In an interview with UFC commentator Brendan Fitzgerald, Novitzky, the UFC senior vice president of athlete health and performance, revealed that athletic commission’s rules regarding IV use differ from USADA’s.

Novitzky disussed the changes in USADA policy regarding IV use a few years back, and how that differs from how an athletic commission might develop its on policy on the matter. “However, when it comes to fight week especially, the rules are two-tier: There’s the UFC/USADA rule and there’s also the commission rules,” he continued. “Without exception, every single commission where we go fight, would require specific permission from that commission and their doctors specifically to allow an IV use … It’s probably likely that the commission will be pulling the fight if you have a diagnosed medical condition that requires an IV.
