Our official statement...
Optimum Nutrition is a company built on the highest quality and integrity standards for over 24 years, so we are extremely concerned by the allegations raised regarding George's statements in a video posted on one of our websites. That is why the video was removed from the internet as soon as we were made aware of the Rochester Police Locust Club's concerns. George is not an employee of Optimum Nutrition, but was one of our more than 50 sponsored athletes, all of whom sign an Endorsement and Representation Agreement which provides that the athlete must represent themselves and the company professionally and in good faith. As a result of these allegations, George has been suspended from his sponsored athlete role and will not be involved in future company advertising, promotions or marketing pending an internal review of all the information that has come to light. Further action may be necessary if it is determined that George misrepresented himself.
