Accountable in this area ....all they did was take the easy path to blame the leave athletes to the mercy of big comapnies that dont label all contents of their products ..

Issue 4: Regulation of Supplements
Given the extent of the inadvertent ‘doping’ by athletes internationally on account of tainted or mislabelled
supplements, there needs to be greater recognition of the problem in the WADC. Educational tools developed by
WADA and NADO should identify key companies and countries for which the risk of contaminated substances are
high, to expand upon the “managing the risks of nutritional supplements” mandatory item in the education section of
Article 18.2.
WADA should increase its involvement with UNESCO and the Governments to achieve greater harmonisation of
the approval process for products intended for human consumption, beyond medicinal products. WADA could lead
the way in creating a list of approved/ safe supplements or accredited supplement companies. WADA could also
develop a warning list of all supplements that have led to positives around the world and require the ADOs to inform
athletes of genuine risks in relation to particular substances. WADA’s enhanced role should include greater cooperation with professional bodies, such as medical associations, to assist with the sanctioning and education of
their members involved with the deliberate and or/ negligent doping of athletes (for example in cases where those
professionals fall outside the “Athlete Support Personnel” definition)

. At present there is an inherent contradiction between saying to athletes it is ok to take stimulants (most if not all of which are illegal) out of Competition, but if any residue is left over in an In-Competition sample then it is an ADRV. The contradiction is shown up most markedly with cannabinoids where out of competition use is accepted
yet the residue is long lasting and often triggers an In-Competition sample. Further the Out-of-Competition use of
stimulants in supplements to achieve weight loss ought not to be accepted, as making weight is a very considerable
factor in many sports.
