The sport I played for many years and now coach in it is routine to pee on the field if necessary. Not pleasant, and it doesn't have a lot, but it happens.

Worm charming?
 
One of the nicest things you could do on a cold day in the pastime I used to do a lot of was to wee in your kit. You saved it up to use rather than relieve yourself prior. Lovely feeling as the warm urine spread around your cold body held in by thin layer of neoprene. Of course, that was in a wetsuit. Not to be recommended in a drysuit at all. I did forget once. Very cold feet for 40 mins of decompression!

This was talked about in one of the Eurosport commentaries, I think it was a two day race in the Netherlands, can't remember which one. Anyway, apparently the shout goes up in the peleton and then whoever needs to pulls over and relieves themselves whilst the rest slow down a bit. This happened a couple of times in the race. Seemed to make sense.
