Sounds more healthy than the jockeys I knew. Haribo must make a fortune from jockeys! I coudn't do it.

I think it’s appalling when you consider how much research has gone into nutrition, let alone nutrition of elite athletes. In most other sports this would be completely unacceptable. Racing really is stuck in the dark ages

Genuine question - in what way and by what sort of margins do you think their performance would improve, if they ate the same calories but in a different way? Jockeys seem pretty fit to me, and they often put in in really long days.

The article timed out before I could read it all but it sounds an improvement on purging and running in a bin bag to sweat off the weight?

I remember Marcus Armitage writing in his newspaper column over Christmas (with a ride booked for Boxing Day) that if he saw another orange segment he would scream. I really know how he felt!
