Mayweather's IV injection (Master thread)

[Robbie Barrett]

we're not crying, we're just showing the world how floyd use the IV to pass the drug test in every fight.

Why go to that effort when he could have just not done any advanced testing like Pacquiao and dope all he wanted?

PEDS-Floyd greatest ingredients to success.

A. One of Floyd's Gym Bodies.

B. One of Floyd's roided up body guard

C. Memo

D. Any of the above

All the people that sorounds floyd is in PEDS or PEDS experts.

Trying to figure out why Mayweather didn't get in trouble for an "IV". Hmmm.... Because it's all bll****? Oh yea, there we have it.

Why did Floyd take saline when he doesn't cut ? Why did he lie about being dehydrated

Why did he take the same stuff Armstrong took to hide peds

[BrometheusBob.]

The above spells out that:
1) IV infusions are on the WADA prohibited list, which is what USADA uses.
2) Prior TUE approval is required for IV infusions, which is not what Floyd got.
3) Rehydration is not a legitimate reason for having an IV infusion of fluids. The page lists some other situations which would validate the use of IV fluids.
4) There must be no alternative treatment available. The same page indicates that oral rehydration is the preferred alternative in Floyd's scenario.
5) The treatment has to be administered by medical personnel in a medical setting, which was not the setting in which Floyd was given the IV fluids.
6) The substances inside the IV need not be banned for the method to be considered an anti-doping violation.

There are multiple things that NSAC and USADA are intentionally looking past. USADA couldn't be more clear about it here. But then when you bring up Floyd Mayweather to them then it's suddenly a-OK?

For the record I don't necessarily believe Floyd did any PEDs. But he did break the rules, which were set in order to avoid having athletes dilute their blood to pass drug tests. The manner in which it's being swept aside is discomforting at best.

Bro, the point is that the NSAC/USADA are full of ****. They know what their own rules say, which I have pointed out in a post on the last page. They haven't come out with anything that debunks that.

I don't even care about the result of the May/Pac fight, or even what happens to Mayweather. The fact is that NSAC/USADA will say whatever at any point if it suits their interests, and we have to trust these people to perform testing and sanction fights in the future. The only way **** like this in boxing is going to be exposed is with outside intervention. I'm not gonna say the Congress or the FBI or whatever. But the point is that Bennett and Tygart were never gonna be the people to trust with treating this issue appropriately because they are phuckin in on it.

I edited my post. The point about retroactive or not was far from the bulk of my argument. Most of the argument had to do with the fact that the TUE was approved under circumstances that they explicitly say are unacceptable. The timing is not even the worst part.

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.

People's memories are short.

I'm known as a pro-Floyd poster now for some reason that I can't understand

Oh my this epic thread has arisen! You can't through dirty laundry out the window. It just keeps coming back and still stinks like hell.

Very interesting
