The last couple days I have been trying to get a straight answer from someone on whether Creatine Monohydrate is a legal substance in the NCAA, and no one can tell me for sure. I asked my trainer at school and she said that it was not legal but then said she wasn’t for sure. A bunch of the guys on the team said that they thought it was banned as well. However no one was for sure, and then I just looked at the NCAA Banned Substance List on the website, and it’s not in there.

That should clarify it for me, but I was wondering why everyone else told me they thought it was illegal because they had to have heard it somewhere to have thought that. I would appreciate it if the answers were just answers to my questions. I know that there are people that don’t believe in creatine and others that swear by it. I took it this summer and it really helped. So if you could answer my question that would be great, but please leave your personal opinions on creatine out. Thanks.
