One thing after another with the fellas in Australia; why can't you just eat healthy and train clean like the rest of us. 
"SARMS just enhances testosterone production and/or utilisation,'' Francis said. "And you throw that together with human growth hormone and you've got a pretty potent cocktail.''
The coach added that while one of the great appeals to users is that SARMS can be taken orally, he had also heard it was being administered intravenously overnight in conjunction with vitamin and protein drips.
SARMS has huge implications for the health industry because, in different forms, it offers a viable substitute for steroids in hormone replacement therapy, osteoporosis, benign prostate hypertrophy and in combating muscle wasting.
But while health authorities are restricted in their application of the yet to be approved drug, the product is already widely promoted in gyms around the world including in Australia.
The only side effect reported, extensively, by bodybuilder guinea pigs on internet forums is a change in light sensitivity. "It's like looking through yellow sunglasses at night, a high beam coming at me no longer blinds me,'' said one user.
Another said his eyes took from five to 10 minutes to adjust when he moved into or out of a brightly lit room.
Whether buyers of SARMS are getting the real thing is problematic for the user, but as Anthony Roberts of SARMSInfo.com commented: "We're seeing them in the laboratory one minute and they're hitting gyms the next. It's unreal.''
While many scientists have worked for more than a decade on devising tests to enable improved detection of Human Growth Hormone, and even allowing for the fact that competitors and coaches in several sports have been banned after confessing to using HGH or being in possession of the product, the fact is no elite athlete has been banned due to an analytical positive test for HGH.
