Not sure what it helps with but look at Silken Laumen they tried to stip her of her gold after she took Sudafed for a cold or allergies or what have you. Creatine acually helps with muscle building and to help the blood absorb more oxygen during workouts so as to not have the athlete tire as quickly or so it was explained to me anyhow.

Exactly. I use creatine to help with my workouts but I don't see why this should be a banned substance. Daily vitamins and minerals also help muscles recover, so should these be banned too?

Hey I agree they should have a standard with banned substance and creatine make the list aparently so do cold medications if they contain a certain ingredient which is seen as a performance enhancing material. I don't make the rules I just laugh at them when they try to enforce them on some and seem to let others get away with it. Like I pointed out with the mens hockey a number of the guys use stuff like that but none of the teams were stripped of thier medals yet a number of others in different events were is it fair no it is stupid in my opinion. If it stands for one athlete it should stand for all no matter what sport and no matter if they are allowed to use them in that pro sport or not so much for the level playing field mind you that went out the window when they started letting the pro's play. Don't get me wrong I love watching the pro hockey players play in the Olympics as most peopel do but it now is no longer and expo of amature athletics.
