    Athlete Advisory: Growing Evidence that Ostarine is a Risk for Athletes | USADA

    • Positive tests involving ostarine have increased steadily in recent years, with WADA reporting more than 100 ostarine positives between 2015 and 2017.
    • Since 2014, USADA has announced 39 cases involving the use or possession of ostarine.
    • There are currently 72 products on the High Risk Listthat contain ostarine. In 19 products, ostarine is not declared on the label. In many cases, there are no red flags or other indications that the product poses an anti-doping risk as the products list only vitamins, minerals, amino acids, or herbal ingredients.

    Been reading a lot the past couple days.


    Lewan could be telling the truth. The only way we would know for sure is if we got the test results and found out how much ostarine was in the sample.

    That's not saying he isnt just playing PR but there have been multiple examples of the same thing happening in other sports.


    Tainted supplements is a real thing.

    Unless your board certified neurologist told you to ingest it, it's bogus. Really.

    Outside of the US the suspension is 2 years for the first offense and miraculously thousands of athletes avoid “tainted” supplements.
    Whenever a football player gets busted for PEDs he blames tainted supplements. Been that way for years. So assuming they’re telling the truth, then you have to be a special level of dumb to not stick to the supplements that have been tested and approved by the NFL and NFLPA (or USADA, WADA or similar).

    You’re misunderstanding the role of PEDs in sports. PEDs are not used to turn the average joe into a superstar. In sports a 1% increase in strength, speed, duration, etc is a big benefit, so using PEDs to quickly gain 5-10% extra is huge.

    If this was the same supplement that Clemson used, why would you use it?

    I don’t think he said same supplement, but it was the same drug they got in trouble for.

    They had the same excuse tho, tainted supplements

    Could be wrong lol
