Although the article focuses on amateur athletes, i doubt it hasn't hit the pros yet in some way.

Not the first article I've read preaching good Testomonies/anecdotes on ozempic and the like either

I'm still wary about major side effects but rarely do I hear of them... maybe deep down inside I want there to be some because i simply cant believe a drug is this revolutionary

The majority of studies on the long term side effects have so far been with diabetic patients who tend to have better maintained diets. It’ll probably work even better with athletes who have good diets and all that exercise.

The anecdotal reports coming from some sources like plastic surgeons (they specifically were talking about skin and muscle elasticity) may signal some discovery coming down the pipeline for the average person who takes Ozempiv without improving their diet to account for the protein deficit.
