According to research from Kingston University, red wine can be good for athletes!
Check it out!
'Red wine could give athletes and players a boost in the sports arena by increasing the amount of performance-enhancing hormone testosterone in their bodies, according to researchers from London’s Kingston University.
However not only could it help them to trophy success, it could also allow them to beat anti-doping tests. A team led by Professor Declan Naughton from the University’s School of Life Sciences found that red wine might reduce the amount of testosterone excreted by the body, which could distort the findings of drug tests taken from urine samples.
Although red wine is not a banned substance away from the sports field, Professor Naughton’s team has referred its findings to the World Anti-Doping Agency because of the newly-discovered side effect of potential change to the amount of testosterone in the body.
Professor Naughton emphasised that the research had so far been conducted in test tube experiments and had yet to be trialled on humans. “A full clinical study would be needed to determine the effects on people but, if the same results were found, it would confirm that compounds in red wine can reduce the amount of testosterone in urine and give a boost to testosterone levels,” he explained.'
So it's Merlot for Mo, it's Bordeaux for Bradley and Pinot for Pendleton!
Mine's a large one
I VETO THIS RESEARCH! STOP LOOKING FOR EXCUSES TO HAVE A DRINK AND CONCENTRATE ON YOUR RUNNING!
