The Wonderful World of Sports Supplements
November 28, 2008
Are sports supplements ethical? Surely it is just the same as eating healthily to improve your fitness. When people (for example Dwain Chambers) take illegal enhancing supplements clearly this is unethical as the competition is not able legally to get the same aids to improve their performance.
The actual effectiveness of some sports supplements is disputable as they are merely a weight gaining shake rather than something that increases protein synthesis in your muscles as steroids do.
Most sports supplements are riddled with creatine that basically gives you diarrhoea. Surely this would offset the weight gain, as you would be constantly getting rid of any weight that you put on. Not only that, but you could become anaemic through having the squits indefinitely.
This begs the questions, exactly how far will some people go for success? It’s not only prevalent in sport; models starving themselves to be the thinnest and most famous on the catwalk. What about business moguls working 18 plus hour days and literally walking into an early grave?
With any level of excellence comes some level of sacrifice, be it physically, socially or impacts on your friends and family. If you are that driven to succeed then it is likely you will take what help you can get from enhancers, depending on your ethics; the legal or illegal ones.
