Banned Substances in Sports...Need Help

[Anthony Karperis]

Hey, I'm expecting to fight in the golden gloves, and I'm taking a variety of supplements. I wanted to know anyone knew what substances were banned in boxing. I'm taking Hydroxycut, Animal Cuts, CLA, and L-Carnitine. I have the physicals coming up soon so I need to to know. I also take whey protein but i know thats not banned. If you guys have any experience or know of a site that would tell me thatd be great.

Thanks

I don't have a link right off hand but I *think* they use the same banned substance list as the Olympics. You may be able to Google that.

You need to refine your Google skills. Luckily, I'm a nice guy and I was curious myself so here you go...

I wouldn't take anything that's listed on any of these lists...

Go here and you'll see 2008 Prohibited List on the right hand side

If you are still in doubt, you can contact one of the websites above... or just stop taking what ever you're in doubt about (that's what I would do).

Is there a reason you can't just call the office of the federation or organization you're fighting in and get a definite answer? It's not like you can hide or anything. If you took something that is banned it's too late at this point anyway, so just pick up the phone and call.
