The United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) today commended the U.S. Department of Justice Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) for classifying three steroids as “anabolic steroids” under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), but warned that the regulatory process is too lengthy and cumbersome to keep pace with the continuing flood of dangerous precursors and steroids being introduced to the market.

This new effort, called “Supplement Safety Now,” will work to eliminate the practice of selling dangerous products containing steroids and other drugs as “safe and legal” dietary supplements.
