While i don't believe that you need protein supplements, the rest of your post is incorrect. For e.g., most endurance athletes (e.g. up to ~15 hrs/week training) will require around 1.5 g of protein per kg of body mass. For evidence see, ACSM position stand.

Never heard of it, but i'll google it and let you know what i think.
The evidence i read chronicled subjects who secreted excess protein from mimimal intake.. of course when discussing the protein paradox, ask any 2 people and you'll get 4 different answers.
