The company - Advocare - is also endorsed by Larsen Jensen. Their products have been banned by the NCAA.
This is starting to smell real bad.....
If Advocare has done nothing wrong and is merely being scapegoated, much as my beloved Jack Daniels was by Floyd, then they too are caught up in her little web of deception and might be damaged by this. Advocare isn't selling anthing out there or not any more out there than most main stream supplement companies anyway.
The thing about cheats is that they typcially don't go down without taking others with them.
And... Jensen has now been removed from the .pdf list of endorsers.
This is all very intriguing...I love a good suspense thriller!
Maybe Advocare got a case of the heeby geebies and said "get rid of all these crazy ass doping swimmers from our list of endorsers." Or, maybe Jensen saw Hardy go after Advocare and knew he would be next on her hit list due to his affiliation with Advocare so he got off their list. It is good suspense, for sure.
IMO, this entire supplement/steroroid battle is a joke. It like regulating speeding on a highway, sure you will catch some but not all.
As my screen name indicates, I am also a big fan of mixed martial arts (UFC especially). There are fighters getting caught all the time, same as nearly every single sport. Not to excuse their behavior, but a lot of these guys take supplements to aid in injury recovery (no so much for building strength - though it does).
Let face it, any elite athlete is doing their sport to earn money and fame (olympic swimmers included). They are swimming 10,000 yards per day. lifting weights, getting hurt/injured trying to maintain such elite shape. Its easy to get lured in by a product (usually reccomended by a trusted trainer or even Dr.) that claims to aid in injury healing and muscle recovery.
Give them their fine, punish them accordingly, but stop trying to demonize them like they committed murder or armed robbery!
Talk about a joke, MMA is a big fat joke. It's the pro-wrestling of the 2000s. I don't even want to hear about that kung-fu lunacy having any relationship to swimming.
That sure is keeping an open mind!!!! How do you equate that to WWF???
What is enjoyable about it other than shock entertainment value? It's nothing more than the next progression of the WWE (I think WWE bought WWF, not totally sure). But, people in trailer parks need something to watch.

WWE used to be the WWF. However, the World Wildlife Federation sued them, and now they're the WWE.
So it's ok to watch two guys beat each with gloves on but not with gloves off?
Yep. MMA is a pointless mindless freak show. There's no comparison to boxing, none.
No more Georgia Trailer Park Trash for me!!!!!!!
Did you live in the same one that the mayor of your town lives in? :thhbbb:
I had a friend who sold Advocare so I tried it. I ate a half of their energy bar and then went swimming. Big mistake! I ended up getting out after 30 min of practice because I was shaking, heart racing and felt sick all over. I learned my lesson that day and, although their products might be okay, I will never put them in my body. My friend, on the other hand, lost about 150 lbs while on it. Who knows what her long-term affects are, though.
