This is a little off topic, but somewhat related to Harold's questions. I am allergic to wheat, among other things. I was buying corn pasta in bulk for a while, but I was always a bit suspicious of the labling: "100% corn pasta..." Every other bulk food was labled with everything in it, no triple dot action. After some time, I started feeling increasingly unwell, and eventually began throwing up after dinner. I stopped eating that pasta, thinking that may have been the culprit. Next time I went back to the store and checked, sure enough, they had relabled it to 100% wheat flour. :-(
Just one little example of how ludicrous it is to expect athletes to know everything that goes into their bodies. I've had issues with other products I eat regularly change their ingredients without changing the packaging, catching me off-guard. Eventually, the packaging does change, probably due to consumer outrage. So, even if someone means well, we can't really assume what they are consuming is correctly or consistently labled. Just finding something good and sticking with it may mean you get stuck with an unlucky change in ingredients come random testing day. One more reason I say drug testing cannot possibly help the sport.
