Plenty. Olympics is very scientific. That level of sports is where you get shaving your body and wearing spandex to ride faster in the first place they aren't myths.

That level of sport is also where you have sponsors which you don't want to loose by being outside the norm.

I do a lot of bicycling. I have no idea if the lycra bibs make you ride faster, but they sure as fuck do help prevent the chafing.
