About Floyd Mayweather's controversy

Just two days before the fight between Floyd Mayweather and Andre Berto in Las Vegas, a new controversy hit the American boxer. What happened? The English media outlet SB Nation claimed that "Money" ingested a banned substance before his fight against Manny Pacquiao.

What did he ingest? It's a vitamin solution that Floyd Mayweather used to control dehydration. And this substance appears on the list of banned products by the World Anti-Doping Agency.

Three weeks before the fight against Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather received permission from the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA). However, the USADA is not authorized to grant permissions in anti-doping matters. Only the Nevada Commission, the organization that regulated the fight, had the permission to authorize "Money".

The substances contained in the injection are not prohibited by the USADA, but the intravenous method is. In fact, that's the way Floyd Mayweather received the substance into his body.

According to the English media outlet SB Nation, these injections can act as cover-ups for other banned substances. Apparently, Floyd Mayweather will have to respond to these accusations before his fight.

THE FACT: Floyd Mayweather will face Andre Berto this Saturday in Las Vegas, United States.
