California Bans Synephrine, Ephedra & DHEA For High School Students

SACRAMENTO -

NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS - A bill aimed at curbing high school athletes' use of nutritional supplements also got final approval in the Senate.

The bill, by Sen. Jackie Speier, D-Hillsborough, prohibits student athletes from using ephedra, synephrine and DHEA - three substances that claim to build muscle and increase energy. Health experts question those claims and say the substances can be dangerous.

The bill also requires coaches to take a class on the risks of using anabolic steroids and performance-enhancing supplements.

Speier's bill does not ban common, over-the-counter supplements such as protein powders or creatine.

A 28-8 vote approved Assembly amendments to the bill, sending it to Schwarzenegger, who vetoed similar legislation last year while on the payroll of a magazine publisher that receives advertising revenue from the supplement industry.

The business relationship is now the subject of a state ethics probe. The governor has since ended his financial arrangement with the magazines.

I'm sorry but that is really pathetic.

Glad they didn't ban the whole arsenal, thanks for the report Proverbs.

That's so gay . :wtf: There are thousands of people that die every year in the US from advil and tylenol and those are still on the market. And they dont tell you what those pain killers do to your stomach either.

This only prohibits high school students from buying and using, right?... If so i agree completely but if it is getting rid of them then this is very disappointing... and as for the "class on the risks of using anabolic steroids and performance-enhancing supplements" that would be a wonderful idea... that is if they actually taught about them and not just discussed the dangers and bad aspects and used scare tactics...

Well, the bill was passed, but it styll has to be signed by Arnie... in order for it to become law...

They're investigating the fact that Arnold works (worked) for Weider Publications ... duh, he was doing that before he became governor.. I guess none of them read Muscle & Fitness or Flex..

Geniuses..

Peace..~G
