Below is the list of banned substances included in the Anabolic Steroid Control Act of 2004 introduced in the House:
As you can see, it covers much more than just androstenedione.
Essentially every currently legal androgen is covered.
And the last stanza of the bill which states:
"any salt, ester, or ether of a drug or substance described in this paragraph" pretty much covers any variants not specifically named.
`(A) The term `anabolic steroid' means any drug or hormonal substance, chemically and pharmacologically related to testosterone (other than estrogens, progestins, corticosteroids, and dehydroepiandrosterone), and includes--
`(i) androstanediol--

Note, a different version of the bill has already been introduced in the Senate. If and when they both pass the floors of the respected houses of congress, they will go to final committee and any discrepancies between the two versions will be worked out and then sent to the President to be signed or vetoed.
