Jordan Matechuk didn’t reveal some special conditions linked with steroid use

Jordan Matechuk, a Canadian football player was busted by the US Customs and Border Patrol (CBP). He was caught possessing over 540 tablets of oral steroids and over 260 ml of injectable steroids, when he was coming to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats training camp. Matechuck affirmed that his depression was responsible for the decision to buy and use anabolic steroids.
Matechuk noticed that he utilized anabolic steroids and marijuana in order to be able to manage his depression. The football player noted that earlier he had used anti-depressant preparations. Discontinuing using anti-depressant preparations probably resulted in administration of steroids.
Jordan Matechuk affirmed that he had depression. He started to apply steroids and marijuana in order to feel better. Matechuk admitted that he was responsible for this condition. He wouldn’t have stopped administering anti-depressant medicines. But he stopped taking them. This factor resulted in steroid use.
Matechuk pleaded guilty to possession of steroids and marijuana.
However he faced up to 2 years in prison, he was sentenced to 90 years in prison. But Jordan Matechuk was released after he served only 60 days.
Matechuk claimed that there were several other circumstances but he decided to keep them out of public knowledge.
The Canadian Football League gave him another possibility to play football professionally.
He wrote a letter and sent it to each member of the team. Jordan Matechuk claimed about his shame for his arrest connected with possession and usage of steroids. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats didn’t want to receive the consumer of steroids back to the team.
But the Winnipeg Blue Bombers decided to provide him the second chance. So, Matechuk was happily accepted by this team.

Australian bodybuilder purchased over 3 kg of testosterone powder for self-administration

Brenton Dowell, a bodybuilder from Australia, was caught possessing and illegally importing great quantities of anabolic steroids in March 2011. It was defined that these steroids could be sufficient to be administered for over 60 years by one consumer. A lot of individuals thought that this bodybuilder would be sentenced to prison. But Brenton Dowell avoided imprisonment successfully.
The Australian Customs and Border Protection Service reported that this bodybuilder had tried to smuggle over 3 kg of testosterone powder. The packages with the raw testosterone powder were mailed in September, October and November 2011. They were directed to 3 different places: to the home of Dowell, to his father and his stepfather.
Actually, such large amounts of raw testosterone powder could be bought just for manufacture of anabolic steroids by underground labs in order to sell them on the black market. 3 kg of raw steroid powder could be used for getting of 1500 10-ml vials with ready drugs.
Len Hartnett, the defense attorney for Brenton Dowell, argued that the steroid powder had been bought for his client’s personal usage. He noticed that Dowell’s administration of steroids was a response to bullying attacks which he received, when he was an overweight boy. Thus, according to Len Harnett, Brenton Dowell became addicted to bodybuilding and began to utilize steroids because he was an overweight child.
The judge Graeme Hicks was influenced by affirmations of the defense attorney Len Harnett who presented experiences of Brenton Dowell in his childhood. The judge noticed that it could be concluded that Dowell had become obsessed by bodybuilding.
Thus, the judge believed the arguments of the defense attorney. Based on the descriptions and arguments of the defense attorney, the judge Graeme Hicks concluded that Brenton Dowell had purchased steroids for self-administration and for sales to his friends in order to pay off personal usage.
The bodybuilder Brenton Dowell was enforced to pay a fine of 10, 000 dollars and to serve probation of two years.

Will amendments of steroid laws be changed before the Olympics?

The pathologist Georgina Howarth concluded that the death of Mohammed Belkhair, a 19-year guy, had been caused by application of anabolic steroids. The doctor noted that anabolic steroids had led to heart failure that had resulted in the death.
According to the pathologist Howarth, if this guy had not used steroids, he would have lived today. She said that intake of steroids was the only reason of the death. The pathologist noticed that the death of this teenager was a lesson for each person to be far from such products.
Mohammed Belkhair’s sister found him vomiting in his room on May, 2011. The boy admitted that he had used steroids. The death occurred at the same day. It was reported that steroids had been found in his system.
According to several articles, DHEA and Tamoxifen were two steroids that were found in the system of the boy. DHEA is sold overall in Britain and in the USA.
But actually, the news is misleading. Tamoxifen doesn’t belong to anabolic steroids. This medication has been initially elaborated in order to treat individuals with breast cancer. It has become widespread among sportspersons and bodybuilders who apply steroids because of its ability to prevent aromatization of other medications.
It seems to be curiously but nothing was noticed about arrest of Mohammed Belkhair. This factor might contribute in his death. This guy was arrested on the night before his death by police officers. 4 different anabolic steroids were found in the room of this person. But the names of the steroids were not mentioned.
However the police encounter and arrest occurred several hours before the death of Mohammed Belkhair, the doctor Georgina Howarth didn’t investigate these factors. Furthermore, she didn’t provide any explanation about this aspect. Police officials revealed nothing as well.
Since it was announced that Mohammed Belkhair had bought steroids online, the news linked with risks of buying steroids via internet were spread in the country. Thus, it turned out to be convenient for altering the laws in order to make ordering of steroids per internet illegal in Britain. The British government wants to make personal importation of steroids per mail and per internet criminal. It will be in near future. However it is believed that these laws will be enacted before the 2012 London Olympics, they are not still enacted.

Any athlete may possess and use steroids under the laws of the UK

Officials of the British government will be not capable to stop sportspeople importing steroids to the UK, when they come to participate in the 2012 Summer Olympics. However usage of steroids is prohibited in sports, self-administration of these products is legal in the UK. Just sale of steroids is considered to be illegal in this country. Thus, if anyone desires to import amount of anabolic steroids that is evidentially large, he/she will not be permitted to do it.
Before Olympic Games took place in Australia, Canada and China, governments of these countries changed laws linked with import and administration of steroids at least temporally. But the British government doesn’t want to modify steroid laws for the 2012 Olympics.
Ironically, while the government of the UK doesn’t want to make personal usage of steroids illegal, Britain sportspersons are banned for lifetime, if they take anabolic steroids. When it comes to the WADA Code, athletes that take forbidden drugs are banned for two years.
The Olympic minister Hugh Robertson notes that it is necessary to have a universal law related to sentencing. This minister insists on at least 4 years or even longer.  However this minister is supported by the British Olympic Association, the UK Anti-Doping Agency doesn’t agree with such harsh punishment. Andy Parkinson, the CEO of the UK Anti-Doping Agency, thinks that several sanctions should be milder.
The Olympic minister acknowledges that there are various points of view in sports and it’s not well but he doesn’t ask the CEO of the UKAD to resign.
The spokesman for Hugh Robertson has stated that any sportsperson can have steroids in his/her luggage, when he/she arrives to London. But the quantity of steroids must display that he/she has them just for personal usage. The spokesman has noted that it is not illegal for an athlete to use steroids under laws of the UK but if any athlete is caught taking forbidden medications, he/she will be punished under anti-doping laws.
The UKAD noticed that they would collaborate with border control officers. Information about sportspeople will be used by anti-doping officials.
5, 000 drug test, including 1, 000 blood tests will be conducted by the International Olympic Committee.

Late researches have displayed links between long-term steroid use and heart disorders

Prolonged administration of anabolic steroids can cause different heart disorders. It increases risks related to heart failure. These statements have been noted in a research which has been written in Circulation: Heart Failure, an American Heart Association journal.
Anabolic-androgenic steroids work like testosterone that occurs naturally and that is responsible for development of male sex characteristics.
The leader of the research Aaron L. Baggish states that in addition to the factor that anabolic steroids are illegal, they are linked with undesirable consequences for health. He notes that it is the first time, when negative influence of long-term application of steroids on heart is clearly realized.
The research manifested that the left ventricle in steroid users was significantly weaker during contraction than in those who didn’t apply steroids.
A left ventricle that works correctly pumps out 55-70 % of the blood which fills the heart.
 12 consumers of steroids were enrolled in the research. It was demonstrated that the left ventricles of 83 % these steroid users worked inappropriately: they pumped out less than 55 % of the blood.   Among the examined non-users only one person experienced problems linked with the function of the left ventricle.
The research displayed that ventricle relaxation among steroid users was lowered by about half. It was 0, 93 among users of steroids; 1, 80 – among non-users. The structure of the left ventricle was similar in both groups: users of steroids and non-users.
It was applied the method “Doppler echocardiography” for evaluation of function and structure of the left ventricle. This test uses ultrasound for creation of moving pictures of the heart and its blood flow.
 The group of steroid users included twelve weightlifters at the age of about 40 that noted that they used approximately 675 mg of steroids per week for 9 years. Another group included weightlifters that didn’t take steroids. Both groups had the same physical activity and similar risks related to heart troubles. But they had differences in body weight and muscle size. The consumers of steroids had more muscular appearance.
However small number of steroid users has been examined, the results have demonstrated that there is a strong link between intake of steroids and heart impairment.
The specialists decided to conduct further studies in order to support the findings.
Baggish and his colleagues suppose that people will comprehend that application of steroids may results in heart problems and various unexplained heart disorders in young people.

How do bodybuilders may achieve great levels?

Bodybuilding is not included in glamorous sports. Any bodybuilder may support this statement. Those that are involved in bodybuilding spend much time at gyms, training; they prepare proper meal and make continuous researches. What is this work done for? – Just for 30 seconds on stage. Of course, if bodybuilders reach high results, they obtain awards, fame, and admiration of others. Their photos are posted on covers of fit magazines. They become celebrated.
Unluckily, the most of bodybuilders never achieve this level because it is required a lot of work and money for this goal. But any bodybuilder hopes to achieve this level: to be a top bodybuilder, to obtain money and other awards. If you have any interest to learn what is required for success in bodybuilding, you may look at Jay Cutler and some other individuals. You can also find out role of steroids for success in bodybuilding.
Jay Cutler is one of the most celebrated bodybuilders in history. Furthermore, he has obtained Mr. Olympia titles 4 times. This person spends much time for sports. He confirms that he doesn’t make plans. He eats around the clock. Jay Cutler consumes 4, 000 – 7, 000 calories a day. Chicken breasts are at the center of his many meals.
It is interesting to notice that Cutler spends more time for consumption of meals than for trainings. He lifts for circa 2 hours and gets cardio an hour a day. Cutler claims that his day differs substantially from thoughts of people about it. Persons that are not involved in bodybuilding suggest that bodybuilders train 8 hours per day. They suggest that if they use steroids, they will have the same appearance like professional bodybuilders.
Jay Cutler claims that steroids are not everything in bodybuilding but they have a significant role in it. He confirms that if anyone wants to achieve obvious success in sports, he/she has to apply steroids. Ron Stevens, who is in the sport 15 years, supports the affirmation of Jay Cutler about steroids. He notices that it is not possible to compete without usage of these products. After certain shows Ron Stevens decided to take steroids.
Stevens is also a dedicated bodybuilder like Jay Cutler. He eats much food that could be enough for a family of five members.
The most of bodybuilders haven’t obtained great supplement contracts. They don’t have enough money in order to support their efforts and receive titles of Mr. Olympia.
In fact, the most of dedicated bodybuilders have regular jobs and hope that they will reach great success one day.
Cutler had two jobs. This bodybuilder worked and spent every dollar he got for bodybuilding. Finally, he obtained great success. His each effort was paid off.
Pondering about Jay Cutler, any bodybuilder can be encouraged to hope that he will succeed obviously one day. Uncelebrated bodybuilders can dream at least.

The UFC doesn’t follow the WADA Code related to random drug testing

Dana White, the UFC President, tries to defend UFC efforts against administration of prohibited products.  Dana White confirms that the UFC fights seriously to push forbidden preparations out of sports. He claims that they do more than any other sport organization for this purpose.
Unluckily, statements of Dana White are claimed just for public relations purposes. They are wholly false. The UFC doesn’t do more than any other sport organization, struggling against application of forbidden medications.
White claims that it is impossible to perform random drug testing in the UFC. This person notices that they have 375 athletes under contract. He notices that it is impossible to perform random tests because these fighters live everywhere; they travel around the world. Dana White finds it unreal to travel in various countries, seeking these 375 persons, in order to test them continually.
While Dana White wants to convince others that it is impossible to perform random drug testing of 375 UFC fighters, other sport organizations do it with their sportspersons. They perform random testing successfully.
It isn’t entirely clear what happens really. Does Dana White try to mislead media about administration of prohibited drugs by the UFC fighters? Or is he ignorant totally, when it comes to the laws of the World Anti-Doping Agency?
The Chief Executive Officer of the US Anti-Doping Agency affirms that the UFC does everything in order to avoid following the code of the WADA. They have own points of views and fight against the WADA Code. However the UFC states that they try to protect their sports from intake of performance-enhancing drugs by the WADA Code, the reality displays that it is not true. The UFC laws are miserable in comparison with those of the WADA. Try to comprehend it!

It was reported that Cyborg Santos tested positive for Winstrol during the Strikeforce: Melendez vs Masvidal in San Diego in December 2011. She affirmed that she had never utilized anabolic steroids intentionally. This mixed martial artist affirmed that she had applied a weight loss agent that had been given by a member of her camp.
The female fighter noticed that she hadn’t known that the preparation was a steroid. She claimed that it had been her mistake that she had trusted that person.

The steroid case of Roger Clemens may result in the federal war on steroids

Mike Wallace, a prominent investigative journalist, who was one of the original correspondents of CBS’ 60 Minutes died, when he was 93 years old. This reporter hosted interesting interviews with world celebrated persons. The most recent stories were linked with the former professional baseball player Roger Clemens and accusations related to application of anabolic steroids and HGH by this athlete. Mike Wallace’s last appearance on TV was connected with this case.
The interview with Roger Clemens about steroids was presented in January, 2008. Rusty Hardin, the defense attorney for Roger Clemens, arranged the appearing of this former baseball player in the program 60 Minutes. Roger Clemens had to defense himself against accusations of his former personal coach Brian McNamee. This trainer accused Roger Clemens in application of anabolic steroids and HGH. He cooperated with Mitchell Report investigators, when they tried to find out the extent of steroid use in the Major League Baseball.
Wallace didn’t enforce Clemens to say that he administered steroids. He just convinced him to prove to others that he had used neither steroids, nor HGH. Clemens affirmed that he would be able to pull a tractor with his teeth, if he had administered steroids.
The interview of Clemens was a calamitous public relations ploy for the attorney Rusty Hardin. It was not a perceptive interview. But it renewed the interest after death of Wallace.
In fact, Wallace hosted much more interesting interviews during his career. The steroid interview with Roger Clemens was not the most interesting. Why did it draw all people’s attention?
Other interviews of Wallace are quite significant. Wallace interviewed the lawyer of the president Richard Nixon and the assistant to the president for Domestic Affairs John Ehrlichman during the Watergate scandal. Wallace defined the Watergate scandal as “perjury”. He enumerated such methods of Richard Nixon, as thefts, spying, obstruction of justice, etc. The scandal caused resignation of the president.
The Iranian leader Ayatollah Khomeini was also interviewed by Wallace. Wallace named him a “lunatic”. But he was quoting the president Anwar el-Sadat of Egypt.
Another individual that was interviewed by Wallace was the Vice President of Research and Development at a tobacco company. Jeffrey Wigand admitted that executives of the company lied before the Congress about their knowledge about nature of nicotine.
Although these interviews were significant, numerous persons directed their attention to insignificant interview with Roger Clemens. It may be because while lying of Roger Clemens before the Congress may result in federal struggle against steroids, the war on nicotine will never take place.

New findings related to athletic effects that can be obtained due to usage of mustard

Several recent studies have defined some benefits of mustard. It is known by everyone that it is an excellent remedy that adds pleasant flavor to food. Moreover, it has been defined that mustard may help to lose fat and improve physical appearance.
A study linked with mustard has been conducted by Debora Esposito and his colleagues at North Carolina University in Kannapolis (USA). It has been reported under results of the research that a compound which is called “homobrassinolide” found in mustard and other related herbs can enhance lean muscle mass and energy in mammals.
28-Homobrassinolide represents a brassinosteroid. It is a type of steroid which has been found in plants which are included in Brassica family. It has been known that it may induce growing plants. But nobody has been aware about its function in mammals. The experts have determined that homobrassinolide can cause anabolic effects in mammals. It induces enhancing synthesis of protein, stimulates appetite and increases muscle mass through enhancement of number and size of muscle fibers in animals.
Healthy rats have been involved in the research. They have been given oral homobrassinolide during 24 days. Dual-emission x-ray absorptiometry analysis has been applied in order to check changes in weight, food consumption and composition of rats’ bodies. It has been determined that animals who have been given homobrassinolide have acquired significantly more muscle mass than those that have not been treated.
Enhancement of muscle mass indicates about a higher basal metabolic rate. Enhanced BMR is associated with great caloric burning which helps to remain lean.
So, the research has clearly manifested that homobrassinolide increases protein synthesis, enhances size and number of muscle fibers that play an essential role for enhancement of endurance.
Experts suppose that such plants, as mustard, may be used for higher brassinosteroid content. It may help to have lean muscle mass, increase it and prevent some health problems.
It is supposed that future supplement and medicine industry will introduce preparations that will be effective in case of some illnesses related to muscle wasting. Such preparations can be utilized as alternative drugs to synthetic steroids because the first ones will probably have minimal or no unwanted consequences.
Leaves of mustard are low-calorie. They are rich in antioxidants. Leaves of mustard have anti-inflammatory effects. Furthermore, they represent a good source of iron, magnesium, fiber, selenium and phosphorous.
Mustard can be applied for preparing salads, curds and tempering. It would be useful to take at least one teaspoon of mustard with water or food in order to get some benefits.

Dr. Beltran not only supplied top sportspersons with steroids but he also taught them how to avoid detection

Mossos d’Esqudra and Spain’s Policia Nacional conducted a steroid investigation that led to arrest of ten individuals who were involved in a steroid chain. These persons provided top amateur and professional sportspersons and even Olympic athletes with anabolic steroids, HGH, EPO, CERA and other related drugs.  The investigation was called “Operacion Skype”. The steroid ring was located in Barcelona.
The investigation was initially connected with the professional cyclist David Garcia Dapena that tested positive for EPO after the 2010 Vuelta a Espana. It was claimed that David Garcia Dapena had high hematocrit levels that indicated about administration of EPO.
Garcia didn’t deny administration of the banned medicine. He collaborated with the police officers. The cyclist acknowledged that he had purchased drugs with performance-enhancing effects from the doctor Alberto Beltran Nino.
It was defined that Beltran had been the leader of an organization linked with sophisticated doping. This organization supplied cyclists and other sportspersons with forbidden products. It was also determined that several athletes that took part in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the 2010 Vuelta a Espana, the 2009 Tour du Portugal and the 2012 Spanish Athletics Championships belonged to the group of sportspersons that got steroids and other forbidden medications from this doping ring.
It was even earlier suspected that Beltran supplied sportspersons with steroids and other related drugs and taught them how to avoid detection. He was arrested in Italy after he was caught driving his car that was full of steroids and other doping substances.
Nuno Ribeiro, a Portuguese professional cyclist, accused the physician Beltran in injecting him with forbidden preparations after he tested positive for CERA in 2009.
The sprinter Jose Luis Blanco assisted in the steroid investigation that had been conducted against Beltran after this sprinter tested positive for EPO at the 2012 Spanish Athletics Championships.
Beltran moved to Bahrain in 2009. Since that time the physician had no any direct contact with any sportsperson.
Nonetheless, the police suspect that he has set up a team of intermediaries in various countries. They have bought steroids and other related medications and supplied top sportspeople with them.
Beltran was detained in Madrid in March 2012 by police officers. He was caught possessing AICAR and TB-500.
While no any sportsperson has tested positive for these medicines, it is suspected that several athletes have intended to utilize these drugs.

What have you to understand about AndroGel dosage in order to get needed benefits?
AndroGel dosage is indicated by physicians who take in consideration following aspects: levels of testosterone in patients, responses of their bodies to administration of this product, individual conditions and other drugs that are used by patients. It is usually indicated to start with the AndroGel dosage of 5 mg per day. The dosage is corrected during the treatment. If levels of testosterone are significantly low, the dosage has to be enhanced. If the levels are more enhanced than the normal level, the therapy with this remedy should be discontinued. The dose must be corrected only by physicians but not by those who utilize this product.

Prostitutes in Bangladesh apply a steroid which is over 25 times more potent than the natural hormone cortisol

Teenage females in Bangladesh that are involved in prostitution administer steroids to add weight and bulk up. It has been reported by Reuters. The article’s headline contains the following words: “dark steroid secret”. It is stated that prostitutes from Bangladesh take steroids in order to look better. Of course, the first thoughts that come in mind in this case are connected with intake of anabolic steroids. But reading the article completely and more attentively, anyone may understand that it is spoken not about anabolic steroids but about corticosteroids.
One of corticosteroids that are purchasable at pharmacies of Bangladesh is sold under the trade name Oradexon. It is not needed to have a prescription in order to buy this product. It costs circa 15 taka that equal to 0, 18 USD dollars. Another name of this medicine is Dexamethasone. This is an anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant product that is recommended for treatment of patients who suffer different diseases. This remedy is over 25 times more powerful that the natural steroid hormone cortisol.
90 % of sex workers at the 15 legal houses of prostitution from Bangladesh use the corticosteroid Oradexon. 90 % equal to 900 young sex workers that apply this medicine continually. They apply it by own choice or are enforced to do it. Thus, some of them are enforced to take it. But others apply this product volitionally because it is said that corticosteroids may increase strength and improve health.
It may seem to be ironically but sex workers from Bangladesh  who administer corticosteroids have the same goals like those that encourage bodybuilders to take anabolic steroids. Sex workers utilize corticosteroids in order to improve physical appearance, add weight and enhance appetite.
It is affirmed that Oradexon is able to give healthy appearance to users. Customers appreciate it. A woman who is involved in prostitution in Bangladesh confirms that customers are seeking healthy ladies. Since she needs money to pay her bills and loans, she should have customers each day. If she doesn’t have any customer a day, she doesn’t have what to eat. Furthermore, she tries to earn money for her son.
In fact, unwanted results that may be caused due to corticosteroids are much more severe than those that can appear due to administration of anabolic steroids. Corticosteroids can suppress immune system, lead to osteoporosis and insulin resistance, enhance appetite significantly, and enhance weight and fat.
Specialists try to draw people’s attention to abuse of corticosteroids and potential undesirable results of them.

Why are D. J. Williams and Ryan McBean banned from 6 games?

The National Football League sentenced to bans the linebacker D. J. Williams and Ryan McBean, a defensive lineman, of the team Denver Broncos for violation of steroid policy. These players were suspended from six games. But they were not banned for application of steroids. They didn’t test positive for steroids or other prohibited products. They were accused in providing “non-human” urine samples to the drug testing officer.
D. J. William claimed that he had never tested for any banned drug during 8 years of his career. He mentioned that he was proud of his records. The football player noted that he was also proud of his manner in that he conducted himself, being an athlete.
Peter Schaffer, the defensive attorney for McBean, claimed that the NFL had violated rights of the defensive lineman. He noticed that since McBean had never tested positive for any prohibited product, the NFL didn’t have any right to sentence him to suspension.
Peter Schaffer claimed that he desired to make it clear that neither D. J. Williams, nor Ryan McBean tested positive for prohibited drugs.
A lawsuit was filed in Denver County Court against suspensions of these football players.
The players confirmed that the drug testing officer had violated certain rules connected with the procedure of collecting urine samples.
Peter Schaffer mentioned that several similarities had been between his client and Ryan Braun. Braun won his appeal linked with his suspension from 50 games for application of testosterone. Ryan Braun could prove that the drug testing officer Dino Laurenzi violated steroid policy.
As for Laurenzi, he was defended and supported by various anti-doping agencies. The WADA also supported this drug testing officer. It was claimed that there was the same procedure of collecting and sending urine samples not only for the MLB but also for the WADA.
But as for the drug testing officer that collected samples of Williams and McBean, he was treated in another way. He was fired by the NFL for improper doing his duty.
At the hearing the NFL administrators admitted that the drug testing officer violated the rules linked with collection of urine samples.
Nonetheless, the appeal on behalf of the football players was rejected.

Some products which are purchasable as dietary supplements are drugs

What can be called “a medicine”? The FDA notices that a medicine is a substance; it isn’t a dietary supplement. It is applied for diagnosis, cure, prevention of maladies, for proper influence on body’s functions. It is possible to add that a drug is a drug that has nothing common with politics and great money.
But there is certain confusion nowadays. A law that has been established in 1994 by Senators Orrin Hatch and Tom Harkin has caused the confusion between supplements and medicines. Thus, mega-billion dollar supplements industry has promoted causing the disorder in clear definitions. People’ ignorance and some legislative statements with doubled sense have played great role in creation of following conception: everything which is sold is safe.
This wrong conception caused different serious situations. For example, more than a year ago 2 young soldiers of the U. S. Army died as a result of intake of so-called “supplements” Jack3d and OxyElite Pro. The case is still investigated. Actually, it has been determined that those soldiers had administered an amphetamine-like synthetic substance that has been called “dimethylamylamine”. It had negative influence on their cardiovascular and nervous systems. Since it has altered function of bodies, it is a medication. Although it is a banned substance used by sportspeople, it is purchasable at the Vitamin Shoppe or GNC.
Health stores sell preparations which are similar to that compound mentioned above. They are getable as dietary supplements but it is not true.
Another example is DHEA. It represents a steroid which can be converted in consumers’ systems into anabolic steroids or neurohormonal steroids. This aspect influences on physiological functions of body. Is it a dietary supplement actually?
Another product which is purchasable as a dietary supplement is RockHard Weekend. It contains different compounds. But does anyone know which substances are contained in the bottle? May anybody reassure that they are safe for administartion?
One of people’s mistakes is that they meditate the following way: if any preparation is derived from plants, it is safe for intake. Many persons think that such supplements can’t have negative influence on body’s functions. It is wrong to believe this way. There are plants that are poisonous. It is forbidden to consume them.
Hemlock was the poison which led to Socrates’ death. It was derived from certain herb. Ricin that is claimed to be one of the most poisonous compounds on the Earth is derived from a castor been roots. That’s why it is important to know what you use in order to prevent applying preparations which contain any poison, regardless they are from herbs or not.
Why are companies allowed to offer for sales drugs as if they were dietary supplemenets? Dietary supplements don’t pass any FDA control. Here we may say about statements with doubled sense. The Hatch-Harken law allows the supplement industry to introduce substances which are labeled as supplements. But are they actually supplements? Some medications are sold, being labeled as dietary supplements. But it is wrong wholly. These substances may be unsafe.
Does anybody suggest that anabolic steroids and other related drugs can be marketed as supplements? Do they supplement or treat? A term was elaborated in order to prevent utilizing medical terms. This term is “to support”. What does this verb mean? Isn’t it a wink to the term “to treat”?
The FDA plans to establish control over dietary supplements. There will be a requirement for all new supplements to be safe.
Pharmaceutical companies spend large sums of dollars in order to define whether new medicines are safe. Some of them fail to be called “safe” because of serious side effects. But as for manufacturers of supplements, they don’t have these problems because there do not have such regulations in supplement industry.
Supplement requirements are related to money and not to science. In fact, they should have the same regulations like those which are established for pharmaceutical companies.

Attitude of society towards young athletes promote taking steroids by them

Brian McNamee claims that trainers are the principal individuals who induce application of anabolic steroids. The convicted distributor of steroids confirms that trainers have the most significant influence on decisions of young sportspeople to apply prohibited preparations. Their influence is larger than one of street dealers who offer prohibited drugs for sales, trying to convince young athletes that they may succeed due to administration of these drugs. Brian McNamee suggests that trainers and the society teach young sportspersons that they must win at any cost. This factor pressures students that are involved in sports. It promotes causing their decision to take steroids and other related drugs.
Brian McNamee was invited to share his opinion at the Nassau Counselors Association’s conference. He pronounced some thoughts  during a presentation which was called “Creating a Safe Environment for Our Student-Athletes”. He got an honorarium of 200 dollars. McNamee donated this sum of money to the Taylor Hooton Foundation.
McNamee is known better as a trainer who has injected Roger Clemens with anabolic steroids and HGH. It was noticed that he saved all syringes and vials that were used for injecting Clemens with steroids during about seven years. Brian McNamee supported accusations of federal prosecutors against Clemens.
The testimony of McNamee induced publishing the Mitchell Report on steroids in the Major League Baseball. The Report was worth of 20 million dollars. It was publicized in December 2007. Affirmations of Brian McNamee and Kirk Radomski represented the base for writing the report. They provided evidence linked with application of steroids in professional baseball. These men were enforced to collaborate with investigators of the Mitchell Report. It was their agreement that was achieved because of charges linked with steroids.
The agreement also suggests that McNamee will testify as a government witness in the trial of Roger Clemens. He couldn’t pronounce details connected with the case of Roger Clemens during the Nassau Counselors Association. But the time will come, when he reports the story linked with Clemens.
Although it was declared a mistrial in the 1st  trial connected with the case of Roger Clemens, it was scheduled a new trial.

A match between Shaquille O’Neal and Jose Canseco will be probably soon

It has been recently reported that Jose Canseco and Shaquille O’Neal have spoken about their possibility to fight against each other in a match of mixed martial arts. The challenge was made by O’Neal last year but Jose Canseco didn’t take him seriously. Just now Jose Canseco began to take him seriously.
Many people believe that Jose Canseco needs money since the Triple-A Quintana Roo Tigres of the Mexican Baseball League has decided to take him the second chance to play professional baseball.
Jose Canseco should submit to a steroid test before starting playing in this team. But as it is stated, he uses Testosterone Cypionate and HCG that are prescribed by his physician for testosterone replacement therapy. However he has justified therapeutic needs for administration of these drugs, he has to obtain some specified documents to be allowed to play baseball professionally. While his fate related to playing baseball professionally is not yet decided, he wants to fight against O’Neal in a ring.
Shaquille O’Neal has said that he is ready to fight against Jose Canseco. He reported that he had challenged Canseco long ago.
O’Neal doesn’t trouble that Jose Canseco takes anabolic steroids. He has own secret methods and he hopes that he has ability to neutralize effects of Jose Canseco that are caused by administration of Testosterone Cypionate.
It was scheduled that Jose Canseco would fight against the former player of the MLB Lenny Dykstra. When this guy played professional baseball, he also administered anabolic steroids.
Randall Lane claims in his book “The Zeroes: My Misadventures in the Decade Wall Street Went Insane” that Lenny Dykstra has admitted that he used anabolic steroids. Dykstra told Lane that Jose Canseco and he had caused steroid revolution in baseball.
Jeff Scott, a bodybuilder from Florida, said that he supplied Dykstra with preparations that increase performance at sums of 20, 000 dollars. He also noted that he injected Dykstra with steroids many times.
But the fight between Dykstra and Jose Canseco never happened because Dykstra was accused in thefts, false financial statements and possession of illicit products. Finally, he was sentenced to jail.
O’Neil offered to fight against Jose Canseco instead of Dykstra. He asked the UFC’s president Dana White to arrange a match with Jose Canseco. Jose Canseco accepted the challenge of O’Neil.

The BOA confirms that 2-year suspensions are not sufficient penalties for usage of steroids

The British Olympic Association tries to justify itself for the fact that it violates rules of the World Anti-Doping Agency. According to rules of the WADA, punishment for administration of anabolic steroids and other related preparations must be the same in the whole  world. The punishment which is indicated for an athlete who has applied banned drugs for the first time is sentencing to bans of 2 years.
But the British Olympic Association thinks that such penalty isn’t good enough. The BOA sentences consumers of steroids for life-time bans from taking part in the Olympic Games. The WADA confirms that this rule of the BOA contradicts the WADA Code that is unvarying.
Lord Moynihan, the chairman of the BOA, hasn’t agreed to concede. As a result, a hearing has been scheduled to be at a Court of Arbitration for Sports in London.
The athletes that had applied prohibited substances were suspended by the International Olympic Committee from participations in Olympics under the Osaka Rule.
Lord Moynihan claimed that the law of the BOA related to life-time bans wouldn’t be cancel, if even the CAS would not support it. The BOA confirms that it has the best rules.
The chairman of the BOA supported statements written by the former British Olympic decathlete Daley Thompson that noted that British laws related to administration of prohibited preparations were the best. He noted that they shouldn’t be overthrown by the rest part of the world.
Delay Thompson believes that dopers should be punished strictly. They should be suspended for the whole life. According to his statements, the BOA shouldn’t agree with the rule of the WADA to sentence dopers just for 2-year bans. He confirms that the Britain desires to have the highest sport standards. He states that if the rest part of the world doesn’t desire to have high standards, it doesn’t mean that Britain must follow their reduced levels.
David Howman, the director general of the WADA, criticizes words pronounced by Daley, noticing that steroid testing has been just on its early level of development, when he has won his gold medals in Olympics in Moscow and Los Angeles.
Travis Tygart, the CEO of the US Anti-Doping Agency, criticizes the BOA for its refusal to agree with the rules of the WADA. It seems to be strange that Travis Tygart who always criticizes cheaters blames the BOA for the strict law.
Travis Tygart confirms that since international laws have been once established and all have agreed to them, everyone should follow them.
Dwain Chambers and David Millar, British athletes, who have been earlier suspended for intake of forbidden substances wait for the decisions linked with this issue. They want to know whether they will be allowed to participate in the 2012 London Olympics.

Aren’t you aware which form to utilize: Testosterone Propionate vs Enanthate?
Numerous individuals, especially those that apply or want to use testosterone, frequently ask the following question: “Which version is more appropriate for athletic purposes: Testosterone Propionate vs Enanthate?” These esters possess various chemical structures that influence on differences that are between these 2 forms of testosterone. Knowing structures of these esters of testosterone you may be able answer on the following questions: “Which is more soluble: Testosterone Propionate vs Enanthate?” and “Which ester has shorter duration of action?” Having larger number of carbons in the chain, Enanthate is less soluble in water and has longer half life than Propionate. These differences can help you to choose a version which is  convenient for you.

No one knew about intentions of Patrick Arnold to produce steroids

No one from New Jersey wants to be implicated in a low-paying job that is connected with manufacture of chemicals which are used in shampoos and hair gels. Let remind what has happened in this state in 1994.
Patrick Arnold, a person of the age of 24, was alone in a room. He was mixing certain special thickeners in order to enhance viscosity of some liquids. This guy was doing this job much time. Thus, he had sufficient time to meditate about his fate, blaming it. This young man was unhappy that the job was bothering and nothing interesting happened. But there was no any other job.
However his future was before him, some months passed before he found the way.
Patrick Arnold was an enthusiastic weightlifter. But he has discontinued much time ago to put his efforts in order to increase muscles. Nevertheless, every day after his job he used to go to a gym where he had workouts and had discussions with other guys. Their discussions were frequently about anabolic steroids. Arnold had specialized in chemistry at the University of New Haven. That’s why  the discussions connected with steroids led him to meditations.
Once after Arnold had stirred thickeners he went to the chemistry library and looked at molecular structures of the steroids which were presented in several fitness magazines. Anabolic steroids had been already pronounced to be banned medicines. But there was still enough information about these drugs.
Looking at molecular structures of steroids, Patrick Arnold was pondering why he was doing that unprofitable job. He concluded that it would be much better for him to try making steroids himself. Arnold ordered several chemicals through the company. He needed to have them for manufacture of steroids. No one was aware what he wanted to do.
Beginning the new job, Arnold endured certain problems. He didn’t obtain success at once. For example, he desired to make a drug that had to possess a crystalline structure. But it turned out to be that he got sticky oil. He understood that it indicated that potentially toxic impurities and reagents were not split from the brew. Step by step he became more experienced. He started to use solvents to wash impurities and substrates away. He could make desired preparations. Their crystalline structures demonstrated that they were purified.
