“…The type of drugs used during the precompetition phase included drostanolone propionate, stanozolol, and clenbuterol due to their fat loss effects, and testosterone usage stopped during this phase. Although these performance enhancing drugs taken in supraphysiological dosages are effective for achieving their purpose, there have been numerous associated adverse events reported among bodybuilder users (14,17,20). Supplement usage was also high among the respondents with a median of 5 different supplements used.…”

“…Irrespective of the approach to lose fat mass any changes in training and diet should be gradual, and regular monitoring of body composition is suggested so that modifications can be made to suit individual needs. Finally, dietary supplements and pharmacological agents should be used cautiously, especially for the latter due to the increased risk of adverse health effects (14,17,20). It is advised that bodybuilders consult a medical practitioner before using dietary supplements and pharmacological agents.…”

“…Numerous studies to date have examined dietary practices and nutritional strategies of bodybuilders (3,4,18,39). In addition, there have been numerous case studies published on preparation for bodybuilding contests (7,12,28) and adverse events associated with bodybuilding practices (17,20,26). However, less research has focused on the training practices of competitive bodybuilders, especially in large cohorts.…”

Hackett, DA. Training, supplementation, and pharmacological practices of competitive male bodybuilders across training phases. J Strength Cond Res 36(4): 963–970, 2022—Bodybuilding involves the pursuit of muscularity and leanness primarily through the use of progressive resistance training in combination with other practices such as manipulation of diet and use of ergogenic aids. This study aimed to compare the training practices and ergogenic aids used by competitive male bodybuilders across training phases. An online survey was completed by 235 competitive male bodybuilders with a median age of 26.0 (interquartile range 23.0–31.3) years. Results showed that most respondents performed split-routines (85.5%), 4–7 sessions per week (95.7%), trained major muscle groups twice a week (>50%), and session duration being 60–90 minutes (55.7%). Off-season resistance training sessions mostly comprised of targeting 2–3 muscle groups (56%), 2–3 exercises per muscle group (60.4%), 3–4 sets per exercise (73.2%), 7–12 repetition maximum (RM) per set (71.6%), and 61–180 seconds recovery between sets and exercises (80.5%). At the precompetition phase (6 weeks before competition), there was a decrease in the number of muscle groups trained per session (p = 0.027) and a greater number of repetitions performed per set (p < 0.001). A significant increase in the reported aerobic exercise volume was found during precompetition (<0.001). Performance enhancing drugs were used by 53.6% of respondents who did not compete in natural bodybuilding competitions. Dietary supplements were used by 95.7% of respondents with the most common being creatine monohydrate (80.4%) and whey protein (65.8%). Findings suggest that competitive bodybuilders follow resistance training practices consistent with the broad muscular hypertrophy recommendations but a notable shift in practices occur in the weeks before competition.

“…These components accumulate most in animal viscera, such as pig liver, sheep kidney, etc. Eating meat and viscera containing those drugs will cause harm to the human body, mainly manifested as accelerated heart rate, metabolic disorders, decreased blood potassium, muscle tremors, headache, nausea, vomiting, and other symptoms 40 , 41 . In the 1990s, clenbuterol was widely used in pig breeding.…”

Food fraud is a major concern worldwide, and the majority of cases include meat adulteration or fraud. Many incidences of food fraud have been identified for meat products both in China and abroad over the last decade. We created a meat food fraud risk database compiled from 1987 pieces of information recorded by official circular information and media reports in China from 2012 to 2021. The data covered livestock, poultry, by-products, and various processed meat products. We conducted a summary analysis of meat food fraud incidents by researching fraud types, regional distribution, adulterants and categories involved, categories and sub-categories of foods, risk links and locations, etc. The findings can be used not only to analyze meat food safety situations and study the burden of food fraud but also help to promote the efficiency of detection and rapid screening, along with improving prevention and regulation of adulteration in the meat supply chain markets.

“…10 Se han registrado diversos casos de intoxicación por clembuterol documentados al consumir hígado de bovino y otros tejidos a lo largo del tiempo y en diversas partes del mundo, como en España (1988,1990) y en Francia (1990), donde 135 personas fueron afectadas. 11 En la década de 2010 a 2020, se diagnosticaron intoxicaciones en Eslovenia (2017), 12 en el Reino Unido (2020), 13 en China (2010 y 2014), 14 , 15 y en Alemania (2019), 16 , 17 los cuales están muy ligados al ambiente de los deportistas, atletas y fisicoculturistas. Cabe mencionar que se ha reportado también casos de intoxicación en alimentos populares a base de carne de bovino.…”
