I believe this is the main reason ATD got targeted by the FDA:
ATD is present in some over-the-counter bodybuilding supplements as well as Topical ATD solutions that work transdermally. While not banned, ATD may cause positive urinalysis results leading to disqualification from competitive sports.[citation needed] ATD has many names in sports supplements including: 1,4,6 etiollochan-dione, 3, 17-keto-etiochol-triene, androst-1,4,6-triene-3,17-dione and many others. These all refer to CAS# 633-35-2.
ATD may cause a positive test for the anabolic steroid boldenone, of which it is a metabolite and is also prohibited in amateur and professional sports which forbids aromatase inhibitors.[3]
it seems like any time a compound has some correlation with an athlete and a pro sport the FDA gets involved.
Althought I don't agree with it, I think this has been coming down for a while. Gaspari & SNS have products that are either discontinued or on a huge sale, probably because of this.
Sucks. I've had good results from andrst-3,5-dien-7,17-dione and 7,8-benzoflavone products so if you are looking for something to put in there instead, thats my input
It is ridiculous that they want to ban supplements that help promote health and muscle growth but the government is happy to push prescription pain killers like oxycontin (aka heroin) in excessive quanities, tobacco which has no benefit whatsoever besides quenching its own addiction and causing cancer for those who would like to kill themselves slowly, and last but not least alcohol which kills more people than every other street drug combined (excluding prescription drugs which are on the rise fast in the U.S.). But hey they get their cut from those drugs that makes it ok. It makes perfect sense why much more harmless drugs such as AAS, marijuana, and bodybuilding supplements are illegal. How much safer would our country be if everyone took supplements, used anabolic steroids safely and correctly under proper guidance, and maybe smoked some marijuana to relax on the weekends instead of smoking cigarettes like fiends, taking prescription drugs pushed upon us by doctors and pharm companies, and drinking alcohol at bars when most decide to drive home because the alcohol fools them into thinking I am not impaired I feel like I am more focused. In the end what is worse? You make the call. I think the government needs to rethink what their views are toward these substances because IMO it is just wrong.
