Pro Bodybuilder Quincy Taylor Endorses Epistane
Posted on 14:10 March 21st, 2008 by Millard Baker
IFBB Pro Bodybuilder Quincy Taylor stepped into a public relations nightmare when he publicly announced on Bodybuilding.com that he was paid by IBE (Innovative Body Enhancement) to endorse Epistane. Epistane is a synthetic designer steroid that is prohibited by World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and that is problematic since the IFBB is a signatory to the WADA Code. According to William Llewellyn of Body of Science, Epistane is an unapproved new drug that is illegal to sell under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA).
The fact remains, however, that synthetic designer steroids are considered unapproved new drugs, and are NOT covered by DSHEA as legal dietary supplements…
Andro, norandro etc were covered by DSHEA because you could find them in most animals, and hence in the food supply. No animals, plants, etc naturally produce DMT, Epistane, methyl, 1-4ADD, etc etc.
It should be noted that Quincy’s new sponsor IBE disagrees since other supplement companies selling it (everyone else is doing it). Quincy Taylor also states that Epistane is legal and notes that steroids are not sold in supplement stores and supplements are not sold in pharmacies.
A legal supplement sold over the counter at many fine supplement stores. Funny my pharmacy never sold epistane, haladrol, phera or any of those. I’ve never seen any of those in any pharmacy. Hmmm I only seen to find them sold legally at supplement stores. So if I go out on the street with Haladrol and get pulled over will I be arrested? This is a foolish conversation and this is where it ends. That’s my answer.
