Following a report that came out on Wednesday about Floyd Mayweather using a banned IV before his fight with Manny Pacquiao, it now seems as though the United States Anti-Doping Agency and the Nevada State Athletic Commission were also at odds over a recent UFC fighter.<\/p>\n

So a quick rundown of that Mayweather report<\/a>. Basically is stated that Mayweather used an IV, which is banned under USADA’s guidelines, and was basically caught by USADA the day before the fight.<\/p>\n

Strange thing is, 20 days after the fight USADA informed NSAC about a TUE exemption that they gave Mayweahter. Problem? It was apparently filed after the fight. So, needless to say it looks a little fishy on USADA’s part.<\/p>\n

Now, according to LA Time’s Lance Pugmire, who spoke with the NSAC, USADA also granted Frank Mir a TUE exemption to use adderall for his fight against Andrei Arlovski, a ruling that the NSAC then overturned.<\/p>\n

\n

Told by Nevada commission members that UFC fighter Frank Mir similarly obtained a TUE from USADA last week that Nevada ruled inadmissible.<\/p>\n
