Anabolic Steroid Control Act of 2004

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anabolic Steroid Control Act of 2004
(Bye Bye 1-AD, Methyl-1-Test, and others)
October 22, 2004 - 5pm




S. 2195, the Anabolic Steroid Control Act of 2004, was signed by President Bush on Friday, October 22. It is amazing that only 14 years earlier, in 1990, anabolic steroids were banned. In 90 days, around January 22, 2005, selling andro, methyl-1-test, and other popular pro-hormones will be in the same legal status as other drugs, like cocaine and heroin. (Yes, we are living in the United States). It looks like besides the 18 new substances listed, in expands the act to include all prohormones and prosteroid supplements. (DHEA, estrogens and a few others were spared the act - for now). So buy all that you can now, before it goes away, like ephedra did.
This bill, which was introduced by Senators Joseph Biden (D-Del.) and Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), provided for the listing of steroid hormone precursors such as androstenedione ("andro") under the Controlled Substances Act. Such action effectively prohibits the marketing of these substances as dietary supplements by regulating them as Schedule III controlled substances. The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) has called steroid precursors "the functional equivalent of steroids."

Congressman John Sweeney, another sponsor of the bill has said ?Today is a great victory for parents of athletes everywhere,? said Sweeney. ?No longer will these dangerous products be marketed to our nation?s youth, many of who are unaware of their harmful side effects. Starting today, we?ve made it a little easier for parents in their continuing struggle to keep their children safe from the dangers of illicit drugs.?

The legislation adds 18 substances to the list of banned anabolic steroids. Here is the list of banned items:
