P4P之王梅威瑟在与帕奎奥的比赛前夕采取静脉注射生理盐水和维生素,这是世界反兴奋剂机构(WADA)明令禁止的。WADA禁止这样的注射和输注,因为它们可能会用于“稀释或掩蔽另一种物质的存在。
有报告称,美国反兴奋剂机构(USADA)给予了梅威瑟豁免权。但是,内华达州运动委员会执行主任罗伯特·班尼特说,USADA无权授予豁免,只有委员会可以看情况给予豁免。
该报道称,梅威瑟为了补液后称重注射的包括有一个250毫升生理盐水,500毫升的盐水和多种维生素的混合物。但WADA规则不允许静脉输液每六个小时内超过50毫升,除非是因为住院,手术,或临床调查。
USADA直到梅威瑟与帕奎奥比赛后,才通知内华达体育委员会的官员和顶级推广梅威瑟被豁免时,这时已经是5月21日。据称是因为USADA与梅威瑟有合同约定,梅威瑟被豁免原因是医疗用途。当委员会和顶级推广公司要求了解更多的相关信息时,才知道梅威瑟直到5月19日才申请,5月20日被授予的豁免。
虽然梅威瑟被赋予豁免是比赛的三个星期后,帕奎奥为了缓解疼痛,赛前一天申请在他受伤的肩袖手术后注射法律止痛药,但被内华达体育委员会拒绝。
内华达州运动委员会执行主任罗伯特·班尼特说;USADA是一个药物检测机构,不是医疗机构,它无权授予梅威瑟豁免权。以后不希望发生这样的事,我们很不高兴USADA的做事方式。
直到周三晚上,梅威瑟并没有对此事发表评论。
LAS VEGAS -- On the eve of his record-breaking megafight with Manny Pacquiao on May 2, pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather took an intravenous injection of saline and vitamins that was banned under World Anti-Doping Agency guidelines, according to a report by SB Nation on Wednesday.
Three weeks after the fight, Mayweather received an exemption from the United States Anti-Doping Agency, the report said. However, Nevada State Athletic Commission executive director Bob Bennett said USADA does not have authorization to grant an exemption. Bennett said only the commission, which was not notified of the exemption until after it was given, can give an athlete an exemption.
Although the substances contained in the IV were not banned by WADA, whose standards USADA says it follows, the fact that they were given intravenously was not allowed.

According to the report, USADA, which had been contracted by Mayweather and Pacquiao to conduct random drug testing for their bout, sent collection agents to Mayweather's house in Las Vegas the night before the fight to conduct an unannounced drug test.
The report was published on the day that Mayweather and Andre Berto held the final news conference for their welterweight championship fight Saturday night at the MGM Grand, which Mayweather has said will be the final bout of his 19-year career.
SB Nation's account said Mayweather's medical team told the collection agents that the IV -- which reportedly included a 250-milliliter mixture of saline and multivitamins and a 500-milliliter mixture of saline and Vitamin C -- was being given to Mayweather for rehydration purposes following the weigh-in.
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.
"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."
When Mayweather and Pacquiao initially began negotiating a fight in late 2009, it fell apart over a disagreement on drug-testing protocol, which became a major hurdle in ** the fight. After Mayweather accused Pacquiao of using performance-enhancing drugs, Pacquiao sued him and Mayweather eventually agreed to an undisclosed seven-figure settlement.
Mayweather was not available for comment Wednesday night.
