Coaches will be probably blamed for rhabdomyolsis in certain football players

Over 10 players of the Iowa Hawkeyes football team were taken in hospital because of  rhabdomyolsis. This is a disease connected with fast destruction of skeletal muscle that results in leakage into urine the muscle protein myoglobin. People with this condition suffer from severe muscle pains, weakness and soreness. Since byproducts of the muscle damage become toxic to the kidneys, there is an increased risk of kidney failure in this case.
Specialists began immediately to blame nephrotoxic supplements or anabolic steroids in occurring of rhabdomyolsis in players of the Hawkeyes but there was no any  link between these drugs and this disease in them. James Williams, a physician, told to CBS during an interview that nephrotoxic supplements had to be blamed for the condition in these football players. He confirmed that individuals had dehydration, when their muscles became broken due to hard trainings. When supplements are administrated in such situations, they are turned to be toxic to kidneys directly, according to James William. He added that this condition led to rhabdomyolsis.
Unluckily, the media didn’t interview real high-qualified specialists. Only so-called specialists were asked by media. That’s why the affirmations were misleading.
It is suggested that Mike Gimbel of a Maryland anti-steroid and anti-supplement organization doesn’t have required knowledge. He just claims that although they do not know how the supplements act in body and whether they lead to any positive effects, these products are very dangerous for health.
Nevertheless, some facts showed that anabolic steroids were not responsible for rhabdomyolsis of the football players. These persons submitted to tests for banned products and they tested negative. Furthermore, a specialist has studied and shown that there was no any link between muscle disorders and anabolic steroids or HGH. Richard J. Auchus, a specialist on steroid metabolism at the University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas, confirms that gamma-Hydroxybutyric acid is the only product that could cause rhabdomyolsis. Sometimes this medicine is applied for anabolic effects too. This is an illegal drug. Certain specialists like Auchus, a consultant of the U. S. Anti-Doping Agency, consider that no any substance is to be demonized for this disease of these football players. He claims that the muscle disorder is caused by extremely hard training to which the coaches pushed the sportspersons.
The coach Chris Doyle will be probably blamed for rhabodomyolsis of the football players, if steroids or other supplements will be not turned to be the reasons of the disease. Who knows? Even sport in itself is associated with certain risks.
