Alhambra High School Coaches Fired After Players Given Performance Enhancers
Alhambra High School officials have dismissed the institution’s football coaching staff after it emerged players had been given nutritional supplement Creatine to enhance their performance on the field.
It prevents concussions.Probably made the kids safer.
LOOOOOOOOL
?
wow
People are more scared of creatine than they are front cocaine and marijuana. Such a shame.
This is obviously completely fucking retarded, but high school rules are probably the same as NCAA rules. That is, they can’t provide any type of nutritional supplements to athletes because the governing bodies don’t want anyone pointing fingers at them if someone suffers adverse effects (even if they aren’t legitimately attributable to the supplements in question).
Why dont the manufacturers behind these products not fund scientific research to disprove this horse shit?
Oh yeah…because the drinks and tobacco industry did it and we all know how that turned out.
stupid move on the coaches, but its sad people think creatine is a dangerous ped
Yeah, IIRC, this type of things has nothing to do with the legality of the supplement used, it’s about coaches providing supplements to their players.
And is creatine really going to make that much of a difference?

D1 colleges can and do provide all kinds of sups. They just have to be approved by the NCAA.
I am having a heart attack reading the comments on that article’s page… I couldn’t get through more than a few.
School officials are right on this.
Creatine is no big deal, but coaches shouldn’t have anything to do with what supps athletes are taking. There are some dumbass coaches out there who might try some dumb shit if this isnt nipped in the bud, giving students creatine today might lead to pro-hormones tomorrow.

One parent not notified and started the mess. Let me guess that kid isn’t going to be the popular team mate.
Schools may be hyper-sensitive to creatine because in some states you must be eighteen to purchase the supplement.
Louisville high school football offensive lineman 15-year-old Max Gilpin collapsed due to heat in 2008. There were reports that he had creatine in his system and rumors that the coaching staff denied some players water on a humid 94 degree day. Ultimately the coach was cleared in a civil suit.

He provided creatine for his athletes?
Why isn’t this man in jail yet?
haven’t even read the article yet but in 2001 we won the state championship in football. whoopy shit I know but he got fired cause he advised some of players “steroids” when now my bestfriend the quarterback on that team said it was only creatine…Im sure it goes alone with the article, pure ignorance on the administration

Yes. It has nothing to do with what was given, it has to do with that coaches shouldn’t be giving anything to kids. I don’t want teachers offering drugs to enhance academic focus, I don’t want school bus drivers offering kids stuff to make them sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up, I don’t want cafeteria ladies offering probiotics to aid student digestion.
It’s inappropriate. Period.
