Canadian Football League gave to Jordan Matechuk second chance

The Canadian football player Jordan Matechuk was busted by the US Customs and Border Patrol (CBP). He was caught possessing more than 540 tablets of oral steroids and over 260 ml of injectable steroids, when he was returning to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats training camp. Jordan Matechuk said that his depression was responsible for the decision to purchase and apply anabolic steroids.
The football player noted that he took anabolic steroids and marijuana in order to be capable to get rid of his depression. He said that earlier he had administered anti-depressant medicines. Discontinuing administering anti-depressants probably resulted in usage of steroids.
Jordan Matechuk affirmed that he suffered from depression. He started to utilize anabolic steroids and marijuana in order to feel better. He admitted that he was responsible for this condition. He wouldn’t have stopped using anti-depressants. But he discontinued using them. This factor led to administration of steroids.
The football player 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 Matechuk was released after he served just 60 days.
Jordan Matechuk stated that there were certain other conditions but he decided to keep them confidential.
The Canadian Football League provided 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 the arrest related to possession and administration 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 give him the second chance. So, he was happily accepted by this team.

Bodybuilder smuggled over 3 kg of raw steroid powder to Australia

Brenton Dowell, an Australian bodybuilder, was caught possessing and illegally importing great quantities of anabolic steroids in March 2011. It was determined that these steroids could be sufficient to be utilized for more than 60 years by one user. A lot of people believed that this bodybuilder would be sentenced to prison. But Dowell escaped from imprisonment successfully.
The Australian Customs and Border Protection Service noted that this bodybuilder had tried to import illegally more than 3, 000 g of testosterone powder. The packages with the raw steroid powder were mailed in September, October and November 2011. They were shipped to 3 various places: to the home of Dowell, to his father and his stepfather.
Actually, such large amounts of raw testosterone powder could be bought only for manufacture of anabolic steroids by underground labs for selling them on the black market. 3 kg of raw testosterone powder could be utilized for getting of 1500 10-ml vials with ready products.
Len Hartnett, the defense attorney for Brenton Dowell, claimed that the steroid powder had been bought for his client’s personal use. He noted that Dowell’s use of steroids was a response to bullying attacks that he received, when he was an overweight boy. Thus, according to the defense attorney, Brenton Dowell became addicted to bodybuilding and started to take steroids because he was an overweight kid.
The judge Graeme Hicks was impressed by words of the defense attorney that presented experiences of Brenton Dowell in his childhood. He added that it could be concluded that Dowell had become obsessed by bodybuilding.
So, 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 ordered steroids personal use and for sales to his friends in order to pay off self-administration.
Brenton Dowell was sentenced to a fine of 10, 000 dollars and 2-year suspended sentence.

Steroids are blamed for death of a steroid user

Georgina Howarth, a pathologist, claimed that the death of Mohammed Belkhair, a 19-year guy, had been caused by usage of anabolic steroids. She noticed that anabolic steroids had led to heart failure which had resulted in the death.
According to the pathologist Howarth, if this teenager had not utilized steroids, he would have lived today. She said that administration of steroids was the only cause of the death. Howarth noticed that the death of this guy was a lesson for every person to stay far from such products.
Mohammed Belkhair’s sister found him vomiting in his room on May, 2011. The boy admitted that he had utilized steroids. The death occurred at the same day. It was reported that steroids had been presented in his system.
According to some articles, DHEA and Tamoxifen were 2 steroids that were found in the system of the teenager. DHEA is sold overall in Britain and in the USA.
But in fact, the news is misleading. Tamoxifen doesn’t belong to anabolic steroids. This preparation has been initially elaborated to cure persons who have breast cancer. It has become widespread among sportspeople and bodybuilders that use steroids due to its ability to prevent aromatization of other preparations.
It seems to be strange but nothing was mentioned about arrest of Mohammed Belkhair. This condition might contribute in his death. This boy 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.
Although the police encounter and arrest occurred several hours before the death of this teenager, the doctor Georgina Howarth didn’t investigate these conditions. Furthermore, she didn’t present any explanation about this aspect. Police officers released nothing too.
Since it was noted that Mohammed Belkhair had ordered steroids per internet, the news connected 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 purchases of steroids online illegal in Britain. The British government wants to make personal import of steroids per mail and per internet criminal. It will be in near future. However it is said that these laws will be enacted before the Olympics, they are not still enacted.

Olympic minister of Britain: it is necessary to have universal legislation linked with sentencing of athletes that use steroids

Officials of the British government will be not capable to stop athletes importing steroids to the UK, when they come to take part in the 2012 Olympics. However application of steroids is prohibited in sports, personal usage of these medicines is not illegal in the UK. Just sale of steroids is considered to be illicit in this country. So, if a person desires to import amount of anabolic steroids which is evidentially large, he/she will not be allowed to do it.
Before Olympics took place in Australia, Canada and China, governments of these countries modified legislation linked with import and intake of steroids at least temporally. But the British government doesn’t agree to alter steroid laws for the 2012 Olympics.
Ironically, while the British government refuses to make personal administration of steroids criminal, Britain sportspeople are banned for lifetime, if they utilize anabolic steroids. When it comes to the WADA Code, sportspeople who use banned preparations are banned for 2 years.
Hugh Robertson, the Olympic minister, notes that it is important to have a universal policy linked with sentencing. He insists on at least four years or even longer.  However he is supported by the British Olympic Association, the UK Anti-Doping Agency doesn’t support such harsh punishment. The CEO of the UK Anti-Doping Agency Andi Parkinson considers that several sanctions should be softened.
The Olympic minister admits 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 announced that any sportsperson can have steroids in his/her luggage, when he/she comes to London. But the quantity of steroids should display that he/she has them only for personal intake. The spokesman has added that it is not illegal for a sportsperson to administer steroids under laws of the UK but if any sportsperson is caught administering prohibited preparations, he/she will be punished under anti-doping laws.
The UKAD noted that they would cooperate with border control officers. Information about athletes will be utilized by anti-doping agencies.
5, 000 drug tests will be conducted by the International Olympic Committee. 1, 000 of these tests will be blood tests.

Ventricle relaxation in steroid users is reduced by half

Prolonged usage of anabolic steroids may cause various heart diseases. It increases risks connected with heart failure. These affirmations have been made due to a study that has been written in Circulation: Heart Failure, an American Heart Association journal.
Anabolic-androgenic steroids act like the hormone testosterone that occurs naturally and that is responsible for development of male sex characteristics.
The leader of the research Aaron L. Baggish says that in addition to the factor that anabolic steroids are illegal, they are connected with unwanted consequences for health. He notices that it is the first time, when negative effect of long-term application of steroids on heart is clearly recognized.
The study manifested that the left ventricle in users of steroids was substantially weaker during contraction than in those that didn’t take steroids.
A left ventricle that works appropriately pumps out 55-70 % of the blood which fills the heart.
 12 users of steroids were enrolled in the research. It was manifested 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 just one person had disorders related to the function of the left ventricle.
The study manifested that ventricle relaxation among consumers of steroids was reduced by circa 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: steroid users and non-users.
It was applied the technique “Doppler echocardiography” for examination of function and structure of the left ventricle. This technique 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 administered approximately 675 mg of steroids a week for 9 years. Another group included weightlifters that didn’t administer steroids. Both groups had the same physical activity and the same risks linked with heart disorders. But they had differences in body weight and muscle size. The consumers of steroids had more muscular physiques.
Although small number of steroid users has been included in the research, the results have displayed that there is a close connection between application of steroids and heart impairment.
The experts decided to conduct further researches in order to support the findings.
Baggish and his co-investigators think that people will recognize that intake of steroids can results in heart problems and various unexplained heart disorders in young persons.

Each serious bodybuilder had regular jobs, starting his career in bodybuilding

Bodybuilding doesn’t belong to exciting sports. Any bodybuilder can support this affirmation. Those who are involved in bodybuilding spend much time at gyms, training; they prepare proper food and make continuous researches. What is this work done for? – Just for 30 seconds on stage. Undoubtedly, if bodybuilders reach high results, they get awards, fame, and admiration of others. Their pictures are posted on covers of fit magazines. They become celebrated.
Unfortunately, the most of bodybuilders never achieve this level because it is required a lot of work and money for this goal. But any bodybuilder dreams about this level: to be a top bodybuilder, to obtain money and other awards. If you have any interest to find out what is needed for success in bodybuilding, you may look at Jay Cutler and certain other individuals. You may also find out role of steroids for achievement of success in bodybuilding.
Jay Cutler is one of the most famous bodybuilders in history. Moreover, he has got Mr. Olympia titles 4 times. This bodybuilder spends much time for sports. He notes that he doesn’t make plans. He eats around the clock. Jay Cutler consumes 4, 000 – 7, 000 calories daily. Chicken breasts are at the center of his many meals.
It is interesting to mention that Jay Cutler spends more time for eating than for workouts. He lifts for circa two hours and gets cardio an hour per day. Cutler confirms that his day differs essentially from thoughts of people about it. Those that are not involved in bodybuilding think that bodybuilders train 8 hours a day. They think that if they administer steroids, they will have the same appearance like professional bodybuilders.
Jay Cutler claims that steroids are not everything in bodybuilding but they play a significant role in it. He claims that if anyone desires to reach great success in sports, he/she should administer steroids. Ron Stevens, who is in the sport 15 years, supports the affirmation of Jay Cutler about steroids. He adds that it is impossible to compete without application of these products. After certain shows Ron Stevens decided to apply steroids.
Stevens is a dedicated bodybuilder as well. He eats much food that could be enough for a family that consists of five members.
The most of bodybuilders don’t have great supplement contracts. They don’t have enough money in order to support their efforts and obtain titles of Mr. Olympia.
In fact, the most of serious bodybuilders have regular jobs and dream that they will reach evident success one day.
Cutler had two jobs. This bodybuilder worked and spent every dollar he received for bodybuilding. Finally, he reached great success. His every effort was paid off.
Thinking over Jay Cutler, any bodybuilder may be encouraged in hopes that he will succeed greatly one day. Uncelebrated bodybuilders may dream at least.

The UFC President tries to convince public that the UFC struggles seriously against doping

The UFC President Dana White tries to defend UFC efforts against administration of controlled substances.  The UFC President confirms that the UFC fights seriously to push doping products out of sports. He confirms that they do more than any other sport organization for this purpose.
Unfortunately, affirmations of Dana White are pronounced just for public relations purposes. They are wholly false. The UFC doesn’t do more than any other sport organization, fighting against administration of forbidden preparations.
The UFC President suggests that it is impossible to perform random drug testing in the UFC. He says that they have 375 fighters under contract. The UFC President notices that it is impossible to perform random tests because these athletes live everywhere; they travel around the world. He finds it unreal to travel in different countries, seeking these 375 persons, in order to test them continually.
While Dana White wants to prove that it is impossible to test randomly 375 UFC guys, other sport organizations do it with their athletes. They perform random testing successfully.
It isn’t wholly clear what happens actually. Does Dana White want to mislead media about usage of banned medications by the UFC fighters? Or is he ignorant entirely, when it comes to the rules 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 agreement with the laws of the WADA. They have own principles and fight against the WADA Code. However the UFC affirms that they try to protect their sports from intake of performance-enhancing drugs by the WADA laws, the reality indicates that it is not true. The UFC rules are miserable in comparison with those of the WADA. Try to comprehend it!

Santos Cyborg confirms that her only mistake was to use a weight loss agent

Every fan of Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos and every fan of Ronda Rousey wanted to hear an open respond of Santos to her positives for the anabolic steroid Winstrol. Finally the fighter Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos responded openly. She pronounced a speech that was presented by MMAPrime.tv. The female fighter presented her speech in Portuguese.

It was reported that Cyborg Santos tested positive for Winstrol during the Strikeforce: Melendez vs Masvidal in San Diego in December 2011. She claimed that she had never administered anabolic steroids intentionally. This female fighter affirmed that she had applied a weight loss agent that had been supplied by a member of her camp.
The female mixed martial artist said that she hadn’t known that the preparation was a steroid. She affirmed that it had been her mistake that she had trusted that member of her camp.
Santos put efforts to make it clear that people who said that she was a cheater were mistaken. The mixed martial artist noticed that the only her mistake was to use a compound that could help her to escape from extra weight.
Santos Cyborg was sentenced to 12-month ban by the California State Athletic Commission. She lost her Strikeforce Women’s Championship title.
Santos’ appeal related to her ban was scheduled on April 9, 2012.
After Santos tested positive for Winstrol, Ronda Rousey affirmed that she always suggested that Cyborg took steroids because her muscles displayed it.  Ronda noticed that everybody knew that Santos Cyborg had used steroids. Ronda added that nobody should be allowed to apply prohibited substances in order to win. Ronda concluded that it was a great thing that Santos Cyborg had been caught.
Everybody is looking forward to a fight between Santos Cyborg and Ronda Rousey. Who will be the winner?

The death of Mike Wallace renewed the public interest to the case related to Roger Clemens

Mike Wallace, an excellent investigative journalist, who was one of the initial correspondents of CBS’ 60 Minutes died, when he was 93 years old. This journalist made brilliant interviews with world well-known persons. The most recent stories were connected with the former professional baseball player Roger Clemens and accusations related to application of anabolic steroids and HGH by this sportsperson. Mike Wallace’s last appearance on TV was related to this case.
The interview with Roger Clemens about steroids was hosted 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 Brian McNamee, his former personal coach. This coach accused Roger Clemens in application of anabolic steroids and HGH. He cooperated with Mitchell Report investigators, when they tried to determine the extent of steroid use in the Major League Baseball.
Wallace didn’t enforce Clemens to tell that he administered steroids. He just encouraged him to prove to others that he had used neither steroids, nor HGH. Clemens stated that he would pull a tractor with his teeth, if he had applied steroids.
The interview of Clemens was an unsuccessful public relations maneuver for Rusty Hardin. It was not the best interview. But it renewed the interest after Wallace’s death.
Actually, Wallace presented much more interesting interviews during his career. The steroid interview with Roger Clemens was not the most interesting. Why did it draw every person’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 named the Watergate scandal “perjury”. He enumerated such methods of Richard Nixon, as thefts, spying, obstruction of justice, etc. The scandal led to resignation of the president.
The Iranian leader Ayatollah Khomeini was also interviewed by Wallace. The reporter named him a “lunatic”. However, he was quoting the president Anwar el-Sadat of Egypt.
Another individual who was interviewed by Wallace was the Vice President of Research and Development at a tobacco company. Jeffrey Wigand noted during the interview that executives of the company lied before the Congress about their knowledge connected with nature of nicotine.
Although these interviews were significant, a lot of people directed their attention to insignificant interview with the former baseball player Roger Clemens. It may be because while lying of Roger Clemens before the Congress may result in federal war on steroids, the war on nicotine will never take place.

Mustard and its ability to increase lean muscle mass

Certain late studies have set some positive effects of mustard. It is known by everyone that it is a good remedy that adds pleasant flavor to meal. Furthermore, it has been determined that mustard may help to lose fat and improve physical appearance.
A research connected with mustard has been led by Debora Esposito and his colleagues at North Carolina University in Kannapolis (USA). It has been confirmed under results of the study that a compound that is called “homobrassinolide” found in mustard and other related herbs has capacity to enhance lean muscle size and energy in mammals.
28-Homobrassinolide is a brassinosteroid. It is a type of steroid that has been found in plants that are included in Brassica family. It has been known that it is capable to induce growing plants. But no one has been aware about its role in mammals. The experts have discovered that homobrassinolide has capacity to lead to anabolic effects in mammals. It induces enhancing synthesis of protein, stimulates appetite and enhances muscle size through increase of number and size of muscle fibers in animals.
Healthy rats have been involved in the study. They have been given oral homobrassinolide during 24 days. Dual-emission x-ray absorptiometry analysis has been applied in order to monitor changes in weight, food consumption and composition of rats’ bodies. It has been determined that animals that have been given homobrassinolide have obtained essentially more muscle mass than those that have not received this compound.
Enhancement of muscle size indicates about a higher basal metabolic rate. High BMR is associated with great caloric burning which helps to remain lean.
Thus, the study has clearly shown that homobrassinolide enhances protein synthesis, increases size and number of muscle fibers which play a great role for increase of energy.
Experts suppose that such plants, as mustard, can be applied for more enhanced brassinosteroid content. It may help to have lean muscle mass, increase it and prevent several health problems.
It is suggested that future supplement and medicine industry will introduce products which will be efficient in case of several illnesses connected with muscle wasting. Such preparations may be utilized as alternative products to synthetic steroids because the first ones will probably have minimal or no negative results.
Leaves of mustard have little calories. They are rich in antioxidants. Leaves of mustard have anti-inflammatory properties. Moreover, they represent a good source of iron, magnesium, fiber, selenium and phosphorous.
Mustard can be utilized 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 acquire several benefits.

The physician Beltran supplied famous athletes with steroids and other related medications

Mossos d’Esqudra and Spain’s Policia Nacional conducted a steroid investigation that led to arrest of 10 individuals that were involved in a steroid chain. These persons provided top amateur and professional sportspeople and even Olympic athletes with anabolic steroids, HGH, EPO, CERA and other related medications.  The investigation was called “Operacion Skype”. The steroid ring was located in Barcelona.
The investigation was originally linked with David Garcia Dapena, a professional cyclist, that tested positive for EPO after the 2010 Vuelta a Espana. It was defined that the cyclist had enhanced hematocrit levels that indicated about usage of EPO.
Garcia didn’t deny intake of the forbidden product. He collaborated with the police officials. The cyclist acknowledged that he had purchased product with performance-enhancing effects from the doctor Alberto Beltran Nino.
It was discovered that Beltran had been the leader of an organization linked with sophisticated doping. This organization supplied cyclists and other sportspersons with forbidden medications. It was also defined that certain sportspersons that took part in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the 2010 Vuelta a Espana, the 2009 Tour du Portugal and the 2012 Spanish Athletics Championships were included in the group of sportspersons that bought steroids and other forbidden medicines from this doping organization.
It was even earlier supposed that Beltran supplied sportspersons with steroids and other related drugs and taught them how to avoid being caught. This doctor was arrested in Italy after he was caught driving his car which contained steroids and other related drugs.
The Portuguese professional cyclist Nuno Ribeiro accused the doctor Beltran in injecting him with prohibited drugs after he tested positive for CERA in 2009.
Jose Luis Blanco, a sprinter, assisted in the steroid investigation that had been led against Beltran after this sportsman 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.
Nevertheless, the police suppose that he has set up a team of intermediaries in various countries. They have purchased steroids and other related drugs and supplied top athletes with them.
Beltran was detained in Madrid in March 2012 by police officers. He was caught possessing AICAR and TB-500.
However no any sportsperson has tested positive for these preparations, it is suspected that certain athletes have planned to use these medicines.

What have you to know about AndroGel dosage for acquiring needed benefits?

Generally, it is indicated to begin with the AndroGel dosage of 5 mg a day. The quantity is regulated during the treatment. If serum testosterone levels are essentially decreased, the quantity should be enhanced. If the levels are more enhanced than the normal rate, the therapy with this medication must be discontinued.

Prostitutes from Bangladesh administer corticosteroids to look healthy

Young females in Bangladesh that are involved in prostitution take steroids to get weight and bulk up. It has been reported by Reuters. The article’s headline has the following words: “dark steroid secret”. It is written that prostitutes from Bangladesh administer steroids in order to look better. Of course, the first thoughts that come in mind in this situation are linked with abuse of anabolic steroids. But reading the article completely and more attentively, each person may notice that it is written not about anabolic steroids but about corticosteroids.
One of corticosteroids that are getable at pharmacies of Bangladesh is known under the trade name Oradexon. It is not required to have a prescription in order to purchase this medicine. It costs circa 15 taka that equal to 0, 18 USD dollars. An alternative name of this medication is Dexamethasone. This is an anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant drug which is recommended for treatment of people that suffer various illnesses. This medication is over 25 times more powerful that the natural steroid hormone cortisol.
90 % of prostitutes at the 15 legal whorehouses from Bangladesh apply the corticosteroid Oradexon. 90 % equal to 900 young prostitutes that use this corticosteroid regularly. They use it by own choice or are enforced to do it. Thus, some of them are enforced to apply it. But others apply this medicine willingly because it is said that corticosteroids are able to add strength and improve health.
It seems to be ironically but sex workers from Bangladesh  that administer corticosteroids have the same purposes like those which encourage bodybuilders to utilize anabolic steroids. Prostitutes utilize corticosteroids in order to improve physical appearance, gain weight and increase appetite.
It is claimed that Oradexon may give healthy appearance to consumers. It is appreciated by customers. A lady who is involved in prostitution in Bangladesh confirms that customers are looking for healthy girls. Since she needs money to pay her bills and loans, she needs 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, adverse reactions which may appear due to corticosteroids are much more dangerous than those that can be provoked by application of anabolic steroids. Corticosteroids can suppress immune system, cause osteoporosis and insulin resistance, stimulate appetite essentially, and increase weight and fat.
Experts try to draw people’s attention to abuse of corticosteroids and possible undesirable effects of them.

Indications linked with AndroGel for bodybuilding!
In addition to common indications to this gel, it is important to obey some particular indications, when it comes to intake of AndroGel for bodybuilding. Bodybuilders that want to receive muscle mass due to this preparation are required to do exercises that implicate large muscles during application of this drug. Bench presses, leg presses, squats and arm curls have to be done. When it comes to cardio exercises, they must be avoided during usage of AndroGel for bodybuilding. It is necessary to have also certain diets, if you want to get essential results. You food must be rich in protein and starchy carbohydrate.

“Non-human” urine samples were provided for drug testing in the NFL

The National Football League sentenced to suspensions the linebacker D. J. Williams and defensive lineman Ryan McBean of the team Denver Broncos for violation of steroid policy. They were suspended from 6 games. But they were not suspended for administration of steroids. They didn’t test positive for steroids or other prohibited medications. They were accused in providing “non-human” urine samples to the drug testing officer.
D. J. William said in an interview that he had never tested for any forbidden drug during 8 years of his career. The linebacker noted that he was proud of his records. The football player claimed that he was also proud of his manner in that he conducted himself, being a sportsperson.
Peter Schaffer, the defensive attorney for McBean, confirmed that the NFL had violated rights of this player. He noted that since McBean had never tested positive for any forbidden product, the NFL didn’t have any right to sentenced him to ban.
Peter Schaffer noticed that he desired to make it clear that neither D. J. Williams, nor Ryan McBean tested positive for forbidden substances.
A lawsuit was filed in Denver County Court against suspensions of these players of the NFL.
D. J. Williams and Ryan McBean affirmed that the drug testing officer had violated several rules linked with the procedure of collecting urine samples.
Schaffer noticed that some similarities had been between his client and Ryan Braun. Braun won his appeal linked with his suspension from 50 games for intake of testosterone. Ryan Braun could prove that Dino Laurenzi, the drug testing officer, violated steroid policy.
As for Laurenzi, different anti-doping agencies defended and supported him. The WADA also supported him. It was said 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 wrong doing his duty.
At the hearing the NFL administrators acknowledged that the drug testing officer violated the rules linked with collection of urine samples.
Nonetheless, the appeal on behalf of the players was rejected.

Not each product which is sold as a dietary supplement is safe

What can be called “a medication”? The FDA claims that a drug is a substance; it is not a supplement. It is taken for diagnosis, cure, prevention of illnesses, for appropriate influence on body’s functions. It is possible to add that a medication is a medication that has nothing common with politics and great money.
But there is certain confusion today. A law that has been established in 1994 by Senators Orrin Hatch and Tom Harkin has caused the confusion between supplements and medicines. So, mega-billion dollar supplements industry has promoted developing the disorder in clear definitions. Consumers’ ignorance and several legislative affirmations with doubled sense have played great role in creation of following wrong conception: anything that is sold is safe.
This wrong conception led to different serious troubles. For example, over a year ago two young soldiers of the U. S. Army died due to usage of so-called “dietary supplements” Jack3d and OxyElite Pro. The case is still investigated. Actually, it has been set that those soldiers had administered an amphetamine-like synthetic substance which has been called “dimethylamylamine”. It affected their cardiovascular and nervous systems. Since it has altered function of bodies, it is a medicine. However it is a banned compound used by sportspersons, it is purchasable at the Vitamin Shoppe or GNC.
Health stores offer for sales products which are similar to that substance mentioned above. They are purchasable as dietary supplements but it is not true.
Another product is DHEA. It represents a steroid that may be converted in consumers’ systems into anabolic steroids or neurohormonal steroids. This aspect influences on physiological functions of body. Is it a dietary supplement really?
Another product that is labeled as a dietary supplement is RockHard Weekend. It contains various substances. But does anyone know which substances are contained in the bottle? May anybody be sure that they are safe for usage?
One of people’s mistakes is that they believe the following way: if any preparation is made of plants, it is safe for application. A lot of persons confirm that such supplements can’t have negative influence on body’s functions. It is wrong to believe this way. There are plants which are toxicant. It is banned to consume them.
Hemlock was the poison that caused Socrates’ death. It was derived from certain herb. Ricin that is claimed to be one of the most toxicant substances on the Earth is derived from a castor been roots. That’s why it is important to know what you apply in order to avoid administering products which contain any poison, regardless they are from herbs or not.
Why are companies allowed to sell medications 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 elaborate products that are labeled as supplements. But are they really supplements? Some medications are purchasable, being marketed as dietary supplements. But it is wrong completely. These substances may be unsafe.
Does anybody believe that anabolic steroids and other related preparations may be marketed as dietary supplements? Do they supplement or treat? A term was elaborated in order to avoid using medical terms. This term is “to support”. What does this verb mean? Isn’t it a wink to the term “to cure”?
The FDA intends 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 set whether new medicines are safe. Some of them fail to be called “safe” due to dangerous undesirable reactions. But as for manufacturers of supplements, they don’t have these troubles because there do not have such requirements in supplement industry.
Supplement requirements are related to money and not to science. Actually, they should have the same requirements like those that are established for pharmaceutical companies.

Essential aspects about Anavar results

One of the most important characteristics is that   there is no any problem to maintain Anavar results. Positive effects of this steroid are shown as well, in case it is used for several clinical purposes.

Who encourages young athletes to take steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs?

Brian McNamee affirms that coaches are the main individuals that induce intake of anabolic steroids. The convicted distributor of steroids claims that trainers have the most relevant influence on decisions of young sportspeople to apply banned substances. Their influence is larger than one of street dealers who offer banned drugs for sales, trying to convince young sportspersons that they can succeed due to administration of these preparations. Brian McNamee suggests that coaches and the society teach young athletes that they should win at any cost. This factor pressures students that go info sports. It leads to their decision to apply steroids and other related medications.
Brian McNamee was invited to share his point of view at the Nassau Counselors Association’s conference. He pronounced some comments  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 coach who has injected Roger Clemens with anabolic steroids and HGH. It was claimed that he stored all syringes and vials which were used for injecting Roger Clemens with steroids during about seven years. He 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 published in December 2007. Testimonies of Brian McNamee and Kirk Radomski were the base for publishing 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 which was achieved due to charges linked with steroids.
The agreement also requires testimony of McNamee as a government witness in the trial of Roger Clemens. He couldn’t report details linked 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 another trial.

Shaquille O’Neal said that he has secret ways that can help him to neutralize effects caused by steroids in Jose Canseco

It has been lately affirmed that Jose Canseco and Shaquille O’Neal have discussed their possibility to fight against each other in a match of mixed martial arts. O’Neal challenged him last year but Jose Canseco didn’t take the challenge seriously. Just now Jose Canseco changed his attitude.
Some persons affirm 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 have a steroid test before starting playing in this team. But as it is reported, he takes Testosterone Cypionate and HCG that are indicated by his doctor for testosterone replacement therapy. Although he has justified medical needs for intake of these preparations, he has to get some specified documents to be allowed to play baseball professionally. While his fate connected with playing professional baseball is not yet clear, he intends to fight against O’Neal in a ring.
O’Neal has noticed that he is ready to fight against Jose Canseco. He added that he had challenged Canseco long ago.
O’Neal doesn’t worry that Canseco applies anabolic steroids. He possesses own secret methods and he hopes that he is able to neutralize effects of Jose Canseco which are caused by usage of Testosterone Cypionate.
Jose Canseco was scheduled to fight against the former player of the MLB Lenny Dykstra. When this guy played professional baseball, he also took anabolic steroids.
Randall Lane notices 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 promoted causing steroid revolution in baseball.
Jeff Scott, a bodybuilder from Florida, confirmed that he supplied Lenny Dykstra with performance-enhancing drugs at sums of 20, 000 dollars. He also mentioned that he injected Dykstra with steroids numerous times.
But the fight between Dykstra and Jose Canseco never occurred because Dykstra was prosecuted on certain counts, including thefts, false financial statements and possession of illicit products. As a result, he was sentenced to prison.
O’Neil offered to fight against Jose Canseco instead of Dykstra. He asked Dana White, the president of UFC, to arrange a ring with Jose Canseco. Jose Canseco accepted the challenge of O’Neil.

The BOA bans athletes that use steroids for the whole life

The British Olympic Association put efforts to justify itself for the fact that it breaks Code of the World Anti-Doping Agency. According to laws of the WADA, punishment for administration of anabolic steroids and other related drugs should be the same around the  world. The punishment which is indicated for a sportsperson that has utilized prohibited drugs for the first time is sentencing to 2-year bans.
But the British Olympic Association confirms that such punishment is not good enough. The BOA sentences steroid users for life-time bans from taking part in the Olympic Games. The WADA notes that this rule of the BOA contradicts the WADA Code that is unvarying.
Lord Moynihan, the chairman of the BOA, hasn’t agreed to change the law. As a result, a hearing has been scheduled to be at a Court of Arbitration for Sports in London.
The athletes that had administered prohibited substances were banned by the International Olympic Committee from participations in Olympics under the Osaka Rule.
Lord Moynihan proclaimed that the rule of the BOA linked with life-time suspensions wouldn’t be cancel, if even the CAS would be in contradiction with it. The BOA confirms that it has the best laws.
Moynihan supported statements written by the former British Olympic decathlete Daley Thompson who claimed that British laws connected with usage of banned medicines were superior. He noticed that they shouldn’t be overthrown by the rest part of the world.
Delay Thompson notices that cheaters have to be punished harshly. They should be banned for the whole life. According to his affirmations, the BOA shouldn’t agree with the rule of the WADA to sentence cheaters just for 2-year bans. He notices that the Britain desires to have the highest sport standards. He notes that if the rest part of the world doesn’t want to have high standards, it doesn’t mean that Britain has to follow their reduced levels.
David Howman, the director general of the WADA, criticizes words proclaimed 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 submit to the laws of the WADA. It seems to be strange that Travis Tygart that usually blames cheaters criticizes the BOA for the strict rule.
The CEO of the US Anti-Doping Agency states that since international rules have been once established and all have agreed to them, anyone must follow them.
The British athletes Dwain Chambers and David Millar who have been earlier suspended for usage of controlled substances wait for the conclusions related to this issue. They want to know whether they will be allowed to participate in the 2012 London Olympics.
