Most medical reports are very enthusiastic about creatines usage. Most importantly, no dangerous side-effects have been found by the doctors in very carefully controlled medical situations. The recent wrestling deaths have now been reviewed by the Center For Disease Control who found that the deaths were related to severe dehydration practices and high temperatures associated with the dehydration and use of plastics to further raise body temperatures. Creatine was not implicated in these deaths. My own best information is that only one of the three wrestlers ever took creatine and he had stopped taking creatine several weeks before he died.
Wrestlers continue to be very enthusiastic about the use of creatine.
All serious wrestlers should be very familiar with creatine and know exactly how to use it to enhance his wrestling performance. In my opinion, creatine is a very exciting substance that will increasingly be used by most athletes including wrestlers.
