also upheld an accusation of retail price maintenance against SKINS, who induced, by request, a retailer in Adelaide not to lower the retail prices of their products. SKINS ran an advertising campaign in 2006 which featured the famous "Swoosh" logo of Nike, Inc. placed upside down across the mouths of athletes to form a grimace. Nike demanded SKINS to cease this advertising, which they did. However, the advertising campaign received praise for its creativity from the Advertising Federation of Australia. Retail partnerships In 2010, SKINS partnered with Chinese sportswear manufacturer Li-Ning with a range of co-branded products being produced for the Chinese market by the two companies. In 2012, SKINS has partnered with the Itochu Corporation of Japan to distribute SKINS products in Japan, China, South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Anti-doping campaigns SKINS has been vocal opponents of blood doping in sports and were the first company to be certified by BikePure, an independent, not-for-profit organisation which advocates ethical cycling practices and conducts anti-doping research. In September 2013, SKINS launched an Anti-Doping initiative called Pure Sport, petitioning for change with the International Olympic Committee and the World Anti-Doping Agency. Former Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson has joined the campaign; Johnson had his gold medal rescinded after the 1988 Summer Olympics after testing positive for the banned substance Stanozolol. In February 2014, Pure Sport also launched a campaign during the Sochi Winter Olympics. The aim was to showcase the inequality, discrimination and poor practices that took place before, and during the games with the hope of increasing awareness so that future mistakes are not replicated. Other associations The company was involved with the Mars Society Australia in the development of MarsSkin, a prototype spacesuit that was tested in the Flinders Ranges in Australia in August 2004. Their compression stockings are listed on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods as a medical device for reducing oedema.
