Food supplements and foods fortified with proteins, amino acids or plant extracts are taken by athletes, both professional and amateur, to build muscle mass or reduce body fat. Following an initial alert issued in 2016, the Agency is once again warning athletes, coaches and healthcare professionals of the risks of consuming these products, both to the health of the athlete and in the event of a drug test.

Birds of prey and other scavenging animals may accidentally be exposed to veterinary medicines when they eat the carcasses of animals that are not rendered and have therefore been left in the wild. Certain anti-inflammatories and barbiturates pose a particular risk. The French Agency for Veterinary Medicinal Products (ANMV) is calling on veterinarians and breeders to take all the necessary precautions when administering these drugs to animals liable to be consumed by scavengers after their death.
