Arnold Schwarzenegger Watch: Governor Signs Bill Barring Nutritional Supplements

Central Valley law enforcement officials watch as California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, center, signs rural crime prevention bill SB 453 during a ceremony in his office at the Capitol in Sacramento, Calif., Tuesday, Oct. 4, 2005. The author of the bill, Sen. Charles Poochigian, R-Fresno, is at the right.

The ASSociated Press has Schwarzenegger Signs Supplement Use Bill.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Friday signed a bill barring high school athletes from using certain nutritional supplements, a year after he vetoed similar legislation.

The law prohibits high school athletes from taking three nutritional supplements: synephrine, ephedra and DHEA. It also requires students to sign a pledge not to use the supplements, and bars supplement manufacturers from sponsoring school events.

The Republican governor vetoed similar legislation last year, but Schwarzenegger spokeswoman Margita Thompson said this year’s version corrected flaws in the old bill. She said the banned substances were not clearly defined in the earlier version.

The Governor did the RIGHT thing in signing the legislation.

But, the LEFT will say that he was pressured to sign the bill because of the exposure of his contracts with muscle magazines.

Doubtful……..
