In Europe pretty much vitamins are MD prescription only (Codex). I think McCain and some others are wanting to do that here.

You just quoted his side of the story. The indictment says otherwise:
"A 45-count indictment unsealed on Sept. 7, 2006, alleged that Wheat, Hi-Tech and other company officials and associates conspired to manufacture “generic” prescription drugs and other controlled substances, including anabolic steroids, in Belize and illegally import them into the United States. It further alleged that they marketed the products as generic prescription drugs from Canada directly to U.S. citizens through various Web sites, and also engaged in mail fraud and wire fraud."
You don't know what really happened. The company could very well have violated the law. Also, you mention McCain twice, and the article does not mention him at all. The FDA, DEA and Dept. of Justice were operating under current law in this indictment, not anything you imagine McCain to be doing. Are you an Obama plant or something?
