Tell you what, I can't believe I got an infraction over this. I mean, come on, what can a guy say these days..

So @Fred, do you really believe in this Allah guy?

It is.

What made you become vegan?

Nah, I'm going to slaughter a lamb instead.

True. I don't understand why anyone would do either :D.

Fasting is not healthy. I don't care if people do it or not, but for a professional football player it can be very risky. It's not like he's going to die on the pitch, but it does complicate things. As for the so called health benefits.. well.. it's rubbish really. You don't cleanse your body by...

That's not the point. ReBeL said fasting would boost performance. That's why we're talking about performance here. Yes.. I also don't fast because I think it's stupid.

Not quite semi-pro, just some pocket change.

So you agree that fasting does not improve performance?

This was not the point, but honestly, you think it doesn't make sense? Anyway, if a muslim has to ride the Tour de France and if it's Ramadan, he would not finish the Tour. He WOULD end up in hospital.

Lance Armstrong could not finish a single stage of the Tour de France while fasting. So where is this boost in performance?

Which point? Surely fasting is not the only factor in a battle. If they were fasting to begin with. Because how on earth are you going to prove that? Every decent research tells you athletes need to eat. I see great football players playing poorly when they fast. But your argument is that...

The performance of the few who don't drink water does go down dramatically I have to say.
