Posted: Fri Aug 22, 2008 2:02 pm Post subject: Banned Substances
OFFICIAL STATEMENT:
In a joint statement issued by World Anti-Doping Agency president and Jacques Rogge, president
of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the following foods have been placed on the list of
banned substances issued by WADA: yam, green bananas, cocoa, dasheen, breadfruit, ackee
and saltfish, mackeral run down, turned cornmeal, Malta, Supligen and coconut oil. Jamaicans
seem to become extremely athletic on diets with these foods. Coming out of WADA labs, one of
the major banned substances from Jamaica is the Cassava root, a high fibre, high starch tuber
root eaten in Jamaica. It has properties which are said to enhance endurance and cause muscle
fibres to twitch faster. This comes after extensive study of the diets of the Jamaican athletes
which took part in the Beijing 2008 Olympic games. Though natural foods it is felt by WADA that
these foods because of their unique properties give Jamaican athletes an unfair advantage. High
concentrations of carbohydrates and other naturally occurring substances are said to be
mimicking the effects of Performance Enhancing Drugs (PEDs). Some foods have been noted to
in particular cause an unusual increase in the male hormone testosterone. As such WADA has
seen it fit to add these foods to the list of banned substances. Given the sensitivity of this issue,
Jamaican athletes participating in the current Olympic games underway in Beijing have not been
banned but must submit to these new restrictions within the next two years.

It's a wonder the Jamaican athletes can even move after consuming a small island in the Mediterranean Sea!
"Coconut Oil" I have plenty of sun-tan lotion spare - Should I try that? _________________ Cocktails may not be the answer.... but they help you forget the question Vodka... Cheaper than B otox and paralyses more muscles!
Check out the article - nice pic from the cover of Sports Illustrated!

His breakfast: a large bowl of porridge; three doorstep-sized sandwiches of white bread, butter, fried egg, fried onion, lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise; a five-egg omelette tastefully garnished with parsley; three slices of French toast liberally sprinkled with sugar; three pancakes topped with chocolate chips; and two large cups of coffee.
Next to it is lunch, which consists of 1lb (that's a very large bowl) of pasta with tomato sauce; two large ham-and-cheese sandwiches with more lettuce, tomato and don't forget the mayo; plus four bottles of a proprietary high-energy sports drink.
For dinner, it's another pound of pasta, a large cheese-and-tomato pizza, and another four bottles of the same proprietary high-energy sports drink.
The average adult man, depending on age, height and weight, requires between 2,200 and 2,800 calories a day. According to most media estimates, Phelps's daily intake - the three meals described above - amounts to around 12,000 calories.
Mind you, did you see what Phelps eats every day?? I'm amazed he doesn't sink.
Wasn't it 10,000 calories a day?
I don't think I eat more than about 1,200 in a day
I'd be interested to know exactly what his diet consists of,
