From what i have heard, from several credible sources, someone on the us women's team tested positive. As of now only the persons family, roommate, and usa swimming know, but im sure it will begin to leak out. Nothing matters though until we get results of the B test.. which could be a few days or even weeks. Not sure when the test was taken, but probably trials. I will try to post more information when I get it, but if anyone could confirm or post what they know, im sure it would be appreciated

Why should we be concerned about taking supplements or recommending them to our swimmers?
Despite the efforts of the FDA to regulate the supplement industry, there have been far too many cases of product contamination, many of which are affecting our sport and our athletes’ ability to feel comfortable with their decisions. Below are just a handful of examples.
--Nearly 20% of over-the-counter food supplements found to contain Nandrolone (a prohibited substance); No label warnings. The Times, September 20, 2001
--Ginseng products from a local health food store contain marker compounds in amounts different from label; Significant product-to-product variability. American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 73:1101-1106, 2001
--Unusual or unidentifiable ingredients in supplements advertised in bodybuilding and health magazines. Sports Medicine
--Two “mental enhancers” contain caffeine and ephedrine; neither is clearly declared on the labelor declared at all. International Journal of Sport Nutrition and Exercise Metabolism 11:258-263, 2001
--Researchers detect testosterone and various forms of androstenedione and 19-norandrostenedion/diol in Chrysin, Tribulus Terrestris and Guarana. Deutsche Zeitschrift fur Sportmedezin 51:378-382, 2000
--Norwegian weightlifter tests positive for Nandrolone 2 weeks before the Sydney Olympics and suspended for 6 months; Tests showed the supplement contained substances not listed on the label. USA Today - June 18, 2001
--French sprinter tests positive at World Championships; Told French media his food supplement did not indicate it contained the banned substance nandrolone. "Naturally, nandrolone wasn't mentioned on the wrapper," he said. "I realized I might be lacking in magnesium and iron. I was
trying to make up for this shortage." CNN SI.com - August 29, 2001
