I researched it; it's not common obviously but it's not really unusual as a practice, either, in terms of usage. His doctor recommended it, and he has to go through a long detoxification process first, to avoid excessive uric acid and whatnot. I suppose un-synthesized proteins and stuff you expel through your urine probably have some nutritional benefit. I'm not sure why he doesn't just take supplements then...but I'm not a doctor nor a 38 year old dominating the lightweight division with ATG technique so I'll let it be.
how long has marquez been doing this ? .....i wonder why it hasnt affected his body badly if its been years. Is there other boxers who do this ?
Marquez is great. Bottom line. But the body wouldn't get rid of the urine for nothing. It's getting rid of **** it doesn't need. Marquez is ill-informed (and likely too superstitious to change his ways at this stage).

The Aztecs used it to prevent wounds becoming infected. * The practice is particularly popular in China, where millions of people drink a daily dose of their own urine. * In Cameroon, people were banned from drinking their own urine in 2003 amid health concerns. They were warned that transgressors would be prosecuted. * Some fans believe the Bible recommends urine therapy. A verse in Proverbs advises: "Drink waters from thy own cistern, flowing water from thy own well." :conf
