NFL TELLS BRONCOS TO EAS UP ON SPONSORING SUPPLEMENT

          CO-based Experimental and Applied Sciences, a sports
     nutrition company, "is in hot water with the NFL for one of
     its supplements and its involvement with several" Broncos
     players, according to Alex Marvez of the ROCKY MOUNTAIN
     NEWS.  The NFL said Wednesday that Broncos players will not
     be allowed to wear EAS merchandise on game days during the
     upcoming season because it violates the league's licensing
     agreement.  That includes postgame interviews, where EAS
     gained "significant exposure" during the '97 playoffs from
     such players as Bill Romanowski and Shannon Sharpe, two EAS
     endorsers along with fellow Broncos Terrell Davis and John
     Elway.  The NFL also issued a memo to all teams warning
     about the use of Andro-6, an EAS supplement that boosts
     testosterone levels while reportedly increasing strength and
     muscle mass.  The NFL found two ingredients in Andro-6 that
     are "in violation" of its drug-testing policy.  EAS CEO Bill
     Phillips said he "couldn't care less" about the NFL's ban on
     players wearing EAS' logo: "We market on information, not on
     EAS logos on hats" (ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS, 5/28).
