EPO works so much better

Where do you get yours

Who would think up an experiment like that!

Did some sports scientist take a mouthful of gel, dislike the taste and spit it out and then break his PB or something?

Hmm, today we will test if watching the Jeremy Kyle show before a race improves performance. The placebo group will stare at a blank TV screen for the same length of time.

You never know, it might work!

Why spit it out, why not hold it in your mouth and then swallow?

Swallow...don't spit

Although today it has been pooh-poohed by dentists as it rots the teeth - swilling a drink round your mouth rather than swallowing it increases the time sugar is in contact with tooth enamel, hence decaying it faster. So a yellow jersey and bad teeth, or good teeth and the title most smiley domestique of the year?

It's not saying that swilling is better than swallowing, it's saying that it's better than doing nothing (or swilling water anyway), due to the psychological effect. If you swallow it, you'll have the psychological effect AND the extra energy in your body.

Now I see why this experiment is so pointless
