the article is good on its own, but the quote below got my attention.

Cell biologist Lan Bo Chen uses a cocktail of quercetin, green tea, and B vitamins to boost the production of mitochondria. With the drink, world-class cyclists shaved 3 percent off of their 30-kilometer ride times.http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/15.03/bemore.html

imo if a sport is so doped that the friggin' us military industrial complex is consulting it for "human enhancement" projects--well, 'nuff said.
