Report: Mayweather violated antidoping rules before fight with Pacquiao
Powell has run the most sub-10 100m times in the recorded history of track and field and is the first Jamaican to ever hold the world record for the 100m event, with times of 9.77 and 9.74, respectively.
Powell, Simpson settle with company on banned substance JAMAICAN sprinters Asafa Powell and Sherone Simpson have reached an out-of-court settlement with the company that sold them a banned substance which led to their suspension, a media report said Thursday. There were, however, no details of the settlement with Dynamic Life Nutrition LLC, the company that sold them tainted supplement Epiphany D1, reports CMC. Powell and Simpson sued the company earlier this year after discovering that the Epiphany D1 included ingredients that were not listed on the label. “Both Asafa and I are happy that we were able to settle this out of court,” declared Simpson, a World Championship silver medallist, on Wednesday. “The legal process is tedious, but we don’t think about it when we are on the track. We have a very capable team, and both of us are now extra careful about our diets and supplement regimen.” Powell and Simpson took Epiphany D1 as part of their training regimen, but later found out that the supplement contained oxilofrine, a stimulant which the company failed to let consumers know. The two Jamaicans were suspended from the sport for six months after the Court of Arbitration of Sport (CAS) found that they did not know the stimulant was present in Epiphany D1.
“There is no way to really explain the kind of damage a ban has on an athlete’s reputation,” said Powell. “For us it was especially painful, because we really let down our countrymen. There’s no doubt that we’re going to continue to fight to repair it and regain the trust of my fans and fans of the sport.” Sherone Simpson is a threetime Olympian, winning the 4X100m relay gold and silver medals, as well as the 100m silver medal. Powell has run the most sub-10 100m times in the recorded history of track and field and is the first Jamaican to ever hold the world record for the 100m event, with times of 9.77 and 9.74, respectively.

FLOYD Mayweather violated anti-doping rules before the “fight of the century” against Manny Pacquiao in May, according to a report from SB Nation. Thomas Hauser reports that Mayweather received two intravenous injections, adding up to 750 milliliters of fluid, the day before the May 2 fight. The fluids that the boxer’s camp said were in the injections, mixtures of saline solution and vitamins, would not have been inherently illegal, but the quantity, in that time frame, could have masked another substance and would have been in violation of rules set forth by the World Anti-Doping Agency. The World Anti-Doping Agency bans all IVs because they can dilute or mask the

presence of another substance. The report states that on May 2, the day of the fight, Manny Pacquiao applied to the Nevada State Athletic Commission for an injection of legal painkiller Toradol.
DR baseball icon dead at 62 WHEN Pedro Martinez dreamt about playing baseball in America, he dreamt about being Joaquin Andujar. That says something about the legacy Andujar is leaving. Andujar, a former MLB pitcher with the St. Louis Cardinals, Houston Astros and Oakland Athletics, died Tuesday at age 62, according to ESPN Deportes, after a long battle with diabetes. Andujar isn’t the biggest star to come from the Dominican Republic, the Latin American nation that provides MLB teams with plenty of star power nowadays. But in the early ‘80s, the number of Dominicans in MLB was much smaller.

He was turned down and refused the shot because his request had not been made in a “timely” manner. The NSAC was made aware of Mayweather’s injections nearly three weeks after the bout. The USADA claimed that it had granted Mayweather a “Therapeutic Use Exemption” for the use of the injections. Victor Conte, known for his involvement in the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative
(BALCO) case, but who has since become an anti-PED advocate, says the testing procedures are questionable. “USADA’s boxing testing program is propaganda; that’s all,” says Victor Conte. “It has one set of rules for some fighters and a different set of rules for others. That’s not the way real drug testing works. Travis Tygart wants people to think that anyone who questions USADA is against clean sport. But that’s nonsense.”
