So the FDA don't release a statement about these products being bannedbefore the raid?
Whatever warning letters they got, or any distributor gets, they comply with. Simple as that. The problem is that on some items, there is no warning letters, and in this case, it looks like they just went into there and started to check every item they think is a pro-hormone. Bodybuilding.com does not sell steroids - they are pro-hormones.
The problem is that many of us would like a simple place where we can check on products.
It is easier to go after the distributor or store instead of the manufacturer.
If the FDA wanted these products to be gone, all they needed to do with give a site saying 'These products are considered steroid like pro-hormones and should not be sold'. Then, they would be removed from the stores, sites, etc.
It is much easier to go in with a bang, raid the retail stores outlets, and create a brew-ha-ha with the media than actually taking care of the problem.
They did it the right way with ephedra a few years back. They sent a warning letter to all, posted on the website, give a list of products, and said any items that contain this compounds or this brand name after this date will be considered illegal.
So come on now, all we need is a simple list saying 'IFORCE so and so product' is not considered standard by DSHEA and is subject to seizure.
Simple as that.
