After the doors reopened, the industry seemed to get much of what it wanted. Archer accepted several industry positions, including ephedrine-dosage limits of 25 mg a serving and 100 mg a day--much higher than the limits favored by Archer's specialists, who cite evidence of ill health effects at significantly lower doses. Participants also agreed to let a smaller task force, including lawyers from an industry coalition headed by Ellis, work with Archer to tackle the remaining issues. According to notes obtained by TIME, they decided on what can only be called a rather unbalanced division of labor...

Urged by his staff to press for stricter limits, he told the industry task force that he wanted to allow no more than 10 mg a serving and 40 mg a day. The industry said those restrictions would wipe its products off the market. The task force asked for an audience with Archer. On Oct. 2, Ellis, Wentworth and Jonas contributed a total of $10,000 to Bush's re-election campaign, followed three days later by $5,000 from another Metabolife official, Michael Blevins.

...libido and energy level bottomed out a few years ago. I felt I was getting old fast at the still somewhat young age of 53. Now, thankfully, my doctor has me on a 150-mg shot of testosterone every two weeks. After more than a year of this regimen, I feel much more energetic and look great.

...several times a day. Overuse of any testosterone product can result in levels of testosterone well above the upper-normal range that provide no known benefit and may increase the risk of side effects. Your report also stated that the daily dose of the gel could provide 10 mg to 40 mg of testosterone. In fact, a single dose of AndroGel delivers between 5 mg and 10 mg of the hormone, depending on the amount prescribed. Men who have normal levels of testosterone should not use any testosterone product. It is a powerful hormone whose usage requires the supervision...
