Episode 75 - Can my supplement really cause a positive doping test? | Kerry O'Bryan

Fueling Endurance - Nutrition for Runners, Cyclists & Triathletes

Supplements contaminated with banned substances are an athlete's worst nightmare. In this episode we’ll understand how much risk there actually is of testing positive from nutrition supplement use. And if you’re not an elite athlete and don’t think this is relevant to you - think again. We’ll hear how this applies to ALL athletes competing in organised sport, no matter what level, and how to minimise the risk of a positive test coming back to haunt you.
