I don't know context in which Coach Connolly prohibited use of all supplements including Gatorade for his high school students.</p><p>The local newspaper article clearly attributed the rationale behind Connolly's decision to prohibit Gatorade as based on "fear that using most common and casual substances will encourage his players to use more volatile and potentially harmful drugs."</p><p>If this is not the appropriate context under which Gatorade was not allowed, please clarify.</p><p>I completely understand how the best intentions by individuals can be taken out of context by journalists with a story to write.</p>Millard BakerThu, 30 Jul 2009 14:06:15 -0000http://steroidreport.com/2008/02/25/gatorade-a-gateway-to-anabolic-steroid-use-in-high-school-athletes/#comment-13662410<p>This is foolish... the quote given by Coach Connolly was taken out of context. It was from an article in a local newspaper... I coach with Mr. Connolly, I am in attendance at all meetings and the things he says to our players is something that is educational and appropriate for them. You have no idea the history of our players nor do you have any idea what issues have been dealt with in the past. You may know Coach Connolly's name but you have no idea who he is!</p>brianwilcoxThu, 30 Jul 2009 11:41:43 -0000http://steroidreport.com/2008/02/25/gatorade-a-gateway-to-anabolic-steroid-use-in-high-school-athletes/#comment-2152094<p>Gatorade is to steroids what V-8 juice is to crack.</p>IntelThu, 28 Aug 2008 11:58:32 -0000http://steroidreport.com/2008/02/25/gatorade-a-gateway-to-anabolic-steroid-use-in-high-school-athletes/#comment-2152093<p>this is a bad things for high school students to use</p>BrandonFri, 14 Mar 2008 09:57:09 -0000http://steroidreport.com/2008/02/25/gatorade-a-gateway-to-anabolic-steroid-use-in-high-school-athletes/#comment-2152092<p>Banning gatorade is taking things a little too far. By the same token, a surefire way to discourage people from supplements/steroids would be to discourage them from sport in the first place, an equally ridiculous proposition.</p>fitfiendMon, 25 Feb 2008 14:43:55 -0000
