Lactic Acid and Cheating? (584 Views)

Just to complicate matters a bit, the following is an excerpt from an article entitled "Lactic acid--the latest performance-enhancing drug" that appeared in the August 20, 2004 issue of Science (a prestigious journal):
"For many athletes, coaches, and sports commentators, muscle fatigue and the accumulation of lactic acid (generated from the anaerobic breakdown of glycogen) are more or less synonymous. However, the importance of lactic acid in muscle fatigue is now under scrutiny. On page 1144 of this issue, Pedersen et al. present a further challenge to the traditional view with their demonstration that lactic acid, in fact, has beneficial effects on the performance of fatigued muscles."
On a related subject, I wonder if it's not a bit of a logical leap to assume that move-up trainers are "cheating." Given that steroids and any number of other things are not illegal (I'm amazed by some of the things I've learned reading this board), it seems to me equally likely that the vets to move-up trainers have come up with some combination of treatments and/or chemicals that enhance performance without clearly violating the letter of the law. People take advantage of gray areas in other pursuits. I'm not sure why treating race horses should be any different.
