Injury Is beetroot the answer to our injury problems?

[ilikepotatoes]

With our massive injury list, which is thankfully decreasing, are our coaches and staff resorting to desperate measures to stop more players getting injured?
It has been mentioned on this site before that fatigue is a likely cause of these injuries. To combat this is the club using of all things beetroot juice to improve player stamina?
Could this be the reason why our injury list is geeting smaller?

According to a caller to the Rumour File on 3AW's breakfast show this morning, someone recently tried to source beetroot juice overseas and was told the company was experiencing a shortage as it had sent a bulk order to an AFL football club.

btw i do know this might not be true

The study by the Exeter University found that a 500ml glass of beetroot juice could cut down seconds from a cyclist's riding time because of the drink's high nitrate levels.

P.S. I have some primo beetroot that I'm willing to donate for juicing.

The identify of the club using beetroot juice remains a mystery, but if we had to guess surely Fremantle is the obvious choice. At least the stains wouldn't show on their jumpers.

I do know that if you eat enough of the stuff, it turns your pee pink!
I tried it as a student but obviously didn't eat enough as I didn't experience pink urine... good for constipation however

Also red poos, which can be frightening if you forget what you had for dinner.

It may not be the answer to them, but it could very well be the cause of them!
That stuff is horrendous, and I dare say the players (of any side) would go to extraordinary lengths to avoid having to drink it!!!
