The next banned substance:

Also today on my day off I read an interesting article from Monday's Journal Sentinel about the effects of baking soda on athletes. Apparently ingesting baking soda can increase one's running speed with minimal side effects (including diarrhea and stomach pains). I can see Barry Bonds trying to make a comeback now and have Jose Canseco create lines of baking soda for him on the clubhouse toilet seats. I'm not a scientist but I am not sure how this would work scientifically. Baking soda is very acidic and creates the volcanoes for uncreative 4th graders entering a science fair.
