Amy Shipley's article = done

blam · 10-18-2005, 09:13 AM

Well, the like the dirty rat she is (we already expected this) Shipley has finished her little attempt at 15 minutes of fame.
Her "piece" is far from the truth and she did exactly what we knew she would do in regards to bending the truth and spinning lies.

She is saving the world from people trying to get fit and healthy. What a noble thing she has done

what a vile, ignorant wench.

"One contained a steroid that came to the attention of authorities just two years ago but, until now, was thought to be in only limited circulation"I wonder which one she is talking about? I am going to guess ErgoMax since If I remember correctly, I remember reading about it being essentialy DMT (desoxymethyltestosterone). If I remember correctly.

Well as long as we support the supplement companies and they have the funds to continue, hopefully this statement will hold true... And Congress can't just say "No supplements of any kind can be sold anymore", and that's basically what it will take I think. If they DO go that route, I'll be finding another country in which to reside... To hell with my freedoms being opressed by a bunch of rich lardasses who support burger king and mcdonald's til the death...

Not a bad idea.

Or perhaps fear / stupidity? I don't know, but it makes no sense why people can support big tobacco, alcohol, and McDonald's when the #1 cause of death of teenagers is automobile crashes, usually alcohol related, and the top killer of middle - older age people is heart disease / lung cancer, caused greatly by fast food (bad diets) and cigarettes... Yet there have been NO deaths linked to AAS, and supplements aren't even in the same sport as steroids, much less ballpark. Just thinking about the way this country works is enough to make me completely enraged sometimes...

Not good news.

You just said what most of us are thinking. I was anyways. Good post.

True, but one common underlying trend I've noticed is that Congress usually doesn't crack down until one of the following happens due to the use of these products:

-Someone dies
-Some famous athlete is busted for use of one of the products

Basically anything that would warrant negative media attention. It has taken that for them to REALLY crack down, up to this point, and I'm hoping this continues. If it doesn't, we'll all be on test / dbol and the black market will be making the money, I really hope Amy Shipley realizes that moot point...

Also, kudos to Author L. Rea for, what I thought was GREAT P.R.:

We feel our products are correctly [and legally] marketed to and for educated, intelligent adult men."

And as long as our chemists have the means to research, I'm going to keep a positive outlook and not let this try to piss me off to much, because we all know what a bitch stress is

Make ban list --> Research & Develop new products --> Update ban list --> Research & Develop More --> Repeat

Support your supplement companies and know who's on your side is the best thing we can all do!

Disclaimer: I am in no way affiliated with any supplement development company of any kind, this is just how I feel about the situation, not an adversitement or sales gimmick

Also as said on bodybuilding.com as new products develop due to the ban list it will become gradually more toxic

There may be some truth to this, I can see how some would make that assumption, but aren't there some products under development now that are non-methylated and less toxic than the current ones we have out? I've been going natural (protein only) since july after my first SD cycle so I'm not up on what all supps are out, so correct me if I'm wrong...

I just tend to scoff at about 90% of what I read on bb.com, I usually go there for a good laugh, that's about it.

**Beowulf** · 10-18-2005, 11:54 AM

Nice one-sided reporting, bitch!

I think the time is definitely up for the products mentioned. If anyone has seen recent Legal Gear ads you would no time is just about up anyways. Those donkies have a new ad in MD that reads "Legal Gear Releases its New Legal Prohormones"

They are as much an enemy to the industry as the ignorant, biased woman who wrote that story.

BTW, that open letter was posted at non other than AM.

However, I've seen a few threads on bb.com regarding mega-dosing prostan @ 400mg/day...

Sorry for straying off topic btw, don't want to turn this into another "bash bb.com" thread...

Not surprising... I haven't been around in awhile, so I wasn't aware. But that should've been expected since this is the best bb board I've seen on the net...

WhutEvr · 10-18-2005, 12:10 PM

It's not just the manufacturers that are hosing it up with their ads.
There's a Nutrition City (local chain) store outside of a large mall a few miles from me that has a huge sign up announcing that they have "legal steroids" for sale.
Talk about stupidity.

**Mass_69** · 10-18-2005, 12:21 PM

Grammar was terrible for someone wanting their 15 minutes as a "Breaking News" reporter. Instances of misused quotations, and lines like "Prostanozoland Ergomax LMG," (meant to be "Prostanozol and Ergomax LMG"). And she does this for a living. Looks like she's not too much better at research.

Well Ms. Shipley, I hope you're proud.

snakebyte05 · 10-18-2005, 01:01 PM

That women is a complete dipshit. First of all when did it become the governments job to stop everyone from using a substance just because the 1% that are in sports might use it. What the **** is up with our country and making the majority the minority. We get rules slapped on us to stop the very few out there from breaking the rules. Our country is ****ed up. And whenever i try to explain to others about this, they just look at me. Today its something I love, tomorrow its something the rest love. Eventually everyone will understand; I wonder what will happen when we realize we are trying to be controlled in every way. (at least Ill be able to get a double-cheeseburger when that day comes)

Apowerz6 · 10-18-2005, 01:07 PM

It seems like these companies wont mention any names cough LEGAL GEAR, GASPARI !!! have not learned, you cannot advertise in such a reckless manner, in no way am i pointing fingers, but truthfully things like that are in open view are open for discussion. Just as it seems like i can get some serious size from legal supps, they are going to be yanked AGAIN !!! why because PROSTEROIDS are back !!! Damn this pisses me off, and i cannot help but wonder what America has against us "users" who want to look better, and use the means to get the look we want.
