"No rider, team, or other self-procured IVs are permitted. Any administration of IVs for emergency medical situations shall be administered by medical personnel not associated with the rider or team. Any administration of IVs on the day of the event other than as provided for by this rule shall be deemed to be a violation of this rule regardless of the existence of an emergency medical situation."
Or something similar. If an IV is needed let an independent health care professional make that determination and do the administering of the IV.

My common sense tells me why Stewart brings a personal nurse to each race, and it's not to administer post-race IV's. But, I don't necessarily look down on Stewart for doing what I assume the majority of his competition is doing. The timing is just unfortunate for him, on the heels of testing positive for a banned substance. The haters have low-hanging fruit to go on attack, and the fanboys have assembled at the front lines to defend with no regard for their perceived intelligence.
The fact is nobody knows for sure, and the way the rule is written leaves the possibility it is acceptable.

I didn't read the whole thread, did anything ever get resolved?!
The HangIVer Bar, in Tampa, Florida, is marketed as a new-age spa offering the latest in therapies.
“The concept is based on wellness, a modern wellness spa that allows people to get treatment for not just hangovers, but for acute illness,” said Dr. Uhuru Smith, an anesthesiologist who opened HangIVer this month.
Hydration therapy has been available in Las Vegas long enough for companies like “Hangover Heaven” to have treated some 20,000 customers on its bus.
In New York City, “The IV Doc” comes to you dispensing its cures during house calls. The company’s CEO and founder, Dr. Adam Nadelson, says most of his customers are seeking rehydration after a hard night of drinking.
“Fifty percent, I’d say, of our patients do come in for hangover relief, from dehydration from the night prior,” Nadelson said.
Patients like Mike Murphy swear by the treatments and say they would “absolutely” recommend them to friends.
Danny Bohrer, who turned to hydration therapy because he was feeling run down, says he felt an energy boost right away. He’s hoping that the treatments will also boost his abilities during basketball games with friends. “I hope so,” Bohrer said. “I need a little bit of help, probably.”
Critics say the IV treatments are just a gimmick.
“I think they’re a little silly,” said Dr. Mark Morocco, a professor of emergency medicine at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center. “I can’t imagine why anyone would pay money to be stuck with a needle for therapy that’s no better than drinking chicken soup and taking Tylenol at home.”
And while the chances of a bad outcome are small, “there is a risk anytime you break the skin,” Morocco said, adding that those risks include infection or irritation of the vein.
Keep in mind I'm a HUGE JS7 fan. This is just very ugly....
I am not at all a Stewart hater but can't understand that reaction. But whatever...
47 pages amassed in the VitalMX thread titled "Just heard" concerning rumors of a failed drug test, before Yoshimura Suzuki and james Stewart's first press release was issued. At that point, the thread had been viewed 108,000 times.
Pit Row
Or does the fact that Ryan Dungey never issued a press release denying that he was the GSR (Gay Suzuki Rider) mean that that rumor was completely true?
FWIW ... I believe James will put all this behind him and will win many more races before he puts his boots away for good. Not sure about titles, but certainly many more individual races.
That's the same type of logic used by the RV naysayers when discussing doping. I doubt Matthes would be willing to carry that train of thought over when discussing that topic.
