USADA DIETARY SUPPLEMENT WARNING Many dietary supplements (vitamins, minerals, amino acids, homeopathics, herbs, energy drinks) sold in stores or over the Internet may contain undeclared prescription medications or other substances that are not listed on the label but that are on the Prohibited List. The presence of a prohibited substance in an athlete’s urine is a doping offense regardless of how the substance got there. Any athlete who takes a dietary supplement does so at his or her own risk of an anti-doping rule violation. IT IS THE ATHLETE’S RESPONSIBILITY TO CHECK THE STATUS OF ALL MEDICATIONS AND TO KNOW THE RULES OF HIS/HER SPORT
