As usual, the press reports what it can use to put across the message its corporate advertisers want to spin in that direction.
I have used many legal forms of "supposed" steroids, and some when used properly provided better than average results.
Muscletech put out a combination of Andro, and Nortest which when coupled together on a high-protein diet provided fantastic results in lean muscle mass for me. I also used their product Hydroxycut, which was fantastic before it was changed because of all the dumbasses who abused it as "weight loss pill" thinking the more they took, the faster they lost...... what morons.
Point being, I personally have used and independently studied some of these myself, and I know for a fact some work, and some don't, on me.
I am rigorously anal in my testing to, so, yes, I do know it was a controlled study.
I know people who have used old style, REAL steroids, like anabol and others, but I never have, nor would. Why? Not because they are illegal, but because I know the facts about how they work, why they work, and their dangers, which are very real if abused.
Just because something is dangerous, does that mean it should be illegal?
I don't think so, for obvious reasons.

I ran a gym for a while. You would, or maybe you wouldn't, be amazed at how many people think all supps are cheating. Creatine supplements are high on the list 'substances of interest'. It is naturally occuring in the body. I know there are banned substances that occur in the body but those are not amino acids like creatine. If it works they try to take it off the market.
I'm sticking to my guns on the legal thing. It's one thing to legalize the substance, another to incentivize it.
