ConsumerLab.com's "Athletic Banned Substances Screening Program"Review Date: January, 2002
ConsumerLab.com "Athletic Banned Substances Screening Program"
About the Screening Program:
ConsumerLab.com offers the Athletic Banned Substances Screening Program to test dietary supplements, performance enhancement products, and other nutrition products for substances that could cause disqualification of athletes from Olympic and other competition. It is the first comprehensive program to focus on supplements, as opposed to the downstream testing of body fluids from athletes. The ConsumerLab.com screening program includes testing for banned substances, including stimulants, narcotics, anabolic agents, diuretics, masking agents, and beta-blockers based on the Olympic Movement Anti-Doping Code.
This Screening Program is offered as an adjunct to ConsumerLab.com's Product Review testing, in which products are evaluated on other important quality parameters such as labeling, ingredient identity and quantity, proper disintegration time, spoilage, contamination with heavy metals, pesticides, industrial by-products, and spiking with pharmaceutical ingredients.
ConsumerLab.com welcomes manufacturers, sports associations, and others to participate in the Screening Program, for which there is a testing fee. Parties interested in purchasing comprehensive Product Review Technical Reports, licensing content, or requesting testing of products may contact Lisa Sabin, Vice President for Business Development, at lisa.sabin@consumerlab.com.
