Sex at the Olympic Games is not prohibited

Canadian researchers from McGill University conducted a study, the results of which will appeal to the Olympians gathered in London. Sex the day before the competition does not affect sports performance.

"We conducted laboratory studies, studying" athletic performance "of people, have sex   the day before, - says study author Professor Ian Schreier. - They showed that sex does not affect the physical strength. But in sport it plays an important role the mental attitude of man. And those who say that sex hurts the sport, usually mean that it reduces the level of aggressiveness of man. However, science is in no way confirmed. "

In a study of 14 married men (all former professional athletes) have passed through the test in special sports laboratory on the morning after sex. The same exercises are then carried out for six days, but abstaining from sex. The results showed that neither the muscle strength or endurance not deteriorate lovemaking. The same conclusion was made by researchers from the State University of Colorado.

In this regard, you understand why the organizers of the Olympic village in London has already imported 150 thousand condoms. Mayor Boris Johnson of the British capital eloquently commented on this fact saying: "We are importing condoms to the athletes have inspired generations, not create them."

Meanwhile, since the times of ancient Greece and the first Olympic athletes specifically refrain from having sex   immediately before the day of the competition. Perhaps the ancient Greeks knew something more. Or perhaps sincerely wrong.
