I'd believe anything after learning a caterpillar fungus helped set
Olympic records:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ophiocordyceps_sinensis

"The Western world was largely unaware of Ophiocordyceps prior to
1993. The fungus dramatically caught the world's eyes due to the
performance of three female Chinese athletes, Wang Junxia, Qu Yunxia,
and Zhang Linli. These athletes broke 5 world records for 1,500, 3,000
and 10,000 meters at the National Games in Beijing, China."
