      He was supposedly 150 to Otriz 165. Now you see why this doesn't add up?

          It's just so interesting. Why do you suppose Floyd would need an IV to rehydrate? It's double interesting that he anticipated severe rehydration problems and aked for a TUE well in advance. Can you make sense of this?

            You would be surprised how many athletes used/are using IVs just after a normal day of training. And not because of severe dehydration but for recovery purposes.

              Are you 10? It is called prudent planning. Dotting your i's and crossing your t's. Every professional athlete uses a IV for re-hydration, everyone!!! This should not have to be explained. The fact that FMJ's team was professional and knew how to fill out a form and request items in advance should be applauded. They made sure their fighter would prepared for all conditions leading up into the fight. Unlike the other side, waiting to the last minute to ask for Toradol. That is shady and embarrassing.

                Where in the article does it state that he "anticipated severe rehydration problems and asked for a TUE well in advance"?

                  He better have done it in advance, TUE is not granted on the spot

                    Yeah but why would he need to rehydrate if he's not dehydrating to begin with? Much less through an IV, with a masking agent?

                      Once again, can you point out where it was requested "well in advance"?

                      All I can see is him applying for and being given a TUE after the weigh in.

                      You might want to work on your conspiracy theory.
