For all you sports fans, don't think for a NY minute that you are told about all the injections pro athletes are given!

I have and still do work with pro/college athletes and 90% of the medicine is NOT REPORTED nor does it need to be. Ever hear of the HIPPA rules of medical privacy which protects the medical information of all of us, just not athletes? There is nothing in the NFL, MLB, NHL or NBA or NCAA which mandates when a player receives medication that it be reported to the media or the public.

If an athlete him/herself wants to give out that info, they can, but teams ARE NOT ALLOWED to disclosed medical info except their playing status!

And you guys are talking about the many injections they take. How about all the other meds that we legally dispense to them orally and through physical modality machines such as phono and iontophoresis?

If you only knew.....why do you think it's ILLEGAL for us in the pro/college field to bet on games????? even in Vegas?

What's next? your gonna want to know if and what jockey injuries are and if they are on medication??? This stuff will NEVER END!!!
