If Swimmers Have Brighter Teeth are they Doping?

This article from the Daily Mail cites claims that ordinary baking soda can boost swimming performance. The article references performance boosts of 1.5 seconds on 200 meter swims.

I'm not suggesting baking-soda doping is a good idea, but I just might start brushing my teeth with the stuff. It whitens teeth, you know.

    Hi SplashDog,

    My name is Reid, and I’m the Community Manager at MISSION Product (http://www.missionproduct.com), a newly created athlete-engineered skincare company. I wanted to reach out to you because we think the Swimming is Easy Here's How is an important and influential site for swimmers. We don’t want to sell you anything, but rather offer you our new product bundle for FREE - a $70 value that includes our Revive Gel, Foot Synergy Gel, Anti-Friction Cream, Lip Balm, and Sunblock. In return, we only ask that you let us know what you think of the products.

    MISSION Product was founded when ultra-endurance athlete Charlie Engle ran across the Sahara in 111 consecutive days and came to an epiphany: there wasn’t a line of skincare for athletes. He partnered up with MISSION Product to create high performance skincare tailored to endure the rigorous training athletes put their bodies through. It’s developed and tested by some of the world’s greatest athletes like Sarah Haskins, Hunter Kemper, Carmelo Anthony and Amanda Beard.

    Please let me know if you’d be interested in our product as we think you would be a great addition to our MISSION Labs.

    Best,

    Reid
