I have a friend who held the California High School Bench Press Record back in the early 90's. Huge Roid head, no surprise there. He wrecked his motorcycle and messed himself up something bad. Was in the hospital for well over a month. Casts all over his body with broken bones and serious road rash ripping away skin. Doctors told him he would need skin grafts plus to expect it to be a long painful recovery with that. When they took the casts off to their shock his body had healed his skin problems enough that he didn't need skin grafts. Doctors said it was a miracle and raved about his recovery. At one of his follow up visits he finally fessed up to the doctor that his brother had been coming cycling him on roids when he was in the hospital. I think they switched off between pills & shots. Doctor said that explained the amazing recovery.
Which leads to the question of why didn't they prescribe him roids as part of his recovery if they work so well? I was prescribed a 30 day cycle of roids for a shoulder injury. I have a Doctor buddy who thinks everybody over 50 should do some human growth hormones to help their bodies with aging.
Have had teammates that shotgunned a bang energy drink in the bullpen before their outing in like the 6th inning and failed an NCAA/Big 12 drug test after the game. The caffeine rule is so stupid.
He's so full of shit. There isn't a sports recovery drink that would make you pop on a drug test. Recovery drinks typically contain BCAAs or protein, and/or electrolytes, and/or carbs (sugar).
Now if we're talking a pre-workout or energy drink he would have to consume 400-500+ mg of caffeine within 1-2 hours of being tested.
I heard some rumors from guys on the team last fall on what it was, but it wasn't a recovery or energy drink.
I just assumed everyone knew the "energy drink" angle was your garden-variety cover story for PR purposes, appeasing the non-sports crowd, etc. Like yes, technically this drink has something in it that could conceivably be a part of a positive test of some sort, but obviously the real reason is something more full-strength.
Dean repeating that Nouili said this is I guess to be expected, but actually believing it is comical.
