Don't get me wrong, my daughter is vegetarian and 90 per cent of my diet is too ( i know vegan and vegetarian are not 'quite' the same ) . Can anyone name a top Sports player who is either vegetarian or vegan????

There's a fair few vegan pro cyclists, one has just completed the Girl but I'll be jiggered if I can remember his name, despite The Cycling Podcast doing a feature on him

Famously Mo Farah. When advertising Quorn. Otherwise not so much.

In terms of footballers, I know Russel Martin is as is Chris Smalling and Declan Rudd. I also know that Forest Green Rovers have quite strict rules about a players’ diet on match days (no meat). Lewis Hamilton is vegan too. I also know the strongest American weightlifter at the last Olympic Games was vegan. There’s been loads of articles about Vegan NFL players cropping up in the news too.

Chris Smalling.

He doesn’t really talk about it in public but I know for a fact that he is.

Adam Hansen - an interesting chap, not a man to sit back and relax.

Er, Bruno, Vegan.

Also, Glenn Murray has taken a leaf out of Bruno’s book and followed suit I believe.

Mike Tyson was/is, except for human meat.
Also, Venus is, but i think Serena might be? So, the greatest female athletes of all time.
Aguero is, and Messi is mostly. GOAT.
