This video is an absolutely thorough and devastating takedown of all the accusations that islam cheated. Team Volk should really be ashamed of themselves, the way they behaved was disgraceful and it’s pretty clear now their motivation was saltiness, not a desire for fairness. It’s a 30 min. video but you only need to watch the first 10 mins to realize what a hoax IVgate was.

PS, ignore the “real P4P king” on the thumbnail, that’s just gimmicky YouTube video marketing
 
I mean the most damning claims came from his Islam's own management team who posted that he had been given an exemption before deleting it so if anyone is still pissed about this their ire should be aimed at Ali.
This point is addressed and debunked in the video. Like I said it’s very thorough. I know 99% of the folks commenting on this post won’t even watch, but anybody that watches and has any sense of fairness would really be outraged by Team Volk's behavior.

Did that actually happen? All I remember was Ali posting the rules about IV usage; nothing about exemptions being given. Well, happy to be corrected if I'm wrong in any case.

This. Ali was just trying to win an argument using USADA rules and clumsily tweeted that. But he wasn’t even in Australia, Rizwan (islam’s other manager) was with Islam and he’s much more hands on around camp stuff and fight preparation, so Ali would’ve had limited knowledge of any camp details to begin with.

Actually volks manager and coaches were bringing it up too.
It was Volk, Hooker, Eugene, Joe Lopez, Craig Jones, Eugene’s manager all bringing it up. The only person who didn’t directly bring it up from what I remember was Izzy. But even he brought it up in an indirect way when he said he’d take IVs to prepare for Pereira.

Thanks. Seems like the sort of thing Ali would do, and would hardly be the first time. Don't really have a dog in this fight either way and consider both scenarios entirely possible, but one must have proof if one comes with accusations; can't just go around and smear other people's reputation - it's harmful to MMA as a whole. Hooker and company really should apologize.

Team Volk you mean Hooker as I said the most clumsy if you want to call it that thing was Ali posting. Otherwise it was a storm in a teacup.
