| Jan 18, 2013 at 19:59 | comment | added | user4644 | @NathanWheeler This is why I like the simple option. Just allow the questions to come in, and let the community decide case-by-case whether or not they're actually fitness related. | |
| Jan 18, 2013 at 19:55 | comment | added | Nathan Wheeler Mod | @MattChan - The main thing is that I don't want someone to have to read some sporting rule book in order to ask a question. I also don't want to have to list out the specific substances we don't discuss. Which is why I like the wording "performance enhancing substances that are illegal, potentially illegal, or banned from competition". | |

| Jan 18, 2013 at 19:49 | comment | added | user4644 | @NathanWheeler, I think the US test would be too US-centric. Our audience is worldwide. | |
| Jan 18, 2013 at 19:47 | comment | added | Nathan Wheeler Mod | @Kate - Usage banned in competition is a pretty good guideline, non-recreational and illegal in the US is another good way to weed them out. | |
| Jan 18, 2013 at 18:46 | comment | added | user4644 | How do you draw the line about "potential" illegality? | |
| Jan 18, 2013 at 18:38 | comment | added | Baarn | Can you stop figuring out in comments, what I was writing in my answer? Please!?! ;) | |
| Jan 18, 2013 at 18:32 | comment | added | JohnP Mod | Oh yeah. Duh. I forgot that, mea culpa. Ok, disregard. | |
| Jan 18, 2013 at 18:30 | comment | added | Nathan Wheeler Mod | But then questions about it either fall under medical advice, or the rules of a sport. The "rules of a sport" questions are already off-topic as per the FAQ | |
| Jan 18, 2013 at 18:27 | comment | added | JohnP Mod | I don't know if you could make it completely off topic though. I can see legitimate questions about illegal drugs. Use testosterone as an example. Under the WADA code, if you can prove that you have a true medical case of hypogonadism, backed up by tests/doctors/history, then you can legally take testosterone and still compete. I think we need to address more the tone of the question. So, questions like "How do I get and use testosterone to get bigger" would be OT, but "I have hypogonadism, can I still compete with testosterone supplementation" would be ok. | |
