Links between Garrett Reid’s steroids and Philadelphia Eagles

Garrett Reid, a son of the coach Andy Reid, was found unconscious at his dormitory room. Although Omar Elkhamra, the team doctor of the Philadelphia Eagles, put efforts to revive him, the efforts of the doctor turned out to be in vain. The county coroner concluded that this young person (29 years old) died of a heroin overdose.
Garrett Reid’s death was a real tragedy for the family of the coach. Moreover, the case caused several problems for the Philadelphia Eagles. The football players had to clear themselves from suspicions connected with usage of steroids. Several anabolic steroids were found by police in the dormitory of Garret Reid. Moreover, syringes and needles were found in his possession as well. The steroids were named by police. It was revealed that Garrett Reid possessed Nandrolone Phenylpropionate, Boldenone Undecylenate, Testosterone Propionate and Trenbolone Acetate. Since these medications were found at Garrett Reid’s dormitory room, several suspicions appeared. It was noticed that the coach’s son probably provided these forbidden preparations to members of the Philadelphia Eagles. So, Garrett Reid’s death turned out to be a trouble for the whole sport organization.
Some of anabolic steroids revealed at Garrett Reid’ dormitory room are fast-acting. These drugs are usually liked by athletes that submit to drug testing. Since they are excreted from the body in short period of time after application, it is more difficult to catch those who have used these medications. Thus, it is suspected that such preparations must have been administered by players of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Despites suspicions, nothing was proved. It was not reported yet whether steroids were found in the body of Garrett Reid.
The NFL spokesman affirmed that he would report when it will be clear whether steroids found in Garrett Reid’s room were linked to Philadelphia Eagles.

Do college athletes use steroids?

A few college athletes are caught applying prohibited drugs. Does it mean that they don’t take performance-enhancing drugs? Less than 1% of college football players have been caught violating anti-doping rules. They have tested positive for anabolic steroids and/or other performance-enhancing drugs. Such situation must convince anti-doping agencies that they win in the war on doping. But several suspicions arise. It is believed that numerous college football players take steroids and/or other related medications but they avoid detection successfully.
Why do such suspicions arise? Changes in appearance of college football players lead to controversial opinions. So, changes in body weight of over 61,000 college football players were recently analyzed by the Associated Press. Results displayed that numerous college football players enhanced their body mass in short period of time significantly. More than 20 pounds were gained by more than 4,500 college football players during a year. Moreover, circa 100 persons increased the body mass by more than 80 pounds during a year. As you see, the gains were significant.
Certain specialists assure that these aspects should not trouble anti-doping officers. They affirm that anti-doping officers shouldn’t subject college football players to drug tests just because they have increased body weight essentially.
But other specialists have another point of view. However they agree that it is impossible to be sure that certain football players have applied steroids and/or other related medications, basing only on changes in body weight, they notice that the changes may be a factor that causes suspicions connected with administration of steroids. So, such persons that have increased body weight in short time should be subjected to drug testing.
Certain college athletes that enhanced body mass essentially in short period of time were asked about their changes. The athletes affirmed that they had never taken any forbidden preparations. They affirmed that they achieved such dramatic changes naturally. The college athletes noticed that they had consumed much food for this need. So, they claimed that such evident results were reached by them because of appropriate diets. According to them, it was not difficult to gain many pounds in short period of time.

Ways to prevent hair loss while taking anabolic steroids

Steroids are widely used in medicine and in bodybuilding and sports. Numerous persons apply these medications in order to improve their health. These preparations are indicated for treatment of some illnesses. Furthermore, many sportspersons and bodybuilders administer steroids in order to increase muscle mass, gain strength, regenerate exercise-damaged muscles, etc. But several persons are not ready to assume some risks related to these drugs. It is known that anabolic steroids may cause some undesirable reactions. One of negative effects of these products is hair loss. Thus, some individuals try to avoid application of anabolic steroids because they don’t want to experience this adverse effect. Moreover, certain individuals are predisposed to this problem genetically. If they apply certain steroids, they may get baldness.
Fortunately, some adverse consequences of anabolic steroids may be prevented or at least minimized and treated. When it comes to hair loss, there are several medications which can help to prevent this problem. There are also such products that can promote re-growth of hair. Those who have to apply anabolic steroids may apply some remedies to prevent hair loss or cause re-growth of hair. Which medications are useful for this need?
Since hair loss occurs because of high levels of dihydrotestosterone, some persons use Propecia that blocks dihydrotestosterone and prevents hair loss. But this is not the best preparation for prevention of hair loss while taking anabolic steroids. Blocking of dihydrotestosterone by this medication may cause sexual dysfunctions.
Rogaine, Retin-A and Lattisse are useful. The FDA has approved Rogaine for treatment of hair loss. Rogaine may be stacked with Retin-A or Latisse. Rogaine and Latisse are capable to prevent hair loss which 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 administered in case of hair loss. Nonetheless, it is stated by certain experts that this product may be taken for re-growth of hair successfully.

Serious kidney dysfunctions occur in those that apply steroids incorrectly

Anabolic steroids are frequently demonized for various illnesses of consumers. Of course, these preparations may cause certain adverse effects. Nevertheless, steroids are often blamed without any reason. It is reported frequently by the media that these medicines cause different illnesses, crimes, deaths. But it is important to comprehend nature of these preparations and see when these medications should not be demonized.
Let analyze two situations. One of the situations is linked with the former American bodybuilder Flex Wheeler. Another case is linked with another former bodybuilder Luke Wood.
The former American bodybuilder Flex Wheeler experienced kidney failure. He submitted to a kidney transplant. Since he used steroids, the media decided to demonize these products for kidney disorders of Flex Wheeler. Actually, Flex Wheeler had a hereditary kidney disease. Of course, usage of anabolic steroids contributed to the complications. But did Flex Wheeler take anabolic steroids correctly? Did he follow reasonable recommendations related to dosages and duration of application? No, he didn’t. Flex Wheeler took too enhanced quantities of steroids. Moreover, he administered these drugs long period of time. In addition to these factors, the former American bodybuilder administered also other medications that had negative influence on his kidneys. So, anabolic steroids should not be blamed for Flex Wheeler’s health problems.
As it has been already noticed, another situation is linked with the former bodybuilder Luke Wood. His death followed after a kidney transplant, being a young person. The media also decided to blame anabolic steroids in this case. It was reported that steroids caused kidney dysfunctions in Luke Wood. But you should be informed that the bodybuilder used not only anabolic steroids. He administered also insulin, pain drugs, DNP and other medications that influenced on the kidneys negatively. Thus, it is impossible to affirm that anabolic steroids were responsible for his kidney failure and death.
According to many experts, if steroids are administered correctly, severe kidney disorders don’t occur.

Mark McGwire respects rules linked with professional baseball

Mark McGwire, an American baseball player and coach acknowledged that he had applied anabolic steroids and HGH.
There are many points of view that are linked with the baseball player’s admission. According to many persons, Mark McGwire admitted to taking banned products because he desired to come back to professional baseball.
Being interviewed, the American baseball player and coach claimed lately that he made a mistake when he decided to take steroids. But he noted that he had administered anabolic steroids not for improvement of performance. The baseball player and coach reported that he had taken steroids and HGH only for medical needs.
It is interesting to notice that when Mark McGwire admitted to using banned remedies, his fans and other persons were not surprised at all. Why were not they surprised? They knew about it. Several individuals revealed that Mark McGwire applied steroids before he admitted. A FBI informant affirmed that the American baseball player had bought Testosterone Cypionate, Testosterone Enanthate, Equipose and Winstrol from the steroid dealer Curtis Wenzlaff and taken these medicines.
Another person that reported about administration of steroids by Mark McGwire was the “godfather of steroids” Jose Canseco. He claimed that he injected Mark McGwire with anabolic steroids. But the “godfather” of steroids in baseball was not the first individual who helped Mark McGwire to administer anabolic steroids. Jay, Mark’s brother, was the first individual that injected the baseball player with anabolic steroids.
Although Mark McGwire revealed that he had used steroids, he said nothing about statements pronounced by his brother, Jose Canseco and the FBI informant. He didn’t disclose whether these statements were true or not.
Mark McGwire notices that he understands that he will never be in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Furthermore, the admitted steroid user claims that he will never fight to be voted for the Hall of Fame. Mark McGwire has respect to all rules linked with baseball. He comprehends that those that have ever administered prohibited substances must not be in the Hall of Fame.

Anabolic steroids can’t cause fungal meningitis

More than 500 persons were contaminated with fungal meningitis after they had used Methylprednisolone injections manufactured by the New England Compounding Center (NECC). More than 30 individuals died from this disease. No one must have doubted that the contamination was a great tragedy for several persons and their families. Nonetheless, anti-doping organizations tried to benefit from the situation. What did they do? They started blaming anabolic steroids. It was noted by the media that anabolic steroids could cause the life-threatening illness fungal meningitis.
Recently the Bay County Sheriff’s Office conducted an investigation related to illicit manufacture of anabolic steroids. It learnt that anabolic steroids were produced by an underground lab in unsterile conditions. The Bay County Sheriff’s Office claimed that they conducted the investigation for prevention of contamination with fungal meningitis in future. According to the Bay County Sheriff’s Office, if somebody uses anabolic steroids produced in unsterile conditions, he/she has a risk to get fungal meningitis.
Actually, the Bay County Sheriff’s Office manifested own ignorance related to anabolic steroids and risks linked with contamination with fungal meningitis. An individual may face fungal meningitis, if he/she takes drugs 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. As for anabolic steroids, they are not injected into the central nervous system. They are mainly introduced into muscles. That’s why it is impossible to be contaminated with fungal meningitis while taking anabolic steroids. If you take anabolic steroids that are manufactured in unsterile conditions, you may get several undesirable results. But you will never get fungal meningitis while taking anabolic steroids for medical or even for athletic needs.  
Thus, the fungal meningitis outbreak resulted from usage of contaminated Methylprednisolone Acetate injections turned out to be just a condition to blame anabolic steroids.  Note, please: Methylprednisolone Acetate is not an anabolic steroid. It belongs to corticosteroids.

Tammy Thomas: God has plan linked with my life

Tammy Thomas, a former American cyclist, applied the steroid THG. As a result, she was suspended from professional sports for the whole life.
Tammy Thomas desired to take part in the 2004 Olympic Games. That’s why the cyclist decided to use steroids in order to increase her performance and make her dreams connected with the Olympic Games real. But since she was caught using prohibited preparations, she was not permitted to compete at the Olympics.
The cyclist was charged with lying to the Grand Jury. She turned out to be targeted during the BALCO investigation. It was claimed that the cyclist didn’t say truth about intake of anabolic steroids and getting of THG. While she was charged with lying to the Grand Jury, she presented some arguments in order to defend herself against the accusations.
Tammy Thomas said that she hadn’t administered any prohibited remedy. In fact, she didn’t lie. At that time THG was not written on the list of forbidden drugs. It was claimed to be just an unapproved new product. THG was introduced by the chemist Patrick Arnold.
While the BALCO foundation sold THG to many sportspersons, it was affirmed that Tammy Thomas obtained this medicine from Patrick Arnold. But the American cyclist denied this statement. Finally, she claimed that Patrick Arnold’s former girlfriend supplied her with THG.
The arguments of Tammy Thomas were rejected. She was given a home detection of 6 months and probation of 5 years.
The former cyclist repented completely. She acknowledged that she acted wrongly. So, she decided to alter her life. Being a religious individual, Tammy Thomas believes that God has a plan linked with her life. She said that she would do everything in order to act so, as God whishes. She founded a fitness center and decided to help others to maintain their health.

Mariusz Wach will be probably banned

It was affirmed by the German newspaper Bild that Mariusz Wach, a polish boxer, failed drug testing. This sportsman tested positive for steroids. The drug testing was conducted before the fight between this sportsman and Vladimir Klichko, an Ukrainian boxer and a world champion.
According to A-sample of Mariusz Wach, he took anabolic steroids. Results of his B-sample are not known yet.
It is interesting to note that the German newspaper Bild reported about the steroid positive of Mariusz Wach before it was done by the German Boxing Federation. According to Mariusz Kolodziej, the promoter of the boxer Wach it shows that the German Boxing Federation doesn’t do its job properly. It lacks professionalism completely.
What did Mariusz Wach affirm in order to defend himself? Actually, the polish boxer didn’t try to defend himself. The sportsperson only stated that he had never used any anabolic steroids or other forbidden drugs intentionally. The boxer even said that he didn’t know what he actually took. He cared just about trainings and proper diets. When it comes to dietary supplements, they were chosen and provided by his trainers. The polish athlete trusted his trainers entirely. The boxer didn’t even ask which supplements were taken by him. Mariusz Wach decided to put the total responsibility connected with supplements on his trainers and he was not interested in the essence of products that were given by his trainers.
Mariusz Wach didn’t desire to accuse his trainers of his steroid positive. The boxer only revealed the reality.
Thus, it is possible to suggest that Mariusz Wach has administered a contaminated dietary supplement. You know, it happens quite frequently that sportspeople use dietary supplements which turn out to contain steroidal compounds. Thus, troubles start.
If Mariusz Wach’s B-sample displays that the boxer has administered banned medications, he will be probably banned for one year. He will be also sentenced to pay a fine.

Why shouldn’t 18-year old boys use steroids?

You probably have read many articles about dangers connected with administration of steroids by 18-year old boys. It is frequently noted that those that are under 21 years old must not take anabolic steroids for athletic purposes. Administration of steroids by 18-year old boys is considered to be very dangerous for their health. But you should know that there are also other points of view. Some experts notice that 18-year old boys may use steroids without any fear to experience grave unwanted reactions. Adolescents are encouraged by such statements. They consider that if they take 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 take anabolic steroids, it is better for them to avoid taking these medicines. Why? There are some reasons which are listed below:

1. Adolescents don’t become professional sportspeople with the help of steroids.
Teenagers know that numerous professional sportspersons administer anabolic steroids. Adolescents see that these persons have success. Thus, they think that sportspersons reach great success with the help of anabolic steroids. But this is a wrong conception. Anabolic steroids are not mysterious remedies that can make any individual a professional athlete.

2. Teenagers don’t have sufficient knowledge about steroids.
Since adolescents don’t possess knowledge about anabolic steroids, they take these preparations wrongly. As a result, they don’t get needed benefits; on the contrary, they may get serious undesirable effects.

3. Adolescents don’t accompany administration of steroids by proper trainings and nutrition.
Teenagers neglect to have suitable trainings and nutrition during usage of anabolic steroids. They should know that it is very important to have suitable workouts and nutrition that are needed for their athletic goals.

Amnesty will be provided to those that have said everything about their doping

The USADA desires to find out whether you have ever applied anabolic steroids, EPO, HGH and/or other forbidden preparations. 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. So, the investigation goes on. The USADA plans 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 administered forbidden substances. What is the best method to clean cycling of doping? The USADA puts efforts in order to define and use the best methods. This anti-doping organization is even ready to compare eradication of doping in cycling with that in South Africa.
The USADA says that those that administer steroids and other related medicines should be punished. Users of steroids and/or other doping products are demonized 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. So, the USADA supposes that if steroids and users of steroids are demonized, it will be easier to eradicate doping.
In fact, the USADA asks the International Cycling Association to institute a Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The commission will investigate different cases linked with doping. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission will try to determine why several cyclists have applied steroids and/or other performance-enhancing drugs but remained undetectable.
Moreover, the USADA promises that “amnesty” will be provided to those who admit to taking steroids and/or other forbidden medicines, 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 the sport of cycling entirely.
Travis Tygart, the CEO of the USADA, claims that there are several cyclists connected with Lance Armstrong that have remained undetectable. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission should identify them.

Football players lie about drugs which are used by them

The National Football League is not permitted to disclose details, when players fail drug tests. It is only reported that certain persons have tested positive for banned drugs. But the League must not report which substances have been taken by these sportspersons. So, some football players lie about preparations that have resulted in positives.
Why do some football players choose to cheat about preparations that have been administered by them? Let explain.
Numerous football players that fail drug tests say that they have applied Adderall. Actually, they have administered anabolic steroids. Why do they say that they have tested positive for Adderall? What does Adderall represent? This is a preparation that is used for treatment of attention-deficit disorder. But this medicine is administered not just for this clinical purpose. Sportspersons and bodybuilders apply this drug for athletic goals.
When it comes to anabolic steroids, they are harshly blamed. Numerous reporters, scientists, anti-doping officers and ordinary persons claim that these drugs are too dangerous. They may lead to various severe side reactions. Anabolic steroids are blamed even for some crimes. But as for Adderall, this product 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 banned products, as anabolic steroids. Since consumers of Adderall are not criticized harshly, football players affirm that they have failed drug tests because they have used Adderall.
A football player compared this situation with following cases: those who are arrested with cocaine tell others that they have administered marijuana because cocaine is more harshly demonized than the last one.
You should not think that each football player that says that he has tested positive for Adderall has actually used steroids. But it is possible to claim that those that apply Adderall are less demonized than those that apply steroids.

Strength and conditioning coaches should be pushed from boxing

Freddie Roach is a well-known American trainer in boxing. He coaches the celebrated boxer Manny Pacquiao. The trainer notes that he knows the best method to eliminate the problem of doping in boxing. According to this coach, strength and conditioning coaches should be demonized for usage of anabolic steroids and other related medicines in this sport. He believes that they teach boxers to administer doping products. So, the trainer Freddie Roach claims that it is necessary to get rid of each strength and conditioning coach. It will lead to eradication of steroid use from boxing.
What does Freddie Roach think about significant changes that have occurred in physique and performance of the boxer Juan Manuel Marquez. Actually, there are various points of view about this boxer and dramatic changes in him. A lot of individuals think that he has administered anabolic steroids which have caused these changes in him. As for Freddie Roach, he believes 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 disclosed names of some athletes that used anabolic steroids, he was not charged with any crimes linked with distribution of anabolic steroids.
Thus, the trainer Freddie Roach states that strength and conditioning coaches like Memo Heredia should be pushed from boxing. It is the best method to eliminate administration of steroids and other related products from boxing.
It is interesting to mention that Manny Pacquiao, Freddie Roach’s client, also has a strength coach. Does it mean that this well-known boxer takes steroids and/or other related drugs? The trainer Freddie Roach affirms that the strength coach Alex Arizo doesn’t provide steroids to Manny Pacquiao.
Alex Arizo and Memo Heredia are friends. So, Alex Arizo tries to defend his friend, claiming that Freddie Roach’s accusations are incorrect. Actually, Freddie Roach says that he doesn’t like to pronounce any accusations connected with application of anabolic steroids and other related medications. But he has to do it because this is the essence of boxing.
While Alex Arizo affirms that Memo Heredia doesn’t provide steroids to Marquez, Freddie Roach has own point of view. He continues to believe that Marquez is tainted. According to Freddie Roach, dramatic physical transformations of this athlete display that he administers steroids and/or other doping products.

Is synthol responsible for largest arms in world?

Moustafa Ismail, an Egyptian bodybuilder, has the largest arms in the world. His name was recorded in the Guinness book of the world records. This person affirms that his large arms are natural. Moustafa Ismail claims that he has the largest biceps in the world because he has too strict diets and workouts. Moustafa Ismail eats chickens, almonds and fish every day. The bodybuilder also consumes much water and protein shakes.
However it is evident that nutrition and workouts have essential role, many individuals doubt about natural arms of Moustafa Ismail. It is difficult to believe that appropriate trainings and diets can cause such enhancement in arms. Which factors are responsible for the large arms of the Egyptian bodybuilder?
When it was reported that Moustafa Ismail’s arms were 32 inches, accusations related to application of steroids appeared soon. Some individuals suggest that anabolic steroids are responsible for the massive arms of this guy. What did Moustafa Ismail say about usage of steroids? He said that he had taken anabolic steroids while living in Egypt. Purchase and usage of these products are legal under laws of this country. These medications are available at any pharmacy in Egypt. Moreover, anabolic steroids are not expensive there. But Moustafa Ismail said that he had to discontinue administering these products, when he moved to the USA. It is know that purchase and usage of these medicines without a prescription are claimed to be illegal under laws of the US. These products are purchased on the black market by those that take them in the US illegally. Thus, Moustafa Ismail discontinued taking these drugs after he moved to the USA.
But if even Moustafa Ismail administers steroids, it doesn’t matter because these products don’t enhance arms. They are not responsible for the bodybuilder’s large arms.
There are other remedies that 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 Moustafa Ismail applies Synthol. However, the Egyptian bodybuilder affirms that he doesn’t use this remedy.
The Egyptian bodybuilder claims that he is hurt by accusations related to steroids and Synthol. He has been subjected to examination conducted by an independent doctor that hasn’t seen any abnormality in the arms of this person. Thus, it is unclear whether the bodybuilder’s arms are natural or not.

Scott Mercier revealed truth about doping in professional cycling

Although you probably never heard about Scott Mercier, his affirmations linked with administration of doping products in professional cyclist spread very quickly. This athlete belonged to the US Postal Cycling team before Lance Armstrong’s arrival. Several affirmations of Scott Mercier revealed the truth that was hidden in cycling.
Actually, the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) made incorrect conclusions linked with role of Lance Armstrong in doping. The famous American cyclist was accused and found guilty of intake of banned preparations throughout his cycling career. While it may be true, the USADA affirmed that Lance Armstrong promoted doping in professional cycling. But these affirmations turned out to be false. Why? Which words were pronounced by Scott Mercier?
Scott Mercier affirmed that their team doctor Pedro Celaya had a special program for the US Postal Cycling team. He discussed about the program with each rider. Pedro Celaya affirmed that they had to ride 200-250 km every day. Moreover, Pedro Celaya established doping program which had to accompany trainings. Thus, he supplied US Postal Cycling team’s sportspersons with steroids, EPO and some other medicines.
These recommendations were offered by Pedro Celaya, when Lance Armstrong didn’t ride professionally. This man had testicular cancer that time. There was no any doubt that this person would not be able to be involved in professional cycling. His cancer spread throughout the 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 induce doping in professional cycling. It became evident that doping was established by Pedro Celaya before Lance Armstrong’s arrival.
During 1990s professional cyclists administered Andriol. Then they applied testosterone patches. Under recommendations of Pedro Celaya cyclists used the method of overdosing in order to avoid detection by anti-doping agencies.

Melky Cabrera continues to succeed in professional baseball

Intake of anabolic steroids and certain other drugs is prohibited in numerous sports organizations, including the Major League Baseball (MLB). Sportspersons that are caught using forbidden drugs are sentenced to suspensions, fines, etc. Although sportspeople know about these aspects, many of them continue applying anabolic steroids and/or other banned remedies. As a result, several sportspersons spoil their athletic reputation totally. Nonetheless, several sportspersons succeed, if even they violate anti-doping rules.
Let take the Dominican baseball player Melky Cabrera as an example. He played baseball for San Francisco Giants. He was claimed to be one of the best baseball players. It was believed that he induced winning evidentially. 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 stated that a dietary supplement caused his positive. Certain individuals desired to help him in that situation. Thus, a fake site was formed. An advertisement for a tainted supplement was posted. But the trick was unmasked. The athlete had to serve the suspension.
While he served the ban, the San Francisco Giants saw that they could win without him.
Recently the Dominican baseball player obtained a $16 million contract. Melky Cabrera will play for the Toronto Blue Jays.
 As you see, administration of steroids couldn’t destruct the athletic career of the Dominican baseball player. He continues to play baseball professionally and earn great sums of money.
This is just an example that shows that application of forbidden medicines doesn’t destroy athletic careers in several cases.

Myogenix marketed and sold Spawn as dietary supplement

Dietary supplements companies frequently label anabolic steroids as nutrition supplements. So, they sell these illicit substances. They bamboozle the Drug Enforcement Administration and clients that acquire such preparations. As a result, some sportspersons test positive for forbidden substances while they affirm that they have never taken any steroid or another prohibited drug. 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 which was marketed as a dietary supplement. It was named Spawn. It was composed of the following ingredients: 19-Norandrosta-4,9 diene-3,17 dione and 2a,3a-epithio-17a-methyletioallocholanol. Thus, the supplement Spawn consisted of 2 steroids but it was labeled as a dietary supplement.
The company Myogenix admitted to selling Spawn since 2007 till 2009. Myogenix was sentenced to pay a fine of $500.000. Furthermore, the company forfeited $100.000 immediately.
According to the decision of the judge, preparations manufactured and sold by the company Myogenix will be tested for five years by an independent organization. All new nutrition supplements should be controlled scrupulously and approved by the FDA before the company will be allowed to sell them.
In fact, Myogenix should be thankful to the defense attorney Rick Collins who has defended the company. He defended the owners and other stuff of the company efficaciously. No one went to jail. This defense attorney was hired to defend also other companies that were related to the site Bodybuilding.com. These companies also were sentenced just to fines and money forfeitures.
