The key issue isn't just whether the mechanism is physically impossible, but how the system's design creates incentives for manipulation in the first place. Even if "stomach holding" is a myth, the fact that fighters are still trying to game the system—via water loading—shows the test isn't foolproof. The real problem isn't the specific method, but the vulnerability of a single-parameter test. If the system is easy to exploit, it doesn't matter if the exact method is flawed. The verdict says it's "partially true," but maybe the bigger truth is that the system is broken, and that's what fighters are reacting to.
