Have I been dodging? I asked you whether you believe it says you can only use another method if you can't physically drink water. Is that your belief?
WADA has stated that there are situations where IV rehydration is more effective than oral rehydration. These situations are not medical emergencies that cause someone to not be able to physically drink, as you would like to make us believe. It's up to the examining physician to find out if this is the case.
So just because a person can drink, it does not mean that it is the most effective way to rehydrate, and a physician is allowed to make the case for an athlete rehydrating intravenously. Do you understand?
