On May 1st, 2009 Condition Nutrition was shocked when the FDA recalled 14 types of Hydroycut products due to the death of a 19 year-old male and 23 reports of liver damage. Similarly to the ban of Ephedra in 2004, the FDA singled out a product that has sold 9 million bottles in 2008 alone. Results will most likely make diet products even more dangerous in the future. Condition Nutrition will be posting a poll to get your opinion on whether the FDA unfairly targets diets products and supplements.

Sources show widespread doping in extreme sports, particularly amongst Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) athletes. Unlike other sports, Mixed Martial Arts is not regulated by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). Doping in extreme sports is a highly debatable topic that is rarely addressed. Condition Nutrition would like to announce that we will be posting a survey on April 20, 2009, so individuals can weigh in and post their opinion on doping in Extreme Sports. Numerous Condition Nutrition customers are active Extreme Sports athletes and doping along with pro-hormone use are two of the most common comments.

According to NutraLegacy.com, 91.7% of their MMA respondents admitted to doping and using other performance enhancing drugs. 79.3% of these MMA athletes specifically have used steroids to increase muscle mass and size. These respondents represented approximately 66% of the surveyed population which in total numbered 312 individuals. Other extreme sports athletes included skateboarders, BMX athletes and even extreme skiing. These other athletes were less likely to use steroids and other performance enhancing drugs. Skateboarders represented 16% of the respondents and 18.4% of skateboarders admitted to performance drug us.

Professional athletes taking performance enhancing drugs, or “doping,” is a story that has become almost cliche in our society. From baseball players to cyclists it seems that almost every sport has athletes that ultimately get exposed for doping. While these cases are far from rare, most sports abide by the international code set forth by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). This code dictates clear regulations regarding the use of any performance enhancing drug in worldwide professional sports. Condition Nutrition has consulted several extreme athletes and we were surprised to learn how pervasive performance enhancing drugs are in extreme sports. According to numerous sources, such as the one cited above, extreme sports, such as Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), not only defy the WADA code, but operate independently from it. When 91.7% of surveyed MMA athletes admit to use of performance enhancing drugs one has to wonder how this level of use is tolerated.

Doping in Extreme sports is a controversial issue that is rarely discussed or debated in relation to other worldwide sports. Outside of health and safety, equality and fairness are the issues that seem to get the most attention. While there are some extreme athletes who avoid performance drugs, it becomes increasingly more difficult when your competition has a competitive advantage. One active MMA athlete explained that “in order to compete and win, doping is becomes a must.” “They should either make it legal in extreme sports or seriously regulate it.” NutraLegacy.com states that of the 312 respondents 162 people added comments suggesting that performance enhancing drugs should be legalized. It is this sentiment that leads many to argue that it should be legalized in particular sports, especially if they are not enforced by WADA as it is.

If enforcing the WADA code becomes more of a problem than a solution, is it even worth enforcing? Some argue that an individual who is willing to participate in extreme sports is inherently risking their health and safety. This is a decision made by an athlete before they decide whether they are willing to compete professionally in any extreme sport. On the other hand, just because these sports can be dangerous doesnt necessarily justify the need for performance enhancing drugs. Instead, many athletes opt to use various sports nutrition products that provide real benefits without the risk involved in drugs. Health supplements can help athletes achieve their goals whether it is increased muscle mass, energy or general health. Mr. Sochet believes that “the popularity of Extreme Sports today makes this survey and debate even more popular.” This survey is part of Condition Nutrition’s overall strategy to increase their media presence and “become a major source of information for the fitness community.”
