Invictus X Athlete Chantelle Loehner Tests Positive For Turinabol

Yesterday, former Swolverine sponsored athlete Chantelle Loehner was banned from competition as a result of her breach of the CrossFit Drug Testing Policy. Loehner, member of Team Invictus X, who finished first, overall at the Mid-Atlantic CrossFit Challenge, is suspended for four years as of April 14, 2019. She will not be eligible until April 14, 2023.

In a recorded statement with Swolverine, Loehner reported, "After we ruled out that there wasn't any error in the B sample, I had thought of everything I could have possibly taken since I last got tested at WZA 2018. We did some research on what the substance is [Turinabol]. Everything that I had taken from Swolverine I had been tested on and I'm confident that myself and any other athlete taking Swolverine products were and are safe."turinabol powder

Loehner, tested positive for metabolites of Chlorodehydromethyltestosterone (CDMT) or better known by its brand name Oral Turinabol an anabolic-androgenic oral steroid (AAS). "Turinabol is an exogenous anabolic steroid, which is a synthetic androgenic" commented Anesthesiologist Dr. Scott Spendlove on behalf of Swolverine. "Turinabol is a cross between Dianabol (Dbol) and Clostebol with less known androgenic effects. Turinabol is also not for legal sale or use in the United States."

All Swolverine products are manufactured in a cGMP, NSF registered, FDA regulated facility, within the United States. The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) gives authority to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to regulate dietary supplements but as food instead of a type of pharmaceutical drug.

The DSHEA gives the FDA authority to establish good manufacturing practices (GMPs) to ensure quality, confirming the absence of contaminants, verifying accuracy of labeling, maintaining minimal standards for marketing and packaging, monitoring and reporting adverse events, and making all records available for FDA inspection. Ingredients like Turinabol, and other doping agents, are not manufactured in the same facility as Swolverine products, eliminating any possibility of cross-contamination with a banned substance.

"This situation is the exact reason why we started our company. We wanted to provide high-level, elite endurance athletes sports performance products they can trust, through transparency in labeling; ones that are free of proprietary blends that use clinically dosed and proven ingredients", commented Swolverine CEO Walter Hinchman.
