Leading endurance nutrition manufacturer Science in Sport (SiS) has joined HFL’s list of Informed-Sport approved brands and products, having been the first to pass through the sport laboratory’s evolved banned substance testing programme.

The world’s best sprinter, Mark Cavendish, has joined British endurance nutrition company Science in Sport (SiS) as an Elite Sports Consultant.

Since 1992, Science in Sport (SiS) has supplied Olympic and World champions, Tour de France winners and serious amateur athletes. SiS acts responsibly to minimise the risk of product contamination that could lead to a positive banned substances test. Athletes put their trust in SiS, and they take that responsibility very seriously.

Apart from the three big sponsors; Saunier Duval, Prodir and Scott, there’s a whole clutch of other sponsors involved in a Pro Tour team like this. Many of these are predictable – like SRAM, Ritchey, Time, Polar, Fi’zi:k, Castelli and Coke. There are even some zany ones, like Gilberto Simoni’s buddy’s clothes shop, Angel Devil, but there was one logo which caught my eye – Science in Sport (SIS) nutritional products.
