Floyd Mayweather and possible illegal IV thread

[FreedMind]

TR's response: Manny tore his shoulder anyways....and he wont be back and ready to fight into the 1st half of 2016

Floyd uses PEDs

Why is this just coming out now? as much hate Floyd gets from everybody how did this not get leaked right away?. I hate to say it and this opinion is just my personal one but..who is 100% clean nowadays in anything competitive? heck i remember reading a story about a pro video game player that was basically doping.

Is it prohibited for athletes to use IV infusions for rehydration and recovery?

3. Is it prohibited for athletes to use IV infusions for rehydration and recovery?

We have seen an increase in inquires at USADA about the use of Intravenous (IV) Infusions for this purpose, and would like to assist athletes and medical personnel by offering education. In accordance with the WADA Prohibited List (Category M2 Chemical and Physical Manipulation), all IV infusions and/or injections of more than 50mL (~3.4 tablespoons) per 6-hour period are prohibited, except for those legitimately received in the course of hospital admissions, surgical procedures or clinical investigations. IV infusions and/or injections of more than 50mL per 6-hour period are prohibited at all times, both in- and out-of-competition unless the athlete has applied for and been granted a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) under the applicable anti-doping rules. Further, if a prohibited substance that is administered intravenously or via injection, a TUE is necessary for this substance regardless of volume.


Some reports suggest that administration of IV infusions, including dietary supplement and vitamin cocktails, are being provided to athletes for recuperation, recovery or lifestyle reasons. This medical practice is prohibited at all times without prior TUE approval. WADA has justified the inclusion of IV infusions on the Prohibited List given the intent of some athletes to manipulate their plasma volume levels in order to mask the use of a prohibited substance and/or to distort the values in the Athlete Biological Passport. Further, it must be clearly stated that the use of IV fluid replacement following exercise to correct mild rehydration or help speed recovery is not clinically indicated nor substantiated by the medical literature. There is a well-established body of scientific opinion to confirm that oral rehydration is the preferred therapeutic choice. Legitimate medical indications for IV infusions are well documented and are most commonly associated with medical emergencies (emergency TUE), in-patient care, surgery, or clinical investigations for diagnostic purposes.


Athletes should be aware that in specific cases, for example at an Olympic Games, there are specific no-needle policies requiring declarations of all injections/infusions, which aim to protect the health of athletes, encourage best medical practice, and discourage the use of techniques/manipulation that may be considered doping. In these instances, prior approval must be granted for ANY infusion and/or injection of prohibited or non-prohibited substance.


In cases where IV infusions/injections are deemed medically necessary, good medical practice must ensure that: 1) a clear, well-justified diagnosis has been established; 2) no non-prohibited alternative treatment exists; 3) this treatment will not enhance performance other than to return the athlete to a normal state of health; 4) the treatment is administered by qualified medical personnel in an appropriate medical setting; and 5) adequate medical records of the treatment are maintained. Athletes and support personnel administering IV infusions which cannot be medically justified are committing an anti-doping rule violation (ADRV) whether or not the individual substances are prohibited. In such cases, both the athlete and the personnel administering the IV infusion may be sanctioned.

Now, can somebody explain why all this is EXACTLY what TheMedicalTeam did and why it's not cheating, when it's a blatant violation of what USADA has on their own website for this


Remember, Floyd did NOT have prior approval...because only the NSAC can give them a TUE, not USADA or any other drug testing agency.



It's right there in black & white

Thomas Hauser explains USADA/Mayweather article

Michael Woods
September 10, 2015

Two days before Floyd Mayweathers’ supposed last fight, and the news is all about, basically, the long-form report done by fightwriting dean Thomas Hauser, which called into question the integrity of PED-testing agency USADA, and brought up, at the very least, compelling questions about Mayweathers’ history, past and recent, in regards to his own testing regimen and status as a “clean” fighter.

I reached out to Hauser, to fire a couple follow-up questions. Here they are:

Woods: Exhaustive reporting in latest piece. Long read. For those inclined for a Cliff Notes version, what are top three notable takeaways?


Hauser: For me, the three keys points are:

(1) EIGHTEEN DAYS after Pacquiao-Mayweather, USADA granted Mayweather a retroactive therapeutic use exemption for a procedure that’s on the WADA “Prohibited Substances and Methods List”.


(2) The two testosterone-to-epitestosterone-ratio test results that we have for Mayweather (both of which are posted with the article) raise a host of unanswered questions.


(3) USADA has yet to satisfactorily explain its behavior with regard to the Erik Morales clenbuterol fiasco.


Woods: Floyd fans tell me on Twitter they dismiss such allegations as hating and say Hauser has it out for Floyd. Your response?


Hauser: The issue isn’t Thomas Hauser. The issue is USADA’s handling of PED testing in relation to Floyd Mayweather and other fighters. People are entitled to defend USADA and Floyd if they want to. But the fact that they aren’t specifically and intelligently rebutting the points made in the article speaks to the accuracy of the article. I would urge everyone on both sides of the issue to read the entire article carefully. I know it’s long, but the issues raised are important. That reading would contribute to an intelligent constructive dialogue.


Woods: Will we ever get a smoking gun on those supposed positives that Floyd had?


Hauser: That’s up the regulatory and law enforcement authorities with jurisdiction over the matter. It’s also possible that some of the information could surface through discovery in civil litigation.

The desperation

 

[seemorecizzy]

If Floyd is really about cleaning the sport. Why doesn't he do year-round random testing? Right now, he pretty much decides his drug testing schedule.

How does Floyd individually doing testing clean up the sport if he's the only one doing IT

He makes sure whoever fights him isn't cheating

Best he can do in this sport

The comission should of had random mandatory drug implemented like 10 years ago. It's on them

 

[Newzz]

Got real quiet in here after I posted that info from USADA's website


Still waiting for someone defending Floyd to explain why all that I posted above was EXACTLY what TheMedicalTeam did and to explain why it's not cheating, when it's a blatant violation of what USADA has on their own website for this.


Remember, Floyd did NOT have prior approval...because only the NSAC can give them a TUE, not USADA or any other drug testing agency.


It was all laughs and jokes about Toradol....but now, for some reason it's different

Doesn't matter, Vegas cleared him and gave him a exemption so its on them if anything

Tis true....however if Im driving 90 mph and I get pulled over and receive a ticket for speeding, go to court and the Judge throws it out and lets me go, does that mean I never was speeding?

This thread is the funniest thing on this whole site today.

If a tree falls and nobody sees or hears it

Did it fall at all?

The nikka flat out cheated

I know that's some of these posters look at him like he's a god but if it was ANY other boxer they would not have the benefit of the doubt .Imagine if Marquez got caught doing some shyt like this,dudes would kill him for cheating and keep it moving.

Imagine if this was Manny in this situation after a victory over floyd

 

[patscorpio]

mayweather-berto has no buzz...put out a story...now floyd and berto will be looked at through a microscope come fight time..esp at that weigh in tomorrow

They could have released video and photo evidence of Floyd shooting up HGH while blood doping and I still wouldn't have any interest in this fight.
