Ketone Esters in the Tour de France: A Metabolic Advantage ft. Professor Kieran Clarke

One particular dramatic point in the 2019 Tour de France was the emergence, public confirmation, and the subsequent controversy around the use of ketone esters. Team Jumbo-Visma sparked everything off when they publicly came out to discuss the incorporation of ketone esters in their nutritional strategy. Deceuninck-Quickstep and Lotto-Soudal quickly followed suit.

Are ketone esters an unfair advantage? Are they considered doping? Should they be banned? Or is this simply the next generation of sporting and performance food? Just like how Gatorade, Powerade or other carb drinks changed fueling 50 years ago, are we seeing the same paradigm shift today with ketones?

Let's break this down together, as there has been somewhat of a controversy with all this media attention. The co-inventor of ketone ester herself, Kieran Clarke, will also be adding color to this discussion.
