Not saying you can't make it as a veg/vegan. I know some elite athletes who have been staunch vegetarians for a long time. There are a bunch of strength/speed/bodybuilder athletes that have gained some notoriety for being strict veg/vegan, although unfortunately that seems to be the only reason that they are known and not for any results. In other words, they're labeled as performing amongst elite athletes, but not known for doing well or even excelling amongst them.
