Experts assert the need to amplify "food first" and "no needle" messages among all athletes

Intravenous (IV) nutrition, which used to be considered a treatment of 'last resort', is threatening to become the norm for competitive athletes, despite no scientific evidence that it works or that it is safe, warn experts in an editorial, published online in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.
