  • Gycergrow and the NCAA

    Yea yea, I get that GG is banned via the NCAA because it's a diuretic, but what I want to know is WHY the NCAA hates on diuretics? What's the deal with that? What does a diuretic do that makes an athlete so much more a threat?

    Passout? You have to figure these guys are not getting that much water in when they are working off there ass, so its just a way for them to cover there butts.

      NCAA has the same drug restrictions no matter what the sport, so you have to keep in mind that some sports have weight restrictions (mainly wrestling but also I know crew has limits and possibly others?? not sure) Think of a wrestler who uses a diuretic to drop his water weight below a normal level, it gives him an added advantage over somebody who may not use such a tool.

      Dehydration does become a concern but I'm going to assume the first reason was the more central focus of why they are banned.

        all diuretics are banned by both the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) because of their use as urinary masking agents to hide doping agents like anabolic steroids (10).
        The problem isn't with glycerol itself, but with the previous (flip-flopping) classification of glycerol as a diuretic, or diuretic related compound over the years. Our warning is there to give a "heads up" to athletes so that they can clear it with their own organization if needed.

          Oooh, thanks PU, so it's a steroid related issue. OK, that at least clears up my question.
