And I imagine a lot of nutritionists on teams kind of know what’s going on, but are disincentivized from looking too closely at it unless it could really hurt somebody. Or rather, it could hurt somebody enough for someone to notice immediately or impact their performance in the short term. This is obviously armchair speculation, but I’ve seen it in other industries, time and time again. Everyone kind of knows, but nobody wants to be the squeaky wheel that gets the star player - or major piece of equipment - out of commission.
