[Robbie Barrett]

Actually its also banned by NSAC

Sections 11-13 and 18 of this regulation provide that the prohibited substances and prohibited methods in this State are the same as the prohibited substances and prohibited methods in the Prohibited List published by the World Anti-Doping Agency.



Man, the NSAC would NOT have given Floyd a BS RETRO TUE .... or should I say, nobody other than Floyd will ever be able to get a BS RETRO TUE!!!


The Commission will not grant:
(a) A the****utic use exemption that applies to a contest or exhibition in which the applicant has already participated.

This has been proven wrong so many times i'm not even going to bother. I've seen that Trevesty guy prove you wrong so many times and you just repeat the same bull****.

You believe what you want to I see even if its wrong. Go check up that link and do a find on what I posted above. Or is that too difficult for you?

Then come back and let me know what you find and read.

Execellent! Good to see the thread promoting healthy arguments regarding the efficacy of IV vs oral rehydration.

How does the****utic recommended mean better you ******?

Why would they the****utically recommend something above another thing, if it's not better? fool.

It's not recommended because it's cheaper, because it's cleaner, etc. No, it's recommended because it's the****utically better. Besides the fact that it's cleaner for the sport.

I feel you need an IV to rehydrate properly then you should not be fighting in the division you are and should move up and make weight healthily. These guys sucking down and looking like zombies to gain an advantage don't deserve to get rehydrated with an IV

They banned them in UFC recently too.

That's why I figured I'd ask - what exactly are they trying to accomplish?

Good post.

If they want to deter people from draining massive amounts of weight? its a very simple fix! we should go back to (Same Day) weigh ins! i actually think that will add to the drama of boxing, and even the playing field! it will actually force allot of boxers to be more professional as well! dehydration alone can cause brain damage, and just damage in general to all organs in your body!

To me that doesn't even seem like the right way to go. I think part of getting a boxing license should include defining a healthy weight range for the boxer getting the license. How you go about that is up for discussion, but there are plenty of options & possible ways to go about it (I'd suggest a urine gravity test & some BMI or BMI-ish type criteria would be a good start) that doesn't make making weight a sport within a sport like 24hr or same day weigh ins allow for.

make the guys weight in as they are entering the ring... give a few pounds for trunks, gloves, etc... but penalize fighter if he is way over...

But then boxers could get hurt a lot more, cause they'll still try to drain themselves, and just rehydrate without a smaller window.

I don't know... In theory, if all boxers were smart and didn't try anything ******/drastic, it'd be great, but in reality, I think it could cause more injuries.

Same Day weigh in's will force fighters, to fight at their natural weights...(Which is healthier lifestyle!)....Usain Bolt does not cut weight before, competing at a Olympic final! (And he is a happy kid)...

Look at the list of boxers who seem to suffer from depression, or borderline eating disorders! I think the reason for these behaviors, is the culture of making weight....(Which is more intense for the fighters in the lower divisions!).

As soon as they can live normal athletic lives? allot of boxers ether become obese, or alcoholics.
