I am a young man aged 15 and I love training and keeping fit. I have friends at school that I play the same sport with. They have big muscles and great bodies for sports and girls at our school always scream when they get on to the field.
I have asked them how they train to have such muscles and they have advised me to buy some supplements to get a great body. I don’t want to get myself into trouble, I am not sure if what they are taking is something that is allowed. Can supplements do any harm? – T-One
Dear T-One
It is tricky with supplements these days dear, unlike other pills that have all their ingredients on the label, what is written on supplements is not always what is contained because there is no regulatory board that governs them. Anti-doping in sport is a serious thing so it is wise for you to find out if those supplements do not contain banned substances. Otherwise you will ruin your career as an athlete.
Approach your coach or sports master to advise you. Some substances may be harmful to your body, so even though you might not care about being banned from competing in sports it is important to consider your health. – Aunty Lisa
