The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) [1] has noted a rise in positive doping tests involving Ostarine MK-2866, a well-known type of SARM. Even though its presence is limited to unlawful products and it’s not approved for prescription in the U.S. or elsewhere, it’s becoming more common in doping violations. A significant number of these violations can be attributed to the contamination of supplements, with allegations against some manufacturers for illicitly incorporating Ostarine and other SARMs into their products. There have been instances where companies have failed to list Ostarine on their product labels or have given it deceptive names, leading to confusion amongst consumers.

What are SARMs?
Selective androgen receptor modulators, or SARMs, are a relatively new class of androgen receptor ligands whose effects are similar to, though much more “selective” than, anabolic steroids. In theory, this allows SARMs to be used for a greater variety of purposes without the risk of serious side effects associated with traditional anabolic steroids.

Federal authorities in December 2017 raided a facility in Sacramento, CA., owned by a company called Enhanced Athletes that sells SARMs linked to Charles Anthony Hughes, a former bankruptcy attorney turned meathead SARMs advocate who goes by the not-very-original moniker, “Dr. Tony Huge.” Yawn. The raid produced adulterated SARMs, raw materials, and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of finished and unfinished products, according to Enhanced Athletes CEO Scott Cavell.

USADA Issues Warning on SARMs
In July 2017, the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) issued a supplement warning on Ostarina [2], a trademarked SARM that has not been approved for use in the U.S., after authorities noted a significant increase in positive doping test results for the supplement. Many of these positive tests are likely due to supplement contamination, according to Natural Products Insider [3], as manufacturers of these products have been accused of illegally adding Ostarine and other SARMs to their products.
