Scene: Apartment living room. Wife hands over a prescription bottle.

Wife: Hey hon! I picked up your prescription—Dr. Smith says this will fix you right up.

(Buzzer sounds)

Voice-Over: Did you know that a prescription alone does not permit the use of a prohibited substance?

Husband: Thank you.

Wife: Take one of these twice a day and you should be ready in time for your meet.

Husband: Thanks, babe.

Voice-Over: Did you check though? Remember, that even if someone else gives an athlete a prohibited substance without their knowledge, the athlete is ultimately responsible for what goes on and in their body. Visit GlobalDRO.com
