DRUGS IN SPORT

DRUGS IN SPORT
With the recent farcical debacle involving the two Greek Olympic sprinters, I pondered on the question of whether drugs ever affects ju-jitsu (or indeed any martial arts activity). Our Association Governing Body certainly has a drugs officer representative and I suppose in theory, competitors should be submitted to random testing, but I doubt anyone ever has done so.Last night before training, I ate a Gurana Boost chocolate snack - this enabled me to train harder, faster and more intensively than normal, in fact, I was flying and everyone duly noted how intensely I trained. Mind you, being only a small furry creature, I am particularly sensitive to small amounts of stimulants such as caffeine and other alkaloids in drinks such as Red Bull, to extent that I act all hyper for about three hours then cannot get to sleep. Who needs illegal drugs!
