The company - Advocare - is also endorsed by Larsen Jensen. Their products have been banned by the NCAA.
This is starting to smell real bad.....

This quote from the article is interesting:
The commonly held belief that the government approves these over-the-counter dietary supplements is incorrect. There is evidence that some products may not contain the ingredients listed on the label in the stated amount, may not contain the ingredients listed at all, or may be contaminated or adulterated with other prohibited substances not listed on the label.
So if you use any of these supplements the burden is on you to make sure they aren't contaminated. Nobody else is checking for you. That would be a shame to endorse the product only to find out the company effectively screwed you.

The challenge I have with all of this is that if this supplement was laced with something which seems to be the defense. If she was the only person taking this stuff then she is the only one to test positive. If she isn't (which I am sure many other people have taken this stuff and not just Olympians), I have to believe there would be many more positive tests for clenbuterol. No way this company could stay in business selling their product to one person. According to the test results and what seems to be the defense, that is what we should conclude.
