[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What otc supplements are we talking about here? Creatine? [/quote]

That's old fashioned and not an issue now.  The OTC synthetic riods in common usage are far more advanced now.  Like many substances in this area -- unless you are tested for them regularly and properly, it is hard to detect them, and the FDA is way behind in research.  Notwithstanding their inane stance on THC, WADA is probably the organization that is most current on harmful substances taken to improve athletic performance, so if something has a substance that is banned by WADA then for sure it is out.

BUT -- even if an organization like WADA bans it -- you can likely still find it at local health stores catering to lifters.  This stuff is NOT hard to find.  A WADA ban does not mean that the FTC bans it or that it cannot be sold at your local health supplement/vitamin store.  And, if it is being used by adults -- you can bet teens are using as well.

As an aside -- on the more professional (but banned) usage of performance enhancing drugs; if you have not seen the Icarus documentary you (and your teen) should watch it.
