Report: Floyd Mayweather used WADA-banned IV before Manny Pacquiao fight

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."
SB Nation also reported that USADA did not inform the Nevada commission about the IV until May 21, when it sent correspondence to commission officials and Top Rank, Pacquiao's promoter, notifying them that Mayweather had been given a retroactive therapeutic-use exemption, which was allowed in the contract the fighters signed to cover the drug-testing protocol for the bout. However, when the commission and Top Rank requested more information about it, they learned Mayweather had not applied for the exemption until May 19. It was granted May 20, the report said.
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.

just don't care that ESPN and other places are trying to shove boxing down my throat
it's so plainly obvious this is all just about money...hey he maybe cheated? let's have another fight that would clearly make half a billion dollars

There are over 2.000 tickets still available for his fight with Berto this weekend. This story is just being thrown out there to create buzz so people will buy tickets and order the fight Saturday.

I know. It's frustrating that ESPN doesn't only discuss the sports that I like and want to hear about. I wish there were a source that broke all of their content down by sport so I could consume it however I like. Maybe like a website?

Soooo, no one has any thoughts on the supposed best boxer in history taking banned substances before the largest revenue fight in history? Interesting.
And you guys kill me claiming boxing is dead and not to care, but you clicked the thread and link.

He's fighting this weekend?
Doesn't seem that long since they announced the fight.

1) holy shite that's a lot of fluids from an IV
2) he obviously doesn't weigh anywhere near his "weigh in" weight when he fights

He looked HUGE in the Pacquiao fight. I bet he out weighedhim by at least 20lbs.
