THE CREATINE STORY
Produced by Chris Bullock
---------------------------------------------------------
ON-AIR PROMO:
The eternal human quest to be the best, the strongest, biggest, fastest.
The heroism of pushing one's body beyond ordinary limits. It's mental,
physical - and getting the right spikes on your running shoes.
And nutrition. In the 90's, the equivalent of 10 kilos of raw steak a day
came as a legal powder - a wonder supplement.
Now they're working on one to bulk up the kids, too.
Background Briefing, Sunday morning after the news at 9.
---------------------------
PRODUCER's SUPPLEMENT:
The race is on to develop legal performance enhancers which give athletes a
winning edge.
Creatine is the wonder supplement on the '90's and it's legal and readily
available. Yet scientists are still wondering what effect it's going to
have on bodies in the long run. Even as many athletes are moving away from
creatine use, an Australian company is developing a 'creatine for kids'.
Science has never played a bigger part in sports. Will it now create
future athletes?
