IV rehydration ban - how do you feel about it, and how do they enforce it?

[TheCell8]

IV bans make sense in MMA because the weight classes are 15 lbs apart. But in boxing they're like 5-6 pounds apart. What's the ****ing point?

It says it's preferred not that it works better.

Te****utically recommended you fool. They say oral IS better.

No, there are instances where one needed an I.V but if this has anything to do with Floyd, Floyd did it 14 times over the legal limit (750ML to the 50 ML).

That's not true

You KNOW it's not true

Yet

You keep right on typing it.

It says it's preferred not that it works better.

Here's the full quote from the original WADA paper.

There is a well-established body of scientific opinion to confirm that oral rehydration is the preferred the****utic choice, deemed by some authorities as being even more effective than the parenteral option.

I think it's BS. All the trouble started when they changed from same day weigh ins about 8 hours before the fight to weighing in about 32 hours before the fight. With the same day weigh in a boxer could only gain a few pounds. When they have a day and a half to gain weight they can pack on 15 pounds or more and often do. Just return to same day weigh ins and the problem is solved. They should never have changed from same day weigh ins o begin with. Why try fix to something that works just fine?

Some authorities say it's better, so what do the others say? It's not a fact that it's better.
