That's what you get with a leftist government like the French have. Be warned - Mr. Clinton signed us up on the SAME BILL that has put supplements under the gun in Europe for the United States. It's called the CODEX. If we don't fall in line with Europe they have the right to impose embargo's on us. Someday soon creatine may be illegal to buy here too.

I know stereotyping is wrong but the French people are weak in general. Not all of them.. just most.

Wrong. its weak people (liberals) who don't like AAS and supplements because it allows stronger people to be better. Liberals hav ethe mentality that if they cna't be something no one else should be, they're kids.

Lol.. Republicans are the strong people?? Wow that's real good!

[ward065]

regardless of politics, i don't see why the government tries to limit people only trying to develop their bodies further!

I mean seriously, where's the logic? It makes sense that the government wants to stop people from destroying their bodies, for example banning cocaine, heroin etc. But even those people who want to take those drugs enough get them anyway.

The UK's laws are much better though for people wanting to get better bodies

Partison politics aside here gentlemen, both of you are in a sense...wrong. While it seems that both conservatives and liberals constantly take opposite sides on issues the use of AAS is actually an issue both parties agree on, meaning that both parties arent particulary "fans" of it...but the real question is why is it in the media so much and why the hell is Congress so siced about steroids in baseball ? I mean seriously, Congress is consuming itself with something as important as steroids in Baseball instead of messing with those trivial things like Iraq, Social Security, Rising Gas Prices, the economy, Illegal Aliens, etc. Oh and one more thing, the GOP is actually putting the pressure on steroids and baseball much more so than the dems...
