Well, technically cycling shorts are compression shorts, but I don't know how much support they really provide (they do smooth out my fat like spanx)
I know a company came out with running tights that claimed to improve performance because of the specialized muscle support--and I thought that was C@#$ for an amateur athlete.

This seems like a very likely answer to me. And, the fact that no one else has chimed in supports that (pun intended). If cycling shorts did do something for muscle support, people would be all over that action.
