Protect Your Athletes With Our NIL Custom Testing Service
The Importance of Batch-Tested Sports Supplements
With the ability to sign Name, Image, Likeness (NIL) deals, athletes are being approached Sports Nutritional Supplement brands asking them to promote their products. Many of these companies do not test their products, yet studies show that 1-in-10 products contain banned substances, therefore putting the student athlete at risk of an inadvertent doping violation.
What are the risks?
THE RISKS:
This is a risk to the student athlete using a contaminated product that could result in an inadvertent doping violation.
There is a risk to the reputation of the Academic Institution due to the loss of a promising athlete from athletic competition.
This is a financial risk to the Academic Institution through a potential loss of revenue from unwanted legal action and negative exposure.
This is a risk to the dietician, strength and coaching staff, along with the Executive Administration who are responsible for athlete safety (even though the athlete makes their own decisions).
This is a risk to the Supplement brand and the manufacturer of potential legal action brought against them by the affected athlete.
THE SOLUTION:
LGC offers a NIL Custom Testing Service that screens for 285+ substances from the WADA prohibited list
Schools can provide a referral to the brands, which will be charged at a significantly discounted rate, allowing them to test a specific production batch of a product before providing it to athletes.
By utilizing this service, LGC can verify product safety for each lot number tested while also encouraging brands to choose a more robust option of protection by participating in a formal anti-doping program such as Informed Sport or Informed Choice.
