Darryn Peterson reveals taking a high dosage of creatine led to his cramping issues at Kansas and he was taken to the hospital by ambulance in September because he thought he was going to die, per @ramonashelburne

"I made it to the training room and just started begging them to call 911. They were trying to get a vein to get me the IV, get me back hydrated. But I was cramping so hard they couldn't get a vein. I thought I was going to die on the training table that day."

There have been numerous studies when it comes to creatine and potential side effects. Not a single one provides any evidence for cramps as a potential issue. Unless he wasn't drinking enough and that would have been a problem with or without the use of creatine.

We would have to assume that he took a dose that is higher than anything that has ever been tested in a medical environment to cause unknown side effects. Or simply come to the conclusion that he is lying. Either way not a good look for him.

Personally I think he is lying. There are other performance enhancing drugs that can cause electrolyte imbalance and dehydration. And I am pretty sure that most D1 programs are turning a blind eye (encouraging) on the use of them. NCAA drug testing program is a complete joke and everyone knows it.
