Abstract
Hardy has endorsed supplements made by AdvoCare.7 Her coach Dave Salo has said that he believes the positive test was the result of an inadvertent consumption of a banned substance through a supplement.8 However, it is a strict liability standard - athletes are held strictly responsible for what is in their bodies. [...] as mentioned, the new rules give sport federations and authorities more flexibility in sanctions than under the current automatic two-year ban. [...] WADA also announced several successful partnerships with pharmaceu- tical and biotechnology companies to allow the detection of new substances.
