    Yes he was caught. He was outright caught. And being able to control vegas and having Al haymon, he covered it up. Unless you can explain to me why he needed a medical team to administer IV? LMAO, you fool.

    Skinner’s statement is incorrect. This writer has obtained a copy of the contract entered into between USADA, Floyd Mayweather, and Manny Pacquiao for drug testing in conjunction with Mayweather-Pacquiao. A copy of the entire contract can be found here.

    Paragraph 30 of the contract states, “If any rule or regulation whatsoever incorporated or referenced herein conflicts in any respect with the terms of this Agreement, this Agreement shall in all such respects control. Such rules and regulations include, but are not limited to: the Code [the World Anti-Doping Code]; the USADA Protocol; the WADA Prohibited List; the ISTUE [WADA International Standard for Therapeutic Use Exemptions]; and the ISTI [WADA International Standard for Testing and Investigations].”

    In other words, USADA was not bound by the drug testing protocols that one might have expected it to follow in conjunction with Mayweather-Pacquiao. And this divergence was significant vis-a-vis its rulings with regard to the IV that was administered to Mayweather on May

    Bob Bennett (who worked for the FBI before assuming his present position as executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission) has this to say: “The TUE for Mayweather’s IV - and the IV was administered at Floyd’s house, not in a medical facility, and wasn’t brought to our attention at the time - was totally unacceptable. I’ve made it clear to Travis Tygart that this should not happen again. We have the sole authority to grant any and all TUEs in the state of Nevada. USADA is a drug-testing agency. USADA should not be granting waivers and exemptions. Not in this state. We are less than pleased that USADA acted the way it did.”

    Earlier this year, in response to a request for documents, the Nevada State Athletic Commission produced two lab reports listing the testosterone-to-epitestosterone ratio on tests that it (not USADA) had overseen on Floyd Mayweather. In one instance, blood and urine samples were taken from Mayweather on Aug. 18, 2011 (prior to his Sept. 17 fight against Victor Ortiz). In the other instance, blood and urine samples were taken from Mayweather on April 3, 2013 (prior to his May 4 fight against Robert Guerrero).

    Mayweather’s testosterone-to-epitestosterone ratio for the April 3, 2013, sample was 0.80. His testosterone-to-epitestosterone ratio for the Aug. 18, 2011, sample was 0.69.

    “That’s a warning flag,” says Don Catlin. “If you’re serious about the testing, it tells you to do the CIR test.”

    The Nevada State Athletic Commission wasn’t as knowledgeable with regard to PED testing several years ago as it is now. Commission personnel might not have understood the possible implications of the 0.69 and 0.80 numbers. But USADA officials were knowledgeable.

    Did USADA perform CIR testing on Mayweather’s urine samples during that time period? What were the results? And if there was no CIR testing, what testosterone-to-epitestosterone ratio did USADA’s tests show? At present, the answers to these questions are not publicly known.

    Note to investigators: CIR tests can be performed retroactively on frozen samples.

    As reported by this writer on MaxBoxing in Dec. 2012, information filtered through the drug-testing community on May 20, 2012 to the effect that Mayweather had tested positive on three occasions for an illegal performance-enhancing drug. More specifically, it was rumored that Mayweather’s “A” sample had tested positive three times and, after each positive test, USADA had given Floyd an inadvertent use waiver. These waivers, if they were in fact given, would have negated the need to test Floyd’s “B” samples. And because the “B” samples were never tested, a loophole in Mayweather’s USADA contract would have allowed testing to continue without the positive “A” sample results being reported to Mayweather’s opponent or the Nevada State Athletic Commission

    Boxing is a very old sport and the major issue is it's the only sport I can think of where the modern day fighter has very little chance to even crack the top 10 all time because of how many times the old time fighters fought. Don't get me wrong, guys like Ray Robinson, Harry Greb and Sam Langford weren't fighting top 10 guys in their division on a fight by fight basis, but they did take on top tier competition quite frequently (3-4 times a year,) while staying active with in between fights against lower tier competition.

    It was very common for the old time greats to fight 20+ times a year. That number is staggering to even comprehend. WW Ray Robinson lost his first fight in his 43rd bout I believe to a full fledged MW in Lamotta in Detroit. He took on a fight two weeks later against a guy named Jackie Wilson at MSG and than just ONE WEEK afterward rematched Lamotta back in Detroit and beat him. Robinson wouldn't lose again for about another 75 or so fights until he lost to Turpin in a fight he would avenge soon after.

    Manny is a great, great fighter but the list is too long of ATG's that achieved staggering levels of success in the sport. Henry Armstrong was the simultaneous champion at FW, LW and WW and almost won the MW title. He was defending all 3 of his titles at the same time. Sammy Langford started at 135 lbs and moved all the way up to the HW division.

    Floyd and Manny are clearly the best of their era- by a wide margin really- but its hard to make a case for either man cracking the top 10 when you look at what a lot of the old time fighters accomplished. Truth be told, if the old timers were making the money that the modern fighters make, they wouldn't have fought so often. Ray Robinson didn't even like to box, he did it for the money and openly admitted it many times. They NEEDED the money to keep themselves afloat and for that reason they fought so often (aside from the few crazy guys that just loved to fight constantly like Harry Greb.)

    I don't think the Babyface assassin knows the history of his own sport too well.
