The constant exposure to specific body types on social media can put pressure on young people to look a certain way. Influencers might try to sell you a substance that they claim will bring you quick results with little or no side effects.
Social media is not science. Remember, these influencers are making money to build their own clout. They’re putting you at risk. Don’t swallow the lies. True success is built, not bought. #CleanSportWeek

True results are built, not bought. SARMs (Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators) are prohibited in sport – they are often falsely marketed as ‘safer alternatives to anabolic steroids’, but they are dangerous, unregulated and not approved for human consumption. Don’t swallow the lies. You risk ruining your career and health. #CleanSportWeek
