correction, only the creation. Until they have a full proof product with no side effects, governments wouldn't dare allow it but why shouldn't they keep trying. USA allow the use though don't they? My friend went to LA for only a few months and came back ripped, i don't know what he took though.
No its not allowed in the U.S. They are substances which are unregulated by the FDA thus putting them in the same category as illegal narcotics. But unless you are peddling large volumes to people I doubt the severity of the trafficking is the same as narcotics.
But I still stand by my statement of enhancements becoming regulated and legalized. If you think about the stuff people use currently such as creatine, animal protein injections, B12 injections, etc.. These were all once considered taboo. But as science/medicine and conventional thinking progress and evolve these performance enhancers became regulated, legalized and are now merely a stepping stool for those who really train.
At the end of the day its all about money, so once the FDA has a changing of the guard per se, they will see that there is A LOT of cash to be made if they regulate this stuff so they will modify their rules/regulations and requirements for performance enhancers, which will send a beacon out to the pharmaceutical companies around the world to develop (they most likely are already developed) a designer enhancer. Once the submissions come in from the thousands of Pharm companies, the FDA will make their tweaks as well as suggest tweaks to the Pharm companies on their product. And finally the FDA will slap their label on the bottle, jar, etc as they do with everything on shelves and voila! Now you have steroids and perfomance enhancers which were previously banned on all accounts.
All it takes is a little bit of time. Keep in mind that most of the members of these athletic competition boards (Olympic committee, FIFA, NFL, etc..) are old people from a different time where science and technology had no part in sports or any reflection on the field. Once these people are replaced the old mentality and short-sightedness will gone as well. It takes progressive minds to do progressive things.
