Do People Actually Accept The Reality That Pac Walked Away From Mayweather...?

WADA rules do not allow intravenous infusions or injections of more than 50 milliliters per six hours "except for those legitimately received in the course of hospital admissions, surgical procedures, or clinical investigations."

According to the report, WADA bans such injections and infusions because they can be used to "dilute or mask the presence of another substance."

 

While Mayweather was given an exemption three weeks after the fight, Pacquiao was denied a request to be injected with the legal painkiller Toradol on fight night to ease pain in his injured rotator cuff, which he had surgery on after the bout. The commission declined Pacquiao's request because it was not made in a timely manner, and he had not previously disclosed the injury.

"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," Bennett is quoted as saying in the report. "I've made it clear to [USADA CEO] 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."

I have a hard time seeing how someone who is fairly objective when it comes to either fighter wouldn't think this smells.

 

If we're doing an Occam's razor on this:

The assumptions needed for the IV to be legit

1. Floyd was badly dehydrated.

2. It was only by chance that i happened right before the they came over to test him.


The assumptions needed for the IV to be masking something

1. Floyd wasn't particularly dehydrated.

2. He knew they were coming over to test him.


I think the second set of assumptions probably are somewhat more likely on balance, but hard to say for sure.

 

Good post

 

Occam’s Razor would state that dehydration would be most likely to be treated at some point after the weigh in.

Occam’s Razor would state that an IV is used for dehydration, which is the primary use in a landslide.

You need to brush up on what Occam’s Razor is.
