These people are surely barmy to be playing fast and loose with a drug that even Glaxo decided wasn't safe.

None of the PEDs are "safe" in this context

Even an approved drug when used outside the intended formulary will have side effects and be detrimental to health.

Quite often the use of these "new" drugs is because you have a time window before they are detected and / or added to the banned list

"clinical approval has not, and will not be given for this substance"
The point is that it is never safe even when administered by medics.

The point I made was that none of the PEDS are "safe" when used out of Formulary.

EPO for instance is not approved for use with the dosing levels used for performance enhancement due to the increased toxicity, and morbidity in athletes using it

Whether you choose to harm yourself using an unlicensed drug, or a licensed one is exactly the same decision making process. They are "barmy" to play fast and loose with either.
