What this is

WADA coverage: intravenous infusions and/or injections over 100 mL per 12-hour period. Included because IV hydration clinics are a real health-optimization market behavior; sample tampering with proteases is not treated as a beneficial intervention.

Mechanism

Large-volume IV infusions are marketed for recovery, hangover and hydration, but benefits over oral fluids are usually context-limited while procedural and anti-doping issues remain.

Dose & route

Clinic protocols vary; WADA threshold is over 100 mL per 12 hours outside permitted medical contexts
