The Washington DC-based Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) has clarified that it has not condemned the sports supplement compound, DMAA (methylhexaneamine/1,3-dimethylamylamine), although its namesake in the UK has.

CRN US president and CEO, Steve Mister, said his group is yet to deliver a verdict on DMAA as it wants to wait until further research is conducted into the controversial stimulant before taking a stance.

The UK CRN today said DMAA was illegal in the European Union, and products containing it should be stripped from shelves there.

The two groups share their name but operate completely independently of each other.
