100% pure water sucks the salts and electrolytes out of your body though, so you'd need to dope it again with some minerals

Debunked urban legend. Likely retcon from various mythology involving the chemistry lab's "deionized water" bottle which every chemistry teacher has to make up convincing reasons for the class not to drink from.

It's not a legend, it's just chemistry.

Exercising in hot weather requires drinking electrolyte water to avoid hyponatremia. Drinking large amounts of soft or distilled water (around 6 liters) can lead to death.
