge and also made a good excuse.

All great points here on these two posts

The actual facts?

"The report suggested the solution had to be administered in a hospital setting because the amount used; 750 milliliters, or about three-fourths of a typical IV bag ; theoretically could serve as a masking agent. But WADA guidelines specify that the hospital requirement applies only the case if a temporary use exemption (TUE) isn't granted.

Mayweather had a United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) collection official summoned to his home to verify compliance before accepting the infusion, sources told MLive. He was drug tested before and after the IV was administered, with the USADA collector present. The TUE was granted retroactively, as allowed under WADA rules, on May 20, 18 days after the fight.

"Mr. Mayweather has done nothing wrong," Nevada State Athletic Commission chairman Bob Bennett told Showtime before the fight. "The Nevada State Athletic Commission has no interest in any type of investigation regarding his IV. He did not violate the WADA rules for any type of drugs and we have no issue."

Yet, Bennett and commission Chairman Francisco Aguilar sharply disagree, explaining the Nevada commission has not adopted the World Anti-Doping Agency code***8217;s prohibited methods.

LMAO ****** Froid **** rider is ******!

If you actually read the link, you'll realize that somebody made a typo. Hell, any person with half-a-brain would realize that. Here's the sentence that was written before that. Heck, I'd even include the statement before and after that so that your ****** ass can get a better context:

In a statement released Thursday morning, a USADA spokeswoman said, ***8220;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.***8221;

Yet, Bennett and commission Chairman Francisco Aguilar sharply disagree, explaining the Nevada commission has not adopted the World Anti-Doping Agency code***8217;s prohibited methods.


Bennett said unless the IV was administered at a hospital, it needs to be cleared by filing a the****utic-use exemption, or TUE, and supporting documents through the Nevada commission and authorized by the commission***8217;s medical expert.

So why in the world would they sharply disagree if they were agreeing with USADA that the IV use was not prohibited? Am I talking to Forrest Gump here LOL!

Additionally, a simple google research would let you know that NSAC DOES FOLLOW WADAs prohibited list, both prohibited drugs and methods you dumbass!

Here's the for NSAC's TUE:

I. Introduction
"Unarmed combatants licensed by the Nevada Athletic Commission (Commission),
or unarmed combatants applying for such licensure, may apply for the****utic use
exemptions (TUE), i.e., permission to use, for the****utic purposes, substances or
methods contained in the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) List of Prohibited
Substances or Methods, or other substances or methods not approved by the
Commission, where use would otherwise be prohibited.

Additionally, this is also written on that very same link:

IV. Application
In his or her application for a TUE, the unarmed combatant shall list:
a. Any previous and/or current TUE requests, the body to whom that request was
made, the decision of that body, and the decisions of any other body on review or appeal.
b. Any previous test results positive for a prohibited substance or prohibited
method, and the body, if any, to whom those test results were reported.
c. Any previous and/or current use of substances or methods contained in the
WADA List of Prohibited Substances or Methods.
The application shall also include from the unarmed combatant***8217;s medical
practitioner:
a. A diagnosis with sufficient supporting medical information.
b. A comprehensive medical history relevant to the application.
c. Copies of all examinations, clinical notes, laboratory results/reports, and imaging
studies relevant to the application.
d. The substance or method, dose, frequency, route and duration of administration
of the otherwise prohibited substance or prohibited method in question. In case of change,
a new application shall be submitted.
e. A statement attesting to the necessity of the otherwise prohibited substance or
prohibited method in the treatment of the unarmed combatant and describing why an
alternative, permitted medication cannot, or could not, be used in the treatment of this
condition.
Any additional relevant investigations, examinations or imaging studies requested
by the Commission before approval will be undertaken at the expense of the applicant.

So as you can see Forrest, they do in fact follow WADA's prohibited list. Hell, you can even see on the link how stringent and strict they are in their steps and procedures regarding an application for TUE. That's probably the reason USADA didn't inform them at once, because they know they'll get rejected. So bye Forrest
