Read the actual Dr Peter Larkin Part who was at the conference
3AW's doctor Peter Larkins was among the more than 200 medical experts shown the report but sworn to secrecy in grand final week.
He said the results are cause for concern.
“It showed that 10 per cent of all AFL players were using a supplement, that nearly four per cent of all AFL players were using more than one supplement,” he said.
“And that more than two per cent of the 15 clubs had players who were using supplements that were considered ‘risky or potential health risks’.”
The document, posted on the AFL's website, also reveals players from nine clubs admitted sourcing supplements privately.
The league has found those involved ran programs with medium or high levels of use.
Peter was sworn to secrecy but told his employer everything. Not sure why all the secrecy if report is on the afl website.
10 percent of AFL players take supplements and 4 percent (34 EFC players we know were involved in the injection program would be around 5% of players) are using 2 supplements. I would be shocked if 90 of players weren't taking protein and fish oil let alone the dodgy things a smaller percentage would be taking
2percent of the 15 clubs had players using risky supplements. So is that 0.3 clubs ( let's just say that is Easendon). Or do they mean that there are more than13 players using risky supplement?
What the article doesn't tell us is how many of the risky users are like Saad and how many are injecting substance that aren't approved for human use.
This is a poorly written article full of vague stats that gives little clarity on the use of supplements and the type of use/ programs
