Boxing: Mayweather Denies Taking Banned Drug Before Manny Pacquiao Fight

Hours after the United States Anti-Doping Agency released a statement denying Floyd Mayweather Jr. took an illegal IV prior to his May bout with Manny Pacquiao, the pound-for-pound king fired back at the SB Nation report that called his clean performance-enhancing drug record into question.

"As already confirmed by the USADA Statement, I did not commit any violations of the Nevada or USADA drug testing guidelines," Mayweather said in a statement, per Callum Harris of Boxing Mad Magazine. "I follow and have always followed the rules of Nevada and USADA, the gold standard of drug testing."

Mayweather's statement comes a day after a Thomas Hauser-written profile claimed he illegally used an IV a day prior to the Pacquiao bout. According to Hauser's account, USADA agents found evidence after the pre-fight weigh-ins, which would have been a violation of World Anti-Doping Agency guidelines. IVs are banned due to their ability to mask other substances such as PEDs.

True Or False: Floyd Mayweather Took Banned Injection Before Fight With Pacquiao

After all the public and private allegations about Manny Pacquiao's performance-enhancing drug use, it appears it was actually Floyd Mayweather Jr. who may have been doping prior to their May bout.

As highlighted in an expansive profile of boxing's PED issues, Thomas Hauser of SB Nation reported Mayweather received an illegal IV prior to the fight to help with dehydration. The report states United States Anti-Doping Agency agents found evidence of Mayweather using an IV on Friday, May 2, after weigh-ins, though the details behind the findings are still unclear.

What is clear, however, is that Mayweather would be in violation of World Anti-Doping Agency regulations, which do not allow for fighters to receive IV injections. Such injections could be used to mask other banned substances, such as performance-enhancing drugs.
