This shit actually happened years ago. You can't even mention steroids or ph on their forum now without getting banned. Still not sure why a retailer is held responsible for what the suppliers put in their product and mislabeled. BBB.com doesn't own those companies. Only thing I can think of is if it was somehow proven BBB.com knew what was really in it. All of those companies are banned now. It sucks cuz iforce makes some awesome shit and they have cleaned up their act. BBB.com has the fastest shipping of just about anything other than amazon but I can't get iforce products there so I gotta wait like a week to get my stash.

well bb.com did know what was in it, the ingredients weren't mislabeled (don't know where this 'laced' claim comes from). The FDA just doesn't agree that they qualify as dietary supplements. Back then the forums did have prohormone and anabolic sections. According to the PR, the FDA warned bb.com to remove the products and I guess that is why they were charged, but I don't get why they ignore every other supplement retailer which sells them.

BB.com forums are....well they just are.


Love the thread with the 18 year old getting a stripper for his birthday and his grandma being there in the pics. Class.

This is BS. BB.com has been pretty pro-active about getting rid of a lot of the products that are "pro hormone". Their catalog isn't anywhere near as large as it used to be. Also, the government needs to check themselves before alleging bb.com is selling shit that will harm you. The FDA has approved shit from big-pharma and the food industry giants that have fucked up this nation many times worse.

Being pedantic, but the FDA told them they don't qualify as dietary supplements. BB.com always knew they contained steroids -- that was the point of the products. I only keep pointing this out, because some people -- including the OP -- seem to think products were laced with steroids. The chemicals were listed right on the label. The issue was just whether or not they qualify as supplements or drugs. Most dietary supplements in the BB industry skirt the FDA rules

I wonder if those penis enhancements I get off neogaf has anything illegal in them. All they've done is turn it blue so far.

BB forums are indeed amazing. There are some legit awesome threads there too, the "fat to fit" thread is one of the most inspiring threads you'll visit on the internet.

The obligatory worst date ever post. Some slightly NSFW drawings involved.

Yep, BB gets compared to GAF sometimes because it was obviously opened for it's main subject (bodybuilding vs. videogaming) but it's OT has become legendary and has a great community.

I was going to ask you in the fitness thread but then your post got pushed way back. Did you really try these? I am too lazy to google all the chemical names.
