Senator Orrin Hatch and Senator Sheldon Whitehouse have just introduced2012 Designer Anabolic Steroid Control Act. The bill is apparently intended to address any and all prohormone products that remain on the market. The bill appears to not only add an additional 27 substances to the list of Scheduled Anabolic Steroids, but it expands on the definition of anabolic steroid from the original 1990 Act to include steroidal substances not on the list, even those that are “intended to be marketed” to promote muscle growth, regardless of whether or not they actually build muscle. Stay tuned for commentary on the legislation and the effect it will have on the dietary supplement industry if it becomes law.
