Federal prosecutors: desire to become more muscular may be addictive

Federal prosecutors don’t have sufficient knowledge about anabolic steroids, although they pursue those that manufacture, apply and/or distribute these drugs. They don’t read scientific literature about these drugs. The government uses information that is presented in Wikipedia. However feds speak about unwanted results of steroids, they don’t know about these aspects sufficiently. Citing statements about steroids provided in Wikipedia, they punish consumers/manufacturers/distributors of these products, confirming that these products represent evil.
Certain important questions appear here: Is it fair to base upon information written in Wikipedia in such cases? Are these affirmations true? Aren’t they exposed to manipulations? Aren’t they mixed with personal opinions of contributors?
Maurice Hall, the associate professor of communication and culture at Villanova University, claims that it is not reasonable to base entirely upon affirmations presented in Wikipedia. He claims that Wikipedia serves an excellent guide for footnotes. But information presented in Wikipedia may be not true completely.
For example, when John Isaac Hudelson was sentenced to prison, federal prosecutors based their conclusions connected with illicit operations of this person upon statements cited from Wikipedia. Federal prosecutors confirmed that Hudelson would be sentenced 47-54 months in jail because he took and distributed steroids. Stephen Greubel, the defense attorney for Hudelson, confirmed that 47-54 months in jail were too much for his client. He claimed that Hudelson sold steroids, preparations that differed from such drugs, as amphetamine, methamphetamine, codeine, morphine, etc. The defense attorney affirmed that steroids didn’t cause addiction.
Federal prosecutors noted that John Isaac Hudelson manufactured, applied and distributed steroids to his friends. They confirmed that while steroids didn’t lead to addiction, desire to be muscular could be addictive. Moreover, they added that steroids could cause dangerous unwanted results. All affirmations of feds were based upon those written in Wikipedia.
Ultimately, the government sent Isaac John Hudelson to 37 months in prison.
