As a parent this is alarming because , well because of the alarming fact that your child was just hospitalized. Nothing more, because you shouldn't have to have something as serious as hospitalization to bring your attention..
For the coaches. What the FUCK where you thinking... OK, you're thinking the same thing as every other coach in the nation, I have to win. Whatever the cost, but this is obviously getting out of hand... This may be the first time something this drastic has occured, but then again, it had better be the last. It has to be the last. Im sure tons of coaches push it upon their athletes to work out hard, take supplements, but the amount of creatine found in their blood levels were way too much. They were over a thousand times past the level of advised safety.
As a writer, a fan, and an avid high school athlete this scares me as well. Whos fault it is , we don't officially know.. Even though I blame the coaches for their influence and supervision, I know that it could easily be led to the ingrediants of the actual mix they were using to supplement their muscles, something I as well as hundred of thousand of other athletes use. The worst part is, because the cause is unknown it could even happen to me... how much is too much.
In the end, it really is hard to make accusations, without proper verdict, but it doesn't the reality that maybe we as a nation, and a race are pushing the limits too hard, and what we believe to be natural isn't exactly so...
* on a side note, I want to say sorry for not getting a post out before I went to work today, I hope to have one out early tomorrow morning! Keep looking in! Thanks Guys!!!*
