I like that idea. The English cricket team could get a 150 run head start against the Aussies. It would be a lot more entertaining, and England might win the odd game.

DiscussOne "respected cycling professional" believes that 90% of the peloton is still doping, another put it at 20%
Riders are micro-dosing, taking small but regular amounts of a banned substance, to fool the latest detection methods
The abuse of Therapeutic Use Exemptions, sick notes, is commonplace, with one rider saying 90% of these are used to boost performance
The use of weight-loss drugs, experimental medicine and powerful painkillers is widespread, leading to eating disorders, depression and even crashes
With doping done now on a more conservative basis, other forms of cheating are on the rise, particularly related to bikes and equipment
Doping in amateur cycling is endemic
Can we think of any well known GB cyclists that seemed unusually prone to crashing?
The painkillers is an inretesting one, how many have taken ibuprofen.
Anyway, still commonplace in the peleton would be my guess. As it may well be among many, many sports.
I use ibuprofen and also Beetroot juice. I have been known to take Marmite before and caffeine gels while running.
WHAT HAVE I DONE?????
I think you're ok with normal foodstuffs
But id keep quiet about the Marmite. I guess you need an Marmerta in your running circle.
Now this I would be happy to watch...

Meh
According to the experts, the database reveals:
A third of medals (146, including 55 golds) in endurance events at the Olympics and World Championships between 2001 and 2012 were won by athletes who have recorded suspicious tests. It is claimed none of these athletes have been stripped of their medals.
More than 800 athletes - one in seven of those named in the files - have recorded blood tests described by one of the experts as "highly suggestive of doping or at the very least abnormal".
A top UK athlete is among seven Britons with suspicious blood scores.
British athletes - including Olympic champion heptathlete Jessica Ennis-Hill - have lost out in major events to competitors who were under suspicion.
Ten medals at London 2012 were won by athletes who have dubious test results.
In some finals, every athlete in the three medal positions had recorded a suspicious blood test.
Russia emerges as "the blood testing epicentre of the world" with more than 80% of the country's medals won by suspicious athletes, while Kenya had 18 medals won by suspicious athletes.
Stars such as Britain's Mo Farah and Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt recorded no abnormal results.
Athletes are increasingly using blood transfusions and EPO micro-doses to boost the red cell count.
