Just like in sports: When all options have been explored, it’s time for a change. That’s exactly how I feel about X. Hoping that #BlueSky brings fresh momentum and a space for meaningful exchange, you can now find me there. 👉bsky.app/profile/billysperli…

🏔️ Information Overload: As the study below illustrates, the sheer volume of publications has grown so large that even specialists or expert practitioners struggle to keep up. My original goal - making knowledge more accessible -has, in some ways, backfired.

I still advocate open-access publishing. But we urgently need better regulation. Right now, the major beneficiaries are large publishers. In Germany alone, we are spending millions of taxpayer euros merely to “flip a Word file into a PDF” - and that’s not sustainable.

Carbon monoxide inhalation for endurance gains? Minor benefits, but huge risks—hypoxia, organ damage, even death—and unknown long-term effects. A global team urges a ban to safeguard athletes & fairness. @NADADeutschland @wada #antidoping @DOSB

Repeated carbon monoxide inhalation triggers hypoxia-induced erythropoiesis, increasing hemoglobin mass—a practice likely abused by endurance athletes. We call on WADA to act urgently and ban this dangerous doping method. Our editorial by @BillySperlich: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

3⃣CGM didn't meet clinical accuracy for diabetic care 4⃣ Read & judge yourself whether CGM could be used by non-diabetic athletes tracking blood glucose. ‼️ Potential benefits of CGM in #sportsnutrition and physiology need more validation and rational justification.
