Arno Creatine Botha injured again

I am not a doctor, but surely this guy has gone over board in the gym and eaten to much creatine. 
His knees cant hold his weight- so he just gets injured as he walks onto the park.

I am not sure about that creatine story.  While listening to a programme on team selection they indicated what level of fitness is required from players in each position in the team.   
The joke was then made that school boys entering gym work and goes on special diets turning them into "giants"  by the  time they reach matric.  I think that may be the problem - the youngsters are over-developed by the time they leave schools and some elements in their bodies did not develop concurrently.
They may have been on growth hormone treatment for years and that would add to the problem.    
In any event - the problem then is that players are rushed into teams while critical components of their bodies have not developed in full.   The problem can and does in most cases  vanish when they are circa 22-23  years of age - but before that age injuries can be a major problem.
   

Read Stephanie....read Thomas.  

Arno is only out for 4 weeks, no big deal......knee strain  

 Another "young gun" who has  not completed a season of senior rugby without being injured. PSDT, Goosen, Lambie, Loodvoet, Reinach, Taute (who I see has now been moved to 12), ........................

Very stupid argument Cera!!! What about old guns that also did not see out the season?? Du Preeez, Matfield, De Villiers, "Vermeulen", Pietersen, J Fourie etc etc Rugby players get injured, no matter what their age.

I would rather have a player who gets injured because he is constantly active and  performs well then a loafer who does near to nothing and thus avoid injury in the team. Alberts, who is injury prone despite non-productivity and Matfield springs to mind. 

 @Bluebok. The "older" players did not break down every other week when the were the same age as some of these glass dolls. Take note that I have not said that this goes for all the younger players. It is mostly the hyped wonder kids who are pushed because "they are ready". I have always maintained that many of these youngsters are hyped up too soon. 
I don't care how much potential a player has. It is of no use if you try to get too much out of them too soon. 

 
Creatine increases one's strength and endurance but nothing like steroids.

No way I'd point my finger to it as being responsible for his injuries.

This lad's been on some seriously hardcore "supplements" and this is the result of it.

Nothing special about him anyway.

 
 

 The less the older players does on the field of play - the less are the chances that they will get injured.   However, the problem is that skunkhead does not realize that older players are more subject to injuries and take longer to recover.
Matfield strained his hamstring with the deficient muscles it comprises and will not play rugby for near to two months.  How did he strain it?  By trying to make a weak tackle.
I think that it is not really wise to take note of the garbage the skunkhead dofdoos writes on this site.   Seuntjies is as dump as he is - so what can they come up with?  Stick to non-performing players provided they have been in the 2007 EC.  Players they dislike are "seuntjies" to be maligned endlessly by the empty headed dunces. .
