Legal performance enhancers for athletes.
Are you looking to improve your athletic performance, without taking banned or illegal substances?
These days many athletes – even amateur and recreational ones – take performance enhancing drugs such as testosterone, anabolic steroids and human growth hormone.
Whether this is right or wrong is a discussion for another time, but what is obvious is that many ‘users’ are utilising performance enhancers before they have reached anywhere near their full ‘natural’ potential.
