Oh god I have become "stinky person" at the gym

For some bizarre reason as soon as I start working out, my gym top starts exuding a foul smell of old sweat.

I check my armpits and it isn't me, the odour seems to come from the shoulder area.

I get paranoid that everyone can smell me and think I am some manky unwashed type.
I wash my clothes in Bold 2 in 1 and they come out smelling lovely, but it is just this one top...

Help!
How do I get old sweat smells out of clothes?

How did I pick up this pong anyway...As far as I know, I don't sweat out of my shoulder

half a cup of vinegar in your wash should sort this out.

i had this with some of dh's gym stuff

used to have to wash them twice

finally figured we had a drain problem - was affecting all ashing but only really noticeable with extra stinky clothes (gym stuff)

hey spagblog, you know the bold 2-in-1, is is the lavender and chamomile, cos that smells of wee/sweat to me, as they dry

would second what dejags said, i've tried vinegar and it does work (and for smelly old trainers as well)
