This has to be the most asinine article ever written.

And they call this douche a Dr.

…of what?

But with that being said, music IS the best drug.

I was reading a thread at RunnersWorld.com in the rant/rave section…a guy started a thread ranting about iPods in races.

Who gives a fuck? Why does anyone else care what I’m listening to or if I choose to listen to music? I don’t go to races to have a circle jerk.

Yes, music is indeed the best drug.

On a run the other day I lost an earbud, so rather than listen w/ 1 ear I just stopped my iPod completely. About 1 mile later I couldn’t run anymore. I was physically and psychologically unable to run w/o music. I think that’s addiction.

True…well, except Coke. Coke is the best drug, then music…unless you’re a diabetic, then Insulin > Coke > Music. I digress though…I haven’t read the article and I probably won’t. Anyone wanna give me the jist of it?

From the article:

“I first noticed that before his first gold swim on August 10: Phelps removed earphones 2 minutes before the start, and he was the only swimmer who worn earphones at the pool deck. Intriguing scientific evidence testifies: Listening to music improves blood oxygen capacity and is a performance enhancement.”

Taking a shit is a performance enhancing drug, because it makes you lighter.

caine or cola?

what gives Phelps an unfair advantage is that his lungs are a third bigger than the average swimmer’s lungs. or so i’m told.

#7

I didn’t realize that sound should be on the banned substanceslist. Do they have a test for it yet?

HA HA HA HA, that’s hilarious.

Also, I’d have to say that Coke is definitely not the best drug.
