i suppose i should add i'm an analytical chemist so i understand testing and baselines etc but a lot of that article is bull imho you can orally re-hydrate and iv re-hydrate at the same time

But what the article/USADA fails to mention is that that Contador was banned for the clenbuterol not the plasticizer as they couldn't establish a baseline. So unless they've since agreed on one, I'm not convinced. That's the way I see it. It doesn't matter if oral fluids are just as good - maybe they are?. But using both is likely best by far. Plus, you can't drink in your sleep. That has to be huge IV benefit

And keeping in going while you sleep has to be a bonus. They can still do it with a 50ml IV, but that smal might not be worth it. Mayweather used an IV post weigh-in (illegally) for the Pacquiao fight. USADA was aware of this at the time. He wasn't punished. And he was granted a TUE for its use, it wasn't granted until 3 weeks after the fight. USADA/WADA don't really care about rehydrating. Same say weigh-in is a terrible idea, it will lead to way more issues imo. The best option imo is a weight gain limit as they use in boxing sometimes, or like they use in judo. They imposed it on Rumble once, why not make it the rule.

He specializes in things like bodyweight exercises and mobility/agility/balance. Conor seems to be fairly influenced by him and uses his lizard entrance thing when entering the ring: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6BBk3Nvj9k
