Does boxing allow IV Rehydration after weigh-ins?

[Wreckless]

USADA recently banned IV Rehydrations after cutting weight after weighing-in in MMA/UFC. I was wondering if boxing has allowed this.

Only Mayweather is allowed, no one else in the sport is.

De La Hoya reportedly did it for the Pac fight

Fighters have been doing it for a long time. I doubt if it's as heavily used as in Mma.

PEDs are extremely rampant in Mma, Theres a big misconception that the reason USADA banned them is because they don't want fighters using it for rehydration, but the real reason is because they use it to dilute PED use.

Before UFC signed with USADA, USADA did random testing of a bunch of fighters and something insane like >70% were dirty.

Oscar did this for Pac fight....“Before the fight started. When he gained two pounds [from 145 to 147] between the weigh-in and fight time.” In an earlier point in the interview, Roach said: “I saw the IV in his arm, I saw the IV marks, it was fresh tape, they hydrated him too late, they waited too long to hydrate him. It was nothing illegal… The thing was, they couldn’t get anything into his system… Nobody let him build his body back up. They did it to themselves.”


ref UFC:

The answer is IV rehydration.

For a long time, it has been common practice for fighters to use an intravenous saline solution to recover from the extreme dehydration they suffer when cutting radical amounts of weight.

However, following the UFC’s new partnership with the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), it has been decided the use of IV’s containing more than 50ml of saline will now be banned.
Since the rule change was announced, there has been a backlash with a number of influential fighters and trainers suggesting the ban will be detrimental to the health of fighters.

Having worked as a weight management and performance nutritionist for the likes of Johny Hendricks, Chael Sonnen and Vitor Belfort, legendary trainer Mike Dolce is no stranger to weight cuts and he thinks the IV ban will make fighters susceptible to brain injuries.

Yes, but I think you have to get a TUE from USADA, and they need to urine test you before and after.

Not surprising to see Dolce is against this, Dolce is UFCs in house diuretic dealer, he needs to give his fighters IV's to wash them out of the system so they don't pop dirty.

Not quite right. IV treatments are prohibited by USADA. If you want to have those you have to give USADA a reason to give you an exemption.

IV rehydration is widely used in boxing and MMA.

Before UFC signed with USADA, USADA did random testing of a bunch of fighters and something insane like >70% were dirty.
