LOL if you scroll down and read. it says we are considered an unreliable source for the Body Building community. Anyone else ever see this??
WADA just likes to bad-mouth MESO because it doesn't like the articles we've published over the past decade or so that are critical of their morality-based organization.

Here's a sampling:

Steroids + Narcotics = Fuzzy Math

Anabolic Steroids Across the Atlantic – The “Americanization” and Politicization of International Steroid Law

Why Ordinary People Should Fear the World Anti-Doping Agency

International Steroid Morality Police Force Established with WADA and INTERPOL Partnership

WADA, UNESCO and Internationalization of Steroid Law
 
I like the fuzzy math breakdown. If you're inclined, you can spin basically anything for any argument.

Why is there such a draw to have control over anabolics on an international stage? I'm obviously missing something here

It's a good question. It's what morality-based organizations do. They impose what they define as good-bad/right-wrong on everyone else.

It's wild to me that something as benign as testosterone can get people so worked up. Has to be a cash windfall at some point for WADA, money makes the world turn.
 
I saw this the other day.... I didn't remember seeing a date, but if you read it, it's like a manual for how to find sources on forums.

The implications of this are far more sinister.

It means that WADA is surveilling steroid forums. It and law enforcement probably know how to find sources more efficiently than most forum members.

WADA created a database with batches of all URLs of the 13 different forums, scraped and extracted content using import.io to crawl source code of each webpage, and performed semantic and trend analysis.

If WADA-funded researchers have not maintained a continually - revised and updated version, you can be assured that Interpol and/or some federal law enforcement agency has done so.

Highlights
  • Internet forums are a huge data source for studying online doping market.
  • A semi-automatic methodology to extract and detect suppliers and products.
  • Internet forums highlight the promotion and visibility of suppliers.
  • Forums can be used to assess the most popular products and their evolution.
  • Intelligence-led screening is a concept to lead online marketplaces detection.
Despite the predominant role played by Internet in the distribution of doping substances, little is currently known about the online offer of doping products. Therefore, the study focuses on the detection of doping substances and suppliers discussed in Internet forums. It aims at having a comprehensive understanding of products and sellers to lead an operational monitoring of the online doping market.

Thirteen community forums on the Internet were investigated and one million topics were extracted with source code scrappers. Then, a semantic analysis was conducted with a semi-automatic process to classify the relevant words according to doping matters. Additionally, the ranking of doping products, active substances and suppliers in regards to the number of contributors to the forums were established and analyzed over time. Finally, promotion methods of suppliers were evaluated.

The results show that anabolic androgenic steroids, used to enhance body image and performance, are the most discussed type of products. A temporal analysis illustrates the stability of the most popular products as well as the emergence of new products such as peptides (e.g. CJC-1295). 327 suppliers were detected, mostly with dedicated websites or direct sales by e-mail as selling methods.

Globally, the implemented methodology shows its ability to detect products and suppliers as well as to follow their temporal trends. The intelligence will serve the definition of online monitoring strategies (e.g. the selection of appropriate keywords). Additionally, it also allows the adjustment of customs inspection strategies and anti-doping analysis by monitoring the popular and emerging substances.
