Connections between hard trainings and rhabdomyolsis

More than 10 players of the Iowa Hawkeyes football team were taken in hospital because of  rhabdomyolsis. This is an illness related to prompt destruction of skeletal muscle that results in leakage into urine myoglobin, a muscle protein. Individuals that have this disease suffer from serious muscle aches, weakness and soreness. Since byproducts of the muscle destruction become toxic to the kidneys, there is an increased risk of kidney failure in this case.
Experts started immediately to demonize nephrotoxic supplements or anabolic steroids in occurring of rhabdomyolsis in players of the Hawkeyes but there was no any  relation between these medicines and this disease in them. The doctor James Williams told to CBS during an interview that nephrotoxic supplements were responsible for the disease 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 cases, they are turned to be toxic to kidneys directly, according to James William. He added that this condition led to rhabdomyolsis.
Unluckily, the media didn’t interview real high-qualified specialists. Only so-called experts were asked by media. That’s why the affirmations were misleading.
It is suggested that Mike Gimbel of a Maryland anti-steroid and anti-supplement organization doesn’t have required knowledge. He just claims that although they do not know how the supplements act in body and whether they lead to any positive effects, these medications are quite dangerous for health.
Nevertheless, several facts displayed that anabolic steroids were not responsible for rhabdomyolsis of the football players. They submitted to tests for forbidden preparations and they tested negative. Moreover, an expert has studied and displayed that there was no any link between muscle damages and anabolic steroids or HGH. Richard J. Auchus, a specialist on steroid metabolism at the University of Texas Southwestern in Dallas, claims that gamma-Hydroxybutyric acid is the only preparation that could cause this condition. Sometimes this medication is taken for anabolic effects too. It is an illicit medication. Certain experts like Auchus, a consultant of the U. S. Anti-Doping Agency, confirm that no any medication is to be blamed for this condition of the players. He assures that the muscle disorder is caused by extremely hard training to which the coaches pushed the athletes.
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 is associated with certain risks.
