I'm honored to be singled out ;)

I'd never heard of Rhodiola Rosea before your post, but a quick persal of Medline tells me there are at least 5 active compunds than can be identified with HPLC: salidroside, rosin, rosavin, rosarin and tyrosol. In this study (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/...p;list_uids=15256690) where a positive ergogenic effect was shown, the extract was standardized for 3% rosavin + 1% salidroside.

I dont see any references to the herb or any of its components in the WADA 2005 booklet, so I'm guessing they're legal to use.
