    It's not classed as a performance enhancer as it naturally occurs in the body. I know some other things naturally occur in body and you can fail for extreme levels but not creatine AFAIK.


    Im just saying if one person is taking it and the other isnt then is it not an unfair advantage. And taking a scoop of powder out of a tub mixing it with water and ramming it down your throat 2 times a day doesnt seem natural to me. Maybe im just old school

    Creatine is found naturally in beef. Powders (protein, creatine) are for convenience.

    But the person who drinks 2 bottles of water a day has an advantage, too?

    Doping doesn't have to be the extreme nature of Armstrong's blood transfusions. Under the GAA regulations, things like Berocca and even lemsip would fail a drugs test and constitute doping.

    I heard that before yeah. But they can take some painkillers, so there are exceptions.

    Obviously, if someone failed a drugs test on account of having a berocca you would say 'Well it was stupid, he should know the rules' but he wouldn't be shamed.

    It's not really cheating though for someone to forgetfully have a lemsip when they're sick.

    I'm talking about accusations of people actually cheating here.

    It's not an advantage if everybody is allowed use it. The people that aren't taking it, could take it, if they decided it would be beneficial.
