143 - Exploring Potential Contamination of Meat with Anabolic Agents and Other Prohibited Substances - Brad Johnson, PhD

Dr. Brad Johnson is the Gordon W. Davis Regent's Chair in Meat Science and Muscle Biology and Professor in the Department of Animal and Food Sciences in the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources at Texas Tech University. In this episode, Brad discusses his research on muscle growth and development in meat animals, as well as potential contamination of meat with growth promoters that are relevant for anti-doping. In particular, he shares findings from a recent study, funded by the Partnership for Clean Competition, that examined residues of prohibited anabolic agents in the meat supply chain.
