Jordan Matechuk keeps some special circumstances linked with steroid use confidential

Jordan Matechuk, a player of the Canadian Football League, was busted by the US Customs and Border Patrol (CBP). He was caught possessing more than 540 pills of oral steroids and more than 260 ml of injectable steroids, when he was driving to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats training camp. Matechuck confirmed that his depression was responsible for the decision to get and use anabolic steroids.
The football player noticed that he used anabolic steroids and marijuana in order to be able to escape from his depression. He noted that earlier he had administered anti-depressants. Stopping applying anti-depressant medications probably led to administration of steroids.
Matechuk claimed that he suffered from depression. He began to apply steroids and marijuana in order to feel better. Jordan Matechuk admitted that he was responsible for this condition. He wouldn’t have discontinued utilizing anti-depressants. But he discontinued using them. This condition resulted in steroid use.
Jordan Matechuk pleaded guilty to possession of steroids and marijuana.
Although he faced up to 2-year imprisonment, he was sentenced to 90 years in prison. But he was released after he served just 60 days.
Jordan Matechuk stated that there were some other conditions but he decided to keep them out of public knowledge.
The Canadian Football League gave him another chance to play professional football.
He wrote a letter and sent it to each member of the team. Matechuk noted about his shame for the arrest resulted from possession and usage of steroids. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats didn’t desire to receive the steroid user back to the team.
But the Winnipeg Blue Bombers decided to provide him the second chance. So, Matechuk was happily accepted by this team.

Australian bodybuilder imported large quantities of steroids that could be sufficient for usage during over 60 years by a person

Brenton Dowell, an Australian bodybuilder, was caught possessing and importing large quantities of anabolic steroids in March 2011. It was determined that these steroids could be sufficient to be utilized for more than sixty years by one user. Numerous people believed that this bodybuilder would be sentenced to imprisonment. But Brenton Dowell escaped from imprisonment successfully.
The Australian Customs and Border Protection Service noted that Brenton Dowell had tried to import more than 3 kg of testosterone powder. The packages with the raw steroid powder were mailed in September, October and November 2011. They were directed to three different places: to the home of Dowell, to his father and his stepfather.
In fact, such large quantities of raw powder could be ordered just for manufacture of anabolic steroids by underground labs in order to sell them on the black market. 3 kg of raw steroid powder could be used for getting of 1500 10-ml vials with ready medications.
Len Hartnett, the defense attorney for Brenton Dowell, affirmed that the testosterone powder had been bought for his client’s personal intake. He added that Dowell’s administration of steroids was caused by bullying attacks that he received, when he was an overweight child. Thus, according to Len Harnett, Brenton Dowell became addicted to bodybuilding and began to take steroids because he was an overweight child.
The judge Graeme Hicks was impressed by affirmations of the defense attorney who presented experiences of Dowell in his childhood. He noticed that it could be concluded that Dowell had become obsessed by bodybuilding.
Thus, the judge believed the arguments of Len Harnett. Based on the descriptions and arguments of the defense attorney, the judge Graeme Hicks believed that the bodybuilder Brenton Dowell had bought steroids personal usage 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.

Pathologist: steroids caused death of a teenage

The pathologist Georgina Howarth concluded that the death of Mohammed Belkhair, a 19-year teenager, had been caused by usage of anabolic steroids. She noticed that anabolic steroids had led to heart failure that had resulted in the death.
According to the pathologist Howarth, if this guy had not utilized steroids, he would have been alive today. She affirmed that application of steroids was the only cause of the death. The pathologist noted that the death of this teenager was a lesson for each person to be far from such drugs.
Mohammed Belkhair’s sister found him vomiting in his room on May, 2011. The boy admitted that he had administered steroids. The death occurred at the same day. It was reported that steroids had been found in his system.
According to certain articles, DHEA and Tamoxifen were two 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 drug has been originally introduced in order to treat individuals who suffer from breast cancer. It has become widespread among sportspersons and bodybuilders that use steroids due to its ability to prevent aromatization of other preparations.
It seems to be curiously but nothing was noted about arrest of Mohammed Belkhair. This condition might contribute in his death. This guy was arrested on the night before his death by police officials. 4 types of anabolic steroids were found in his room. But the names of the steroids were not identified.
However the police encounter and arrest occurred certain hours before the death of Mohammed Belkhair, the doctor Georgina Howarth didn’t investigate these factors. Furthermore, she didn’t provide any explanation about this aspect. Police officers reported nothing as well.
Since it was noticed that Mohammed Belkhair had purchased steroids online, the news connected with risks of purchasing steroids per 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 criminal in Britain. The British government desires to make personal importation of steroids per mail and per internet illegal. It will be in near future. Although it is believed that these laws will be enacted before the Olympics, they are not still enacted.

The government of the UK refuses to change laws connected with personal usage of steroids

Officers of the UK will be not capable to stop sportspeople importing steroids to the UK, when they come to take part in the 2012 Summer Olympics. However intake of steroids is banned in sports, self-administration of these medications is not criminal in the UK. Just distribution 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 permitted to do it.
Before Olympic Games took place in Australia, Canada and China, governments of these countries changed laws connected with import and usage of steroids at least temporally. But the British government doesn’t agree to change steroid legislation for the 2012 Olympic Games.
Ironically, while the British government refuses to make self-administration of steroids illegal, Britain sportspeople are banned for lifetime, if they apply anabolic steroids. When it comes to the WADA Code, sportspersons that use forbidden medicines are banned for two years.
The Olympic minister Hugh Robertson notices that it is needed to have a universal law related to sentencing. He insists on at least 4 years or even longer.  Although this minister is supported by the British Olympic Association, the UK Anti-Doping Agency doesn’t agree with such harsh sanction. The CEO of the UK Anti-Doping Agency Andi Parkinson confirms that certain sanctions should be softened.
Hugh Robertson acknowledges that there are different points of view in sports and it’s not well but he doesn’t ask Andy Parkinson to resign.
The spokesperson for the minister has claimed that any sportsperson can have steroids in his/her luggage, when he/she arrives to London. But the amount of steroids must display that he/she has them only for personal usage. The spokesperson has added that it is not criminal for a sportsperson to use steroids under laws of the UK but if any sportsperson is caught using forbidden medicines, he/she will be punished under anti-doping laws.
The UKAD claimed that they would collaborate with border control officers. Information about sportspersons will be utilized by anti-doping agencies.
5, 000 drug test, including 1, 000 blood tests will be conducted by the International Olympic Committee.

Steroids are responsible for heart problems

Prolonged usage of anabolic steroids can lead to different heart troubles. It enhances risks connected with heart failure. These statements have been made due to a research which has been presented in Circulation: Heart Failure, an American Heart Association journal.
Anabolic-androgenic steroids work like testosterone that occurs naturally and that is responsible for development of male sex characteristics.
The leader of the research Aaron L. Baggish confirms that in addition to the fact that anabolic steroids are illicit, they are associated with negative consequences for health. He notices that it is the first time, when negative influence of prolonged application of steroids on heart is clearly recognized.
The research manifested that the left ventricle in consumers of steroids was significantly weaker during contraction than in those who didn’t administer steroids.
A left ventricle that works properly pumps out 55-70 % of the blood that fills the heart.
 12 steroid users were implicated in the research. It was manifested that the left ventricles of 83 % these steroid users worked improperly: they pumped out less than 55 % of the blood.   Among the examined non-users only one person had troubles linked with the function of the left ventricle.
The research 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-steroid users. The structure of the left ventricle was similar in both groups: users of steroids and non-users.
It was used the test “Doppler echocardiography” for evaluation of function and structure of the left ventricle. This test uses ultrasound for creation of moving pictures of the heart and its blood flow.
 The group of steroid users included 12 weightlifters at the age of about 40 that claimed that they applied about 675 mg of steroids per week for 9 years. Another group included weightlifters who didn’t use steroids. Both groups had the same physical activity and similar risks connected with heart problems. But they had differences in body mass and muscle size. The consumers of steroids had more muscular physiques.
However small number of steroid users has been evaluated, the results have displayed that there is a strong link between intake of steroids and heart impairment.
The specialists decided to conduct further researches in order to support the findings.
Baggish and his colleagues hope that people will comprehend that application of steroids can results in heart problems and different unexplained heart disorders in young people.

The most of bodybuilders never reach great levels

Bodybuilding doesn’t belong to glamorous sports. Any bodybuilder can support this statement. Those that are involved in bodybuilding spend much time at gyms, training; they prepare proper meal and make uninterrupted researches. What is this work done for? – Only for 30 seconds on stage. Of course, if bodybuilders reach high results, they receive awards, praise, and admiration of others. Their photos are posted on covers of fit magazines. They become well-known.
Unluckily, the most of bodybuilders never achieve this level because it is required a lot of work and money for this purpose. But any bodybuilder hopes to achieve this level: to be a top bodybuilder, to obtain money and other prizes. If you have any interest to find out what is required for success in bodybuilding, you can look at Jay Cutler and several other individuals. You can also learn role of steroids for success in bodybuilding.
Jay Cutler is one of the most prominent bodybuilders in history. Moreover, he has obtained Mr. Olympia titles 4 times. This bodybuilder spends much time for sports. He confirms that he doesn’t make plans. He eats around the clock. Jay Cutler consumes 4, 000 – 7, 000 calories daily. Chicken breasts are at the center of his many meals.
It is interesting to note that Jay Cutler spends more time for consumption of meals than for trainings. He lifts for about 2 hours and gets cardio an hour per day. Cutler states that his day differs significantly from thoughts of people about it. People that are not involved in bodybuilding suppose that bodybuilders train 8 hours daily. They believe that if they apply steroids, they will look like professional bodybuilders.
Jay Cutler confirms that steroids are not everything in bodybuilding but they play a significant role in it. He claims that if anybody wants to reach great success in sports, he/she has to administer steroids. Ron Stevens, who is in the sport 15 years, supports the statement of Jay Cutler about steroids. He adds that it is not possible to compete without administration of these preparations. After several shows Ron Stevens decided to administer steroids.
Stevens is also a dedicated bodybuilder like Jay Cutler. He eats much food which could be sufficient 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.
Actually, the most of dedicated bodybuilders have regular jobs and dream that they will reach evident success one day.
As for Jay Cutler, he had two jobs. He worked and spent every dollar he got for bodybuilding. Finally, he achieved great success. His each effort was paid off.
Thinking over Jay Cutler, any bodybuilder may be encouraged to hope that he will succeed significantly one day. Unknown bodybuilders may dream at least.

Dana White finds it impossible to test 375 UFC athletes randomly

The UFC President Dana White tries to defend UFC efforts against intake of performance-enhancing drugs.  Dana White notes that the UFC fights seriously to push banned medicines out of sports. He confirms that they do more than any other sport organization for this need.
Unluckily, affirmations of the UFC President are pronounced only for public relations purposes. They are completely false. The UFC doesn’t do more than any other sport organization, fighting against administration of prohibited medicines.
Dana White suggests that it is not possible to perform random drug testing in the UFC. He notes 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. The UFC President finds it unreal to travel in various countries, looking for these 375 individuals, in order to test them continually.
While The UFC President claims that it is impossible to test randomly 375 UFC athletes, other sport organizations do it with their athletes. They perform random testing successfully.
It is not completely clear what happens actually. Does Dana White desire to mislead media about usage of forbidden preparations by the UFC fighters? Or is he ignorant totally, when it comes to the rules of the World Anti-Doping Agency?
The CEO of the US Anti-Doping Agency suggests that the UFC does everything in order to avoid agreement with the rules of the WADA. They have own laws and fight against the WADA Code. Although the UFC confirms that they try to protect their sports from administration of doping products by the WADA Code, the reality displays that it is not true. The UFC laws are miserable in comparison with those of the WADA. Try to comprehend it!

Roger Clemens’ defense at the Show 60 Minutes was not perceptive

Mike Wallace, a celebrated investigative journalist, who was one of the original correspondents of CBS’ 60 Minutes died, when he was 93 years old. This journalist made capturing interviews with world prominent persons. The latest stories were about the former professional baseball player Roger Clemens and accusations related to usage of anabolic steroids and HGH by this sportsperson. Mike Wallace’s last appearance on TV was connected with this case.
The interview with Roger Clemens about steroids was broadcast in January, 2008. Rusty Hardin, the defense attorney for Roger Clemens, arranged the appearing of this baseball star in the program 60 Minutes. Roger Clemens had to defense himself against accusations of his former personal coach Brian McNamee. This trainer accused Roger Clemens in intake of anabolic steroids and HGH. He cooperated with investigators of Mitchell Report, when they tried to find out the widespread of steroid use in the Major League Baseball.
Wallace didn’t enforce Clemens to tell that he used steroids. He just encouraged him to prove to others that he had applied neither steroids, nor HGH. Clemens claimed that he would be able to pull a tractor with his teeth, if he had taken steroids.
The interview of Clemens was an unfortunate public relations maneuver for his defense attorney. It was not a perceptive interview. But it renewed the interest after Wallace’s death.
Actually, Wallace hosted much more significant interviews during his career. The steroid interview with Roger Clemens was not the most significant. Why did it draw each person’s attention?
Other interviews of Wallace are quite significant. Wallace made an interview with the lawyer of the president Richard Nixon and the assistant to the president for Domestic Affairs John Ehrlichman during the Watergate scandal. Wallace called 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 Richard Nixon.
The Iranian leader Ayatollah Khomeini was also interviewed by Wallace. The reporter called him a “lunatic”. But he was quoting the president Anwar el-Sadat of Egypt.
Another person who was interviewed by Wallace was the Vice President of Research and Development at a tobacco company. Jeffrey Wigand admitted that executives of the company cheated before the Congress about their knowledge related to 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 can result in federal struggle against steroids, the war on nicotine will never exist.

Lean muscle mass and energy may be acquired due to usage of mustard

Certain recent studies have determined certain benefits of mustard. It is known by everyone that it is a good remedy that adds pleasant flavor to meal. Moreover, it has been defined that mustard can help to lose fat and improve physical appearance.
A study related to 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 research that a compound that is called “homobrassinolide” found in mustard and other related herbs may increase lean muscle size and energy in mammals.
28-Homobrassinolide represents a brassinosteroid. It is a type of steroid that is contained in plants which are included in Brassica family. It has been known that it can induce growing plants. But nobody has been aware about its role in mammals. The experts have defined that homobrassinolide is able to lead to anabolic effects in mammals. It promotes increasing synthesis of protein, stimulates appetite and enhances muscle size through enhancement of number and size of muscle fibers in animals.
Healthy rats have been involved in the research. They have been given oral homobrassinolide during 24 days. Dual-emission x-ray absorptiometry analysis has been applied in order to monitor changes in weight, food consumption and composition of rats’ bodies. It has been observed that animals that have been given homobrassinolide have received significantly more muscle mass than those that have not received this compound.
Enhancement of muscle size indicates about a higher basal metabolic rate. Increased BMR is associated with great caloric burning which helps to stay lean.
So, the research has clearly displayed that homobrassinolide enhances protein synthesis, enhances size and number of muscle fibers which play a significant role for enhancement of strength.
Specialists think that such plants, as mustard, may be used for more enhanced brassinosteroid content. It may help to have lean muscle mass, increase it and prevent some diseases.
It is suggested that future supplement and medicine industry will introduce preparations that will be efficient in case of some maladies linked with muscle wasting. Such preparations may be administered as alternative products to synthetic steroids because the first ones will probably cause minimal or no undesirable effects.
Leaves of mustard have little calories. They are rich in antioxidants. Leaves of mustard have anti-inflammatory properties. Moreover, they represent a brilliant source of iron, magnesium, fiber, selenium and phosphorous.
Mustard may be used for preparing salads, curds and tempering. It would be useful to consume at least one teaspoon of mustard with water or meal in order to acquire several positive effects.

Suspicions related to the doctor Alberto Beltran Nino were justified

A steroid investigation by Mossos d’Esqudra and Spain’s Policia Nacional led to arrest of ten persons that were implicated in a steroid chain. These individuals provided top amateur and professional sportspeople and even Olympic athletes with anabolic steroids, HGH, EPO, CERA and other related medications.  The operation was named “Operacion Skype”. The steroid ring was settled in Barcelona.
The investigation was initially connected with the professional cyclist David Garcia Dapena that tested positive for EPO after the 2010 Vuelta a Espana. It was confirmed that the cyclist had enhanced hematocrit levels that indicated about administration of EPO.
Garcia didn’t deny usage of the banned product. He collaborated with the police officials. The cyclist acknowledged that he had purchased medicines with performance-enhancing effects from the doctor Alberto Beltran Nino.
It was discovered that Beltran had been the leader of an organization connected with sophisticated doping. This organization supplied cyclists and other sportspeople with forbidden medications. It was also defined that certain sportspersons that participated in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the 2010 Vuelta a Espana, the 2009 Tour du Portugal and the 2012 Spanish Athletics Championships belonged to the group of athletes that got steroids and other forbidden medications from this doping organization.
It was even earlier supposed that Beltran supplied sportspersons with steroids and other controlled substances and taught them how to avoid detection. He was arrested in Italy after he was caught driving his car which contained steroids and other doping products.
The Portuguese professional cyclist Nuno Ribeiro accused the doctor Beltran in injecting him with prohibited medications after he tested positive for CERA in 2009.
The sprinter Jose Luis Blanco assisted in the steroid investigation that had been led against Beltran after this runner tested positive for EPO at the 2012 Spanish Athletics Championships.
Beltran moved to Bahrain in 2009. Since that time the doctor had no any direct contact with any sportsperson.
Nevertheless, the police believe that he has established a team of intermediaries in different countries. They have bought steroids and other related medicines and supplied top athletes with them.
Beltran was detained in Madrid in March 2012 by police. He was caught possessing AICAR and TB-500.
Although no any athlete has tested positive for these preparations, it is believed that several sportspersons have planned to administer these medications.

Application of AndroGel for bodybuilding!
In addition to common guidelines to this medication, you must follow several specific directions, when it comes to application of AndroGel for bodybuilding. Sportspeople who want to promote adding muscle mass due to this medicine should do exercises which implicate big muscles during usage of this product. Bench presses, leg presses, squats and arm curls must present. As for cardio workouts, they should be avoided during administration of AndroGel for bodybuilding. It is necessary to have also certain diets, if you want to acquire brilliant results. You meal should contain much protein and starchy carbohydrate.

Prostitutes use steroids for the same purposes like bodybuilders

Teenage females in Bangladesh who are involved in prostitution use steroids to add weight and bulk up. It has been written by Reuters. The article’s headline has the following words: “dark steroid secret”. It is noticed that prostitutes from Bangladesh apply steroids in order to have better appearance. Undoubtedly, the first thoughts that come in mind in this case are connected with abuse of anabolic steroids. But reading the article completely and more attentively, anyone can comprehend that it is spoken not about anabolic steroids but about corticosteroids.
One of corticosteroids that are purchasable at pharmacies of Bangladesh is known under the trade name Oradexon. It is not required to have a prescription in order to buy this product. Its cost is approximately 15 taka which equal to 0, 18 USD dollars. An alternative name of this product is Dexamethasone. This is an anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant medication which is recommended for cure of people that have different illnesses. This remedy is over 25 times more powerful that the natural steroid hormone cortisol.
90 % of prostitutes at the 15 legal whorehouses from Bangladesh take the corticosteroid Oradexon. 90 % equal to 900 young sex workers who utilize this medication continually. They take it willingly or are enforced to do it. Thus, some of them are enforced to administer it. But others use this preparation volitionally because it is confirmed that corticosteroids have ability to add strength and improve health.
It seems to be ironically but prostitutes from Bangladesh  who utilize corticosteroids have the same purposes like those that encourage bodybuilders to administer anabolic steroids. Sex workers use corticosteroids in order to improve physical appearance, add weight and increase appetite.
It is affirmed that Oradexon may give healthy appearance to users. It is appreciated by customers. A lady that is involved in prostitution in Bangladesh claims that customers are seeking healthy ladies. 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. Moreover, she put efforts to earn money for her son.
In fact, side effects that can appear because of corticosteroids are much more dangerous than those that can be provoked by intake of anabolic steroids. Corticosteroids can affect immune system, lead to osteoporosis and insulin resistance, increase appetite essentially, and enhance weight and fat.
Specialists try to draw people’s attention to abuse of corticosteroids and possible negative reactions of them.

Important factors related to usage of AndroGel for bodybuilding!
In addition to usual indications to this remedy, it is needed to obey certain particularized directions, when it comes to intake of AndroGel for bodybuilding. Bodybuilders that want to promote obtaining muscle mass due to this drug are required to perform exercises which implicate big muscles during application of this product. Bench presses, leg presses, squats and arm curls are required be done. When it comes to cardiovascular exercises, they must be avoided during application of AndroGel for bodybuilding. It is required to have also appropriate diets, if you desire to acquire good results. A lot of protein and starchy carbohydrate must be present in your food.

Did the NFL violate any law, suspending certain players that didn’t test positive for any prohibited medicine?

The National Football League sentenced to bans the linebacker D. J. Williams and Ryan McBean, a defensive lineman, of the team Denver Broncos for violation of steroid policy. These football players were suspended from six games. But they were not suspended for usage 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 confirmed that he had never tested for any banned preparation during eight years of his career. He noticed that he was proud of his records. The linebacker of the NFL mentioned that he was also proud of his manner in that he conducted himself, being a sportsman.
Peter Schaffer, the defensive attorney for McBean, claimed that the NFL had violated rights of this player. He noted that since McBean had never tested positive for any banned medicine, the NFL didn’t have any right to sentence him to suspension.
Peter Schaffer confirmed that he intended to make it clear that neither D. J. Williams, nor Ryan McBean tested positive for prohibited products.
A lawsuit was filed in Denver County Court against bans of these players of the NFL.
D. J. Williams and Ryan McBean affirmed that the drug testing officer had violated some rules related to the procedure of collecting urine samples.
Peter Schaffer mentioned that some similarities had been between his client and Ryan Braun. Braun won his appeal connected with his suspension from 50 games for application of testosterone. Ryan Braun could prove that Dino Laurenzi, the drug testing officer, violated steroid policy.
As for Laurenzi, he was defended and supported by different anti-doping agencies. The WADA also supported this drug testing officer. 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, another attitude was displayed to him. He was fired by the NFL for incorrect doing his duty.
At the hearing the NFL administrators acknowledged that the drug testing officer violated the chain of custody for urine samples.
Nevertheless, the appeal on behalf of the football players was rejected.

A medication is not a supplement

What may be called “a drug”? The FDA notes that a medication represents a substance; it is not a dietary supplement. It is taken for diagnosis, treatment, prevention of maladies, for appropriate influence on body’s functions. It is possible to notice that a drug is a drug that has nothing common with politics and great money.
But you may face certain confusion nowadays. A law that has been introduced in 1994 by Senators Orrin Hatch and Tom Harkin has led to the confusion between supplements and drugs. Thus, mega-billion dollar supplements industry has promoted causing 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 which is sold is safe.
This incorrect conception led to various serious problems. For example, more than a year ago 2 young soldiers of the U. S. Army died as a result of usage of so-called “dietary supplements” Jack3d and OxyElite Pro. The case is still investigated. Actually, it has been set that those soldiers had applied an amphetamine-like synthetic substance that has been called “dimethylamylamine”. It had negative influence on their cardiovascular and nervous systems. Since it has altered function of bodies, it is a drug. Although it is a prohibited substance applied by sportspersons, it is getable at the Vitamin Shoppe or GNC.
Health stores offer for sales preparations that are similar to that substance mentioned above. They are labeled as dietary supplements but it is not true.
Another example is DHEA. It is a steroid which may be transformed in users’ bodies into anabolic steroids or neurohormonal steroids. This aspect influences on physiological functions of body. Is it a dietary supplement really?
Another product which is getable as a dietary supplement is RockHard Weekend. It contains various compounds. But does anyone know which substances are contained in the bottle? Can anyone be sure that they are safe for administartion?
One of people’s mistakes is that they think the following way: if any preparation is made of plants, it is safe for application. A lot of persons affirm that such supplements can’t have negative influence on body’s functions. It is wrong to think this way. There are plants which are poisonous. It is not allowed to consume them.
Hemlock was the poison which led to Socrates’ death. It was derived from certain herb. Ricin which 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 consume in order to avoid using products that contain any poison, regardless they are from herbs or not.
Why are companies permitted to offer for sales medicines as if they were dietary supplemenets? Dietary supplements don’t pass any FDA control. Here we may say about affirmations with doubled sense. The Hatch-Harken law allows the supplement industry to introduce substances which are labeled as supplements. But are they really supplements? Several drugs are getable, being labeled as dietary supplements. But it is wrong completely. These products can be unsafe.
Does anyone suppose that anabolic steroids and other related medications may be marketed as supplements? Do they supplement or treat? A term was elaborated in order to prevent utilizing medical terms. This term is “to support”. What does “to support” mean? Isn’t it a wink to the term “to treat”?
The FDA plans to establish control over supplements. There will be a requirement for all new supplements to be safe.
Pharmaceutical companies spend great amount of dollars in order to determine whether new medicines are safe. Some of them fail to be called “safe” because of grave adverse responses. But as for manufacturers of supplements, they don’t have these problems because there do not have such requirements in supplement industry.
Supplement regulations are linked with money and not with science. In fact, they should have the same regulations like those which are established for pharmaceutical companies.

Newsworthy information about Anavar side effects
One may determine the most common Anavar side effects. Such unwanted consequences which happen in increased percentage of those who utilize this remedy are included in this class. Let list these negative reactions: depression, low appetite, acne, hair loss, skin tingling, feeling sick, vomiting, breathing difficulties, dark urine and sexual troubles. Although these reactions are quite unpleasant, there is a positive side here. Some Anavar side effects occur due to predisposition and improper intake of this steroid. Thus, if you don’t have predisposition to certain undesirable reactions and follow all indications, you can be out of danger.

Coaches are the main persons that promote taking steroids

Brian McNamee confirms that coaches are the principal persons who induce administration of anabolic steroids. The convicted distributor of steroids confirms that coaches have the most relevant influence on decisions of young sportspersons to administer banned products. Their influence is larger than one of street dealers who offer banned substances for sales, trying to convince young persons that they can succeed due to application of these medications. Brian McNamee suggests that trainers and the society teach young sportspersons that they must win at any cost. This aspect pressures students that go info sports. It leads to their decision to take 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 thoughts  during a presentation that was called “Creating a Safe Environment for Our Student-Athletes”. He received an honorarium of 200 dollars. McNamee presented this sum of money to the Taylor Hooton Foundation.
McNamee is known better as a trainer who has injected Roger Clemens with anabolic steroids and HGH. It was noted that he saved all syringes and vials that were applied for injecting Clemens with steroids during approximately seven years. He supported accusations of federal prosecutors against Clemens.

The BOA claims that it has the highest standards

The British Olympic Association put efforts to justify itself for the aspect that it breaks laws of the World Anti-Doping Agency. According to laws of the WADA, punishment for application of anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs should be unvarying in the whole  world. The penalty which is indicated for an athlete who has utilized prohibited preparations for the first time is sentencing to bans of 2 years.
But the British Olympic Association considers that such punishment is not good enough. The BOA sentences users of steroids for life-time bans from participating in the Olympic Games. The WADA notices that this rule of the BOA contradicts the WADA Code which is universal.
Lord Moynihan, the chairman of the BOA, hasn’t agreed to concede. As a result, a hearing has been scheduled to be at a Court of Arbitration for Sports in London.
The sportspersons who had taken forbidden preparations were banned by the International Olympic Committee from taking part in Olympics under the Osaka Rule.
The chairman of the BOA said that the rule of the BOA connected with life-time suspensions wouldn’t be cancel, if even the CAS would not support it. The BOA thinks that it has the best rules.
Lord Moynihan supported affirmations written by the former British Olympic decathlete Daley Thompson that noticed that British laws connected with usage of prohibited medications were superior. He noted that they shouldn’t be overthrown by the rest part of the world.
Delay Thompson confirms that dopers should be punished harshly. They must be banned for the whole life. According to his words, the BOA shouldn’t agree with the law of the WADA to sentence dopers only for 2-year suspensions. He confirms that the Britain wants to have the highest sport standards. He states 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 low levels.
David Howman, the director general of the WADA, criticizes affirmations proclaimed by Daley, noticing that steroid testing has been only 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 who always blames cheaters blames the BOA for the strict rule.
Travis Tygart states that since international laws have been once established and all have agreed to them, everyone must follow them.
Dwain Chambers and David Millar, British athletes, that have been earlier suspended for usage of prohibited drugs wait for the conclusions related to this issue. They want to know whether they will be allowed to take part in the 2012 London Olympics.
