Tell the DEA to go after the Tabacco industry they are the ones killing people.Hell no theycant do that to much money in smoking and all the health issues that come from smoking.To many millions they love people getting sick and cancer means more drugs to sell them and research. and it goes on ....................

Hopefully the tobacco industry cannot be left untouched after this.

An argument can at least be made to move in on them.

I am more worried about the young drinking.There are more teenage deaths from that every year.Show me one proven case where steriods have killed someone .JUST STERIODS.Now lets look at teen drinking and the deaths a few thousand each year.So you tell me where the problem is.
lee
Yeah really!!!
Big problems with teens, drinking and drugs and smoking!!! Not steroids at least those are the 1% of kids who stay away from that shit, and dont kill themselves or some innocent bystander!!!

Ya kids are using steriods at younger ages these days...Just last week i caught my 12 year old brother injecting some Equipoise.. ;D
I was very upset becouse he wasn't stacking it with test, and wasn't even using nolvadex..

Maybe he was using proviron & you missed it.

Yeah case in point GHB, drug companies threw a few dollars around for "research" and got it FDA approved in less than 4 years less I think, and took no time ($$$$) to get the government to take it off the shelves.
People predicted something like this a long time ago with the baby boomers, take a look at DHEA that did not work out well for them they see the real thing is the only thing, fat burners also billion dollar supplement industry crushed overnight with the ban of ephedrine

im now ashamed to be american.... this is truly sad. go after another country for making anabolic steroids? obviously in these countries where steroids are legal its not a problem(wheres the people dieing from it?).... usa feels the need to jump into these countries and say steroids are an epidemic in america? Ha, this country has gone to shit.

Hey, we told those Iraqies that they need to have democracy as it is better for them then an evil tyrant.  If countries like Mexico don't recognize that steroids are lethal to their citizens, President Bush will have our armed forces invade that 3rd world hellhole and put in a government that will destroy all steroids.  Steroids make better & stronger terrorists!!!

I guess that explains why you've appeared in numerous supplement ads over the years (for various different companies) when these products have played a very marginal role (if any) in enhancing your physique.

Since when does the DEA have jurisdiction over Mexico?

Tell the DEA to have fun prosecuting these guys..........b/c even if Mexico cooperates I can assure you they will not turn over any of their citizens to US authorities if they face long prison terms in the US....just wont be happening folks.......and 56 Million in sales for the entire USA is a flat out joke-that is peanuts for an entire nation.....


"This is the poison that is on the Internet that is available to anyone who turns their computers on," said Assistant U.S. Attorney Timothy Coughlin, who is to be prosecuting the cases.

The investigation identified more than 2,000 U.S. customers of the steroids, including body builders, athletes and other users. "

I hope no getig member is on the list.................... ......

I wonder if they will bother to arrest the buyers?  It's an easy thing to trace if the internet and credit cards are involved.  Imagine the shock of mom and dad when the door is broken down at 5AM by 12 DEA agents carring sub machine guns.   I hope they just mace the family dog and don't shoot it.

They can't do shit to the buyers...they dont have any evidence...if they busted the buyers when the buyers took possession of the drugs they would have a case....but with no drugs=NO CASE.

The DEA is a law enforcement agency. They don't write the laws.

The tobacco industry has been sued for billions of dollars by state governments. At any rate, it would be completely impractical to outlaw tobacco products. They are far more popular than steroids.

I actually think it's a good thing that steroids aren't routinely prescribed anymore. Otherwise, every high school athlete would be slamming deca and dbol nonstop.

Nah instead they slam beer ,and any other drink and kill themselves.Just go look at the figures on teen deaths from drinking.What these drugs are more social and acepted so it is ok for all the deaths they cause.How many deaths came from ephedra that were actually linked to it.Now lets look at all the data we have on deaths linked to drinking and smoking.100,000 each year.So why arent they taken of the maket.

NATURAL CURES ;They don't want you to know about.
BY   Kevin Trudeau

Anyone who uses supplemnts should read this book.Has lots of cases and and stuff the FDA will go to all types of lenghts to ban anything that might help.

Just go buy the book and read it.Very interesting i promise you.

SO what do you think this will do to availability and price?  Has there been a "bust" like this before in the past?  If prices go up, how long will the high prices last?

Again I think this all boils down to professional athletics -- which kind of leaves out professional BB.  Everyone pretty much has an understanding that BB's use drugs to advance their physiques -- no real secret here.  But, BB's generally have to most advanced knowledge of nutrition / supplementation as well.  Almost every athlete I have worked with / talked to uses supplements to some degree.  And, the supplements do work -- protein, creatine, ECA (when you could get it).  In the sport of BB you have more of an even playing field -- you never are going to have competitors making cheating accusations due to AAS use (or anything else for that matter).

It is really with mainstream professional athletics were the problems arise -- baseball, football etc.  The people are faced with multi-year contracts worth million and millions of dollars, not to mention other very lucrative endorsement deals.  It is within these arenas where drug use is not understood by the general poplulation.  And, on top of that if an athlete does choose to use AAS or other drugs while others are not and it breaks the rules it really is cheating.

Lowered supply + current demand = higher prices.

How long?   I have no idea.

Probably means more people will learn how to homebrew and make their own shit.

The fact that all the major Mexican Pharmaceutical companies got stepped on only means the consumer will pay the difference in cost.

Feel this.
