Garrett Reid died because of heroin overdose

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, tried to revive him, the efforts of the doctor were in vain. The county coroner affirmed that this young man (29 years old) died of a heroin overdose.
Garrett Reid’s death was a serious tragedy for the family of Andy Reid. Moreover, the case caused some problems for the Philadelphia Eagles. The football players had to clear themselves from suspicions linked with usage of steroids. Several anabolic steroids were found by local police in the dormitory of Garret Reid. Moreover, syringes and needles were found in his possession too. The steroids were named by police. It was reported that Garrett Reid possessed Nandrolone Phenylpropionate, Boldenone Undecylenate, Testosterone Propionate and Trenbolone Acetate. Since these products were found at Garrett Reid’s dormitory room, some suspicions appeared. It was noted that the coach’s son probably provided these banned preparations to members of the Philadelphia Eagles. Thus, the death of Garrett Reid turned out to be a trouble for the whole sport organization.
Some of steroids revealed at Garrett Reid’ room are fast-acting. These medications are usually liked by sportspersons that submit to drug testing. Since they are eliminated from the body in short period of time after usage, it is more difficult to catch those that have administered these medicines. So, it is suspected that such medications must have been used by players of the Philadelphia Eagles.
However suspicions are pronounced, nothing has been proven. It was not reported yet whether anabolic steroids were found in the system of Garrett Reid.
The NFL spokesman assured that he would report when it will be clear whether steroids found in Garrett Reid’s room were linked to Philadelphia Eagles.

Low number of college athletes is caught using steroids

A few college athletes are caught administering banned drugs. Does it mean that they don’t administer performance-enhancing drugs? Less than 1% of college football players have been caught violating anti-doping rules. They have tested positive for anabolic steroids and/or other performance-enhancing drugs. Such situation must convince anti-doping agencies that they win in the fight against doping. But certain suspicions arise. It is believed that numerous college football players use steroids and/or other related drugs but they avoid detection successfully.
Why do such suspicions arise? Changes in physique of college football players lead to controversial opinions. So, changes in body weight of more than 61,000 college football players were lately analyzed by the Associated Press. Results displayed that a lot of college football players enhanced their body mass in short period of time evidentially. More than 20 pounds were acquired by over 4,500 college football players during a year. Moreover, circa 100 persons enhanced the body weight by over 80 pounds during a year. As you see, the gains were obvious.
Certain experts assure that these aspects should not trouble anti-doping officers. They notice that anti-doping officials shouldn’t subject college football players to drug tests only because they have enhanced body mass essentially.
But other specialists have another point of view. However they agree that it is impossible to be sure that certain football players have administered steroids and/or other related drugs, basing only upon changes in body mass, they note that the changes may be a factor that causes suspicions connected with usage of steroids. So, such individuals that have increased body mass in short period of time should be subjected to steroid testing.
Some college athletes that enhanced body mass essentially in short period of time were asked about their changes. The sportspersons affirmed that they had never applied any forbidden drugs. They assured that they achieved such great changes naturally. The college athletes noticed that they had consumed much food for this purpose. Thus, they assured that such evident results were achieved by them because of suitable nutrition. According to them, it was not difficult to get many pounds in short period of time.

Hair loss which occurs during steroid use can be prevented

Anabolic steroids are widely administered in medicine and in bodybuilding and sports. Numerous individuals use these products for improvement of their health. These preparations are indicated to treat several diseases. Furthermore, numerous sportspersons and bodybuilders take steroids in order to increase muscle mass, add strength, restore exercise-damaged muscles, etc. But some persons are not ready to assume several risks connected with these medications. It is known that anabolic steroids may lead to certain adverse consequences. One of undesirable results of these medications is hair loss. Thus, certain individuals try to avoid administration of steroids because they don’t want to suffer from this side result. Furthermore, several persons have genetic predisposition to this problem. If they apply several steroids, they may get baldness.
Fortunately, certain adverse results of anabolic steroids may be prevented or at least minimized and treated. As for hair loss, there are some remedies which can help to prevent this problem. There are also such products that have capacity to promote re-growth of hair. Those who have to administer steroids may utilize certain remedies to prevent hair loss or cause re-growth of hair. Which products are useful for this purpose?
Since hair loss occurs because of increased levels of dihydrotestosterone, several individuals use Propecia that blocks dihydrotestosterone and prevents hair loss. But this is not the best medication for prevention of hair loss while administering steroids. Blocking of dihydrotestosterone by this medicine may cause sexual dysfunctions.
Rogaine, Retin-A and Lattisse are useful. Rogaine has got FDA’s approval for treatment of hair loss. Rogaine may be combined with Retin-A or Latisse. Rogaine and Latisse have ability to prevent hair loss that may occur because of anabolic steroids. As for Latisse, it is approved by the FDA for eyelash growth. But it is not approved by the FDA to be administered in case of hair loss. Nonetheless, it is affirmed by some experts that this medicine may be used for re-growth of hair successfully.

May anabolic steroids cause kidney failure in healthy users?

Anabolic steroids are often blamed for different health problems of users. Of course, these drugs may lead to certain adverse reactions. Nevertheless, steroids are often demonized without any reason. It is affirmed often by the media that these preparations cause different health problems, crimes, deaths. But it is important to understand nature of these drugs to see when these drugs should not be demonized.
Let analyze 2 situations. One of the cases is connected with the former American bodybuilder Flex Wheeler. Another case is linked with another former bodybuilder Luke Wood.
The former American bodybuilder Flex Wheeler suffered from kidney failure. This man submitted to a kidney transplant. Since he took steroids, the media chose to demonize these drugs for kidney dysfunctions of Flex Wheeler. Actually, Flex Wheeler had a hereditary kidney disease. Undoubtedly, administration of anabolic steroids contributed to the complications. But did Flex Wheeler administer steroids properly? Did he follow reasonable instructions related to dosages and duration of intake? No, he didn’t. Flex Wheeler applied very enhanced measures of steroids. Moreover, he took these preparations prolonged period of time. In addition to these conditions, the former American bodybuilder applied also other drugs which had negative influence on his kidneys. So, steroids should not be blamed for Flex Wheeler’s disease.
As it has been already noticed, another situation is connected with the former bodybuilder Luke Wood. His death followed after a kidney transplant, being a young man. The media also decided to blame steroids in this case. It was reported that steroids caused kidney dysfunctions in Luke Wood. But you should be informed that Luke Wood used not only steroids. He used also insulin, pain drugs, DNP and other medicines which influenced on the kidneys negatively. So, it is impossible to say that steroids were responsible for his kidney failure and death.
According to many experts, if steroids are administered properly, severe kidney dysfunctions don’t occur.

Mark McGwire: steroid users must not enter Hall of Fame

The American baseball player and coach Mark McGwire acknowledged that he had taken anabolic steroids and HGH.
There are different points of view which are focused on the baseball player’s admission. According to many individuals, Mark McGwire admitted to applying banned drugs because he desired to come back to professional baseball.
Being interviewed, the American baseball player and coach stated lately that he made a mistake when he decided to use anabolic steroids. But Mark McGwire noted that he had used anabolic steroids not for increase of performance. Mark McGwire said that he had used anabolic steroids and HGH just for medical purposes.
It is interesting to notice that when Mark McGwire admitted to administering banned products, his fans and other persons were not surprised at all. Why were not they surprised? They knew about it. Some persons revealed that Mark McGwire used steroids before he made the admission. A FBI informant claimed that the American baseball player had bought Testosterone Cypionate, Testosterone Enanthate, Equipose and Winstrol from the steroid dealer Curtis Wenzlaff and applied these medications.
Another person that reported about intake of steroids by Mark McGwire was the “godfather of steroids” Jose Canseco. He said that he injected Mark McGwire with steroids. But the “godfather” of steroids in baseball was not the first person who helped Mark McGwire to use anabolic steroids. Jay, Mark’s brother, was the first individual that injected the American baseball player with anabolic steroids.
Although Mark McGwire revealed that he had administered steroids, he said nothing about statements pronounced by his brother, Jose Canseco and the FBI informant. He didn’t report whether these statements were true or not.
Mark McGwire claims that he comprehends that he will never enter the Baseball Hall of Fame. Moreover, the admitted steroid user claims that he will never fight to be elected for the Hall of Fame. Mark McGwire expresses respect to all rules connected with baseball. He comprehends that those that have ever used banned drugs must not be voted for the Hall of Fame.

Over 500 persons were contaminated with fungal meningitis while using steroids

More than 500 persons were contaminated with fungal meningitis after they had introduced Methylprednisolone injections produced by the New England Compounding Center (NECC). More than 30 individuals died from this health problem. No one must have doubted that the contamination turned out to be a great tragedy for some individuals and their families. Nevertheless, anti-doping organizations put efforts to benefit from the situation. What did they do? They started blaming 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 saw that anabolic steroids were produced by an underground lab in unsterile conditions. The Bay County Sheriff’s Office claimed that they conducted the investigation in order to prevent contamination with fungal meningitis in future. According to the Bay County Sheriff’s Office, if anyone uses anabolic steroids manufactured in unsterile conditions, he/she may get fungal meningitis.
Actually, the Bay County Sheriff’s Office displayed own ignorance linked with anabolic steroids and risks linked with contamination with fungal meningitis. One may face fungal meningitis, if he/she takes medicines which are injected directly into the central nervous system. Methylprednisolone Acetate injections are administered into the central nervous system. That’s why these contaminated corticosteroids caused the fungal meningitis outbreak. When it comes to anabolic steroids, they are not injected into the central nervous system. They are mainly introduced into muscles. That’s why it is impossible to be contaminated with fungal meningitis while taking anabolic steroids. If you take anabolic steroids which are produced in unsterile conditions, you may get certain additional health problems. But you will never get contaminated with fungal meningitis while applying anabolic steroids for medical or even for athletic purposes.  
So, the fungal meningitis outbreak caused by administration of contaminated Methylprednisolone Acetate injections was just a condition to blame anabolic steroids.  Notice, please: Methylprednisolone Acetate is not an anabolic steroid. It is a corticosteroid.

Tammy Thomas acknowledged that she acted wrongly

The former American female cyclist Tammy Thomas applied the designer steroid THG. As a result, she was sentenced to lifetime suspension.
Tammy Thomas wanted to participate in the 2004 Olympics. Thus, the athlete decided to apply doping products to increase her performance and make her dreams related to the Olympic Games real. But since she was caught administering forbidden medications, she was not allowed to take part in the Olympics.
The American cyclist was accused of lying to the Grand Jury. She was targeted during the BALCO investigation. It was affirmed that the cyclist didn’t say truth about administration of steroids and getting of THG. While she was accused of lying to the Grand Jury, she presented certain arguments in order to defend herself against the accusations.
The cyclist affirmed that she hadn’t used any prohibited remedy. Actually, she was right. At that time THG was not enumerated on the list of banned products. It was claimed to be just an unapproved new medicine. THG was developed by the scientist Patrick Arnold.
While the BALCO foundation sold THG to many sportspersons, it was affirmed that Tammy Thomas obtained this medicine from Patrick Arnold. But the American cyclist denied this statement. Ultimately, she said that Patrick Arnold’s former girlfriend supplied her with THG.
All 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 wholly. She admitted that she acted wrongly. Thus, she decided to alter her life. Being a religious individual, Tammy Thomas believes that God has a 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.

What caused Mariusz Wach’s positive for steroids?

It was affirmed by the German newspaper Bild that Mariusz Wach, a polish boxer, violated anti-doping policy. This person tested positive for anabolic steroids. The drug testing was conducted before the fight between this athlete and the heavyweight boxing world champion Vladimir Klichko.
According to A-sample of Mariusz Wach, he administered steroids. Results of his B-sample are unknown.
It is necessary 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 thinks that it displays that the German Boxing Federation doesn’t do its job appropriately. It lacks professionalism totally.
What did Mariusz Wach say in order to defend himself? Actually, the polish boxer didn’t try to defend himself. The athlete only affirmed that he had never applied any anabolic steroids or other banned medicines knowingly. The sportsperson even affirmed that he didn’t know what he actually used. Mariusz Wach cared only about trainings and proper diets. As for supplements, they were chosen and provided by his trainers. Mariusz Wach trusted his trainers entirely. Mariusz Wach didn’t even ask which dietary supplements were taken by him. The boxer decided to put the whole responsibility linked with supplements on his trainers and he was not interested in the nature of products which were given by his trainers.
Mariusz Wach didn’t try to accuse his trainers of his steroid positive. He only disclosed the reality.
Thus, it is possible to suggest that Mariusz Wach has administered a contaminated dietary supplement. You know, it happens quite frequently that athletes use dietary supplements that turn out to contain steroidal compounds. So, problems start.
If Mariusz Wach’s B-sample indicates that the boxer has applied forbidden products, he will be probably suspended for one year. He will be also sentenced to pay a fine.

Adolescents don’t understand essence of steroids

You probably have read a lot of articles about risks linked with application of steroids by 18-year old boys. It is frequently warned that those that are under 21 years old must not apply anabolic steroids for athletic purposes. Intake of steroids by 18-year old guys is claimed to be very dangerous for their health. But you should know that there are also opposite conceptions. Certain experts say that 18-year old guys may use anabolic steroids without any fear to face severe undesirable consequences. Teenagers are encouraged by such statements. They suggest that if they apply steroids since the age of 18, they are likely to achieve great results in professional sports. Is it true? Although it is allowed for boys since the age of 18 years old to administer steroids, it is better for them to avoid administering these medicines. Why? There are some reasons which are written below:

1. Adolescents don’t become successful athletes with the help of steroids.
Teenagers are informed that many professional sportspersons take anabolic steroids. Adolescents see that these persons are successful. Thus, they suggest that athletes achieve great success with the help of anabolic steroids. But this is a wrong conception. Anabolic steroids are not mysterious products that can make any individual a professional athlete.

2. Teenagers don’t have sufficient knowledge about anabolic steroids.
Since adolescents don’t have knowledge about anabolic steroids, they administer these products wrongly. As a result, they don’t obtain needed benefits; on the contrary, they may face dangerous adverse reactions.

3. Teenagers don’t accompany intake of anabolic steroids by suitable workouts and diets.
Adolescents neglect to have proper workouts and nutrition during administration of anabolic steroids. They should realize that it is very important to have proper workouts and nutrition which are required for their athletic goals.

Admitted steroid users will get amnesty

The USADA wants to define whether you have ever administered anabolic steroids, EPO, HGH and/or other prohibited substances. This fact may surprise you but the anti-doping organization doesn’t intend yet to stop the investigation related to Lance Armstrong’s doping case. So, the investigation goes on. The USADA desires to investigate every cyclist. Especially suspected steroid users will be investigated.
The USADA wants to use the best methods in order to catch those that have ever taken prohibited substances. What is the best method to clean cycling of doping? The USADA tries to set and utilize the best methods. This anti-doping organization is even ready to compare elimination of doping in cycling with that in South Africa.
The USADA says that those who administer steroids and other related medications should be punished. Consumers of steroids and/or other doping products are blamed as if they were criminals. They are frequently compared with those who commit violence and other serious crimes. Steroids are harshly demonized in the society. Thus, the USADA suggests that if steroids and users of steroids are blamed, it will be easier to eradicate doping.
In fact, the USADA asks the International Cycling Association to organize a Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The commission will investigate different cases linked with doping. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission will try to fix why several cyclists have taken anabolic steroids and/or other performance-enhancing drugs but remained undetectable.
Moreover, the USADA promises that “amnesty” will be provided to those who admit to administering steroids and/or other prohibited drugs, ask for forgiveness, repent and tell everything linked with doping to the anti-doping agency, team doctors, teammates, friends, etc. If a former steroid user says only truth, he will get the full amnesty. So, the USADA hopes to clean cycling entirely.
Travis Tygart, the CEO of the USADA, affirms that there are several cyclists connected with Lance Armstrong that have remained undetectable. They should be identified by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

Users of steroids and Adderall

The National Football League is not permitted to make public details, when players fail drug tests. It is just affirmed that certain persons have violated anti-doping program. But the League must not disclose which substances have been administered by these sportspersons. So, some football players cheat about products that have resulted in positives.
Why do several football players choose to lie about substances that have been administered by them? Let try to understand.
A lot of football players that fail drug tests say that they have administered Adderall. In fact, they have taken steroids. Why do they affirm that they have tested positive for Adderall? What does Adderall represent? This is a drug which is used for treatment of attention-deficit disorder. But this medicine is applied not just for this clinical need. Sportspersons and bodybuilders use this preparation for performance-enhancing effects.
When it comes to anabolic steroids, they are widely demonized. Numerous journalists, experts, anti-doping officers and ordinary individuals affirm that these preparations are too dangerous. They may cause various severe unwanted results. Steroids are demonized even for several crimes. But when it comes to Adderall, this product is not demonized in the society. So, many football players try to avoid criticism. They don’t want to be demonized for administration of such forbidden products, as steroids. Since users of Adderall are not criticized harshly, football players say that they have failed drug tests because they have administered Adderall.
A football player compared this situation with following cases: those who are caught with cocaine tell others that they have taken marijuana because cocaine is more harshly blamed than the last one.
You should not suggest that every football player who says that he has tested positive for Adderall has actually taken anabolic steroids. But it is possible to conclude that those that administer Adderall are less blamed than those who administer steroids.

Freddie Roach’s method to eradicate doping from boxing

Freddie Roach is a famous American trainer in boxing. He coaches the famous boxer Manny Pacquiao. The trainer claims that he knows the best method to eradicate the problem of steroid use in boxing. According to this trainer, strength and conditioning coaches should be blamed for intake of anabolic steroids and other related medications in this sport. He affirms that they educate boxers to take performance-enhancing drugs. Thus, Freddie Roach affirms that it is needed to get rid of every strength and conditioning coach. It will lead to eliminating of steroid use from boxing.
What does Freddie Roach believe about essential changes that have occurred in physique and performance of the boxer Juan Manuel Marquez. In fact, there are different opinions about this athlete and essential changes in him. A lot of persons think that he has administered steroids which have induced these changes in him. When it comes to Freddie Roach, he supposes that Angel Guillermo Memo Heredia has provided anabolic steroids to Juan Manuel Marquez.
Memo Heredia is an admitted distributor of steroids. He acknowledged that he had provided steroids to numerous top athletes. Since he collaborated with prosecutors and revealed names of some sportspersons who used anabolic steroids, he was not charged with any crimes connected with distribution of anabolic steroids.
Thus, Freddie Roach thinks that strength and conditioning coaches like Memo Heredia should be pushed from boxing. It is the best method to eliminate administration of steroids and other related medicines from boxing.
It is interesting to mention that Manny Pacquiao, Freddie Roach’s client, has a strength coach too. Does it mean that this famous boxer uses steroids and/or other related medications? Freddie Roach believes 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 not true. Actually, the trainer Freddie Roach says that he doesn’t like to pronounce any accusations related to intake of anabolic steroids and other related drugs. But he has to do it because this is the essence 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 is accused of administration of synthol

The Egyptian bodybuilder Moustafa Ismail has the largest arms in the world. His name was recorded in the Guinness book of the world records. This guy claims that his large biceps are natural. He says that he has the largest biceps in the world because he has very strict diets and workouts. The bodybuilder eats chickens, almonds and fish each day. Moustafa Ismail also consumes much water and protein shakes.
However it is obvious that diets and trainings have significant role, a lot of people doubt about natural arms of Moustafa Ismail. It is hard to believe that suitable workouts and nutrition can cause such increase in arms. Which conditions are responsible for the massive arms of the Egyptian bodybuilder?
When it was announced that Moustafa Ismail’s arms were 32 inches, accusations connected with application of steroids appeared soon. Some people suppose that steroids are responsible for the large arms of this guy. What did Moustafa Ismail affirm about intake of steroids? He said that he had used steroids while living in Egypt. Purchase and application of these products are legal under laws of this country. These drugs are offered for sale at any pharmacy in Egypt. Furthermore, anabolic steroids are cheap there. But Moustafa Ismail claimed that he had to discontinue applying these preparations, when he moved to the USA. It is know that purchase and administration of these products without a prescription are claimed to be criminal under laws of the US. These products are purchased on the black market by those that administer them in the US illegally. Thus, Moustafa Ismail discontinued using these preparations after he moved to the USA.
But if even Moustafa Ismail uses steroids, it doesn’t matter because these drugs don’t enhance arms. They are not responsible for Moustafa Ismail’s large arms.
There are other remedies which can increase arms. They are called “site enhancement oils” (SEO). Synthol is one of the most frequently applied SEO. This preparation is taken by bodybuilders. It is taken in order to increase muscles in circumference. Thus, it is suggested that Moustafa Ismail takes Synthol. However, Moustafa Ismail claims that he doesn’t apply this product.
Moustafa Ismail says that he is hurt by accusations related to anabolic steroids and Synthol. He has been subjected to examination conducted by an independent doctor that hasn’t found  any abnormality in the arms of this person. So, it is not clear whether his arms are natural or not.

Role of Lance Armstrong in doping is exaggerated in professional cycling

Although you probably don’t know anything about Scott Mercier, his affirmations linked with application of doping products in professional cyclist spread very quickly. This athlete belonged to the US Postal Cycling team before Lance Armstrong’s arrival. Certain statements of Scott Mercier revealed the truth that was hidden in cycling.
In fact, the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) made incorrect conclusions related to role of Lance Armstrong in doping. The famous American cyclist was accused and found guilty of application of banned drugs throughout his athletic career. While it may be true, the USADA claimed 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 said that their team doctor Pedro Celaya offered a special program for the US Postal Cycling team. He discussed about the program with each cyclist. The doctor affirmed that they had to ride 200-250 km per day. Furthermore, the doctor organized doping program that had to accompany workouts. So, he supplied US Postal Cycling team’s athletes with steroids, EPO and some other remedies.
These recommendations were offered by Pedro Celaya, when Lance Armstrong didn’t ride professionally. This athlete suffered from testicular cancer that time. There was no any doubt that Lance Armstrong would not be able to ride professionally. His cancer spread throughout his body, including brain. After this man experienced chemotherapy he tried to get recovery. Thus, Lance Armstrong didn’t have any relation to the team. He didn’t induce administering doping products in professional cycling. It became obvious that doping was established by Pedro Celaya before Lance Armstrong’s arrival.
During 1990s professional riders administered Andriol. Then they administered testosterone patches. Under guidelines of Pedro Celaya cyclists used the method of overdosing in order to avoid detection by anti-doping agencies.

Melky Cabrera signed $16 million contract with Toronto Blue Jays

Intake of anabolic steroids and some other medications is prohibited in numerous sports organizations, including the Major League Baseball (MLB). Sportspersons that are caught taking prohibited products are sentenced to bans, fines, etc. Although sportspeople know about these factors, many of them continue administering steroids and/or other banned drugs. As a result, several athletes spoil their athletic reputation totally. Nevertheless, some sportspeople succeed, if even they violate anti-doping rules.
Let take the MLB player Melky Cabrera as an example. This athlete played baseball for San Francisco Giants. He was considered 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 suspended.
Melky Cabrera attempted to change the decision and appealed it. He stated that a dietary supplement caused his positive. Certain persons desired to help him in that situation. So, a fake site was created. An advertisement for a non-existing tainted supplement was posted. But the cheat was unmasked. The baseball player had to serve the suspension.
While he was banned, the San Francisco Giants saw that they could win without him.
Recently the Dominican baseball player obtained a $16 million contract. He 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 significant sums of money.
This is only an example which demonstrates that administration of banned preparations doesn’t destruct athletic careers in certain cases.

Myogenix labeled Spawn as dietary supplement

Dietary supplements companies often label anabolic steroids as dietary supplements. So, they sell these illegal preparations. They bamboozle the Drug Enforcement Administration and clients that buy such preparations. As a result, several athletes test positive for forbidden substances while they affirm that they have never taken any steroid or another prohibited medicine. Dietary supplements companies should be demonized for such conditions.
For example, Myogenix is a dietary supplement company that is in California. This company admitted that they sold a synthetic steroid that was labeled as a dietary supplement. It was named Spawn. The following substances composed it: 19-Norandrosta-4,9 diene-3,17 dione and 2a,3a-epithio-17a-methyletioallocholanol. Thus, the supplement Spawn contained 2 steroids but it was marketed as a dietary supplement.
The company Myogenix admitted to selling Spawn between 2007 and 2009. The company was enforced to pay a fine of $500.000. Moreover, the company forfeited $100.000 immediately.
According to the decision of the judge, products produced and sold by this company will be tested for 5 years by an independent organization. All new dietary supplements should be tested carefully and approved by the FDA before Myogenix will be allowed to sell them.
In fact, Myogenix should thank the defense attorney Rick Collins that has defended the company. He defended the owners and other stuff of the company efficaciously. No one was sentenced to prison. This lawyer was hired to defend also other companies that were linked to the site Bodybuilding.com. These companies also were sentenced just to fines and money seizures.
