BSCG Founders & Leadership

Scientific Innovation and WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) Experience

WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) experience is vital to the third-party certification and testing for banned substances in dietary supplements, natural products and muscle creams, or other products. BSCG’s leadership team brings more than 70 years of combined experience in the world of anti-doping to third-party certification and testing. Key elements of our certification approach rely on this expertise, including: interpreting the WADA Prohibited List to determine what supplement ingredients are acceptable for athletes, determining the optimal drug-testing menu to apply to certification, and developing the advanced analytical techniques necessary to detect trace amounts of drugs in a range of products. We have adopted key technical elements of WADA drug testing scheme like the acceptance criteria used to identify banned substances.
