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.

Er, Bruno, Vegan.

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

I’m sure I read Hamilton (and I also think Murray) are only plant based during their respective seasons.

Jason Gillespie at Sussex, he talks a lot about it and it’s benefits for Sports people. He comes up and does some commentary every game and even the commentators said they have cut down their meat consumption on the back of it.

Rich Roll ultramarathon runner is vegan. In May 2010, Rich and his ultra-colleague Jason Lester accomplished an unprecedented feat of staggering endurance many said was not possible. Something they call the*EPIC5 CHALLENGE- a odyssey that entailed completing 5 ironman-distance triathlons on 5 islands of Hawaii in under a week.*

There are also several vegan boxers and bodybuilders. I am not myself vegan.

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

Can't remember his name? I'm mot surprised, they don't like to talk about it. :)

Lewis Hamilton reckons on Instagram that we should tuck into the lettuce to save the planet. You'd think his irony detector would overload given that he flies around the world to drive petrol based cars really quick but apparently not.

It's like Mo Salah giving us a lecture on the dangers of falling over.
