After the ride, the food

This was repeated on BBC this week; team of rugby players made to do squat jumps to failure then half given lucozade and half milk as recovery drink.

Its nice to see the BBC talking about milk in a positive light. But in terms of "science" this and other exercise/nutrition stuff they often spout is often meaningless sensationalist nonsense.

there is no detail, they just want something that "surprises" people for entertainment value.

Recently they published an article claiming that protein was bad for you just because of one 22 year old who they looked at who had 7 protein shakes a day plus a myriad of bodybuilding stimulant supplements.
