Abstract: A new twist on an old problem. Sports supplements are hard to miss right now. In fact, never has the sports world been more enmeshed in media coverage and debate. Much of the emphasis is on male athletes, as it has been for decades. Males are clearly the largest population of users and live and play in a culture that supports use. That culture however is shifting over into the evolving but as yet undefined culture of the female athlete and cannot be ignored.
