    It breaks down fat in a more efficient manner than the body would do naturally and can therefore aid athletes in endurance sports e.g. Football.

    Yeah but I would consider that "legit" in preseason preparation as part of a diet, but not on match day for an immediate bonus

    Maybe, but it's the masking use of it that makes it a red flag drug in athletics, weight lifting etc etc

    Hold ****....I assume average joe would have to go through 100 of them for the desired effect lol.

    So is the solid stuff banned as well? I can't remember seeing a player with that distinctive snail trail on their shirt in a while come to think about it...

    Doesn't give you an immediate bonus, just a general increase in performance level over time (though very slight).

    OK I assumed the point of a fat burner was to burn fat which I consider fine as it's diet rather than performance enhancing

    But if it's also used for a short term bonus then that's "performance enhancing"

    Lads the Vicks stuff is really.simple


    Someone's tried the excuse.. oh that test fir steroids.. it was just my Vicks

    The banned list has every thing authorities have found acoss sports that are used or used as excuses. The list is long cos chancers are trying scams

    There's no excuse with respect guys when sahko has the finest of resources there laid on to go to and he goes and avoids them and takes this stuff cos he's not trusting the doctors to not report back to manager that he's a fat **** apparently.

    Not one single excuse and it does matter btw.

    Footballers have doctors with every scientific research available to help them legally to be the best they can be. And yeah they are all over vitamins and all sorts but they have some basis to it.

    This ^

    They're athletes and know the everything they ingest needs to be compliant.

    I don't buy 'innocent mistake Guv' from any athlete as they're fully aware of the rules, as are their medical Teams

    Not in public.

    That does say something. He has said nothing so tomorrow is deadline. If no test then he's admitting he's taken it. Imo you cannot expect to be believed that you really don't know wtf is going on if you don't get b sample taken.
