College football players get more than 20 pounds during one year

A few college sportspersons are caught applying prohibited products. Does it mean that they don’t use performance-enhancing drugs? Less than 1% of college football players have been caught violating anti-doping policies. They have tested positive for steroids and/or other performance-enhancing drugs. Such situation must convince anti-doping agencies that they win in the war on doping. But some suspicions arise. It is believed that numerous college football players use anabolic steroids and/or other related medications but they avoid detection successfully.
Why do such suspicions arise? Changes in physique of college football players cause controversial affirmations. Thus, changes in body mass of more than 61,000 college football players were recently analyzed by the Associated Press. Results manifested that numerous college football players increased their body weight in short period of time essentially. Over 20 pounds were gotten by over 4,500 college football players during a year. Furthermore, circa 100 persons enhanced the body mass by more than 80 pounds during a year. As you see, the gains were significant.
Several specialists affirm that these aspects should not trouble anti-doping officers. They affirm that anti-doping officers shouldn’t subject college football players to drug tests just because they have enhanced body mass obviously.
But other experts have another opinion. However they agree that it is impossible to assure that several football players have applied steroids and/or other related drugs, basing just upon changes in body mass, they notice that the changes may be a factor which causes suspicions linked with administration of steroids. Thus, such persons that have enhanced body weight in short period of time should be subjected to steroid testing.
Several college athletes that enhanced body weight significantly in short period of time were asked about their changes. The sportspersons claimed that they had never taken any prohibited products. They assured that they reached such dramatic changes naturally. The college athletes noticed that they had consumed much food for this purpose. Thus, they affirmed that such essential results were achieved by them because of proper diets. According to them, it was not difficult to gain many pounds in short period of time.
