General Santos (Philippines) (AFP) - Philippine boxer Manny Pacquiao called for punishment and a rematch on Friday after his fierce rival Floyd Mayweather was accused of violating anti-doping rules in the build-up to their mega-fight in May.
The eight-division world champion, who lost a unanimous decision to Mayweather in Las Vegas, urged Nevada sports officials to "impose the appropriate sanction" on the unbeaten American.
Mayweather and the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) have both insisted the boxer's actions were legal after it emerged he was injected with vitamins and minerals before the fight.
But Pacquiao questioned why USADA only informed the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) about the infusion three weeks after the bout, by which time Mayweather had already received a USADA exemption.
"Are they hiding something? For the sake of fairness and for the good of the sport, NSAC must be consistent," he told reporters at his home in the southern Philippines.
"If needed, the NSAC should impose the appropriate sanction to sustain its credibility and to show the world they did not give preferential treatment to the Mayweather camp," he added.
A report on the SB Nation sports news website said Mayweather had broken World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) regulations by having an IV infusion at his home in Las Vegas on May 1, the day before the fight.
WADA guidelines say IV infusions are prohibited because they can be used to mask performance-enhancing drugs, increase plasma volume levels and distort the values of an athlete's biological passport.
But a USADA source told AFP that because Mayweather obtained a therapeutic use exemption, no offense had been committed under WADA rules.
- 'I want a rematch' -
Pacquiao also said he was treated unfairly because the Nevada body refused to let him use a USADA-approved painkiller for the fight, when he was carrying a shoulder injury.
"That is why I want a rematch. One without any injury and with fair play. No favoritism. Not one where the Mayweather camp gets to dictate all the terms and conditions," he said.
Doping allegations have been at the heart of the fighters' long-running feud, which has not abated since Mayweather won their only meeting for the World Boxing Organization welterweight title.
The richest fight in boxing history took years to become reality, partly because of Mayweather's insistence that Pacquiao comply with a strict drug-testing regime.
Mayweather later accused Pacquiao of using performance-enhancing drugs, prompting a lawsuit which was settled out of court.
After Mayweather's victory on points, he branded Pacquiao a "sore loser" for revealing his injured torn rotator cuff injury, which later needed surgery.
"Truth finally came out and I was vindicated," Pacquiao said in a brief statement earlier.
"(The) Mayweather camp accused me of using PEDs (performance-enhancing drugs). Now look what happened."
Mayweather, who is looking to extend his unblemished 49-0 record against Andre Berto on Saturday, has insisted he is a "clean athlete".
"I follow and have always followed the rules of Nevada and USADA, the gold standard of drug testing," Mayweather said in a statement.
"I am very proud to be a clean athlete and will continue to champion the cause," he added.

Porn star Jesse Jane either had the party of the lifetime earlier this week or got drugged by a stranger. Neither scenario is good because she was laid out unconscious on the Las Vegas strip when a TMZ cameraman caught up with her.
As you can probably guess, Jesse got roasted on social media by a ton of mean spirited people, according to TMZ. A sample of the comments can be read below.
- "Tequila is no bueno, that's what u call white girl wasted."
- "It's hard to hold your liquor when you have no soul."
- "Just leave her on her back, that when she's most comfortable."
Jesse fired back at the trolls by posting a video today explaining that she only had two drinks when she was found passed out. She suspects that she was drugged.
Unfortunately, Jesse has a history of being drunk out in public. In 2010 she was filmed outside of a club lit up like a Christmas tree.

During an appearance earlier this week on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Caitlyn Jenner surprised everyone by saying she is still not sure about gay marriage, although she is transgender.
I’m a traditionalist," Jenner said. "I’m older than most people in the audience. I kind of like tradition, and it’s always been a man and a woman. I’m thinking, ‘I don’t quite get it. I think, like a lot of people on this issue, I have really changed my thinking here to, ‘I don’t ever want to stand in front of anybody’s happiness.’ That’s not my job, okay? If that word – ‘marriage’ – is really, really that important to you, I can go with it."

90059. Five numbers that to the simplified mind might just seem like a zip code. When in reality, it’s more than that. “90059” signifies struggle, survival, family, growth, and most importantly, home to Watts native and TDE’s first signee, Jay Rock.
The gutter’s in his blood, and knows he came from the dirt. Yet he’s still able to step up in the place with not a stain on his shirt. Haters want to talk, trying to work his nerves, but Jay Rock’s paid them no mind, he just hits them where it hurts. If you recognized the excerpts used for the intro of this paragraph, it’s without a doubt that you’ve been actively following the TDE OG and big brother to Kendrick, Soul-O, Q, Isaiah and SZA. No stranger to the game and no stranger to the streets, Jay Rock is ready to give hip hop appreciators what they’ve been anticipating – his new album, “90059.”
Not falling victim to the fabricated opinions of the media, “90059” proves that Rock strays far from any “shadows” and remains confident in himself as an artist, lyricist, and voice for his hometown of Watts, California. Proving that this album goes deeper than sales, blog posts, entertainment etiquette and facades, is the latest installment of the Aplus Filmz mini doc series, “Aplus Docs.” Watch as the crew that’s been riding with TDE since Rock’s “Dollars Make Sense”, walks us through the mind of the 112th Street child as he mentally prepares for his September 11th release. Together we visit the free Christmas Concert at Nickerson Gardens, the Dew Tour, New York and Los Angeles listening sessions, private recording sessions and even a never before seen midnight freestyle with K. Dot.
What’s been constantly deemed ‘a long time coming’, “90059” is undoubtedly a piece of art and realism that should be applauded for not being rushed as it is hands down, one of the most anticipated albums to make it’s way out of the TDE camp this year.
Pre-order Jay Rock's new album titled 90059 now from iTunes https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/90059/id1031704250?ls=1&app=itunes.
Release date: September 11th.

After hearing of Kanye's plans to run for president in 2020, Scarface told VladTV, "Me knowing Kanye like I know Kanye, Kanye will say any motherf***ing thing." The Houston emcee added that "He'll do it," before dropping an explosive bombshell about Kanye originally planning to feature him on "Jesus Walks."
When asked why things didn't work out, Scarface explained that he believes that he got tied up at the time, which is something that Jay Z always teases him about when they see each other. The "On My Block" rapper also told us that he was afraid of his own success at the time after seeing what it did to others around him.
During the conversation Scarface also spoke about having freedom in his hometown of Houston, but being mobbed in other cities, which you can hear more about in the clip below.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Internal affairs detectives are investigating claims by former tennis professional James Blake that he was thrown to the ground and then handcuffed while mistakenly being arrested Wednesday at a hotel, police said.
Blake, who's biracial, told the Daily News he wasn't sure if he was arrested because of his race but said the officer who put him in handcuffs inappropriately used force.
"To me it's as simple as unnecessary police force, no matter what my race is," he told the newspaper. "In my mind there's probably a race factor involved, but no matter what, there's no reason for anybody to do that to anybody."
One officer was placed on modified assignment after investigators reviewed surveillance footage, the New York Police Department said in a statement early Thursday. It said a probe of the incident was ongoing.
A cooperating witness misidentified Blake to detectives investigating fraudulently purchased cellphones as one of two people he recognized as being involved with the scheme, NYPD spokesman Stephen Davis said.
"Once Blake was properly identified and found to have no connection to the investigation, he was released from police custody immediately," Davis said in a statement.
Police Commissioner Bill Bratton, speaking on the NY1 cable television news station, said Blake "has a right to be upset." Bratton vowed to aggressively address Blake's allegations.
"It's very disturbing," Bratton said. "The nature of what he described is not what we do. It's not what we're supposed to do."
Officers arrested a suspect in the cellphone scam at the Grand Hyatt New York hotel in Manhattan during a controlled buy earlier Wednesday, police said. It was after that buy that a deliveryman with the cellphone company pointed out Blake and another man in the hotel lobby as having purchased cellphones the day before, officers said.
The second man, who Bratton said was standing next to Blake, was taken into custody. A hotel security guard, a former member of the NYPD, recognized Blake, prompting the arresting officers to confirm his identity.
Bratton said internal affairs detectives were sent to the hotel and had already identified several witnesses.
Blake's last tournament as a professional was the 2013 U.S. Open, at which he lost in the first round of singles and doubles. He was ranked as high as No. 4 in the world and reached three Grand Slam quarterfinals, including at the U.S. Open in 2005 and 2006.
Blake, 35, was born in Yonkers and went to high school in Connecticut. He attended Harvard University before turning pro in 1999.

Diddy is off the hook in the UCLA incident that led to him allegedly swinging a kettle bell at the school's Strength and Conditioning coach Sal Alosi, back in June.
The business mogul became upset at the treatment of his son, Justin Combs, during a workout session and confronted Alosi afterwards in the locker room.
Diddy, real name Sean Combs, was arrested and charged with felony aggravated assault and making terrorist threats.
After a meeting the UCLA coaches decided they didn't want him to be charged, but he was barred from attending practice.
TMZ reports that Diddy will now have to attend an informal office hearing with the L.A. City Attorney on October 15. His lawyer, Mark Geragos, and others involved in the incident will also be there.
It's likely that he will be either ordered to take anger management classes or be asked to simply not lose his cool again.

Beverly Johnson seems to have found inner peace by forgiving Bill Cosby for allegedly drugging her at his New York brownstone in the mid-80's. She prevented the encounter from going any further by repeatedly calling him a motherfucker.
That made him so angry he reportedly dragged her out of his place and put her in a taxi without uttering a word.
During an appearance on Good Morning America on Wednesday, September 9th, the former supermodel was asked what she would say to the actor/comedian if she saw him today.
"I forgive you," she said before speaking about what she thinks should happen to him. "I'm going to leave that to the Justice Department. I just feel that he's a lightning rod for a much bigger conversation. And that conversation would be the rape culture in America."
