About Us
HASTA is the first laboratory in Australia to provide testing and certification of sports supplements for professional athletes by an experienced and professional drug testing company.
HASTA is the Australian sports supplement drug testing specialist, a division of Racing Analytical Services Limited (RASL), Australia’s largest independent sports drug testing laboratory.
Sports people, from weekend warriors to elite athletes, currently use sports supplements with no guarantee of the product’s quality or reliability. The consumption of contaminated supplements has led to drug prosecutions for some of the world’s most high profile athletes.
