I hope they both lose

Sometimes you witness a competition and you root against both sides. This suit epitomizes the problem with dietary supplements - Andro firms to face lawsuits in at least 6 states: Attorneys seeking class-action status

The suits, which also allege these companies are committing fraud because andro does not work, are being filed on behalf of all people who have bought andro products from the companies.

...

According to the suits, the companies claim their andro products "are effective at promoting muscle growth, are legal and are proven to be effective."

"We believe the makers and sellers of andro are caught in a Catch-22," Lynch said. "If andro works, they are criminally liable, and if andro doesn't work, they are liable for civil damages."

Blah, blah, blah - why do we not have some regulation of these snake oil salemen? But why do we need another lawsuit?
