They say you need a day for every hour of time difference to truly reset
your internal body clock. Of course drugs such as melatonin can help but I
don't know if it's a banned substance. Melatonin is a naturally occurring
enzyme (I think) and can be found in mid stream urine. So the solution for

I'm really thinking I'll need a pen and paper to draw this one out for
you. I think the question that Luke was asking was
"Are Pham Van Quyen (who scored at 15 minutes and 42 minutes) and Pham
Van Quyen (who scored at 75 minutes), the same person? Making a
hat-trick for Pham Van Quyen (or, indeed, Pham Van Quyen) at 15, 42 and
75 minutes."
I mean, if you got that off the gramatically challenged DailySoccer -
there's every chance that it really is just one person (called Pham Van
Quyen, or possibly Pham Van Quyen).
