No, there's way more crap on there beyond vitamins. I'm surprised she's even taking some of this stuff. Supplements are not regulated by the FDA, so GNC-type of stuff (MD+ links to some body builder website) could very well be suspect. If she's tested out of competition, why would she risk putting so much questionable stuff in her system? She's taking various drugs for pain relief, sleep, asthma, allergies, acne, etc.. It's an interesting mindset for someone to think they need to take all this crap to ~sleep better, breath better, have better skin, etc..

Hey kids, stay away from drugs and become a healthy clean living runner.

The Daily Mail is a complete farce and not a credible news source. Wikipedia just banned them, as well. I suppose it's perfect for this message board, though.

You are a sheep because you're believing and following the herd. How about you critique the article and tell us where it's wrong rather than following the herd and dismissing anything from The Daily Mail.

I've just read it, seems fair enough to me.

No...you need to expand your intellectual capabilities a little bit and articulate what's wrong with the information. Both USADA & UKAD are quoted in the report. If you think a report is inaccurate, you need to explain why and not just default on the publication source. Didn't they teach you that in school daddy-o? 🤔.

God, I'm tired of hearing about this group. They need to get busted so they go away.

If Salazar weren't a liar, it's because Salazar is the only one that knows a supplement is WADA compliant. Which, is false. Don Catlin certifies supplements as WADA compliant.

Supplements aren't regulated by the FDA because most don't do anything. Which, is why they are not regulated.

If she wants to stay in Salazar's program, probably the only decent money in the sport, doping is part of the program.

It does seem like a lot, but even your average recreational fitness types take about half the stuff on that list.

Even outside of sport, there is a lot of idiots who believe they need to do some good to themselves, by taking drugs. Any drugs. That does not make it smart or right. And no, not everyone does it.

What drugs does she take for pain relief?

She might have trouble getting off to sleep. A zolpidem is a command sedative that helps you fall asleep. I don't see the problem? Sleep is important to recovery and high levels of training cause insomnia.

What asthma medication is she taking?

You are against an athlete taking claritin? For seasonal allergies? Along with saline nasal rinse for the same reason?

You are against an athlete using a topical antibiotic cream? A cream designed to kill the bacteria that cause acne? A cream that thousands of adults use?

I'm glad people like you don't make the rules. Because you are fking retarded. Why should a person suffer hayfever because you think they shouldn't take claritin and if they do they are cheating in their sport?

Completely, hysterically, insane.
