“Suffice it to say, we took this course of action because we do believe there is an explanation for the positive and that she didn't knowingly or intentionally take clenbuterol,” Howard Jacobs, her attorney, said by phone late last night.
Jacobs would not elaborate other than to say: “I have a pretty good idea where it came from.”

I went looking for any claim by Hardy or her lawyer that she blaimed supplements and the above was all I could find.
Paul, you have a valid point that I might be doing a disservice to Rick and Silken by associating them with this case, especially given some of the guilt by association tendencies here. You should note however that I haven't equated what they did with what she may or may not have done, I just used them as examples to demonstrate that a positive test doesn't indicate a deliberate attempt at cheating 100% of the time. It would be interesting to know if, having had people point fingers at them as being cheaters, they would advocate for letting the process conclude before making assumptions, I wouldn't be surprised.
At this point Salo, and various message board posters and bloggers are the only one's I've seen link her test to supplements, so we'll have to wait to see if that is the tack she takes and whether she has any hard evidence. Until then, anyone assuming the Clen came from supplements is doing just that, assuming.
