many athletes have failed drug tests due to this as the supplement industry may be using contaminated resources in their production because they are not legally bound to have a high level of production values.
So the advice from UKsport and WADA is dont use supplements

Alistair, thanks for the feedback. I saw the information on the USADA website and we did some research before the manufacturer sent it. It is supposed to be negatively tested for trace nadrolone and none of the ingredients are on the banned list. I have been told it wasn't one of the 16% of supplements that had an issue. HOWEVER your warning is being taken seriously. I noted that even HFL's tests only cover the portion tested and will not even cover the remaining contents of a box It is interesting to note that lucozade Sport, Recovery, Hydro, energy etc all come with a similar warning. I know a few archers who use the powders bought off the shelf in Asda and Tesco so I guess it must apply to those as well.
