Did Garrett Reid supply Philadelphia Eagles with steroids?

Garrett Reid, a son of the coach Andy Reid, was found unconscious at his dormitory room. However Omar Elkhamra, the team physician of the Philadelphia Eagles, put efforts to revive him, the efforts of the physician 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 troubles for the Philadelphia Eagles. The football players had to clear themselves from suspicions linked with steroid use. Some anabolic steroids were found by local police officers in the dormitory of Garret Reid. Moreover, syringes and needles were found in his possession too. The steroids were named by police. It was revealed that Garrett Reid possessed Nandrolone Phenylpropionate, Boldenone Undecylenate, Testosterone Propionate and Trenbolone Acetate. Since these medicines were found at Garrett Reid’s dormitory room, some suspicions appeared. It was noticed that the coach’s son probably provided these prohibited medications to members of the Philadelphia Eagles. Thus, the death of Garrett Reid turned out to be a trouble for the total sport organization.
Some of steroids found at Garrett Reid’ room are fast-acting. These drugs are usually liked by sportspersons that submit to drug testing. Since they are eliminated from the body in short period of time after application, it is more difficult to catch those who have applied these drugs. Thus, it is suspected that such drugs must have been taken by players of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Although suspicions are pronounced, it has not been proven that Philadelphia Eagles dope. It was not revealed 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 anabolic steroids found in Garrett Reid’s room were linked to Philadelphia Eagles.

Steroid use by college football players

A few college athletes are caught using prohibited drugs. Does it mean that they don’t use doping products? Less than 1% of college football players have been caught violating anti-doping rules. They have tested positive for anabolic steroids and/or other performance-enhancing drugs. Such situation must assure anti-doping agencies that they win in the war on doping. But several suspicions appear. It is believed that many college football players administer steroids and/or other related medications but they avoid detection successfully.
Why do such suspicions appear? Changes in appearance of college football players lead to controversial affirmations. Thus, changes in body mass of over 61,000 college football players were recently analyzed by the Associated Press. Results manifested that numerous college football players increased their body mass in short period of time essentially. Over 20 pounds were gained by over 4,500 college football players during a year. Furthermore, near 100 individuals increased the body mass by more than 80 pounds during a year. As you see, the gains were obvious.
Some experts assure that these aspects should not trouble anti-doping agencies. They affirm that anti-doping officers shouldn’t subject college football players to drug tests only because they have enhanced body mass obviously.
But other specialists have another opinion. Although they agree that it is impossible to affirm that certain football players have applied steroids and/or other related drugs, basing just on changes in body mass, they note that the changes may be a factor that causes suspicions connected with application of steroids. Thus, such persons that have enhanced body weight in short time should be subjected to steroid testing.
Some college football players that increased body mass evidentially in short period of time were asked about their changes. The athletes affirmed that they had never applied any forbidden medicines. 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 significant results were achieved by them because of suitable diets. According to them, it was not difficult to get many pounds in short period of time.

How can you treat hair loss while taking steroids?

Anabolic steroids are widely taken in medicine and in bodybuilding and sports. Numerous persons administer these medicines for improvement of their health. These preparations are indicated to treat several diseases. Furthermore, numerous sportspersons and bodybuilders use anabolic steroids in order to increase muscle mass, add strength, regenerate exercise-damaged muscle tissues, etc. But several persons are not ready to assume several risks linked with these drugs. It is known that steroids may lead to some undesirable results. One of side effects of these medications is hair loss. Thus, some persons try to avoid administration of anabolic steroids because they don’t want to suffer from this side effect. Furthermore, certain individuals have genetic predisposition to this problem. If they administer certain steroids, they may get baldness.
Luckily, certain negative reactions of anabolic steroids may be prevented or at least reduced and treated. As for hair loss, there are several medicines that can help to prevent this problem. There are also such drugs that can promote re-growth of hair. Those that have to use anabolic steroids may apply some remedies to prevent hair loss or cause re-growth of hair. Which products are useful for this purpose?
Since hair loss occurs because of high levels of dihydrotestosterone, several persons administer Propecia which blocks dihydrotestosterone and prevents hair loss. But this is not the best remedy for prevention of hair loss while taking steroids. Blocking of dihydrotestosterone by this medicine may lead to sexual problems.
Rogaine, Retin-A and Lattisse may be useful. Rogaine has got FDA’s approval for treatment of hair loss. Rogaine may be stacked with Retin-A or Latisse. Rogaine and Latisse have capacity to prevent hair loss that may occur because of steroids. As for Latisse, it is approved by the FDA for eyelash growth. But it is not approved by the FDA to be applied in case of hair loss. Nevertheless, it is affirmed by some experts that this medicine may be used for re-growth of hair successfully.

What is it important to know about kidney problems which occur in healthy steroid users?

Anabolic steroids are often blamed for various diseases of users. Of course, these medicines may lead to several unwanted reactions. Nevertheless, steroids are often blamed without any reason. It is reported frequently by the media that these medications cause various health problems, crimes, deaths. But it is important to understand nature of these drugs and see when these preparations should not be demonized.
Let analyze 2 cases. One of the cases is related to the former American bodybuilder Flex Wheeler. Another case is related to another former bodybuilder Luke Wood.
The former American bodybuilder Flex Wheeler experienced kidney dysfunctions. He submitted to a kidney transplant. Since he administered anabolic steroids, the media decided to blame these medications for kidney disorders of Flex Wheeler. Actually, Flex Wheeler had a hereditary kidney disease. Undoubtedly, administration of anabolic steroids contributed to the complications. But did the bodybuilder administer steroids appropriately? Did he follow reasonable guidelines connected with dosages and length of usage? No, he didn’t. Flex Wheeler used very high dosages of anabolic steroids. Moreover, he applied these medications prolonged period of time. In addition to these conditions, the former American bodybuilder administered also other preparations which had negative influence on his kidneys. So, anabolic steroids should not be demonized for Flex Wheeler’s health problems.
As it has been already mentioned, another case is related to the former bodybuilder Luke Wood. He died after a kidney transplant, being a young person. The media also chose to demonize anabolic steroids in this case. It was stated that anabolic steroids caused kidney dysfunctions in Luke Wood. But you should be informed that Luke Wood used not only steroids. He administered also insulin, pain drugs, DNP and other medications that influenced on the kidneys negatively. So, it is impossible to affirm that anabolic steroids were responsible for his kidney failure and death.
According to numerous experts, if anabolic steroids are taken properly, serious kidney disorders don’t occur.

Mark McGwire doesn’t intend to fight to be in Hall of Fame

The American baseball player and coach Mark McGwire acknowledged that he had applied anabolic steroids and HGH.
There are different opinions that are linked with the baseball player’s admission. According to numerous persons, Mark McGwire admitted to using prohibited substances because he wanted to come back to professional baseball.
Being interviewed, Mark McGwire stated recently that he made a mistake when he decided to administer steroids. But he noticed that he had used anabolic steroids not for enhancement of performance. Mark McGwire claimed that he had used steroids and HGH just for medical purposes.
It is interesting to notice that when Mark McGwire admitted to using forbidden remedies, his fans and other individuals were not surprised at all. Why were not they surprised? They were aware of it. Certain persons disclosed that Mark McGwire used steroids before he admitted. A FBI informant affirmed that the American baseball player had purchased Testosterone Cypionate, Testosterone Enanthate, Equipose and Winstrol from the steroid dealer Curtis Wenzlaff and used these medicines.
Another individual that reported about usage of steroids by Mark McGwire was the “godfather of steroids” Jose Canseco. He said that he injected Mark McGwire with steroids. But Jose Canseco was not the first person who helped Mark McGwire to administer anabolic steroids. Jay, Mark’s brother, was the first individual that injected the baseball player with anabolic steroids.
However Mark McGwire revealed that he had administered anabolic steroids, he said nothing about statements pronounced by his brother, Jose Canseco and the FBI informant. He didn’t disclose whether these affirmations were true or not.
Mark McGwire notices that he knows that he will never enter the Baseball Hall of Fame. Moreover, the admitted steroid user affirms that he will never fight to be voted for the Hall of Fame. Mark McGwire has respect to all rules related to baseball. He realizes that those that have ever administered banned medicines must not enter the Hall of Fame.

Which steroids may cause fungal meningitis?

Over 500 individuals were contaminated with fungal meningitis after they had introduced Methylprednisolone injections produced by the New England Compounding Center (NECC). Over 30 individuals died from this disease. No one must have doubted that the contamination turned out to be a great tragedy for several persons and their families. Nevertheless, anti-doping organizations put efforts to benefit from the case. What did they do? They started blaming anabolic steroids. It was claimed by the media that anabolic steroids could cause the fatal illness fungal meningitis.
Recently the Bay County Sheriff’s Office conducted an investigation connected with illegal manufacture of anabolic steroids. It found out that anabolic steroids were produced by certain underground lab in unsterile conditions. The Bay County Sheriff’s Office reported that they conducted the investigation for prevention of contamination with fungal meningitis in future. According to the Bay County Sheriff’s Office, if someone administers anabolic steroids produced in unsterile conditions, he/she may be contaminated with fungal meningitis.
In fact, the Bay County Sheriff’s Office demonstrated own ignorance related to anabolic steroids and risks related to contamination with fungal meningitis. One may get fungal meningitis, if he/she takes products that are injected directly into the central nervous system. Methylprednisolone Acetate injections are administered into the central nervous system. That’s why these contaminated corticosteroids caused the fungal meningitis outbreak. When it comes to anabolic steroids, they are not injected into the central nervous system. They are mainly administered into muscles. That’s why it is impossible to be contaminated with fungal meningitis while taking anabolic steroids. If you apply anabolic steroids which are manufactured in unsterile conditions, you may face several side effects. But you will never face fungal meningitis while applying anabolic steroids for clinical or even for athletic purposes.  
So, the fungal meningitis outbreak resulted from usage of contaminated Methylprednisolone Acetate injections was just a condition to demonize anabolic steroids.  Note, please: Methylprednisolone Acetate is not an anabolic steroid. It is a corticosteroid.

Tammy Thomas promotes living under rules of God

Tammy Thomas, a former American cyclist, administered the designer steroid THG. As a result, she was banned from sports forever.
Tammy Thomas wanted to participate in the 2004 Olympics. That’s why she decided to apply anabolic steroids to promote her performance and make her dreams linked with the Olympics real. But since she was caught using prohibited drugs, she was not permitted to compete at the Olympic Games.
Tammy Thomas was charged with lying to the Grand Jury. She was targeted during the BALCO investigation. It was determined that the cyclist didn’t say truth about application of steroids and purchase of THG. While she was charged with lying to the Grand Jury, she provided some arguments in order to defend herself against the accusations.
The cyclist claimed that she hadn’t administered any prohibited substance. In fact, she said truth. At that time THG was not enumerated on the list of banned preparations. It was claimed to be just an unapproved new preparation. THG was elaborated by the chemist Patrick Arnold.
While the BALCO foundation sold THG to numerous sportspersons, it was claimed that Tammy Thomas obtained this medication from Patrick Arnold. But the American cyclist denied this statement. Ultimately, she affirmed that Patrick Arnold’s former girlfriend supplied her with THG.
The arguments of Tammy Thomas were not accepted. She was sentenced to a home detection of 6 months and probation of 5 years.
The former cyclist repented totally. She acknowledged that she acted wrongly. Thus, she decided to change her life. Being a religious person, Tammy Thomas believes that God has a plan related to her life. She noted that she would do everything in order to live so, as God desires. She founded a fitness center and decided to help others to maintain their health.

Mariusz Wach didn’t dope intentionally

It was affirmed by the German newspaper Bild that Mariusz Wach, a polish boxer, violated anti-doping rules. This sportsperson 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 took anabolic steroids. Results of his B-sample are not known yet.
It is interesting to mention that the German newspaper Bild reported about the steroid positive of Mariusz Wach before it was done by the German Boxing Federation.  Mariusz Kolodziej, the promoter of the boxer Wach claims that it manifests that the German Boxing Federation doesn’t do its job appropriately. It lacks professionalism wholly.
What did Mariusz Wach state in order to defend himself? In fact, Mariusz Wach didn’t try to defend himself. The sportsman just said that he had never applied any anabolic steroids or other banned medicines knowingly. The boxer even affirmed that he didn’t know what he really applied. He cared just about trainings and appropriate diets. When it comes to dietary supplements, they were chosen and provided by his trainers. The polish boxer trusted his trainers entirely. The boxer didn’t even ask which supplements were taken by him. Mariusz Wach decided to put the whole responsibility connected with supplements on his trainers and he was not interested in the nature of products that were given by his trainers.
Mariusz Wach didn’t intend to accuse his trainers of his steroid positive. The polish boxer only revealed the reality.
So, it is possible to suggest that Mariusz Wach has used a tainted dietary supplement. As you probably know, it happens often that sportspeople use dietary supplements which turn out to contain steroidal compounds. So, problems begin.
If Mariusz Wach’s B-sample displays that the boxer has administered prohibited substances, he will be probably suspended for one year. He will also have to pay a fine.

Teenagers may begin to use steroids at age of 18

You may come across numerous articles about dangers related to application of steroids by 18-year old boys. It is frequently claimed that those that are under 21 years old must not apply steroids for athletic goals. Steroid use by 18-year old guys is claimed to be too dangerous for their health. But you should comprehend that there are also opposite conceptions. Some experts say that 18-year old guys may use steroids without any fear to experience severe unwanted results. Teenagers are encouraged by such affirmations. They believe that if they use anabolic steroids since the age of 18, they are likely to reach great results in professional sports. Is it true? Although it is allowed for boys since the age of 18 years old to administer anabolic steroids, it is better for them to avoid taking these drugs. Why? There are certain reasons that are listed below:

1. Adolescents don’t become professional athletes with the help of steroid use.
Teenagers are informed that a lot of professional sportsmen use anabolic steroids. Teenagers see that these persons have success. Thus, they suggest that athletes become successful with the help of steroid use. But this is a wrong conclusion. Anabolic steroids are not mysterious preparations which can make any individual a professional athlete.

2. Teenagers don’t possess sufficient knowledge about steroids.
Since adolescents don’t have knowledge about steroids, they administer these medicines wrongly. As a result, they don’t acquire needed benefits; on the contrary, they may experience severe side reactions.

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

USADA puts efforts to clean cycling

The USADA desires to define whether you have ever administered anabolic steroids, EPO, HGH and/or other banned medications. This fact may surprise you but the anti-doping organization doesn’t plan yet to stop the investigation connected with Lance Armstrong’s doping case. Thus, the investigation has not been ended. The USADA desires to investigate each cyclist. Especially suspected steroid users will be investigated.
The USADA wants to apply the best ways in order to catch those that have ever taken forbidden products. What is the best way to clean cycling of steroid use? The USADA puts efforts in order to set and use the best methods. This anti-doping organization is even ready to compare elimination of doping in cycling with that in South Africa.
The USADA affirms that those that use anabolic steroids and other related preparations should be punished. Users of anabolic steroids and/or other performance-enhancing drugs are blamed as if they were criminals. They are often compared with those who commit violence and other serious crimes. Steroids are harshly demonized in the society. Thus, the USADA supposes that if steroids and steroid users are demonized, it will be easier to elude doping.
Actually, the USADA asks the International Cycling Association to set up a Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The commission will investigate various cases related to doping. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission will try to fix why several cyclists have applied steroids and/or other doping products but avoided detection.
Furthermore, the USADA promises that “amnesty” will be provided to those that admit to applying anabolic steroids and/or other prohibited substances, ask for forgiveness, repent and tell everything connected with doping to the anti-doping agency, team physicians, teammates, friends, etc. If a former consumer of steroids says only truth, he will get the full amnesty. So, the USADA hopes to clean cycling totally.
Travis Tygart, the CEO of the USADA, notes that there are certain cyclists related to Lance Armstrong that have avoided detection. They should be identified by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

What do football players say while they test positive for steroids?

The National Football League is not allowed to reveal details, when players fail drug tests. It is only reported that certain persons have tested positive for prohibited preparations. But the League must not report which substances have been used by these sportspersons. Thus, some football players lie about medicines that have resulted in positives.
Why do some football players choose to lie about substances that have been administered by them? Let explain.
Numerous football players that fail drug tests say that they have used Adderall. In fact, they have used anabolic steroids. Why do they affirm that they have tested positive for Adderall? What is Adderall? This is a preparation which is indicated to treat attention-deficit disorder. But this drug is taken not only for this medical need. Sportspersons and bodybuilders use this medication for performance-enhancing effects.
When it comes to steroids, they are widely blamed. Numerous journalists, scientists, anti-doping officials and ordinary people say that these medicines are too dangerous. They may lead to various severe unwanted consequences. Anabolic steroids are blamed even for some crimes. But as for Adderall, this medication is not blamed in the society. So, numerous football players try to avoid criticism. They don’t desire to be demonized for administration of such forbidden medicines, as steroids. Since consumers of Adderall are not criticized harshly, football players say that they have failed drug tests because they have taken 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 demonized than the last one.
You should not think that every football player who says that he has tested positive for Adderall has really applied steroids. But it is possible to conclude that those that administer Adderall are less demonized than those who take steroids.

Best method to eradicate administration of steroids from boxing

Freddie Roach is a famous American trainer in boxing. He coaches the celebrated boxer Manny Pacquiao. He notes that he knows the best way to eliminate the problem of doping in boxing. According to this trainer, strength and conditioning coaches should be blamed for application of anabolic steroids and other related substances in this sport. He thinks that they educate boxers to administer performance-enhancing drugs. So, the trainer Freddie Roach notes that it is needed to get rid of each strength and conditioning coach. It will lead to eradication of steroid use from boxing.
What does the trainer Freddie Roach think about essential changes that have occurred in physique and performance of Juan Manuel Marquez. Actually, there are different points of view about this person and dramatic changes in him. A lot of individuals believe that he has administered steroids which have caused these changes in him. As for Freddie Roach, he suggests that Angel Guillermo Memo Heredia has provided anabolic steroids to Juan Manuel Marquez.
The coach Memo Heredia is an admitted distributor of steroids. He acknowledged that he had provided steroids to numerous top athletes. Since he collaborated with federal prosecutors and revealed names of some athletes who took steroids, he was not charged with any crimes connected with distribution of anabolic steroids.
Thus, the trainer Freddie Roach thinks that strength and conditioning coaches like Memo Heredia should be pushed from boxing. It is the best way to eliminate intake of anabolic steroids and other related drugs from boxing.
It is interesting to note that Manny Pacquiao, Freddie Roach’s client, has a strength coach too. Does it mean that this famous boxer takes anabolic steroids and/or other related remedies? Freddie Roach claims that the strength coach Alex Arizo doesn’t provide steroids to Manny Pacquiao.
Alex Arizo and Memo Heredia are friends. Thus, Alex Arizo puts efforts to defend his friend, affirming that Freddie Roach’s accusations are incorrect. Actually, the trainer Freddie Roach notes that he doesn’t like to pronounce any accusations connected with intake of anabolic steroids and other related medicines. But he has to do it because this is the nature of boxing.
While Alex Arizo affirms that Memo Heredia doesn’t provide steroids to Marquez, Freddie Roach has own point of view. He continues to believe that Marquez is tainted. According to Freddie Roach, dramatic physical transformations of this athlete display that he administers steroids and/or other doping products.

How has Moustafa Ismail increased his arms?

Moustafa Ismail, an Egyptian bodybuilder, has the largest arms in the world. He was recorded in the Guinness book of the world records. This person claims that his large biceps are natural. The bodybuilder says that he has the largest biceps in the world because he has very strict nutrition and workouts. He eats chickens, almonds and fish each day. The Egyptian bodybuilder also consumes much water and protein shakes.
However it is obvious that nutrition and trainings play great role, many people doubt about natural arms of Moustafa Ismail. It is difficult to believe that suitable workouts and diets can lead to such increase in arms. Which conditions are responsible for the large arms of the Egyptian bodybuilder?
When it was announced that Moustafa Ismail’s arms were 32 inches, accusations related to administration of steroids appeared soon. Several individuals suggest that steroids are responsible for the large arms of this person. What did the Egyptian bodybuilder claim about application administration of steroids? He affirmed that he had used steroids while living in Egypt. Purchase and application of these preparations are legal under laws of this country. These preparations are sold at any drug store in Egypt. Moreover, steroids are cheap there. But Moustafa Ismail noted that he had to stop administering these preparations, when he moved to the USA. It is know that purchase and administration of these drugs without a prescription are claimed to be criminal under laws of the US. These preparations are bought on the black market by those that apply them in the US illegally. Thus, Moustafa Ismail stopped taking these medications after he moved to the USA.
But if even the Egyptian bodybuilder uses anabolic steroids, it doesn’t matter because these products don’t enhance arms. They are not responsible for Moustafa Ismail’s large arms.
There are other remedies which can enhance arms. They are named “site enhancement oils” (SEO). Synthol is one of the most frequently used SEO. This preparation is applied by bodybuilders. It is administered in order to enhance muscles in circumference. Thus, it is supposed that the Egyptian bodybuilder takes Synthol. However, the Egyptian bodybuilder affirms that he doesn’t use this product.
The Egyptian bodybuilder affirms that he is hurt by accusations linked with anabolic steroids and Synthol. He has submitted to examination conducted by an independent doctor that hasn’t found  any abnormality in the arms of this guy. Thus, it is unclear whether the bodybuilder’s arms are natural or not.

Who promoted using banned preparations in pro cycling?

However you probably don’t know anything about Scott Mercier, his statements linked with usage of performance-enhancing drugs in professional cyclist spread very quickly. This sportsman belonged to the US Postal Cycling team before Lance Armstrong’s arrival. Some affirmations of Scott Mercier discovered the truth which was hidden in cycling.
In fact, the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) made wrong conclusions linked with role of Lance Armstrong in doping. The celebrated American cyclist was accused and found guilty of intake of forbidden substances throughout his cycling career. While it may be true, the USADA affirmed that Lance Armstrong promoted doping in professional cycling. But these statements turned out to be wrong. Why? Which words were said by Scott Mercier?
Scott Mercier claimed that their team doctor Pedro Celaya offered a specific program for the US Postal Cycling team. The doctor discussed about the program with each cyclist. Pedro Celaya said that they had to ride 200-250 km each day. Furthermore, the doctor organized doping program which had to accompany workouts. So, he supplied US Postal Cycling team’s athletes with steroids, EPO and some other medications.
These guidelines 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 this person would not be able to ride professionally. His cancer spread throughout his body, including brain. After this man experienced chemotherapy he got recovery. Thus, Lance Armstrong didn’t have any link to the team. He didn’t promote doping in professional cycling. It became obvious that doping was established by Pedro Celaya before Lance Armstrong’s arrival.
During 1990s professional riders took Andriol. Then they applied testosterone patches. Under recommendations of Pedro Celaya riders utilized the method of overdosing in order to avoid detection by anti-doping agencies.

Toronto Blue Jays offered $16 million contract to Melky Cabrera

Administration of anabolic steroids and several other products is prohibited in many sports organizations, including the Major League Baseball (MLB). Athletes who are caught using forbidden substances are sentenced to bans, fines, etc. However sportspersons know about these conditions, many of them continue using anabolic steroids and/or other forbidden drugs. As a result, certain sportspersons spoil their athletic reputation completely. Nonetheless, some athletes succeed, if even they are caught by anti-doping officers.
Let take the Dominican baseball player Melky Cabrera as an example. This athlete played baseball for San Francisco Giants. Melky Cabrera was considered to be one of the best baseball players. It was believed that he induced winning essentially. But after he tested positive for a steroid, he was sentenced to a 50-game suspension.
Melky Cabrera put efforts to change the decision and appealed it. He claimed that a dietary supplement was responsible for his positive. Some persons desired to help him in that situation. Thus, a fake website was formed. An advertisement for non-existing supplement was posted. But the trick was unmasked. The baseball player had to serve the suspension.
While he was banned, the San Francisco Giants realized 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, usage of steroids couldn’t destroy the athletic career of the Dominican baseball player. He continues to play baseball professionally and get essential sums of money.
This is just an example that manifests that application of forbidden drugs doesn’t affect athletic careers in several cases.

Spawn sold by Myogenix was composed of two steroids

Dietary supplements companies often market synthetic steroids as dietary supplements. So, they sell these illicit substances. They trick the Drug Enforcement Administration and clients who get such preparations. As a result, some sportspersons test positive for prohibited substances while they are sure that they have never administered any steroid or another forbidden preparation. Dietary supplements companies must be punished for such situations.
For example, Myogenix is a dietary supplement company which is in California. This company acknowledged that they sold a synthetic steroid that was labeled as a dietary supplement. It was called Spawn. It was made of the following compounds: 19-Norandrosta-4,9 diene-3,17 dione and 2a,3a-epithio-17a-methyletioallocholanol. So, the supplement Spawn contained two steroids but it was marketed as a nutrition supplement.
The company Myogenix acknowledged that they had sold Spawn between 2007 and 2009. Myogenix was sentenced to pay a $500.000 fine. Moreover, the company forfeited $100.000 immediately.
According to the decision of the court, preparations produced and sold by the company Myogenix will be tested for 5 years by an independent organization. All new nutrition supplements should be controlled scrupulously and approved by the FDA before Myogenix may sell them.
In fact, Myogenix should be thankful to the lawyer Rick Collins who has defended the company. He defended the owners and other stuff of the company successfully. No one was sentenced to jail. This lawyer was hired to defend also other companies that were linked to the website Bodybuilding.com. These companies also were sentenced only to fines and money forfeitures.
