“There was about 10, 15 years ago when a number of dietary supplements that included things like epinephrin which is a stimulant, it's a beta adrenergic stimulant, drugs like Clenbuterol, which were then banned from the Olympics, which are still out there have been in recreational use which were beta adrenergic agonist so these are drugs that sort of mimic epinephrin adrenaline to some extent, I know I'm oversimplifying this here. They improve flat loss because of the effects on metabolism but they heat up the body. And what happened was, this hit the press very widely is high school football players and various professional athletes were dropping dead because they were overheating during practice or in competition.”
