Thread: Congress to Ban Steroid Precursors (Prohormones) in Early 2003

Thanks to all the negative press, and people offing themselves with supplement use, it seemed inevitable.

Another right to choose down the tubes.

I just mailed off my five letters to my representatives!

All this will do is lead to more anabolic steroid users. Who will take their chances on illegal prohormones(if they are banned) over illegal steroids?

Prohormones are not directly steroids, but 1-Test and some others are steroids. The way they outlawed steroids in the early 90s, was to create a list of known steroids at that time, things like 1-test were apperantly in thier original form not terribly effective and just were not payed attention too. So since they didn't hit the lawbooks, someone brought them back from the dead, along with a few others.

those bastards.. thank god for the blackmarket

Drink and drive, but god forbid dont touch them roids.

yup, and if you want to become a female you can get estrogen no problem, then you can even have your penis & testicles cut off, and breast augmentation done....

BUT do not take anything that is anabolic!!!

then after you have successfully transformed yourself into a female, go smoke your fucking lungs out, and die of cancer, that is okay with our government too...and do not worry about the people around you, they don't mind inhaling your smoke.

BUT do not take anything that is anabolic!!!

and if you want, go have your face operated on about 50 times until your nose falls off, and you can make yourself look like a fucking freak *cough*Michael Jackson *cough*....

BUT do not take anything that is anabolic!!!

And if you're having trouble building up those pecs and even your glutes, go have some prosthetic implants put in your chest and ass because that is MUCH safer than using steroids to build the muscles.

BUT do not take anything that is anabolic!!!

Click here to read updates on this issue!

I just received my first reponse to one of the five letters that I sent off to Congress.

so..I cannot read that..type is too small...
what did it say?

By the sounds of it once this legislation hits the Senate for a vote it will most likely pass.

What do you expect when the NFL (National Football League), NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association), USOC (United States Olympic Committee) and the USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency) are all supporting it.

The only positive thing he said was that he has been hearing from people, including those who manufacture, sell and actively use these kinds of supplements, who are concened that the legislation goes too far.

I am not saying to give up, we should all send in the letters!!!

which can be done here >> http://www.usfa.biz/form_letters/form_letter.php

That is just too-too bad! DAMN! As everyone says, thank god for the black market!!!

ALBOB and BURNER! Take notice!!!!!

Bump.

Yes, send letters. This has vast impact beyond prohormones.

yeah...with all the actual problems that are out there...they are thinking of banning supps that help and are relatively harmless is taken correctly...

Just a suggestion! But not neccessary! As long as you can live wt/ it forever!

they will find a way to sell the stuff afterwards..

No, they won't and if they do it'll be SHIT!!!!!

I just cleaned up this thread!

Please keep posts here relevant to the topic.

Nice job.

I have heard nothing new lately to report. Anyone else?

I have heard nothing new, and I still have only received the one letter in response to the five I sent out.

I go here for updates:
http://www.usfa.biz/modules.php?op=m...forum&f=1&sid=

Yes, that's the best place for public updates and Pat Arnold and Rick Collins and their crew keep it up to date.

I was referring, though, to any inside scoop.

You know Mike (1fast) is now the USFA Corporate Secretary?

Subject: Bill S 722

A new bill affecting vitamin supplements has been introduced to the US Congrss and may soon be voted on by the Senate. It's purposes to give the FDA total power over supplements. It would give the FDA power to take any product off the market as "unsafe."

The bill is S.722. If you live in the US, please write ( a letter is best) to your two senators asking them to vote "no" to S.722. Please don't sit still and let your right to take vitamins and supplements disappear! ''

Although it won't make the headlines until the battle is already over, the supplement industry is under attack. If you use supplements, so are you. The threat is in the form of S. 722, a bill introduced in the United States Senate. If the bill is passed it will become the Trojan horse for changing the way ALL supplements are regulated (principally by treating them as drugs, rather than foods).

Folks, this issue is not really about supplements; it's about "Freedom of Choice"! It's about profit! Do you really think the federal government should regulate and control what you are allowed to eat? Do you really think supplements should require a doctor's prescription?

Help stop the insanity by visiting: http://www.senate.gov/general/contac...nators_cfm.cfm ,choose your state from the dropdown menu, get appropriate phone numbers and email addresses. Then, call fax, and/or email and ask your senators NOT to change the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) of 1994.

To make it easier for you, I've attached a sample letter you can complete (by filling in brackets), then cut, paste and send. Common, it will only take a few minutes of your time:

{Date}

Dear {name of senator}

I wish to record my opposition to bill S. 722. I request that you DO NOT change the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) of 1994, and ask that you OPPOSE S. 722 and all similar legislation. I state emphatically that I DO NOT want my access to dietary supplements to be limited.

Yours sincerely,

{Your name}

{Your address}

Finally, please forward this information to everyone you know, so that they may make their own choices concerning their personal lives!

Thanks ;-)

Your access to food supplements in doses that would promote optimal health

cheers, dar dobs

I'll send my letters out soon, but what about Creatine? Is it true that they could make it avaiable by prescription only? Is that in this new legislation? The individual states should NEVER have let the federal government get this much power in the first place!
