Dealing with steroids
I got asked this by a coach/trainer who is a friend of mine and told him I would post it on here. Hopefully he signs up here if some discussion occours.
He coaches (well, assistant coach) a fairly decent rugby team. Obviously in a sport like rugby, drugs are involved at most levels. He estimated that between 60-80% of the team is at least popping a few dbols before training. Its not illegal to possess steroids here in Canada.
The coach is a long time user himself and wants to actually help educate the team in terms of proper/more responsible use. But is worried that if he does bring it up - and any of more clueless parents/admin/other coaches finds out, his job is done and a shitstorm could ensue.
For those who train football/track/fighters etc where use is pretty common - what do you do? If you dont know if they are using, I dont think you could really give them proper training advice.
Kind of an interesting situation I bet alot of coaches/trainers find themselves in.
