Your thoughts on the banning of 'andro'

The FDA yesterday moved to halt sales of androstenedione, the dietary supplement marketed as a muscle enhancer that Mark McGwire acknowledged using during the 1998 season, when he hit a then-record 70 home runs.

An estimated $15 million worth of the product was sold last year, but the sales of andro products actually peaked in 2001. Some say the FDA's action was too little too late. Patrick Rea, research director for the Nutrition Business Journal asks: "Is it just a nice card to play in an election year?"
