well that might be the case yeahright, but find me a state trooper who is going to arrest you for something like a bottle of havoc. i just dont really see a state trooper taking a bro into custody for a bottle of epistane in his glove compartment. there just really no correlation between this new fed law and the old state steroid laws.
besides, i doub anything like this new resembles testosterone/steroid BS is going to fly. by the definition in that law cholesterol is a ****ing banned substance. lets be seriousl
Go ask PA. He went to prison for distributing a substance that was presumably perfectly legal at the time (because he essentially invented it and there was no law against it).
Ask the owners of all the big supplement companies what their lawyers told them (notice how they ALL stopped producing these products).
What we have now are small companies and shell companies flying under the radar. At some point, the feds will turn their attention back to this corner of the industry and a lot of people will be wearing orange jumpsuits.
When a court is interpreting the law, they will look at legislative intent (what did the legislators writing the law intend the law to do). Here, the record is quite clear that Congress intended to stop the game where producers simply scanned the list of banned substances and then started producing things not listed. The current law is meant precisely to outlaw testosterone variations used for anabolic purposes. So no, cholesterol is not illegal. However, prostanozol certainly would be.
You don't have to believe a thing I say. It's comforting to believe that there is some playground rule protecting these products (no tag backs, can't touch me while I'm in the safe zone, etc.). However, that's simply not the case.
Any prosecutor looking to make a name for himself could use that law to fill jail cells. Do you think a jury is going to acquit someone for producing designer steroids because they tweaked their product to avoid producing one on the enumerated list? Not a chance. Waive jury trial and take your chances before a judge - the judge is going to examine congressional intent.
Retail users have a few defenses they could make but the producers much less so.
Legal analysis is complicated. That's why people get paid to do it for a living. Your analysis is mostly wishful thinking. We're enjoying a quiet time right now because govt. attention shifted elsewhere but that could change if the next Mitchell report states that baseball players are taking these OTC designer steroids. Once the media spotlight shines on this corner of the industry, things are going to get ugly fast. Local police will suddenly understand what these products are. State stautes will be quickly amended. IMHO, it's just a matter of time.
ose: what is a good way to combat the shutdown??
