Tyson Gay Partners With EAS Sports 100% Certified Program
By EAS (Press Release)
September 27, 2011
Abbott’s
EAS Sports Nutrition brand is partnering with American Track and Field
star Tyson Gay to serve as an ambassador for the EAS new 100% Certified
program, through which all EAS sports nutrition products are banned
substance tested by industry-leading, independent, laboratories and
marked with a “tested and true” seal. Tyson, 28, has distinguished
himself as a strong supporter of anti-doping initiatives through his
work with the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency’s “Project Believe” program during
the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, where he was regularly tested to ensure
the absence of performance-enhancing drugs.
Now, the world
champion sprinter is seeking a return trip to the Olympic Games next
summer in London and an opportunity to capture his first Olympic medal.
Tyson plans to compete in several early season domestic meets in the
spring of 2012, before heading to the U.S. Olympic Track and Field
Championships in Eugene, Ore.
As an EAS Sports
Nutrition ambassador, Tyson joins fellow “Team EAS” members Larry
Fitzgerald (Arizona Cardinals) and Danny Granger (Indiana Pacers) to
help raise awareness for the importance of performance nutrition and
clean competition in all sports at all levels.
“Every time I
put something in my body, I have to think about what it is, where it
came from and how it will impact my training and racing,” said Tyson.
“I am excited to be part of the EAS Sports Nutrition 100% Certified
program and supporting nutrition education and informed choices around
safe supplement use.”
