"The tentacles of the federal crackdown on over-the-counter nutritional supplements laced with anabolic steroids reached into San Diego County last week, when a Vista company was raided amid suspicions it is manufacturing and selling illegal substances.
A search warrant affidavit issued Sept. 24 for iFORCE Nutrition's Vista offices and warehouse at 1305 Hot Spring Way appears to be part of a larger federal probe into tainted supplements. That day, the Idaho headquarters of Bodybuilding.com — believed to be the largest online national distributor of supplements — also was raided.
“These are significant steps, but unfortunately even after these raids you can still purchase Madol on places like Amazon.com , like we did on Sunday,” said Travis Tygart, CEO of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. “The fact that the FDA has no notice on any of the ingredients coming into the market doesn't allow them to effectively regulate them."
