Convinced about blackcurrants yet?

Convinced about the science?

Convinced about Beetroot juice yet?

Hang around in the post-race doping testing tents and check out the colour of all the urine samples. (Or just take my word for it…that could get a little weird).

Convinced about Caffeine yet?

Sigh.

Actually if all this natural stuff makes us faster I think I’m going to take up a summer job eating fruit on a farm…ahem, sorry, I mean PICKING fruit on a farm for minimum wage. Once I’ve finished that I’ll sneak off to a neighbouring field to follow the tractors turning up all the root veg.

It might all even be vaguely healthy. Shock. Horror. They’ll be saying water stops dehydration next…nah. #isotonic
