Issam Asinga, the Surinamese teenager who set the under-20 world record in the
100 meters, said that when Gatorade honored him as its high school track and
field athlete of the year in July 2023, it provided a gift basket that included
Gatorade Recovery Gummies. In a lawsuit filed Wednesday, the 19-year-old Asinga
claims those gummies are the reason he later tested positive for the banned
substance GW1516, which led to a four-year ban this May and stripped him of his
record. The suit further claims the company took measures to protect its
reputation, damaging Asinga’s in the process.
