To be fair, its much better to hydrate via IVY after extreme dehydration, for many small reasons (especially if you don't mind needles) I noticed guys who hydrate via IVY look much more better in the midsection vs guys who drink lots of fluids afterwards. The Ivy hydrates better & at minimum makes the midsection look trimmer :think
There is no scientific proof that shows that IV is better than water, other than not wanting to drink lots of water and when you're tired is better to lay down, which is what you have to do when receiving an IV. Go google it or read WADA's code, it's right there. No scientific evidence to suggest other wise. Regardless, IV use for rehydration is NOT A VALID USE under WADA CODE. Not sure why it is not sinking in for you guys. IV use is never allowed before an event because it OBVIOUSLY masks the major testing markers. You know... Hmm, how much did that MAGICAL RETROACTIVE TUE cost $$$ Mayweather?
There's been conducted studies on this, you rehydrate faster when you drink water actually instead of using an IV. IV's are used when patients have trouble consuming water due to vomiting or other issues. Let's not pretend Floyd actually had any issues consuming regular water.
I think it's shady and this may not be relevant but I read it was because he claimed to have some disorder, and I had a flashback to the Mosley 24/7 when the test takers had to wait hours for Floyd to be able to pee after training because he was so dehydrated.
