I don't think this works how you think this works. (Score 1)

I used to be an athlete and I've completed on an international level. I also used to be in the WADA drug testing pool. This entire article reads as sensationalist bull. The fact is, the list of banned substances varies by sport, and the sports that this is applicable to may be very few. While it's cool to be able to bench press more, that's a bad predictor of any other useful gain. Likewise, it doesn't take much for people working out three times a week to see improvement from a small change. It's much different when you have training multiple times per day all week long. Who knows, maybe someone can make magic performance enhancing drugs from spinach, but many of the conclusions of this article seem overblown.
