LIVEDRUNK debunked?

[bar]

The 30 year-old [Nocentini] is having a great early season this year,
having won the Grand Prix Lugano and placing second at the Tour du
Haut Var and Paris-Nice behind Rebellin. Asked what he changed in his
off-season preparation, Nocentini had a surprising answer. "It's the
first time that I stopped drinking wine... I never had much alcohol,
but in the beginning of the year, I decided I should quit drinking
wine altogether. So that's what I did."

This deserves a more serious response than the first one I gave.

It's interesting. But these guys are so close to the line in terms of
weight and everything else that for them, a few pounds is the difference
they're trying to achieve.

A small behavioural change like dumping the, hm, 10,000 calories or so
that he might be drinking if he had a glass of wine with dinner each
night for 3 months would be worth 3 pounds. That's a pretty big deal for
a Euro-pro.

You know, when a 30 year old guy shows marked improvement at the
beginning of a new season, changes in diet are not the first
things that pop into my head.

Is there any reason at all ever to expect a professional
athlete to ever tell the truth? He might, from time to time,
actually say something that is the case, but only to put
the competition off balance. They are never talking to
the public or the reporters, but to the competition; and
will say whatever they expects will do the most damage.
There is word for those that do not follow this plan: losers.

You must be one of those people who doesn't believe in cycling. Lance
warned me about you.

He was drinking three glasses a day. A sad loss for LIVEDRUNK.

And a blow to the economy.
