Things we learn as Athletes....Try Coke! Coke as a sports drink? It does seem strange, but increasing numbers of athletes are using Coke to fuel their exercise - and are reporting that it works. Researchers at the Australian Institute of Sport surveyed 11 of the 19 mens cycling teams participating in the U. S. Professional Championships and found that in six of those 11 teams, every single athlete ingested Coke during races. In four other teams, roughly two-thirds of the riders imbibed Coke; only one team was Coke-free. Usually, Coke was consumed during the last half of the competitions, which lasted for two to six hours, and generally the popular fluid was drunk in the de-fizzed state (with carbonation removed).
