ASADA Warning: Methylhexaneamine
Wednesday, 27 October, 2010 07:07 amAustralian athletes are being warned by the Australian Sports Anti-Doping
Authority to carefully consider their use of supplements following nine
positive Australian test results for the prohibited stimulant
methylhexaneamine.
There has been increasing evidence that methylhexaneamine is present in
supplements and other products and this spike in positive test results is a
timely reminder to the sporting community to exercise the utmost caution in
checking the contents of supplements and other products that athletes use.
Athletes need to be aware that, under the policy of strict liability, they
are responsible for any substance found in their body. Athletes using
supplements do so at their own risk and, because of supplement manufacturing
processes can lead to their contents varying from batch to batch, ASADA
cannot advise if supplements contain prohibited substances.
Further important information on methylhexaneamine and supplements can be
found on the ASADA website - www.asada.gov.au - or by calling the ASADA
Hotline on 13 000 ASADA (13 000 27232).
