just came across this
Quote:
In early March, USADA presented the Pacquiao camp with a contract that allowed the testing agency to grant a retroactive therapeutic use exemption (TUE) to either fighter in the event that the fighter tested positive for a prohibited drug. That retroactive exemption could have been granted without notifying the Nevada State Athletic Commission or the opposing fighter***8217;s camp.
A TUE in the event of a positive test. The fuk. Naturally it was strongly denied by Team Pacquiao.
Here's the revamped conditions of the contract that Arum talked about having to agree to otherwise the fight couldn't happen.
Quote:
With regard to notice, a copy of the final USADA-Mayweather-Pacquiao contract provides: ***8220;Mayweather and Pacquiao agree that USADA shall notify both athletes within 24 hours of any of the following occurrences: (1) the approval by USADA of a TUE application submitted by either athlete; and/or (2) the existence of and/or any modification to an existing approved TUE. Notification pursuant to this paragraph shall consist of and be limited to: (a) the date of the application; (b) the prohibited substance(s) or method(s) for which the TUE is sought; and (c) the manner of use for the prohibited substance(s) or method(s) for which the TUE is sought.***8221;
Notice how Team Pacquiao has to be notified of the TUE within 24 hours. The TUE only came 18 days after the fight. And this is very interesting because it seems Floyd knew he was going to be dehydrated ahead of time, amazing foresight.
Both of the presented types of the forms were made to tiptoe some scandalous sht passed team Pacquiao.
When Hauser exposed this information back sometime in May of this year, USADA responded:
Quote:
The Information in Mr Hauser's article concerning the final contract for USADA to run the anti-doping program for the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight is inaccurate.
The final contract signed by both fighters was that any TUE that was granted would be sent to the opposing fighter within 24-hours and that the granting of TUEs would be determined by USADA in its sole discretion in accordance with the WADA international standards for TUEs, which include retroactive TUEs. Any approved TUE will also be sent to the Nevada State Athletic Commission. TUE processing is a normal part of all international anti-doping programs.

And from their response to Hauser just yesterday(or was it the day before?), they are caught in a lie(bolded).
