SPORT Protect

SPORT Protect is a French anti-doping certification label for sports nutrition and sports cosmetics. According to its official website, it has operated since 2005 as "the label of sports nutrition and cosmetics" ("Depuis 2005, le Label de la nutrition et de la cosmétique sportive"). The label is built around the anti-doping standard NF EN 17444 and is associated with the Afnor specification V94001, which together define requirements intended to prevent inadvertent doping through contaminated or non-compliant ingredients. The label is presented as a control and certification scheme rather than a consumer product brand. Its website describes an "Organisme de contrôle" (control body) and lists "Gammes labellisées" (labelled product ranges), indicating that manufacturers submit product lines for assessment and, once compliant, may display the SPORT Protect label. The site states that more than 400 labelled references exist and that more than 300,000 athletes are protected by the scheme. It also promotes an anti-doping application that lets athletes consult product information from a smartphone and access the Adams whereabouts system more easily, addressing risks such as no-show violations. SPORT Protect's positioning is explicitly ethical and protective: it aims to allow athletes to eat and treat themselves effectively without risk ("S'alimenter. Se soigner. Efficacement. Sans risques."). Testimonials on the site include karate world champion Nadir Benaïssa, who notes that he nearly tested positive because of an Actifed medication and argues the system reduces the risk of mistakes with food supplements; and Antoine Lagarde, CEO of Laboratoire Nutergia, who says the company chose the SPORT Protect label for its Ergysport range to guarantee ingredients strictly compliant with anti-doping legislation. The site also quotes French President Emmanuel Macron praising the work and encouraging further research into protecting athletes and raising awareness of inadvertent doping. The organisation operates in France and communicates in French. Its public identity is tied to the anti-doping standard NF EN 17444 and the Afnor V94001 reference, and it functions as a trusted third-party label for sports nutrition and cosmetics. Beyond the official website and a Wikidata entry, detailed corporate information such as headquarters address, legal ownership, or executive leadership is not provided in the available evidence.

SPORT Protect was established in 2005, according to its official website, which describes it as "the label of sports nutrition and cosmetics" since that year. The label was created to address the risk of inadvertent doping faced by athletes who use food supplements and sports cosmetics. Its framework is linked to the anti-doping standard NF EN 17444 and the Afnor V94001 specification, which set requirements for product composition and control processes. Over time, the label has expanded its scope to cover a range of labelled product lines ("gammes labellisées"). The official site states that more than 400 references have been labelled and that more than 300,000 athletes are protected by the scheme. It also highlights the development of an anti-doping application that provides athletes with easy access to product information and to the Adams whereabouts system, helping them avoid no-show violations. The label has gained recognition in the French sports and nutrition sector. Testimonials on the website include athletes such as karate world champion Nadir Benaïssa and industry figures such as Antoine Lagarde, CEO of Laboratoire Nutergia, whose Ergysport range uses the label. The site also features a message from French President Emmanuel Macron acknowledging the work and encouraging further efforts in protecting athletes and raising awareness about inadvertent doping. The organisation continues to operate in France, promoting its certification for sports nutrition and cosmetics.
