Scene: Indoor gym. Athlete stretches after practice.
Coach: Hey! How did the training go today, Sarah?
Sarah: Not great. I’m just feeling a lot of fatigue lately.
Coach: Soreness?
Sarah: No, just lack of energy overall.
Coach reaches into her bag.
Coach: Here—these should help with the fatigue. It’s all natural.
(Buzzer sounds)
Voice-Over: Did you know that natural doesn’t necessarily mean safe?
Coach: Just take one each day for the rest of the week and drink plenty of water.
Sarah: Okay. Thanks, coach.
Voice-Over: Did you check though? Remember, that even if someone else gives an athlete a prohibited substance without their knowledge, the athlete is ultimately responsible for what goes on and in their body. Visit GlobalDRO.com
