as of January 15, 2005 an incredibly long list of prohormones were added to
the registry of controlled substances. This was effected in the Anabolic Steroid Control Act of 2004.

and pharmacologically related to testosterone (other than estrogens, progestins, corticosteroids, and
dehydroepiandrosterone)"
Notice that inclusive legislative term "any hormonal substance"...
and in
case there is any ambiguity, "`(xlx) any salt, ester, or ether of a drug or substance described in this
paragraph"
And in a burst of love for all,... "(2) consider amending the Federal sentencing guidelines to
provide for increased penalties with respect to offenses involving anabolic steroids in a manner that reflects the
seriousness of such offenses and the need to deter anabolic steroid trafficking and use; and..."
Wonderful,
just wonderful....

substances with entirely different goals... they may take the position that pheromones are structurally close
enough, they are chemically related to testosterone, and that is that.
