Doping – do you know what’s in your protein shake?
The Athlete, the Supplement, and the Sanction: Lessons from the Joshua Lynch Case
My protein shake this morning contained frozen raspberries, greek yogurt, soya milk and and a very well-known brand of whey protein powder (it was delicious). It did not contain as far as I am aware any substances banned by WADA. Rugby League player Joshua Lynch was not so fortunate. His case is a good illustration of the fact that in doping cases the key issue is often not just what’s taken, but how it got there.
