A study by the Human Performance Laboratory at Ball State University seems to indicate that taking ibuprofen (Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol)for regular weight lifters increases muscle mass and strength, when compared to a control group.
Is this to be the new doping scandal in professional sports, or perhaps the upcoming Olympics?
See more about the study at Scientific American.

interesting...so, what are athletes to take for pain? will they have to answer questions like "did you take advil to bulk you up, or because you had a sore muscle?"
