See the full story.
The company - Advocare - is also endorsed by Larsen Jensen. Their products have been banned by the NCAA.
This is starting to smell real bad.....
One name....Mike Tyson....talk about a freak show!!!!
Tyson was big in late 80s/early 90s, not really since. Important to keep up with things if you plan on speaking to them. Then again, I find most of your sport's references are about 20 years old so at least you are consistent.
I make no apologies for watching boxing, even in it's current state. MMA has its niche, with the ADD adult crowd. But, that's about what sports are boiled down to these days so it works.
Google Advocare and Larsen Jensen and it's the first link that comes up.
It's now gone.
It's looks like this company and/or the athletes are scambling to cut ties with each other.

AdvoCare Full Press Release
AdvoCare products safe and free from all banned substances
July 25, 2008 - - Contrary to any false and misleading reports, AdvoCare products contain no ingredients banned by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) or the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) which monitor Olympic and amateur sports, or by the NCAA, NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, MLS, or NASCAR. AdvoCare is aware of recent information about AdvoCare and some of the company’s athletic endorsers in regard to our products and remains completely confident that all of our products contain only approved substances.
In the company’s 15-year history, AdvoCare products have never tested positive for banned substances of any kind with any of our athletic endorsers.
AdvoCare strongly adheres to the highest principles of quality and integrity with respect to its products. Every ingredient in each AdvoCare product is listed on the product label. No ingredients are included which are not contained on the label. In addition the manufacture of AdvoCare products occurs in facilities authorized to produce foods and dietary supplements. Process and Quality Control programs are integral elements of the Quality Assurance programs for each manufacturer. All manufacturers operate in compliance with FDA Good Manufacturing Practices as enforced by the USFDA. Extensive analytical procedures are employed by both the manufacturers as well as third party laboratories to ensure the integrity and identity of each product.
I missed the part where malicious intent was proven or admitted. I just think you're giving a 21-year old girl (yes, girl) too much credit by implying she masterminded an intricate doping plan that is just now being exposed.
What exactly is the age where an elite athlete has your green light to be smart enough to dope? What about her coach, he smart enough? How can someone unintentionally cheat? It's pretty dang simple, you don't put banned substances in your body.
I simply refuse to believe world record can be broken like nothing without performance-enhancing drugs involved.
I simply refuse to believe someone would say something this stupid, unless they are on drugs, PED or not.
Interesting. This was an article from July 17 promoting the athletes that used Advocare products that had made the US team. I read it yesterday. Google Advocare and Larsen Jensen and it's the first link that comes up.
It's now gone.
