When you walk into any hospital....
When people are rehydrating with an IV...
That is... a bag of water hanging from a pole...
The normal amounts are 500-2000ml...
if it weren't the case..it would defeat the purpose of an IV! ****tails exist in the medical world too. 100% standard practice for IV hydration.
W4hen a random person feels tired, not a boxer, and says "I feel dehydrated" and drinks a glass of water it is not the same as a professional athlete who trains hard.Comment

He admitted it AFTER his whole team gave statements against him, he has never been prosecuted over any failed tests ****head, he was a huge advocate for his sport to be clean while behind the scenes he was pumping pecs in left right and centre, sounds like floyds blueprintComment

The evidence presented in the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency's 202-page report on Lance Armstrong's alleged years of doping, scheming, pushing and evading is, according to its authors, "beyond strong." Even so, the case against Armstrong doesn't involve any definitive failed drug tests, a fact that the former seven-time Tour de France winner has long used to shield his claims to innocence.
So if Armstrong is the inveterate doper the USADA claims he is, how did he manage to avoid an unambiguous positive test during more than a decade of pro cycling?
Below is a rundown of the doping practices the USADA accuses Armstrong of using, and an explanation of how, in each case, he might have covered his tracks for so long. [How Did Armstrong Get Busted?]

Erythropoietin (EPO): A synthetic version of this naturally occurring hormone is used by cheating athletes to boost red blood cell counts, a change that temporarily supercharges endurance by increasing muscles' oxygen-carrying capacity. Before 2000, no test existed to distinguish the synthetic version of the hormone from its natural counterpart, so as long as athletes took doses that would keep their hematocrit (a measure of the volume percentage of blood made up of red blood cells) in a plausible range (below 50 percent), they could use this drug with impunity. And the report alleges that Armstrong's pre-2000 team did just that, fueling its 1999 Tour de France win.
But the USADA also claims that Armstrong's abuse of EPO didn't stop after the introduction of a urine test capable of detecting the drug in 2000; it merely took a more covert form. Conspiring doctors, the report alleges, instructed Armstrong and his teammates to inject EPO intravenously (as opposed to subcutaneously, or into an inner layer of skin) and at night, when surprise tests were unlikely. These measures would make it possible for low doses of synthetic EPO to be cleared from a rider's system by the time he woke.
In situations where EPO tests on recently dosed athletes were unavoidable, team doctors also could have injected saline, or salt water, to dilute a rider's blood and quickly drive down hematocrit. This kind of obfuscating saline injection was a common practice for Armstrong and his team, according to the USADA report.---------------------------- you are a ****HEADIn the real world....

Rehydrate better? WADA cites medical practices. Dehydration or rehydration processes in the medical world are not exclusive to boxing, nor would the medical world even advocate a sport that specifically relies on weight limit expectations. citing general hydration purposes in the medical world without proper context is easy work in a court roomComment
