A few college athletes are caught using prohibited medicines. Does it mean that they don’t dope? Less than 1% of college football players have been caught violating anti-doping policies. They have tested positive for steroids and/or other doping products. Such situation must assure anti-doping agencies that they win in the fight against doping. But certain suspicions appear. It is believed that a lot of college football players use steroids and/or other related drugs but they avoid detection successfully.
Why do such suspicions arise? Changes in appearance of college football players lead to controversial opinions. Thus, changes in body mass of more than 61,000 college football players were recently analyzed by the Associated Press. Results demonstrated that a lot of college football players enhanced their body weight in short period of time evidentially. Over 20 pounds were gotten by over 4,500 college football players during a year. Moreover, circa 100 individuals enhanced the body mass by over 80 pounds during a year. As you see, the gains were significant.
Certain experts claim that these aspects should not trouble anti-doping officers. They affirm that anti-doping officials shouldn’t subject college football players to drug tests just because they have increased body weight essentially.
But other specialists have another opinion. Although they agree that it is impossible to assure that certain football players have applied steroids and/or other related products, basing only on changes in body weight, they note that the changes may be a factor which leads to suspicions connected with administration of steroids. Thus, such individuals that have increased body weight in short period of time should be subjected to steroid testing.
Some college football players that increased body weight significantly in short period of time were asked about their changes. The football players affirmed that they had never used any forbidden preparations. They claimed that they reached such dramatic changes naturally. The college athletes noted that they had consumed much food for this purpose. So, they assured that such essential results were reached by them because of appropriate diets. According to them, it was not difficult to get many pounds in short period of time.
