Refraining from sex before a big race
Boxers do this before a big match and I was wondering if competing cyclist do the same thing in order to give them an extra edge.
Supposely not just boxers do this, but singers, musicians, dancers, actors, comedians, runners, football (soccer) players.
All that pent up sexual energy must make for a faster more aggressive cyclist, no?

Boxers Refrain from sex.
Racers just say they do because their skinny selves can't get any.

A study of a boxer was performed to determine what happened to testosterone levels while training before a fight as it relates to sex.
A blood sample was taken before he had sex while preparing for the bout. He had sex, then they took another blood test. His testosterone level increased.
Just saying...

Also do not shave before a race. The energy expended by growing hair saps your performance. No sex + no shave = 100% win.

No, in fact there was a study on NFL players i think... those who got it on the night performed better. It was theorized they could think a bit more clearly and were level headed in their plays! In general more focused. Something like that.

Waitaminute...maybe I'm suffering from a perspective thing here, but is this thread really about passing up num nums so one can win a race? Am I reading this correctly?
Fortunately, I haven't a snowballs chance in hell of winning a race, so I may as well flag down the 'ol Trim Wagon when it rolls through my neighborhood
