What’s with these pro guys getting food poisoning all the time? Have y’all ever had it? Seems like some of these guys get it once a year.
Hymas said he got food poisoning a week ago and still dealing with the side effects. I didn’t think it stuck around that long? I had some bad chicken from Subway once but that basically just ruined my night after it came back up and I was back to normal the next day.
Or it’s an excuse (cue the downvotes)
With all the shocks blown out I hv stuff flying all ovr the cab. I spend a hr & a 1/2 picking up stuff every night. Sometimes I,ll find a week old sandwich or cheeseburger. I still eat it & never got sick .
I always thought “food poisoning” was a cover for whatever PED side effects these guys take.
Seeing how a lot of these guys have a nutritionist, I find it extremely unlikely that they would eat any contaminated food. I really like to give rider's the benefit of the doubt because they are awesome athletes, but it sure sounds like an excuse. I remember Max Vohland saying he ate some bad soup from Olive Garden one time, LOL C'mon dude. Now, I could definitely see rider's contacting a stomach virus traveling during the supercross season when it's cold. But food poisoning? Nah, not buying it. Just say you were nervous, or burned out during the week, or tired, whatever...

In the past there was a lot of craziness if someone was thought to be contagious, it reduces any potential public relations risk by saying food poisoning.
Also could just be food poisoning. There is a lot of shitty food out there.
I think pro motocrossers are more susceptible gut problems becuase they train so hard and travel every week.
The new Epstein Barr.
i hv ate hr & a 1/2 old food b4, but nvr week old. i,ll starv b4 i do that.
Had food poisoning in 2017 and had issues for months following. Multiple tests and doctor visits all for it to have been a very bad case of food poisoning. Before that happened, I was under the impression that it didn't last more than a day or two.
It's the catch all "electrical problems" for riders.
These athletes are on the edge with their diets and us normal folk will not cope with these guys menus.
Hymas got sick from something in his diet and spent a couple of day with diarrhea and pucking. That's how the body purges the sickness.
To recover after that a top athlete needs more than two days to replenish his body. Hymas tried and we all saw the outcome last Saturday.
I'm still amazed that his team even allowed him to line up for Moto1 at Hangtown.. That bust him even further back and it may even carry through to Colorado.
I hope I'm wrong.
As a person with a weak immune system and having to be mindful of germs it does not surprise me how these guys are always sick. Just watch these guys in something like a post race conference constantly touching their face, coughing, sharing food and knowing they are like that everywhere like airports, autograph lines. If I rolled through life like that I would have the stomach flu every few months. You can tell the guys that have to be more mindful of what they are doing when they are always wearing gloves. I think Stewart said he stopped doing family Christmas when he was racing. I used to work with a guy that would buy something like a foot long sub, eat half then wrap the rest up and leave it on a job to eat the next day.
That’s just methed up.
These guys are human. Don’t think they are above grabbing some chipotle here and there. They are also running down their bodies day after day in all sorts of filthy environments.
Go browse through this thread.
No Eli Talk - just fitness and why your're wrong
Or it could be that they are genuinely sick, for whatever reason, and don't want that sickness to be perceived as having compromised health. "Food poisoning" is an easy scapegoat.
Right on cue. Uptite(s) never disappoints
These guys are in airports 40 weekends out of the year too.
Pit Row
Specifically what PED would cause food poisoning like symptoms?
An FB friend posted he saw the Lawrence brothers and Johnny O' at a Mexican restaurant after the Hangtown race So, there's that.
caffeine overdose could do that, other stimulants as well
Remember the training thread ? They only train 20 some hrs a week. They fly no fatigue involved in that . I used to fly ever 10 days for work. Travel truckers work 20-40+ hr days for months straight without a day off. Hand unloading 45,000 lbs in a 250 degree trailer for 10 hrs. I live on turkey & cheese flying j or pilot sandwiches 7 days a week for months straight. . Even walk 3/4 of a mile across in tall weeds to get them. I fell in a 2 1/2 ft deep hole in the dark coming back. My ankle throbbed for 6 weeks. You do get diarrhea when your young 19- into 20,s pretty easy though. Hospital called they said my insurance denied the injection. What bs they did this b4 at the last minute.
No, food poisioning is a cover up for an Electrical fault.
ODing on caffeine takes a ton, more than you could drink and more than anyone who has half a brain would attempt to consume.
If that was true then most other pro athletes would be dealing with the same issues
Never.
Basketball and football players getting sick happens all the time.
If you know Max, you would know… that boy LOVES Olive Garden. Especially the Alfredo
I'm definitely a Max fan. I am not bagging on him whatsoever. The dude absolutely kills it and it's mental how he rides with that crazy clutch/brake contraption. It was just hilarious how he said it in the interview. It was from a couple years ago.
When the Dallas supercross was held at Texas Stadium the Olive Garden across the highway was the place to see all of the factory riders on Friday night. lol
