    In drug-tested sport, the athlete is responsible for anything found in their sample, whether it came from a contaminated product or not. Supplements are a known route to inadvertent positive tests.

    What reduces the risk:

    • Use only what you actually need; every extra product is extra risk
    • Choose batch-tested products from third-party schemes such as Informed Sport, NSF Certified for Sport or the Cologne List
    • Be most careful with pre-workouts, “fat burners”, muscle builders and products bought from unknown online sellers
    • Keep receipts, batch numbers and a sample of what you take

    Testing lowers the risk but cannot remove it entirely.

    Background: anti-doping science.

    Do you check whether your supplements are batch-tested before buying?
