Less than 1% of college athletes are caught doping

A few college athletes are caught using banned products. Does it mean that they don’t use doping products? Less than 1% of college football players have been caught violating anti-doping policies. They have tested positive for steroids and/or other doping products. Such situation must convince anti-doping agencies that they win in the fight against doping. But certain suspicions appear. It is believed that numerous college football players use anabolic steroids and/or other related medicines but they avoid detection successfully.
Why do such suspicions appear? Changes in appearance of college football players lead to controversial points of view. Thus, changes in body weight of over 61,000 college football players were lately analyzed by the Associated Press. Results demonstrated that a lot of college football players increased their body mass in short period of time obviously. Over 20 pounds were acquired by more than 4,500 college football players during a year. Furthermore, near 100 persons increased the body weight by more than 80 pounds during a year. As you see, the gains were evident.
Some experts assure that these aspects should not trouble anti-doping agencies. They claim that anti-doping officers shouldn’t subject college football players to drug tests only because they have enhanced body mass significantly.
But other experts have another point of view. Although they agree that it is impossible to be sure that certain football players have taken anabolic steroids and/or other related drugs, basing just upon changes in body mass, they notice that the changes may be a factor which causes suspicions connected with usage of steroids. So, such individuals that have increased body weight in short time should be subjected to drug testing.
Several college athletes that increased body mass obviously in short period of time were asked about their changes. The football players affirmed that they had never taken any forbidden medicines. They claimed that they achieved such amazing changes naturally. The college athletes noted that they had consumed much food for this purpose. So, they claimed that such essential results were achieved by them because of proper nutrition. According to them, it was not difficult to get many pounds in short period of time.
