Could hard trainings cause rhabdomyolsis in certain players of the Iowa Hawkeyes football team?

More than 10 players of the Iowa Hawkeyes football team were taken in hospital due to  rhabdomyolsis. This is a disease linked with fast damage of skeletal muscle that results in leakage into urine the muscle protein myoglobin. Persons with this disease suffer from serious muscle pains, weakness and soreness. Since byproducts of the muscle damage become toxic to the kidneys, there is an induced risk of kidney failure under this circumstance.
Experts started immediately to demonize nephrotoxic supplements or anabolic steroids in occurring of rhabdomyolsis in the Hawkeyes’ football players but there was no any  link between these medicines and this illness in them. The doctor James Williams told to CBS during an interview that nephrotoxic supplements had to be blamed for the disease in these football players. He claimed 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 caused rhabdomyolsis.
Unluckily, the media didn’t interview real high-qualified experts. Just so-called experts were asked by media. That’s why the conclusions were misleading.
It is suggested that Mike Gimbel of a Maryland anti-steroid and anti-supplement organization doesn’t have required knowledge. This person just claims that although they do not know how the supplements act in body and whether they lead to any benefits, these preparations are very dangerous for health.
Nonetheless, certain aspects showed that anabolic steroids were not responsible for rhabdomyolsis of the football players. These players submitted to tests for banned substances and they tested negative. Furthermore, an expert has studied and shown that there was no any connection between muscle damages and anabolic steroids or HGH. Richard J. Auchus, an expert on steroid metabolism at the University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas, claims that gamma-Hydroxybutyric acid is the only medication that could lead to this condition. Sometimes this medication is taken for anabolic effects as well. This is an illicit medication. Some specialists like Auchus, a consultant of the U. S. Anti-Doping Agency, are sure that no any substance is to be demonized for rhabdomyolsis of the players. He confirms that the muscle disorder is caused by extremely hard training to which the trainers pushed the players.
The trainer 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 condition. Who knows? Even sport in itself may be accompanied by certain risks.
