Besides, isn't ephedrine considered a Schedule III drug in Ireland? 2 years ago I went over there to run in a marathon, and I researched the legality of ephedrine in Ireland.

I was told that it IS considered a drug there ... so I couldn't bring my pre-run boost of Ultimate Orange drink.

But some of the "hardcore" gyms over there (and the occasional supplement store ... I think the one that is on a side street just off McConnell St. is a good one) do carry products with names like Chest-Eze and DoDo's that reportedly contain ephedra.
