F.D.A. warns of unknown steroids in popular supplements - Jul 30, 2009 | 12:15:50
The New York Times reports that the F.D.A. has warned consumers to "not to use body-building products that are sold as nutritional supplements but may contain steroids or steroidlike substances, citing reports of acute liver injury and kidney failure."
The warning comes just one week after the supplements, Tren Xtreme and Mass Xtreme were found to contain steroids.
Before consuming any nutritional or dietary supplements, student-athletes should read the entire product label and check with their athletics department staff to ensure they are not ingesting any banned substances.
