are steroids illegal in baseball

Tucked away in Fairfield County, CT, one of the wealthiest counties in the U.S., is the man many professional athletes are calling "secret weapon". That is not his real name, of course, is Jon Doyle.

I recently caught up with Jon in New York, where he coached one of its professional customers. Jon works a little different from other coaches as he does not name many of its customers of all stars.

All have signed a strict confidentiality agreement and as Jon says "If you're only an athlete who tests positive for a drug test to his reputation is ruined. And while my boys are clean, I can not risk my reputation on something you can not control "(obviously referring to whether an athlete would be taking performance enhancing drugs back).

So while Most trainers are lying about who they train, Jon hide. I had a feeling this interview would be good!

My purpose of this meeting was to get the scoop on supplements to enhance performance and what the average athlete can do to improve your game.

PR "Jon, thanks for taking the time to meet me. Could you start by telling our readers a little about yourself? "

JD "Sure Phil, no problem. In summary, make athletes better. Although I have built my reputation in baseball, my clients are athletes of the four major sports and Olympic athletes. These athletes all call me when you absolutely need results. "

PR-So I guess the athletes to work with all subject to stringent drug testing procedures.

JD "That's correct."

PR "What is your stance on performance enhancing drugs such as steroids and human growth hormone? "

JD "Well there's no doubt that work. However, they are illegal and prohibited by most organizations. So I will not work with any athlete who is not clean. "

PR "Does this not put their athletes at a disadvantage? How do you get athletes ready to act against others who are clearly using these performance enhancers.

JD "It's certainly easy. My all athletes who wish to come to me what every athlete wants others: increasing speed, power, strength and muscle mass and decreased body fat, recovery time and the injury rate. Obviously, with performance-enhancing drugs this becomes easier, but in my mind that is not an option because it is illegal and immoral. Hence, use a combination of unique training methods, proper nutrition and supplements on the counter.

PR-O, in the counter supplements free. Now that is what came to remove dirt. What's the deal with these modes. There are about a million and a company there. It's so confusing to figure out what works and what not. And, it seems every time an athlete of the positive test that the fault in a 'contaminated supplement. What is the problem here? "

JD "Well First, if an athlete of the pawns of their drug use outside a "tainted supplement" is full of it. These guys know exactly what is happening in their bodies. They are lying.

Secondly, you're right. Choosing a supplement to the crowded shelves can be downright impossible. The big secret is that almost every company is selling the same thing!

Everything comes to marketing. Very few companies have nothing "cutting edge" as they say. Except for a small number of unique products is a real showcase.

Of course I can not say, or anyone else what supplements to use as I am not a doctor, I can give an idea of what my athletes to use. This course is for informational purposes only, okay?

PR Okay!

JD "First you start with the basics. Nothing fancy here. A multi-vitamins, omega-3 fish oils, creatine (5 grams per day is all that is needed) and some protein powder as needed.

Then it gets interesting. If you realize that getting the boxes of supplements that I sent on a daily basis to supplement companies that want the use of their products with my athletes. They know they have my support if that means big money for them in line. But I'm not for sale so you only use what has been proven to work for us and for researchers. Moreover, we know without a shadow of doubt that the product is safe and is not prohibited in any organization.

It's almost hard for me to give this away, but we've been using a combination product of a small supplement company out of Texas called USPLabs. We 'stack' of anabolic-pump, and PowerFULL SuperCissus RX products and we are caught with the drug-like effects that are giving. "

PR "Sounds good. I'll have to check that. Well, Jon I know you have to run, but I thank him to sit with me so I could gain a little in their world. "

JD "No problem. Thank you."
