Supplements

The story below on Methylhexaneamine further reinforces my belief that athletes SHOULD NOT TAKE ANY SUPPLEMENTS its just not worth the risk to an athletes career and reputation.

If you want to risk taking supplements then at least stop taking them 7 days out from a competition

"It (methylhexaneamine) is still available in a number of supplements that are on sale out there,'' said Paul Dillon, owner of Drug and Alcohol Research and Training Australia (DARTA).

Even if you may have passed the test with that supplement in the past who knows if the current batch you are taking has been contaminated when manufactured.

ASADA's Advice

The contents of supplements can vary from batch to batch and may intentionally or unintentionally contain prohibited substances. Athletes who take supplements are, therefore, at risk of committing an inadvertent anti-doping rule violation.

There have been cases where both Australian and international athletes have been sanctioned after they have used supplements that they thought were okay, but which were actually contaminated with prohibited substances.

The presence of a prohibited substance may result in an anti-doping rule violation, whether its use was intentional or unintentional.

Methylhexaneamine Info

Australian athletes are being warned by the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority to carefully consider their use of supplements following nine positive Australian test results for the prohibited stimulant methylhexaneamine.

There has been increasing evidence that methylhexaneamine is present in supplements and other products and this spike in positive test results is a timely reminder to the sporting community to exercise the utmost caution in checking the contents of supplements and other products that athletes use.

Athletes need to be aware that, under the policy of strict liability, they are responsible for any substance found in their body. Athletes using supplements do so at their own risk and, because of supplement manufacturing processes can lead to their contents varying from batch to batch, ASADA cannot advise if supplements contain prohibited substances.

Further important information on methylhexaneamine and supplements can be found on the ASADA website – www.asada.gov.au – or by calling the ASADA Hotline on 13 000 ASADA (13 000 27232).
