Creatine!!!!

[GirlieZ]

Sorry none of that is true unless someone is abusing supplements. I have been in the fitness industry for 8 years and have done the research. No products damage you if you take the proper dosage. Also if I was a professional athlete (or training to get to pro-status) I wouldn't touch a single supp either bc as soon as you gain 10 lbs you get called out for steroids.

Everyone responds to supps/med/riods differently. These products DO damage your body after repeated use, even if it is the proper dosage/cycling.

My husband plays hockey, a sport which riod and supp use is not widespread.
I coach triathletes, a sport that riod/blood doping/supp use is widespread. And recent deaths from usage have been an growing issue. The ITU and USAT only test pro/national team athletes so usage in age group athletes is a growing problem (where most the issues are coming from).

It all comes down to ethics in pro sports with the usage of supps/riods/doping. As far as the 'recreational' supp user is concerned, I still am strictly against it. And I too have been involved in national/international level competition and professional athletics for over a decade, been coaching for almost 9 years, and I have heard both sides and the gray area over and over again. I was encouraged by a couple of my coaches to go on creatine as an age group athlete and even now been offered vasodilators to race on, i said no thanks.
