Firstly, are the claims for real? Anyone out there taking it who can back up anything that the makers claim it does?
Secondly, is it legal? It seems to be on a par with Creatine which, as far as I can ascertain from other threads on this forum, is not banned.
Finally, are there any hazards to taking something like this?

Well, creatine isn't banned, if you count that as legit.
In 2000, my wife said there was only herself and maybe two other athletes on the entire team that were not using creatine. I'm surprised that anyone in board positions of USAS or USMS would consider it cheating.
As far as the negative effects, there are thousands of studies that have shown creatine to be safe and effective in individuals with healthy kidneys. There is additional research that shows in people who are predisposed with kidney ailments, that it can increase the severity of those problems.
Nathan, I guess I was trying to say that perhaps folks should not really consider it "cheating" to use it if it is not dangerous etc. The same way as a fastskin helps and is not dangerous...I don't think skins are cheating, they are an artificial aid though...but if everyone is doing it and nobody is getting hurt...so be it. For me it's not the steroids but the fact that it forces others to risk compromising their health and use them too if they want to keep pace.
