"The truth about sports products"

Tomorrow's Panorama is about the sports products industry and the claims it makes: linkety link.

8 pm. I guess I half-know what most of the conclusions will be but seems worth a watch.

Thanks Muttley. One to watch. I'm a bit of a trainer tart but not really into protein and recovery shakes.

I'll have to record it.  I'm having my gazelle blood injections done that evening.

I'll watch it. But no matter what they say, I'm not giving up my beer and crisps diet!

I'm looking forward to the SiS vs pasty test.

I've already set it to record  

Looks interesting, thanks for the recommendation. I will watch it on iPlayer later.

Such good timing just before the Olympics, probably to be repeated just before VLM2013. If Lucozade get a thrashing and withdraw we may have to buy our own sports drinks and race pace bands in future

set to record, could be interesting especially for me as a newbie

Oooo interesting, thanks for that Muttley

Set to record. I'll be interested to see what it says and what facts it presents.

Boing.

In just under half an hour.

I've got an Iceland super cheapie Doner Kebab pizza in the oven and I plan to consume it during this programme. Am I a bad person?
