Dietary Supplements are not well regulated and may cause a positive drug test, there is not
a complete list of banned substances as the market is ever changing.
Studies have found 12-25% of Dietary Supplements contain unlisted steroids, stimulants or
trace metals(www.drugfreesport.com)
Many dietary supplements are contaminated with banned drugs not listed on the label
Any product containing a dietary supplement ingredient is taken at the risk of the studentathlete
