I don't know enough about them to render judgment on what has motivated their "clean up the business" crusade. Assuming what you say is correct, however, I hope that the message is not disregarded simply because of who the messengers are, because we all know there are plenty of aspects of the sales that need to be cleaned up. Some of the obvious problems (i.e., conflicts of interest, use of steroids, etc.) are things for which regulations can - and should - be drafted.

I agree with you but it is hard to "prove" these things especially when a lot of the people who are drafting the rules, are the ones who are the reason for their existence. The steroids thing is a no brainer though.

No question. The sales companies have little incentive to restrict steroids, for if they did, the commissions they receive would likely fall.
