I’m sorry. But the card says “Moops.”
Well I am fine with what you are saying as far as being a coach trying to do this for players, if that is a line that can’t be crossed with anything else, then yes fire them.
However if they are allowed to administer anything else but figured they should crack down because it was creatine then of course they are dumb-asses.
Bad coaches.
Creatine is not a drug, it’s a supplement.
Might as well criminalize protein shakes.
Idiots.
How about Gatorade?

If they brought it onto the field themselves for hydration purposes. Heck, I did too. And if anyone was taking any “performance enhancers” at home, there’s little I could do about that unless I noticed some (likely negative) trend in a player’s overall demeanor. But I certainly would never have provided it for them.
I was asked about a lot of things (Vietnam fascinated them endlessly), and I always tried to be as forthright as I could with them.
I told them marijuana use at height of their brain development was destructively bad and that if they had to smoke it they should wait until they were twenty-five or so, and then see how they felt about it.
I was proud of them that they at least seemed as close to the straight and narrow as the “typical” modern high school environment would yield.
And they made me fee like a kid again, which at 63, was as great as the rest of it put together.
I’d like to coach again when we move to SC. They’re just about going into eighth grade now. I’ll try hard to be ready.
Wow... were you a power lifter? I used it for regular building of mass, but I also took Yoga, Tae Kwon Do, did regular calisthenics, and ran 10-15 miles a week. In over 5 years of using creatine, the worst problem I had was headaches from poor water consumption (waste removal).
If you don't take a whole-body approach to weight training, you will absolutely get hurt. I wasn't trying to bulk up for a competition or show, and I maintained a healthy regimen of heavy weight training combined with flexibility and cardiovascular exercise to maintain systemic health.
I know too many young guys who try to beef up into mega men only to be sidelined by massive injuries such as you describe. Best example: working show muscles (traps, pecs, abdominals, biceps, anterior and medial deltoid heads, quads) while ignoring their supporting and partnering muscles (lats, inguinals, glutes, triceps, posterior deltoid and rhomboid, hamstrings).
I knew AHS cheated.
Are they still called “The Moores” or do they have a more PC name?

There's like a chemical witch hunt going on out there.
Still the Moors.
Guess you can’t really dis’ 15th century scum.
