U.S. Athletes Must Guess on Supplements

Date: January 30, 2002
Author: Selena Roberts
QUOTE: contradictory and, to some critics, hypocritical messages American Olympic officials send their athletes. While leaders of the United States Anti-Doping Agency have bluntly told the athletes, ''Do not take a vitamin and put it in your mouth, period,'' some critics believe the United States Olympic Committee and the Salt Lake Organizing Committee have undermined that message by granting sponsorships to companies that market supplements.

ABSTRACT: <p>ABSTRACT: Describes the competitive pressures on athletes to try new (not yet banned!) supplements, and on the Olympic Committee... and a financial interest for supplement manufacturers to put in banned substances in the hope the adulteration won't be detected.</p>
