If an athlete takes exlax before a competition, is this cheating if it gives them an advantage?

Question

Such as in Marathon running, the digestive system needs to be cleaned out. So it is cheating?

Answer 1

I'm not sure how Ex-Lax would give you an advantage in marathon running but most serious athletes will tell you that they have certain 'rituals' they go through before every competition.  Your ritual just happens to be Ex-Lax.

Answer 2

it could be but it also could not be

Answer 3

no it is not cheating. no one is telling the others not to do so as well. if the other runners decide to give you an advantage by not taking the advantage themselves--it is their problem not yours.

i do not think, it is prohibited to use by the marathon events or any running event at all. if they have any, just make sure to look for it.

Answer 4

if your an athlete who takes exlax before a competition you have to be eally stupied to do that sourt of thing because that make u have to use the estoom alot so I don't think that is a good idea
