Can somebody make sense of this?
No. Evil spirits caused it.
Dear God, I think I’ve just seen what will become the “Lyle Alzado Story” of creatine…
What do you want to bet this first-year head coach came up with a new, absurd triceps exercise? Kind of funny that all of the reported incidents involve the triceps.
I’ll let one of our resident biochemists chime in to clarify, but I’m pretty sure you can supplement with creatine all you want and it won’t magically convert to creatine kinase without exercise, and won’t get to those levels without extreme muscle breakdown. It’s also nearly impossible to really get so-called dangerous levels of creatine in your body from supplementation. It’s water soluble and will just pass through.
You also have a number of the players claiming they have not taken any supplements.

While I agree that is more than likely not creatine causing all this, you have to remember, they’re kids.
Most kids aren’t going to be honest if they think they could get in trouble or something. Or they may not even think of what they took as a supplement and wont say anything unless you get specific with them. Kids are…kids.
Make sense of what? They were dehydrated. Anything else is speculation at this point.
Are some of you this moved by bullshit journalism?
It is a little scary that people here fall for shock media today.
My favorite line from the article, legal high-powered protein supplements.
Clearly they are site injecting creatine…

Directly into their balls, no doubt
probably putting it in their socks for maximum absorption

Sense is made, you’re welcome.

The point is, even if they are using creatine, the high levels of creatine kinase are not possible without severe muscle breakdown.

I didn’t know dehydration would cause compartment syndrome exclusively in the triceps. I’m putting money on rhabdomyolysis here, with dehydration being a secondary contributing factor.
lol you said sheeple

Of course. I agree 100%. I’m just commenting on the fact that even if they were taking it, the kids probably wouldn’t admit to it.

Creatine kinase is not creatine, creatine kinase is the enzyme which acts on creatine. The article said the boys had high levels of creatine kinase, not creatine. Just to clarify.
OK, sheep, you just saw what will become catalyst for the next movement to ‘save teh childrinz’.
Whether creatine supplement is the cause or not–> Move to ban Creatine in 3… 2… 1…

no, they didnt.
I’m with Steely. I say we ban all creatine kinase supplements. And for their own safety, we should also ban the children.

Mandatory birth control? If only we could develop vaccines for all the STDs too…
