VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) - Authorities say a white powder substance that was mailed to the Christian Broadcasting Network
headquarters in Virginia, causing several employees to be isolated
for six hours, was whey protein powder.

Virginia Beach fire spokesman Tim Riley says lab work determined the powder was the kind used by body builders, not a biohazard such as anthrax or ricin.

CBN spokesman Chris Roslan says two employees opened the envelope containing white powder Wednesday morning. Those employees, a CBN security guard and a U.S. postal service inspector
were placed on precautionary medical watch until officials received
the test results.
