The Claim
Sports supplements and underground lab drugs frequently contain adulterated, contaminated, or mislabeled ingredients
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Many workout supplements and black market drugs don't contain what the labels say - they might have harmful stuff mixed in or be labeled completely wrong.

2 studiesStudy: A Public Health Issue: Dietary Supplements Promoted for Brain Health and Cognitive Performance
The study looked at brain health supplements and found most were mislabeled or adulterated - 83% had hidden ingredients. This proves supplements often contain things not listed on the label, supporting the claim about supplement contamination and mislabeling.
The study looked at sports supplements and found that 12-58% of them contained hidden banned substances like steroids or stimulants that weren't listed on the label - this proves the claim that sports supplements often have contaminated or mislabeled ingredients.
