Prohormone Ban and Progestins

[BertBolic]

The text of the ban excludes progestins, so I wonder... are non-listed progestin-based prohormones exempt from this ban?

Here is the relevant piece of the text:

H.R.4771 - Designer Anabolic Steroid Control Act of 2014

“(C)(i) Subject to clause (ii), a drug or hormonal substance (other than estrogens, progestins, corticosteroids, and dehydroepiandrosterone) that is not listed in subparagraph (A) and is derived from, or has a chemical structure substantially similar to, 1 or more anabolic steroids listed in subparagraph (A) shall be considered to be an anabolic steroid for purposes of this Act if—
“(I) the drug or substance has been created or manufactured with the intent of producing a drug or other substance that either—
“(aa) promotes muscle growth; or
“(bb) otherwise causes a pharmacological effect similar to that of testosterone; or
“(II) the drug or substance has been, or is intended to be, marketed or otherwise promoted in any manner suggesting that consuming it will promote muscle growth or any other pharmacological effect similar to that of testosterone.

I would imagine some will still fall through some legal loopholes.
For awhile anyway.

I read the way that Bill was written . My take on it is that it is only a matter of time before more is added

Thank goodness for chemist. You can remove the chemical, but not the chemist. They will have to convince every single solitary chemist that exist and/or is in the process of being inspired to be an chemist, to give in to their disinformation. I'm here to tell ya that, that will NEVER HAPPEN! There will ALWAYS BE a chemist in the mix who DOES NOT GIVE IN TO THE BULL!
