Racers considering legal action against supplement manufacturer

Racers Track Club, the home of the world’s fastest man Usain Bolt, is considering legal action against the manufacturers of a supplement, which contained the stimulant that caused two of their athletes to be banned for three months.



Yohan Blake and Marvin Anderson of Racers Track Club were two of five Jamaican athletes whose test samples returned adverse analytical findings at the National Championships held in June this year to select the team to the World Championships in Athletics in Berlin, Germany.



Club president Glen Mills says the list of contents on the supplement, Muscle Speed, that primarily contains vitamins B, E, and C, did not mention that it has Methyl-Hexanamine, a compound that resembles Tuaminoheptane, a stimulant that is on the World Anti Doping Agency’s banned list.



Mills says the club is now in the process of securing the services of a law firm in the United States to proceed on the matter.
