Andy Reid’s son possessed steroids

Garrett Reid, a son of the coach Andy Reid, was found unconscious at his dormitory room. However Omar Elkhamra, the team physician of the Philadelphia Eagles, put efforts to revive him, the efforts of the physician turned out to be in vain. The county coroner claimed that this young person (29 years old) died of a heroin overdose.
Garrett Reid’s death was a real tragedy for the family of Andy Reid. Moreover, the case caused certain problems for the Philadelphia Eagles. The football players had to clear themselves from suspicions related to steroid use. Several anabolic steroids were found by local police officers in the dormitory of Garret Reid. Moreover, syringes and needles were found in his possession too. The steroids were identified by police. It was revealed that Garrett Reid possessed Nandrolone Phenylpropionate, Boldenone Undecylenate, Testosterone Propionate and Trenbolone Acetate. Since these preparations were found at Garrett Reid’s dormitory room, certain suspicions arose. It was noted that the coach’s son probably provided these banned medicines to members of the Philadelphia Eagles. So, Garrett Reid’s death turned out to be a trouble for the total sport organization.
Some of steroids found at Garrett Reid’ dormitory room are fast-acting. These preparations are commonly liked by sportspersons that submit to drug testing. Since they are excreted from the body in short period of time after administration, it is more difficult to catch those who have taken these products. Thus, it is suspected that such products must have been applied by players of the Philadelphia Eagles.
However suspicions are pronounced, nothing has been proven. It was not disclosed yet whether anabolic steroids were found in the body of Garrett Reid.
The NFL spokesman assured that he would report when it will be clear whether steroids found in Garrett Reid’s dormitory room were connected with Philadelphia Eagles.

Less than 1% of college athletes are caught violating anti-doping rules

A few college sportspersons are caught using forbidden medications. Does it mean that they don’t take doping products? Less than 1% of college football players have been caught violating anti-doping rules. They have tested positive for anabolic steroids and/or other doping products. Such situation must convince anti-doping agencies that they win in the fight against doping. But certain suspicions arise. It is believed that many college football players apply steroids and/or other related medicines but they avoid detection successfully.
Why do such suspicions appear? Changes in physique of college football players cause controversial affirmations. Thus, changes in body mass of more than 61,000 college football players were lately analyzed by the Associated Press. Results showed that a lot of college football players enhanced their body mass in short period of time evidentially. More than 20 pounds were gained by over 4,500 college football players during a year. Moreover, near 100 individuals enhanced the body mass by over 80 pounds during a year. As you see, the gains were obvious.
Some experts assure that these aspects should not trouble anti-doping officials. They affirm that anti-doping agencies shouldn’t subject college football players to drug tests just because they have enhanced body weight obviously.
But other specialists have another point of view. Although they agree that it is impossible to affirm that certain football players have taken steroids and/or other related medications, basing only on changes in body mass, they note that the changes may be a factor which causes suspicions linked with intake of steroids. So, such persons that have enhanced body mass in short time should be subjected to steroid testing.
Some college football players that increased body mass significantly in short period of time were asked about their changes. The football players affirmed that they had never taken any prohibited products. They claimed that they reached such dramatic changes naturally. The college athletes noted that they had consumed much food for this purpose. So, they claimed that such significant results were achieved by them with the help of appropriate diets. According to them, it was not difficult to gain many pounds in short period of time.

Remedies to prevent hair loss while taking steroids

Anabolic steroids are widely applied in medicine and in bodybuilding and sports. Numerous individuals administer these drugs in order to improve their health. These drugs are indicated for treatment of some diseases. Moreover, many sportspersons and bodybuilders use steroids in order to enhance muscle mass, get strength, restore exercise-damaged muscles, etc. But some individuals are not ready to assume certain risks related to these drugs. It is known that steroids may cause certain undesirable effects. One of adverse results of these preparations is hair loss. Thus, certain persons try to avoid application of steroids because they don’t want to experience this side reaction. Furthermore, several individuals have genetic predisposition to this problem. If they use certain steroids, they may face baldness.
Fortunately, several adverse effects of steroids may be prevented or at least reduced and cured. As for hair loss, there are certain products which can help to prevent this problem. There are also such drugs that are capable to promote re-growth of hair. Those that have to apply steroids may apply certain remedies to prevent hair loss or cause re-growth of hair. Which drugs are useful for this need?
Since hair loss occurs because of enhanced levels of dihydrotestosterone, certain individuals use Propecia that blocks dihydrotestosterone and prevents hair loss. But this is not the best medicine for prevention of hair loss while applying anabolic steroids. Blocking of dihydrotestosterone by this medication may cause sexual problems.
Rogaine, Retin-A and Lattisse may be useful. The FDA has approved Rogaine for treatment of hair loss. Rogaine may be taken together with Retin-A or Latisse. Rogaine and Latisse can prevent hair loss which may occur because of steroids. When it comes to Latisse, it is approved by the FDA for eyelash growth. But it is not approved by the FDA to be used in case of hair loss. Nonetheless, it is affirmed by some experts that this product may be administered for re-growth of hair successfully.

Should steroids be demonized for kidney failure?

Anabolic steroids are frequently blamed for various diseases of users. Undoubtedly, these medications may lead to some undesirable reactions. Nevertheless, steroids are frequently blamed without any reason. It is affirmed frequently by the media that these drugs cause different health problems, crimes, deaths. But it is necessary to comprehend essence of these drugs and see when these medications should not be demonized.
Let analyze two cases. One of the cases is linked with the former American bodybuilder Flex Wheeler. Another situation is linked with another former bodybuilder Luke Wood.
The former American bodybuilder Flex Wheeler experienced kidney dysfunctions. This person submitted to a kidney transplant. Since he used anabolic steroids, the media decided to demonize these medications for kidney dysfunctions of Flex Wheeler. In fact, Flex Wheeler had a hereditary kidney disease. Undoubtedly, application of steroids contributed to the complications. But did the bodybuilder take anabolic steroids correctly? Did he follow reasonable instructions linked with doses and duration of usage? No, he didn’t. Flex Wheeler used too enhanced doses of steroids. Moreover, he applied these medications long period of time. In addition to these conditions, the former American bodybuilder took also other medications that had negative influence on his kidneys. So, anabolic steroids should not be blamed for Flex Wheeler’s disease.
As it has been already mentioned, another situation is related to the former bodybuilder Luke Wood. He died after a kidney transplant, being a young person. The media also chose to demonize anabolic steroids in this situation. It was affirmed that steroids caused kidney disorders in Luke Wood. But you should be informed that Luke Wood used not only steroids. He administered also insulin, pain drugs, DNP and other products which influenced on the kidneys negatively. Thus, it is impossible to affirm that anabolic steroids were responsible for his kidney failure and death.
According to many experts, if steroids are used appropriately, serious kidney dysfunctions don’t occur.

Mark McGwire will never be voted for Hall of Fame

Mark McGwire, an American baseball player and coach acknowledged that he had applied steroids and HGH.
There are many points of view that are connected with the baseball player’s admission. According to numerous persons, Mark McGwire admitted to administering banned medications because he desired to return to professional baseball.
Being interviewed, Mark McGwire stated lately that he made a mistake when he decided to take steroids. But the baseball player and coach noticed that he had used anabolic steroids not for enhancement of performance. Mark McGwire claimed that he had used anabolic steroids and HGH only for medical purposes.
It is interesting to notice that when Mark McGwire admitted to administering prohibited preparations, his fans and other individuals were not surprised at all. Why were not they surprised? They were aware of it. Certain individuals revealed that Mark McGwire took steroids before he made the admission. A FBI informant said that the American baseball player had bought Testosterone Cypionate, Testosterone Enanthate, Equipose and Winstrol from the steroid dealer Curtis Wenzlaff and used these products.
Another individual that reported about application of steroids by Mark McGwire was the “godfather of steroids” Jose Canseco. He noted that he injected Mark McGwire with steroids. But the “godfather” of steroids in baseball was not the first individual who helped Mark McGwire to apply anabolic steroids. Jay, Mark’s brother, was the first person who injected the baseball player with anabolic steroids.
However Mark McGwire revealed that he had applied steroids, he said nothing about affirmations provided by his brother, Jose Canseco and the FBI informant. He didn’t disclose whether these statements were true or not.
Mark McGwire notices that he knows that he will never enter the Baseball Hall of Fame. Moreover, the admitted steroid user says that he will never fight to be there. Mark McGwire has respect to all rules linked with baseball. He realizes that those that have ever taken forbidden drugs must not be elected for the Hall of Fame.

New England Compounding Center manufactured contaminated steroids

Over 500 individuals were contaminated with fungal meningitis after they had applied Methylprednisolone injections produced by the New England Compounding Center (NECC). Over 30 individuals died from this condition. Nobody must have doubted that the contamination turned out to be a great tragedy for several individuals and their families. Nevertheless, anti-doping organizations decided to benefit from the situation. What did they do? They started demonizing anabolic steroids. It was noticed by the media that anabolic steroids could cause the life-threatening illness fungal meningitis.
Lately the Bay County Sheriff’s Office conducted an investigation related to illicit manufacture of anabolic steroids. It learnt that anabolic steroids were produced by an underground lab in unsterile conditions. The Bay County Sheriff’s Office affirmed that they conducted the investigation in order to prevent contamination with fungal meningitis in future. According to the Bay County Sheriff’s Office, if a person takes anabolic steroids produced in unsterile conditions, he/she has a risk to get fungal meningitis.
In fact, the Bay County Sheriff’s Office displayed own ignorance related to anabolic steroids and risks linked with contamination with fungal meningitis. One may get fungal meningitis, if he/she applies preparations that are injected directly into the central nervous system. Methylprednisolone Acetate injections are administered into the central nervous system. That’s why these contaminated corticosteroids led to the fungal meningitis outbreak. When it comes to anabolic steroids, they are not injected into the central nervous system. They are mainly injected into muscles. That’s why it is impossible to face fungal meningitis while applying anabolic steroids. If you take anabolic steroids that are produced in unsterile conditions, you may face certain additional health problems. But you will never get contaminated with fungal meningitis while applying anabolic steroids for medical or even for athletic needs.  
So, the fungal meningitis outbreak resulted from intake of contaminated Methylprednisolone Acetate injections turned out to be just a condition to blame anabolic steroids.  Note, please: Methylprednisolone Acetate is not an anabolic steroid. It belongs to corticosteroids.

Tammy Thomas realized that she acted wrongly, when she used THG

Tammy Thomas, a former American cyclist, took the steroid THG. As a result, she was banned from sports forever.
Tammy Thomas desired to take part in the 2004 Olympic Games. So, the cyclist decided to apply performance-enhancing drugs to increase her performance and make her dreams related to the Olympic Games real. But since she was caught administering forbidden medicines, she was not allowed to take part in the Olympics.
Tammy Thomas was charged with lying to the Grand Jury. She turned out to be targeted during the BALCO investigation. It was affirmed that Tammy Thomas didn’t say truth about application of anabolic steroids and getting of THG. While she was accused of lying to the Grand Jury, she provided certain arguments in order to defend herself against the accusations.
Tammy Thomas affirmed that she hadn’t applied any banned medicine. Actually, she said truth. At that time THG was not written on the list of forbidden products. It was considered to be just an unapproved new medication. THG was elaborated by the scientist Patrick Arnold.
While the BALCO foundation sold THG to many athletes, it was stated that Tammy Thomas obtained this product from Patrick Arnold. But the female cyclist denied this affirmation. Ultimately, she claimed that Patrick Arnold’s former girlfriend supplied her with THG.
The arguments of Tammy Thomas were not accepted. She was given a home detection of 6 months and probation of 5 years.
The American cyclist repented completely. She acknowledged that she acted wrongly. So, she decided to alter her life. Being a religious woman, Tammy Thomas believes that God has certain plan linked with her life. She noticed that she would do anything in order to act so, as God whishes. She founded a fitness center and decided to help others to keep their health.

Mariusz Wach was caught using steroids

It was affirmed by the German newspaper Bild that Mariusz Wach, a polish boxer, failed drug testing. This person tested positive for anabolic steroids. The drug testing was conducted before the fight between this athlete and the Ukrainian boxer Vladimir Klichko.
According to A-sample of Mariusz Wach, he took anabolic steroids. Results of his B-sample are not known yet.
It is interesting to mention that the German newspaper Bild reported about the steroid positive of Mariusz Wach before it was done by the German Boxing Federation.  Mariusz Kolodziej, the promoter of the boxer Wach claims that it displays that the German Boxing Federation doesn’t do its job properly. It lacks professionalism entirely.
What did Mariusz Wach state in order to defend himself? Actually, Mariusz Wach didn’t try to defend himself. The athlete just affirmed that he had never applied any steroids or other prohibited medicines knowingly. The sportsman even noted that he didn’t know what he really applied. Mariusz Wach cared just about workouts and suitable nutrition. As for supplements, they were chosen and provided by his trainers. The polish boxer trusted his trainers wholly. He didn’t even ask which supplements were used by him. He decided to put the total responsibility linked with supplements on his trainers and he was not interested in the nature of products that were given by his trainers.
Mariusz Wach didn’t intend to accuse his trainers of his steroid positive. He just revealed the reality.
So, it is possible to suggest that Mariusz Wach has used a contaminated dietary supplement. As you probably know, it happens often that sportspersons administer nutrition supplements that turn out to contain steroidal compounds. So, troubles start.
If Mariusz Wach’s B-sample displays that he has taken prohibited substances, he will be probably banned for one year. He will also have to pay a fine.

18-year old boys should avoid using steroids for athletic purposes

You may come across numerous articles about risks linked with intake of steroids by 18-year old boys. It is frequently claimed that those that are under 21 years old must not administer steroids for athletic purposes. Administration of steroids by 18-year old boys is considered to be very dangerous for their health. But you should comprehend that there are also other conceptions. Several experts claim that 18-year old boys may administer steroids without any fear to experience grave undesirable effects. Teenagers are encouraged by such statements. They suppose that if they apply anabolic steroids since the age of 18, they are likely to get obvious success in professional sports. Is it true? Although it is allowed for boys since the age of 18 years old to take steroids, it is better for them to avoid taking these medicines. Why? There are some reasons that are listed below:

1. Teenagers don’t become professional athletes with the help of steroids.
Adolescents are informed that a lot of professional sportspeople use anabolic steroids. Adolescents see that these persons have success. Thus, they suppose that sportspersons reach great success with the help of steroid use. But this is a wrong point of view. Anabolic steroids are not mysterious medicines which can make any individual a professional athlete.

2. Teenagers don’t possess sufficient knowledge about anabolic steroids.
Since teenagers don’t have knowledge about steroids, they take these medications wrongly. As a result, they don’t obtain wanted benefits; on the contrary, they may face grave unwanted effects.

3. Adolescents don’t accompany usage of steroids by proper trainings and nutrition.
Teenagers neglect to have proper trainings and diets during application of anabolic steroids. They should know that it is very important to have proper workouts and nutrition that are required for their athletic purposes.

Truth and Reconciliation Commission will be established to eradicate doping from cycling

The USADA desires to determine whether you have ever taken anabolic steroids, EPO, HGH and/or other banned medicines. This fact may surprise you but the anti-doping organization doesn’t plan yet to stop the investigation connected with Lance Armstrong’s doping case. So, the investigation has not been ended. The USADA desires to investigate each cyclist. Especially suspected dopers will be investigated.
The USADA desires to use the best ways in order to catch those that have ever taken banned medications. What is the best method to clean cycling of doping? The USADA puts efforts in order to define and use the best methods. This anti-doping organization is even ready to compare elimination of steroid use in cycling with that in South Africa.
The USADA claims that those who use anabolic steroids and other related medications should be punished. Consumers of anabolic steroids and/or other performance-enhancing drugs are demonized as if they were criminals. They are often compared with those that commit violence and other serious crimes. Steroids are harshly blamed in the society. So, the USADA believes that if steroids and steroid users are demonized, it will be easier to eliminate doping.
In fact, the USADA asks the International Cycling Association to base a Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The commission will investigate different cases related to doping. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission will try to define why several cyclists have administered steroids and/or other doping products but avoided detection.
Moreover, the USADA promises that “amnesty” will be provided to those that admit to using steroids and/or other prohibited substances, ask for forgiveness, repent and tell everything linked with doping to the anti-doping agency, team physicians, teammates, friends, etc. If a former steroid user says only truth, he will get the full amnesty. So, the USADA hopes to clean the sport of cycling wholly.
Travis Tygart, the CEO of the USADA, claims that there are some cyclists related to Lance Armstrong that have remained undetectable. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission should identify them.

Usage of anabolic steroids and Adderall in NFL

The National Football League is not allowed to disclose details, when players fail drug tests. It is just reported that certain individuals have violated anti-doping program. But the League must not report which substances have been used by these athletes. Thus, several football players cheat about medications that have led to positives.
Why do several football players choose to lie about preparations that have been taken by them? Let try to understand.
Numerous football players who fail drug tests claim that they have used Adderall. In fact, they have applied steroids. Why do they say that they have tested positive for Adderall? What does Adderall represent? This is a product which is applied to treat attention-deficit disorder. But this drug is applied not only for this clinical purpose. Sportspersons and bodybuilders administer this drug for performance-enhancing effects.
As for steroids, they are widely blamed. Many journalists, experts, anti-doping officers and ordinary people say that these medicines are very dangerous. They may lead to different severe side effects. Steroids are blamed even for some crimes. But as for Adderall, this medication is not blamed in the society. Thus, a lot of football players try to avoid criticism. They don’t want to be demonized for usage of such prohibited medications, as anabolic steroids. Since consumers of Adderall are not criticized harshly, football players claim that they have failed drug tests because they have taken Adderall.
A football player compared this situation with following cases: those that are busted with cocaine tell others that they have administered marijuana because cocaine is more harshly blamed than the last one.
You should not suggest that each football player that says that he has tested positive for Adderall has actually taken anabolic steroids. But it is possible to claim that those that take Adderall are less blamed than those who use steroids.

Freddie Roach blames strength and conditioning coaches for steroid use in boxing

Freddie Roach is a famous American trainer in boxing. He coaches the celebrated boxer Manny Pacquiao. The trainer claims that he knows the best method to eliminate the problem of steroid use in boxing. According to this trainer, strength and conditioning coaches should be blamed for administration of anabolic steroids and other related substances in this sport. He states that they teach boxers to take performance-enhancing drugs. Thus, Freddie Roach affirms that it is necessary to get rid of every strength and conditioning coach. It will lead to eradication of steroid use from boxing.
What does the trainer Freddie Roach think about significant changes that have occurred in physique and performance of the boxer Juan Manuel Marquez. In fact, there are different points of view about this athlete and dramatic changes in him. Many individuals suppose that he has applied anabolic steroids which have induced these changes in him. As for Freddie Roach, he thinks that Angel Guillermo Memo Heredia has supplied Juan Manuel Marquez with anabolic steroids.
The trainer Memo Heredia is an admitted steroid dealer. He acknowledged that he had provided steroids to numerous top athletes. Since he collaborated with feds and revealed names of some athletes that administered steroids, he was not charged with any crimes connected with distribution of steroids.
Thus, Freddie Roach states that strength and conditioning coaches like Memo Heredia should be pushed from boxing. It is the best method to eradicate usage of anabolic steroids and other related products from boxing.
It is interesting to mention that Manny Pacquiao, Freddie Roach’s client, also has a strength coach. Does it mean that this famous boxer takes anabolic steroids and/or other related products? The trainer Freddie Roach affirms that the strength coach Alex Arizo doesn’t supply Manny Pacquiao with steroids.
Alex Arizo and Memo Heredia are friends. So, Alex Arizo puts efforts to defend his friend, claiming that Freddie Roach’s accusations are incorrect. Actually, the trainer Freddie Roach says that he doesn’t like to pronounce any accusations connected with application of anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs. But he has to do it because this is the nature of boxing.
While Alex Arizo affirms that Memo Heredia doesn’t provide steroids to Marquez, Freddie Roach has own point of view. He continues to believe that Marquez is tainted. According to Freddie Roach, dramatic physical transformations of this athlete display that he administers steroids and/or other doping products.

Moustafa Ismail’s arms are largest in world

The Egyptian bodybuilder Moustafa Ismail has the largest biceps in the world. His name was recorded in the Guinness book of the world records. This guy says that his large arms are natural. Moustafa Ismail claims that he has the largest arms in the world because he has too strict nutrition and trainings. The Egyptian bodybuilder eats chickens, almonds and fish each day. The bodybuilder also consumes much water and protein shakes.
However it is obvious that diets and trainings have essential role, numerous persons doubt about natural arms of Moustafa Ismail. It is difficult to believe that suitable trainings and diets can cause such increase in arms. Which factors are responsible for the massive arms of the Egyptian bodybuilder?
When it was published that Moustafa Ismail’s arms were 32 inches, accusations related to usage of steroids appeared soon. Some persons think that anabolic steroids are responsible for the massive arms of this person. What did Moustafa Ismail say about intake of anabolic steroids? He affirmed that he had applied anabolic steroids while living in Egypt. Purchase and administration of these medicines are legal under laws of this country. These products are getable at any pharmacy in Egypt. Furthermore, steroids are cheap there. But Moustafa Ismail affirmed that he had to discontinue applying these medications, when he moved to the USA. It is know that purchase and application of these medications without a prescription are claimed to be illegal under laws of the US. These medicines are bought on the black market by those that apply them in the US illegally. So, Moustafa Ismail stopped applying these drugs after he moved to the USA.
But if even the Egyptian bodybuilder administers steroids, it doesn’t matter because these medicines don’t increase arms. They are not responsible for the bodybuilder’s massive arms.
There are other remedies which can enhance arms. They are called “site enhancement oils” (SEO). Synthol is one of the most often administered SEO. This product is administered by bodybuilders. It is taken in order to increase muscles in circumference. So, it is suggested that Moustafa Ismail applies Synthol. However, Moustafa Ismail claims that he doesn’t apply this remedy.
Moustafa Ismail says that he is hurt by accusations linked with steroids and Synthol. He has been subjected to examination conducted by an independent doctor that hasn’t seen any abnormality in the arms of this person. So, it is not clear whether his arms are natural or not.

Lance Armstrong should not be blamed for doping in professional cycling

Although you probably know nothing about Scott Mercier, his statements linked with doping in professional cyclist spread very quickly. This sportsman belonged to the US Postal Cycling team prior to Lance Armstrong’s arrival. Some affirmations of Scott Mercier revealed the truth which was hidden in cycling.
Actually, the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) made incorrect conclusions connected with role of Lance Armstrong in doping. The 7-time Tour de France winner was accused and found guilty of application of prohibited medicines throughout his cycling career. While it may be true, the USADA stated that Lance Armstrong induced doping in professional cycling. But these statements turned out to be wrong. Why? Which words were pronounced by Scott Mercier?
Scott Mercier claimed that their team doctor Pedro Celaya offered a special program for the US Postal Cycling team. Pedro Celaya discussed about the program with every cyclist. The doctor said that they had to ride 200-250 km every day. Moreover, Pedro Celaya established doping program that had to accompany workouts. Thus, he supplied US Postal Cycling team’s athletes with steroids, EPO and certain other products.
These recommendations were offered by Pedro Celaya, when Lance Armstrong was not involved in professional cycling. This sportsman suffered from testicular cancer that time. There was no any doubt that this person would not be capable to be involved in professional cycling. His cancer spread on other parts of the body, including brain. After Lance Armstrong experienced chemotherapy he got recovery. So, Lance Armstrong didn’t have any link to the team. He didn’t promote administering steroids and other related drugs in professional cycling. It became evident that doping was organized by Pedro Celaya before Lance Armstrong’s arrival.
During 1990s professional cyclists used Andriol. Then they applied testosterone patches. Under indications of Pedro Celaya cyclists utilized the method of overdosing in order to avoid detection by anti-doping officers.

Melky Cabrera agrees to play for Toronto Blue Jays

Intake of anabolic steroids and certain other drugs is prohibited in numerous sports organizations, including the Major League Baseball (MLB). Sportspeople who are caught using banned medications are sentenced to suspensions, fines, etc. Although sportspeople know about these factors, many of them continue administering steroids and/or other prohibited substances. As a result, some sportspersons spoil their athletic reputation completely. Nevertheless, certain athletes succeed, if even they violate anti-doping rules.
Let take the Dominican baseball player Melky Cabrera as an example. This athlete played baseball for San Francisco Giants. He was claimed to be one of the best baseball players. It was believed that he induced winning obviously. But after he tested positive for a steroid, he was sentenced to a 50-game suspension.
Melky Cabrera attempted to modify the decision and appealed it. He said that a dietary supplement was responsible for his positive. Some persons tried to help him in that situation. Thus, a fake site was created. An advertisement for a tainted supplement was posted. But the cheat was unmasked. The baseball player had to serve the ban.
While he served the ban, the San Francisco Giants understood that they could win without him.
Recently Melky Cabrera obtained a $16 million contract. Melky Cabrera will play for the Toronto Blue Jays.
 As you see, application of steroids couldn’t destroy the athletic career of the Dominican baseball player. He continues to play baseball professionally and earn essential sums of money.
This is just an example that manifests that usage of forbidden medicines doesn’t affect athletic careers in several cases.

Myogenix cheated customers, selling steroids as dietary supplements

Dietary supplements companies frequently label anabolic steroids as dietary supplements. Thus, they sell these illicit medications. They cheat the Drug Enforcement Administration and customers that purchase such preparations. As a result, several sportspersons test positive for forbidden substances while they are sure that they have never administered any steroid or another forbidden remedy. Dietary supplements companies must be demonized for such situations.
For example, Myogenix is a dietary supplement company which is in California. This company acknowledged that they sold a synthetic steroid that was labeled as a nutrition supplement. It was named Spawn. It was made of the following compounds: 19-Norandrosta-4,9 diene-3,17 dione and 2a,3a-epithio-17a-methyletioallocholanol. So, the supplement Spawn contained two steroids but it was marketed as a dietary supplement.
The company Myogenix admitted to selling Spawn between 2007 and 2009. The company was sentenced to pay a $500.000 fine. Furthermore, Myogenix forfeited $100.000 immediately.
According to the decision of the judge, preparations manufactured and sold by this company will be tested for five years by an independent organization. All new dietary supplements should be controlled carefully and approved by the FDA before Myogenix will be allowed to sell them.
In fact, the company Myogenix should thank the lawyer Rick Collins who has defended the company. He defended the owners and other stuff of the company effectively. No one went to prison. This lawyer was hired to defend also other companies that were related to the website Bodybuilding.com. These companies also were sentenced just to fines and money forfeitures.
