Just to put offer some clarity on this, I’m sure there will be times during camp where Floyd had an extremely intense training session, he’d feel somewhat dehydrated after the session. Probably showing signs of dehydration such as dark urine or dizziness, normal things athletes go through, this is normal for any athlete. Even fighters who don’t cut weight, Mayweather, Pacquaio, etc will experience dehydration due to the sheer intensity they train at.
However, as he’s not cutting any weight, 1-2 litres of water + electrolytes is going to have you hydrated as good as instantly. Floyd doesn't cut any weight, he walks around at 150-152 and anyone reasonable knows that and we have data to prove that.
And also, it should be noted that that is during camp when intensity is at 100%. Not fight week, when training is very low in intensity.
Severe dehydration is when you have to drastically reduce water intake (and food) for an extended period of time. Some one like Devin Haney for example, or Canelo Alvarez another example, most fighters really. Alex Perriera in the UFC, Chris Eubank for his last fight.
This is when an IV may need to be administered. No one who doesn’t cut any weight such as Floyd has any logical reason to need an IV in general. That is just a fact.
For Floyd to then be caught with an illegal IV of 750ml, when he doesn’t cut any weight, the day before the fight when there is zero reasoj for him to be dehydrated as he’s not in intense training (or really any training at all) and will have close to zero water reduction? Yeah……quite literally makes not even one grain of sense.
I’m a fan of Floyd obviously, but this is my field, and I call a spade a spade. It only points to one thing. Does it prove PED use? No it doesn’t. But it very very heavily points to it. It’s just that simple.
