[SIZE=-1]The United States Anti-Doping Agency is teaming up with the NFL, Major League Baseball and other sports organizations to pressure the federal government to crack down on rogue companies that manufacture supplements spiked with steroids and other banned substances.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]USADA's "Supplement Safety Now" campaign won't ask Congress to repeal the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, the 1994 law that allows supplement manufacturers to sell products without testing them for safety or effectiveness. But the campaign will seek modifications to DSHEA and other federal laws to make it more difficult for companies to sell steroid-tainted supplements online and through mainstream retail outlets.

[SIZE=-1]USADA chief executive officer Travis Tygart said the campaign will also ask lawmakers to provide more resources to the Food and Drug Administration and other regulators. [/SIZE]
