False Claim on Packaging of U.K. Supplement Manufacturer
It was recently brought to the attention of BSCG that a U.K. company known as Dorian Yates Ultimate Formulas Ltd. is claiming on the packaging of their products that the products are certified by BSCG. These claims are not true. BSCG has never tested nor certified any product from Dorian Yates Ultimate Formulas Ltd. (BSCG certifies products from CNP Professional, which was formerly known as Dorian Yates Approved. These products share no similarity with those of Dorian Yates Ultimate Formulas Ltd. other than the fact that they were endorsed by the same former bodybuilder at different points in time.) BSCG is pursuing its legal options to put a stop to these blatantly false claims.
