Less than 1% of college athletes test positive for steroids

A few college athletes are caught taking prohibited preparations. Does it mean that they don’t use doping products? Less than 1% of college football players have been caught violating anti-doping rules. They have tested positive for steroids and/or other performance-enhancing drugs. Such situation must convince anti-doping agencies that they win in the fight against doping. But certain suspicions appear. It is believed that a lot of college football players administer steroids and/or other related products but they avoid detection successfully.
Why do such suspicions arise? Changes in physique of college football players cause controversial points of view. So, changes in body mass of over 61,000 college football players were lately analyzed by the Associated Press. Results manifested that numerous college football players enhanced their body weight in short period of time evidentially. Over 20 pounds were gotten by more than 4,500 college football players during a year. Furthermore, near 100 individuals enhanced the body mass by over 80 pounds during a year. As you see, the gains were evident.
Some experts assure that these aspects should not trouble anti-doping officers. They affirm that anti-doping officers shouldn’t subject college football players to drug tests only because they have increased body weight essentially.
But other specialists have another point of view. However they agree that it is impossible to assure that several football players have administered steroids and/or other related medicines, basing only on changes in body weight, they note that the changes may be a factor that leads to suspicions linked with usage of steroids. So, such individuals that have enhanced body weight in short period of time should be subjected to steroid testing.
Several college athletes that enhanced body weight evidentially in short period of time were asked about their changes. The sportspersons affirmed that they had never administered any forbidden medications. They affirmed that they achieved such amazing changes naturally. The college athletes noticed that they had consumed much food for this purpose. So, they claimed that such significant results were reached by them because of proper nutrition. According to them, it was not difficult to gain many pounds in short period of time.
