cold remidies

[tr1]

Hi Kerry

Nice to meet you at warren dysons bodybuilding show In october.

The lad myself and warren are helping with his diet is boxing again 2 weeks, he has come down with a bad cold/chest infection,he has had it for the last week and seems to be getting worse.. has not been taking any cold or flu remidies just upped his vit c intake really.. he is paranoid about taking any remeides as his boxing coach has said most have a banned substance in them that would fail a test if he got tested.

Im not sure where we stand on this, is this true and if so anything you can recommend we can do to try shift the cold.

Thanks Kerry

Tony

kk - First of all sorry to dispell a myth, but there is no evidence that taking extra vitamin c will get rid of a cold.

Yes, a lot of over the counter cold remedies have substances in that would make you fail a drug test. The reality is though, your boxer will not be drug tested, only championship fights 10 round English title or 12 round British, European and World are drug tested.

There are scenarios with a doctors note, you are allowed a therapeutic use exception, so get to the doctors.
