There are examples of top athletes who are Vegan, like Novak Djokovic. Keto low carb stuff has been around for a while now, I've never heard of any top athletes who eat like that though or are on the pure carnivore diet.
Top athletes have never been most healthy. Whenever you are on top of any sport, you accept being less healthy than the average person that just does a healthy amount of sport and eats optimaly.
Noone is denieing that eating carbs from plants improves energy output, muscle growth and recovery for athletes. Otherwise bodybuilders, bikers and many many others wouldnt ingest insulin, for example.
It should be common sense to understand that those are more concerned about performance than health.
Look up how many marathon runners die at a very early age. It's bad for the heart. Or Football players (dont call it soccer!) dieing on the field, or higher weight strength athletes etc etc
