Relations between trainings and muscle disorders

Over 10 players of the Iowa Hawkeyes football team were taken in hospital due to  rhabdomyolsis. This is an illness related to fast destruction of skeletal muscle which results in leakage into urine the muscle protein myoglobin. People with this condition suffer from severe muscle aches, weakness and soreness. Since byproducts of the muscle damage become toxic to the kidneys, there is a high risk of kidney failure under this circumstance.
Specialists began immediately to blame nephrotoxic supplements or anabolic steroids in occurring of rhabdomyolsis in players of the Hawkeyes but there was no any  link between these medications and this disease in them. The physician James Williams told to CBS during an interview that nephrotoxic supplements had to be blamed for the condition in these football players. He confirmed that persons had dehydration, when their muscles became broken due to hard trainings. When supplements are applied in such situations, they are turned to be toxic to kidneys directly, according to James William. He added that this condition caused rhabdomyolsis.
Unfortunately, the media didn’t interview real high-qualified experts. Only so-called specialists were asked by media. That’s why the affirmations were misleading.
It is said that Mike Gimbel of a Maryland anti-steroid and anti-supplement organization doesn’t possess sufficient knowledge. He just claims that however they do not know how the supplements act in body and whether they cause any benefits, these products are quite dangerous for health.
Nevertheless, several aspects displayed that anabolic steroids were not responsible for rhabdomyolsis of the football players. These players submitted to tests for forbidden preparations and they tested negative. Moreover, a specialist has studied and shown that there was no any link between muscle damages and anabolic steroids or HGH. Richard J. Auchus, an expert on steroid metabolism at the University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas, assures that gamma-Hydroxybutyric acid is the only drug that could cause this disease. Sometimes this drug is used for anabolic effects too. This is an illicit drug. Some experts like Auchus, a consultant of the U. S. Anti-Doping Agency, believe that no any product is to be blamed for rhabdomyolsis of these football players. He assures that the muscle destruction is caused by extremely hard training to which the coaches pushed the players.
The trainer Chris Doyle will be probably condemned for rhabodomyolsis of the football players, if steroids or other supplements will be not turned to be the reasons of the disease. Who knows? Even sport in itself may be accompanied by some risks.
