Sorry, you're quite right Eric. My mistake!
They don't specifically ban NaHCO3 but they will not allow an athlete to participate if they have an unusually high urine pH. The athlete will be allowed to participate once they're urine pH has returned to normal, which rules out the possibility of gaining an ergogenic effect from sodium bicarbonate consumption.
I started this thread hoping to recruit subjects for my study but this is interesting!
Are you saying that it is safe and ethical for Freedivers to consume NaHCO3 prior to training or competition?
