[SIZE=-1]Athletes should move with caution when using supplements, advised NFL vice president Adolpho Birch III, whose league updates a list of approved substances and has a hotline for players with questions.
It is impossible, given the state of the industry, to be definitive as to whether a product should or should not be taken, Birch said. The excuse given (for a positive drug test) is irrelevant. Players have always been responsible for what is in their bodies.
Major League Baseball executive vice president Robert Manfred Jr. added, Even if you are walking into a reputable nutrition store, you are proceeding at your own risk. Thats an unacceptable regulatory environment.
Tygart wants people to write to Congress at http://www.supplementsafetynow.com (Supplement Safety Now), insisting the top concern is the migration from underground, clandestine labs like BALCO to mainstream marketing. Even the most informed and cautious consumer cannot have confidence in their choice when deciding to select supplements for their health.
