I doubt Nike could be directly involved in giving teenagers drugs.
Although a large corporation involved in something unethical? Who'd think it possible.

Because the Nike Academy is basically run as a huge Nike promo. Obviously this goes a bit against the general feeling at the moment with Nike athletes being safe from IAAF sanctions (whether that's true or false, I don't know), but if it were to emerge that Nike were giving teenagers PEDs as part of what is essentially a commercial promotion - I mean, fuck. They'd be torn apart.
On an aside - the coaches would also seem, from everything I've seen and heard, to have the wellbeing of the kids as their foremost priority.
