During England's opening match against Serbia at Euro 2024, fans were quick to spot something unusual happening with star player Kieran Trippier. Images and videos of him consuming two mysterious sachets went viral on social media, causing a buzz and sparking false rumors. Some even accused him of doping, while others called for England to be disqualified. However, the truth behind the footage has finally been revealed.
It turns out that Trippier was not taking any illegal substances, but instead was drinking pickle juice. This may sound strange, but it is actually a common practice among some athletes to combat cramps. In fact, pickle juice is said to be 40% more effective in stopping cramps than plain water. The second sachet contained a high-carb drink known as "fuel bomb," which is also perfectly legal in the world of football.
When asked about the pickle juice plan, England star Kobbie Mainoo admitted that he has not personally tried it and has no plans to do so. However, Train Effective, a football training app, has explained in detail the benefits of drinking pickle juice. They point out that it is packed with electrolytes, which are crucial for muscle function and hydration. Athletes often lose these electrolytes through sweat and can become dehydrated, leading to muscle cramps.
So, while some fans may have initially thought that Trippier was trying to sneakily inject himself with performance-enhancing drugs, it turns out that he was simply trying to prevent cramps. The pickle juice and "fuel bomb" were given to him by the England team in an effort to keep their players in top form during the tournament. And for those who are not fans of the taste, they can dilute it with water or add some honey and lemon to make it more palatable.
