Don't do it!  What will happen to your scholarship when you are tested and your so-called performance enhancer is on a list of forbidden substances???????\n\nLift weights, monitor your eating habits so you will know whether carbs or proteins need to be adjusted and practice practice practice!\n\nWhen I played high school Bball, our coach told us to stay away from birth control pills.  she would always say they make you slow and weak and bloated.\n\nof course i have never been able to find any documentation to support this.\n\nplease stay away from the performance enhancers, ok?

Stimulants\nThe use of stimulants to improve athletic performance is prevalent in both college and Olympic sports, and likely in professional sports as well.[14,26-28] In a 2001 study of 21,225 college athletes who responded to a survey, the use of amphetamines and ephedrine was reported to be 3.3% and 3.9%, respectively.[26] This is an increase in comparison with similar surveys conducted in prior years.Claims have been made that the majority of Major League Baseball (MLB) players use amphetamines or other stimulants.[29]\n\nAmphetamine-like sympathomimetics stimulate the central nervous system (CNS), as well as the cardiovascular system.[30] In addition, they increase glycogen and fatty acid metabolism. Such compounds have been shown to improve athletic performance to various degrees in strength and endurance exercises, improve reaction times, and reduce fatigue.[14,31] Amphetamine and its analogues can cause euphoria, boost confidence, and intensify aggression. Adverse effects of these compounds include tachycardia, palpitations, hypertension, nervousness, restlessness, irritability, insomnia, seizures, life-threatening arrhythmias, stroke, thermogenesis, and death.[14,15,30] Particularly problematic in this group is ephedrine, which is available in the United States and abroad, and is often found in combination allergy and cold products and in dietary supplements (see also Ephedra, below). The NCAA prohibits the use of ephedrine, and the National Football League (NFL) added ephedrine to its list of banned substances in 2001.[22,32] WADA prohibits the "in-competition" use of ephedrine.[12]\n\nCaffeine\nCaffeine has been used in sports as a stimulant, to counter drowsiness, to improve endurance, and to enhance bodybuilding workouts.[14] Caffeine stimulates the CNS to increase mental alertness and increases adrenaline release.[33-35] It also increases the hydrolysis and utilization of fats in the body for energy, while its effect on muscle glycogen has been mixed.[35] Caffeine is also believed to enhance muscular contraction. Studies have indicated that caffeine in doses of 3-13 mg/kg can potentially improve performance in endurance events, particularly for trained athletes.[33-37] Studies on the ergogenic benefit of caffeine for power and sprint events either have shown no benefitor have been inconsistent.[38] However, by increasing endurance, caffeine may enhance the efficacy of training in these events since training often consists of performing multiple repetitions.\n\nAdverse reactions to caffeine are similar to those of other stimulants and include insomnia, tremors, nervousness, restlessness, tachycardia, and palpitations.[14] Caffeine is also a diuretic, which can potentially cause electrolyte imbalances and hasten dehydration.\n\nAs of January 2004, WADA removed caffeine from its list of prohibited substances; previously caffeine was a banned substance when urinary concentrations exceeded 12 mcg/mL.[12] Caffeine is a restricted substance by the NCAA, which allows urine concentrations of 15 mg/L or less.[22] The amount of caffeine intake that would yield such concentrations can vary widely, however, a general guide is that the limits will be exceeded if about 500 mg or more of caffeine is ingested within a few hours of the drug test in an average sized, healthy man; this is equivalent to about 5 cups of regular coffee (about 100 mg/cup).[15] Athletes must be made aware of the caffeine content in prescription and over-the-counter medications, soft drinks, sport and energy drinks, herbal products, and other dietary supplements. Herbal or natural products and dietary supplements can be particularly problematic as some contain hidden sources of caffeine.[39]\n\nAnabolic-Androgenic Steroids\nAnabolic-androgenic steroids are synthetic analogues of testosterone, and as the name suggests, their actions are both anabolic (muscle building) and androgenic (masculinizing) in nature. Testosterone and anabolic-androgenic

Fanball.com is great for a lot of news and injury information. I like it a lot better than ESPN.com since they hide a lot of their content behind their pay site. CBS Sportsline columns also feature some great tips on organizing your upcoming week for head-to-head leagues. Yahoo! is good for weekly spotlight articles. My fave site for pure stats and trade analysis is basketballmonster.com
