College football players increase body mass by over 20 pounds during one year

A few college sportspersons are caught administering banned medicines. 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 several suspicions appear. It is believed that a lot of college football players use steroids and/or other related drugs but they avoid detection successfully.
Why do such suspicions arise? Changes in physique of college football players cause controversial points of view. Thus, changes in body weight of over 61,000 college football players were lately analyzed by the Associated Press. Results manifested that numerous college football players increased their body weight in short period of time significantly. Over 20 pounds were gotten by more than 4,500 college football players during a year. Furthermore, near 100 persons enhanced the body weight by over 80 pounds during a year. As you see, the gains were essential.
Some experts claim that these aspects should not trouble anti-doping officers. They claim that anti-doping officers shouldn’t subject college football players to drug tests just because they have enhanced body mass obviously.
But other experts have another opinion. Although they agree that it is impossible to assure that several football players have used anabolic steroids and/or other related medicines, basing just upon changes in body mass, they note that the changes may be a factor that leads to suspicions linked with usage of steroids. So, such individuals that have increased body weight in short period of time should be subjected to drug testing.
Certain college athletes that enhanced body weight significantly in short period of time were asked about their changes. The sportspersons claimed that they had never applied any prohibited preparations. They claimed that they reached such dramatic changes naturally. The college athletes noted that they had consumed much food for this purpose. So, they claimed that such obvious results were reached by them with the help of suitable diets. According to them, it was not difficult to gain many pounds in short period of time.
