With today's million dollar contracts, athletes will go to any length to better themselves. Unfortunately, most of them choose the easy way out. By using performance enhancing drugs, athletes will remain one leg up over the competition. That is why, mandatory drug testing should be enforced on our pro athletes in order to detect such drugs like creatine.

The amount found is too little for results that is why pro athletes use supplements to reach the 10 grams limit per day.
