I know steroids are being sold here in USA, but not legally! In one of your previous posts you put steroids and creatine in same category. When creatine is sold legally. You said that obviously they don't train often enough, how do you know that? I don't think you do unless you spend your day in the gym all day long, every day.

If creatine is banned in your country, then its just your country and it does not mean its harmful. If creatine is banned in your country, i bet protein shakes are illegal too.

see, creatine is 100% natural and occurs naturally in many foods. Yes, that steak at Smolenky's has some creatine, so does foods such as beef, tuna, salmon, herring etc... Also, your body makes creatine naturally.
And yea, I’ve used creatine.

BenCA,

To finish with that subject,
About that product I've apparently mistaken for steroids, I'm gonna take a closer look and tell you exactly what it is.
About creatine, it is banned in France as are all kinds of energy products such as protein and energy drinks and that may be excessive. When the ban came two or three years ago, the media reported that several French internationals playing in Italy (Zidane, Deschamps, Thuram and others) had been using creatine in their clubs, which they readily admitted to, stating that everybody was using it. They never had to answer to a judge.
Finally, in a book I have about nutrition for sports, the author (french), while otherwise firmly opposed to drugs in sports, dedicates a small section to the benefits of a creatine treatment (gains in speed and strength), advising in favour of such a diet to supplement the limited stocks contained in muscles, given that sportsmen can't eat a lot of meat, and saying that the french legislation is based on obsolete information as creatine has been proven to be "completely innocuous".
So, you're probably right.

In spite of all odds and tremendous pressure from stinking "free" press Egorova has done it again!!!!!!!
Her win in Berlin this weekend was a fifth victory in the Golden League events.
She was very happy with her piece of gold (share of $500,000).

Cheers to Egorova!
