    Absolute Bull Feces.

    Mayweather was caught red handed on May 1 2015 receiving
    750 ml of saline drip ILLEGALLY in his own home. He applied for a TUE NINETEEN DAYS AFTER!! being caught on May 20.
    Believe it or not both the NSAC & USADA GRANTED !! him the TUE :patsch:patsch Then the NSAC issued a statement saying
    " Mr Mayweather did nothing wrong" ROFLMAO
    Mayweather blatantly cheated & NSAC & USADA let him do it
    Still say Boxing isn't Corrupt ???????:twisted::fire

    You lay down on your back in bed or couch. They hook a tube into one of your veins on your arm and then hook up the IV bags. It slowly drips and releases it into your bloodstream. They say that it can take over 1 hour to do just 1 bag (250ml). Its best to do it while you try and take a nap. Man you wake up in beast mode!

    To be honest I wouldn't turn down an IV. You feel a lot better when they run some fluids and electrolytes into your system.

    When somebody says that they never struggle to make weight and never let themselves get dehydrated why does this person need 3 IV bags?

    I found out that MGM Grand Resorts bought Floyd one of those Bugattis he has because he always fights in the MGM Grand Garden Arena when there are other venues he can go to if he wants. Even Floyd has said that the MGM is his home. So in a way of saying thanks to Floyd the CFO of MGM Resorts cut a check to an Exotic car dealership for one of those Bugattis.

    It's pretty obvious why one would need to use an IV in boxing. To mask some substance or to re-hydrate. It would really be difficult to defend Floyd's use of IV since he obtained the clearance for it three weeks after and not before. If one would give him the benefit of the doubt and say the he is dehydrated then that would only mean that he is too big for that weight division. Everyone knows Floyd is too disciplined to let himself get dehydrated in training.

    We disagree on everything but it's great to see you're holding up. It's all about health.

    Without health, you have nothing.

    So cheers. Very lucky that you're still alive after all that.

    Most humans don't get the best breathing up the mountains (less oxygen than their lungs are conditioned for), unless you are from the actual highlands. Most athletes go to mountains to train for hard Oxygen conditioning

    Breathing pure Oxygen is a hedonistic experience & it can't be good for conditioning if its done over a long period of time. Your body will build up tolerance to the easy access of Oxygen & you will be struggling to do any physical activity without that Oxygen pipe fix

    Masking

    Masking involves the use of a drug or chemical to alter the pH of blood or urine. Armstrong's drug of choice was the blood booster EPO. When injected directly into the vein this anemia drug would be gone without a trace in a matter of hours. Therefore, Armstrong and his teammates would time their usage. In a pinch, a doctor would smuggle Armstrong a saline infusion that would dilute his blood.

    Selective Backdating by USADA :
    Contrary to Armstrong’s repeated claim that he never tested positive, it was widely reported at the time that he tested positive for a corticosteroid during the 1999 Tour. But he was not sanctioned because the team produced a prescription from one of its doctors indicating that Armstrong had received it in a cream used to treat a saddle sore.

    Usada contends in the report that the prescription and its explanation were both shams. In his affidavit to Usada, Tyler Hamilton, the disgraced former Olympic champion and Armstrong teammate, said the positive test prompted “a great deal of swearing from Lance and Johan.” A backdated prescription, a former team employee told Usada, was created to resolve the problem.
