Most kids on my son's teams drink creatine shakes until it starts coming out their ears. We told our son whey powder in chocolate milk, which he did for a while but stopped because he is big for his age and came to realize it wasn't going to do much for him. Kids will do anything though. If a kid was faced with a decision to take steroids to make into a college prospect lacrosse player, given the irrational nature of the sport I would not be shocked if a lot of kids did it. Sad.

My new year wish is in agreement with a prior poster...I hope more rationality can enter the sport in 2015 and that kids can also get more enjoyment out of it without the sole focus of recruiting when they get to be 13.
