“I’ve known several elite riders who underpinned hours of detailed, committed training a day with a diet that would have embarrassed an eight-year old trapped overnight in a sweet shop.”
Former pro cyclist from Northern Ireland, Michael Hutchinson in his book, Faster.

Not on Dave Brailsford’s watch I suspect.
