Olympian Diet

John Ray reports on the training diet of Ryan Bayley, an Olympic gold medal winner in cycling. Bayley's diet of deep fried chicken and Coke so worried his coach, Martin Barras, that he ordered an evaluation by a nutritionist.

"The nutritionist came back, she said 'well you know, there's not much variety in there but essentially he's got all his bases covered'," Barras said. "Once in 2000 I tried to force him to eat a salad and that got him violently sick so now if you leave him to his own devices he takes care of himself," he said."

And, taking care of himself with fried chicken and Coke, he avoids violent salad sickness and wins an Olympic gold medal.

It can be safely assumed that the vegetarian Gestapo would rather that the story of Ryan Bayley not become common knowledge. So, readers, pass it on. And, remember, once you get over the "variety" problem, fried chicken and Coke can lead to a gold medal.
