I am SO tired of the contaminated supplements excuse!!! Surely there are some first rate companies out there that wouldn't have that problem.
While I want to agree with you, I don't think you are correct. A supplement company cannot make money without selling to the public and you cannot mass produce anything and provide a 100% non-contaminated guarantee. It is a fact, you eat bugs when you eat panut butter!
A possible solution is that the governing bodies test supplements and make them available (in batches) to athletes who want them. Then, if you go out on your own and consequently fail a test, it is on you.
While this is not the case with Cielo, your typical swimmer is making $15,000 per year (I think that is what National B team memebers get), working at starbucks 20 hours a week trying to make the Olympics. These are not millionaires with unlimited resources.
