Ok, I just saw it in another thread, sorry i been out of the loop for a few days, here's my response:
they found in the substances he was injected with corroborated with masking or attempting to mask. Well at least not what they described, vitamin C and hydrating agents dont do that. It would be interesting to see if they left anything else out
To put it more succinctly, USADA tested Floyd after the weigh in. As part of that, they found he used an IV that didn't have any banned substances. So Floyd applied for the exemption and got it because he didn't have any banned substances in the IVs. Overall, Floyd was tested over 12 times and they came back clean. The bigger issue seems to be an attack on USADA and probably whining about Pac not getting the Toradol shot. That's funny when it was NSAC that denied the shot, not USADA. Also, the author was one of the main dudes who spread the "Mayweather failed tests...." rumor a few years back.
The comparison to Pac's toradol request is ridiculous. First, Pac and team lied on the NSAC form about the "injury" then they asked for the shot at the 11th hour to treat an injury they lied about . Get outta here with that.
I love how Dan Rafael's fat ass, who is regarded as a respected journalist, stayed up late to retweet this shit but when Manny Pacquiao had legit PED accusations being thrown his way, supported by facts, you don't see anything. From what I hear, Rafael and Roach share agents or some shit, so that might make sense (I do recall them having that boxing telecast show on Epix).
Where was the article when Roach said "we thought Marquez was juicing but we let it slide because we weren't willing to test ourselves."
Where was the article when Manny claimed to be scared of needles despite owning a tattoo parlor attached to his gym?
Where was the article about Manny's insistence of using Toradol and not Cortizone?
Where was the article about Manny being healed by Magical water?
Where was the article about Manny's drug test stipulations?
Where was the article about Manny being drained by drug testing vs Morales?
Where's responsible, non-biased journalism?
We already know lol the media has its fix in. They want to destroy Mayweather any way they can, and protect and build up a fighter that's a 'yes man' to their agenda. They put Pacquiao on the same pedestal, they're passing the torch to GGG (ignoring people like Ward), and look how quick they built up Ronda Rousey.
This is just like when Floyd won the fight against Pac. What did the media do? Crap all over Floyd and tried to taint his well earned victory (e.g. boring, running, Manny's injury, etc.). Now here we are at Floyd's last fight and they're at it again. They're trying to cast a shadow over it with this garbage that, if you're being fair, you know it's not a remotely material matter despite all the "technical rules" noise.
It appears that Nevada Commission Director Bob Bennett sides with the Tom Hauser Article. Here is Anthony's video. It's long, but it talks about Floyd's situation, that the USADA needs to get out of the sport, Manny's shoulder injury and more. Anthony also questions that if Floyd needed the IV, fighters don't re-hydrate in this way. Lots of dirty laundry being talked about here. Floyd claims he did nothing wrong because the USADA said that what they did was not a Nevada rule's violation. Nevada says no, that the USADA has no authority to over-step the bounds of the state commissions. Anthony, a former boxer himself ,says that in his research, the USADA only has the authority to administer the testing and report the results. They cannot over-ride a commission by approving something that the commission had no knowledge of receiving until after the fight:

the fight already went down 4 months ago, and people still can't let the rivalry go.
USADA did screw up. I think the issue was dealing with the pressure of this fight, the magnitude behind it. There were lots of officials in turmoil, trying to make the fight an actuality, all the way to its point. People have to remember this. It is stated that you're not allowed to use more than 50ml in the span of 6 hours, but because of the possible pressure of the fight, Mayweather was granted an Exemption and allowed to use 750ml in less than 6 hours before the fight. People can speculate that as much was used to possibly clear out PED usage because being dehydrated would seem unlikely, based on his claims of his weight, which could also mean he has lied about his weight in fights, particularly this fight since there is no official weight listed for him. Even so, those are only left with speculations because the IV injections only consisted of fluid containing Vitamins and Saline. Both NSAC and Pacquiao were both notified of this. The records were published May 31st. Thomas Hauser brought this up September 9th in order to obviously fuel speculation and to possibly discredit Mayweather. But, since USADA/WADA not only allowed it, but also notified NSAC and Pacquiao of it, it's not Mayweather's own personal doing, but him abiding by what was granted to him.
