Strapping

[Skeeter]

I'm seeing more and more of the stick on strapping stuff on athletes in lots of sports. I assume its to support muscles with minor injuries and things. However, having seen a similar type of technology in the full body swim suits banned, is it likely we might see restrictions on this strapping stuff too?

If it can benefit an injured muscle, can it improve a fit one?

I assume if they had found that it provided benefits it would already be banned.

it works for me and other athletes, also if the elites are using it there must be some competitive advantage

Obviously, but the evidence does seem to suggest its a psychological one, rather than a physical one.
