More Steroid Problems…
Several months ago, I posted the following blog entry:
Within ^ this entry, the following report was referenced:
Unfortunately, it appears that this trend has continued. Below is a more recent news report which tells the exact same story:
As stated within the most recent study, steroids are often found in over the counter dietary supplements.
What does this mean? Well, as a coach or athlete, you need to know what you are taking or prescribing. Your career can be RUINED by taking what you believe to be a legal supplement. No one will care whether or not you knew. You’ll always be labeled as a cheat.
If you don’t know what you are taking, don’t take it.
Stay clean and stay strong,

One has to wonder if this is what happened to Sean Sherk–while his physique might make some folks wonder if he really does use steroids, everything I know about the guy says that there’s no way he’d ever knowingly put an unhealthy substance in his body. This is a little spooky.
good post ross. worth repeating.
Wow, talk about an eye opener. I gave up supplements in favor of vitamins, fish oil and hard work. I would have never thought that industries where sneaking this B.S. in them. Great post.
Awesome post. I agree…good healthy grass fed meats, a great diet, fish oils, vitamins and pain are enough to become an elite athlete. A good friend of mine actually works for Champion Nutrition and he told me about this study before it was released because they contacted his company. His was one of only four protein powders that did not have crap in it. Sorry, it sounds like I am advertising but he claims they have remained a smaller nutrition company to continue putting out good product. I still am not huge on supplements.
Again, WOW. Shocking. This was an eye opener. Other than whey protein, fish oil & flax, I only occasionally use supplements if I see something interesting. Most recently I experimented with a product called Horse Power by Ultimate Nutrition. I experinced benefits from it and to be honest now I wonder if it falls into that 11% catagory.
I pride myself on my commitment to healthy living, clean diet etc. This is BIG NEWS.
First of all Sean sherk is defenitely on hgh and steroids like 99 percent of all the fighters in UFC. Hes tested positive and got too greedy and ran his steroids too close to his fight or ran the wrong kind in which he thought would be out of his system in time for the test and thats how he got caught. They all run growth hormone as I know for sure bc Ive trained in vegas and its a known fact that all the Couture guys do it and hell you can just look at their physiques and tell. They also run endurance drugs and blood dope for better endurance and hell look at Hughes and Sherk if you dont think so. Its all bullshit the only thing that builds muscle besides taking in enough protein and cratine and a multi vitamin and other things for your health is juice and HGH and IGF-1 and there are many new drugs such as peptides that cant even be tested for bc of the expense and that theyd have to take blood and hair follice tests to actually catch them.
