No whey, man. Them shakes is whey too nice. I canse wheyt to haves one.
You are mixing stuff up. Whey (milk protein) is an ingredient that the FDA permits in food. It's considered "generally recognized as safe."

That doesn't mean the FDA inspects or pre-approves individual products for purity. The FDA reacts after the fact if it turns out a product is tainted or mislabeled. So buyer beware.
The FDA doesn't regulate doping by athletes. In the US, USADA, the NCAA, or other collegiate or high school organizations regulate doping. None of them prohibit whey protein.
