Re: Alpha Male Challenge - the 10 week Challenge to increase testosterone, burn fat, We're excited to share what we've learned over the course of decades with your members through Alpha Male Challenge. Thanks, George!

Well over 1,000 respondents now.

The survey can take up to an hour to complete, so sabotage seems unlikely. For integrity's sake, I am hopeful that those on BOTH sides of this issue will refrain from "stuffing the ballot box" or misrepresenting anything. The scientific value of a study like this for ALL concerned is to let...

The secure and anonymous survey is now available at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=24421220271. Please take the time to complete this crucial step toward educating America about the truths associated with AAS usage. There are many questions -- please be patient and complete the full...

The survey is receiving final touches to maximize the value of the data. It should be ready within the next 48 hours, at which time the link will be published. The researcher, a doctoral student, extends his appreciation to all those who have indicated they will fill out the survey when it is...

I was contacted by a psych doctoral student who has started an anonymous Internet survey regarding AAS usage. I've had extensive discussions with him, and am persuaded that he is sincere both in his objectivity about the topic and in his desire to get the data published in a peer-reviewed...

My humble thanks for all the kind words, and for all the support of "Legal Muscle." I'll continue speaking out against hysteria and in favor of an objective and rational discussion of non-medical steroid use, and posting the latest news on the subject at www.steroidlaw.com. Best to all at EF...

Sorry I can't stop by more often, but thought I'd offer an update: My testimony was well received. Both the written and oral testimony may be accessed through www.steroidlaw.com. The result: no increase in guidelines penalties at this time. Below is the communication I received from the...

Hey, friends! Sorry for my long absence, but work has exponentially increased. For anybody who hasn't heard already, the President has signed a bill to re-define many prohormones (and pro-steroids) to be illegal anabolic steroids. Scheduled to take effect in late January 2005, the new law...

What happens varies widely by location, individual inspectors, etc., and slaps on the wrists DO happen. However, the draconan punishment you describe is something I've seen before, too. But read pages 115 - 116 of LEGAL MUSCLE to hear how a $72,784 "Payment in Lieu of Forfeiture" (more than...

I've long been considering the legalities of "research only" chemicals. The interview I gave last year (posted on this site and others, including my own site at www.steroidlaw.com) expressed my concerns and still provides a good view of the legal landscape. Getting all panicky isn't going to...

I've long been considering the legalities of "research only" chemicals. The interview I gave last year (posted on this site and others, including my own site at www.steroidlaw.com) expressed my concerns and still provides a good view of the legal landscape. How much (if any) valuable (and...

It was only a matter of time until the FDA started looking more closely at foreign med imports. Among them, as you'll see, are hGH and ancillary meds. http://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/NEWS/2004/NEW01011.html This seems to have been primarily a data-collecting operation. But I don't see this...

All of your many questions are answered on previous posts on this board, and are covered in great detail in LEGAL MUSCLE available through this site. Be aware that "if you get something shipped and it comes internationally and it gets seized they just send you a letter right sayign they took...
