(Medical-NewsWire.com, September 04, 2012 ) Jindalee, QLD -- With the news of Lance Armstrong’s loss of his seven Tour de France titles and a lifetime ban from professional cycling due to doping allegations, the world’s attention is focused not only on the legendary cyclist and his career, but also on the role performance-enhancing substances and supplements can play in the life of an athlete.
The 41 year-old cancer survivor was charged with allegations that during his record-breaking cycling career he used EPO, blood transfusions, testosterone, cortisone, and Human Growth Hormone, which is against international drug rules, sanctioned by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency.
In addition to winning seven Tour de France titles, Armstrong also won a bronze medal at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
“It’s very troubling to see these allegations come to light,” said Sarah Beaumont, of HealthWellnessBlog.com. “A lot of people might not even know what some of these performance-enhancing drugs are, or what their effects are. There are also a lot of supplements that are approved for sale by the FDA one week, and then banned the next. It can be a very confusing thing to wade through what supplements on the market are harmful and which are beneficial.”
HealthWellnessBlog.com offers unbiased reviews on a variety of health topics, from weight loss and weight management, to reviews of supplements, along with up-to-the minute coverage on what’s going on in the world of medical news.
“We’ve seen a big rise in people using supplements, much like Lance Armstrong, and sometimes they may know the risks, and other times they may be totally unaware of the risks they’re taking by putting these substances into their body,” said Beaumont. “That’s why it’s important, in our opinion, to offer information that is going to help visitors to our site make an informed decision. Although it’s tragic, at least the Lance Armstrong case is bringing attention to the issue of performance enhancing drugs; there are some out there that are all-natural, as they claim, and they can have great results, but there’s a lot of others that are not only illegal but also dangerous.”
“We even see people who buy drugs just to burn fat, from internet sites, and they may have no idea that what they’re buying is both deadly and illegal,” said Beaumont. “There has to be sites like ours, to keep people informed, with all of the options that are on the market, otherwise the results can be disastrous.”
