While the sport supplement market might be thriving, the use of supplements can destroy an athlete’s career. 

Supplement manufacturers often use omissions or alternative names to lure buyers in and create the illusion of a clean substance. When in fact many contain substances that are prohibited in sport. 

A recent research collaboration between Sport Integrity Australia and Human and Supplement Testing Australia (HASTA) found that of 200 supplement products tested, 35 per cent contained one or more WADA Prohibited Substances. 

In addition to this, 57 per cent of the products that tested positive did not list the prohibited ingredients on their packaging or website. 

In this episode our host Tim Gavel speaks to a panel of guests about the research results, risks around use of supplements and how this can lead to unintentional doping.
