The long term effect of creatine has never been studied. However, creatine has been used in the past and without incident. Athletes in the 1940s and 1950s used it until steroids became available. They switched to steroids because they got results much faster. The Eskimos ingest up to four grams of creatine per day through their high consumption of meat and fish, twice that of Americans, and, have not had any documented ill effects.<br>How much time is considered long term? Is it 5 years, 10 years, or 50 years? The FDA has been studying creatine since it exploded onto the sports scene in 1992. Dr. Mike Stone from Appalachian State University, a leader in the field of Muscle Physiology, has been studying athletes who have been taking creatine for as long as six years. To date, there are no reports of kidney, heart or liver problems.<br>Since there is no documented evidence that creatine is a health hazard, the benefits of accelerated muscle development using creatine, far outweigh at least one alternative - using anabolic steroids. For those concerned about sending the wrong message to young adults, consider this; it is a great service to young people to let them know there is a viable alternative to using anabolic steroids.<br><br>_______________________________________<br><br>Creatine en't been aware of any athletes on steroids. I certainly would not even consider them. People I know just take the legal stuff. <br>Brandon also has some strong feelings on drugs, alcohol and tobacco.  I have no tolerance period on drugs. I just don't understand the people who take them. They are illegal for a reason. I don't like being around people who do drugs. In fact, no one has ever asked me to do drugs. Everyone knows my position.<br> I never drank in high school. I don't like drinking. There are too many things that can go wrong. I will never let anyone get behind a wheel that's been drinking. I don't smoke or chew. I tried to chew once and it made me sick. I don't see how you could ever smoke and play sports. <br>Brandon was selected to represent the team on a 15-player Leadership Committee.  We serve as a liaison between players and coaches, said Brandon.  If there are concerns, we bring it to the coaches. An example might be things like uniform changes. However, we would also confront a player who might be involved in any negative type things. Although we have never had to do that. <br>Brandon is getting his degree in business and plans to graduate.  If pro football does not work out or when that's over, I'd love to be a pro wrestler, laughed Brandon seriously.<br>Brandon believes working hard applies to all aspects of your life. Concentrate also on your grades. My dad always had me work hard in class. I've seen a lot of guys with talent sit home because they didn't have the grades.<br> I believe you should put God first. I'm from a Christian religion and that is very important to me. My father passed away not too long ago. I think some people take their family for granted. You need to cherish every moment. I believe that honesty and loyalty are everything.<br> My dad always told me things happen for a reason and to have faith. God has a plan for everyone so I am cr>Tag's plan for the upcoming season is to take away pressur o himself to hit so may home runs.  But I will prepare even harder, says Tag.  The goal is what can I do every inning of evh03 1;;help my team in. Last year my team went 22-33-1 and that did not sit well with me. Winning for te team is what's most important. <br>Inside Tag's hat and batting helmet he always writes,  You are prepared. <br> You get out of something what youpu into it, says Tag.  Success comes through peparation. Don't wait just to let something great hppen. Prepar to mae it happen <br>Tag never had a drop of alcohol in high school and, of couse, the same was true with drugs.  My mom would kill me, says Tag,  if I chewed, so I never have! In college it has been the same story. I have not even had a soda in over 8 years. My drink of choice is water and orange juice. <br>Tag will be draft eligible afterthis next season, his junior year. The draft will take place next June. He doesn't even think about it.  My goal, says Tag,  is to prepare and help the team win. Then whatever happens, happens. <br>With young men like Tag, our nation will survive and become even greater. What an inspiration! We will use a lot of Tag's methods in our B
