Jordan Matechuk hoped to escape from depression with help of steroid use

Jordan Matechuk, a Canadian football player 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 claimed that his depression was responsible for the decision to purchase and use anabolic steroids.
The football player noted that he utilized anabolic steroids and marijuana in order to be able to manage his depression. He said that earlier he had administered anti-depressant medications. Stopping administering anti-depressant remedies probably resulted in intake of steroids.
Matechuk said that he suffered from depression. He started to utilize steroids and marijuana in order to feel better. Jordan Matechuk acknowledged that he was responsible for this condition. He wouldn’t have discontinued using anti-depressant preparations. But he stopped utilizing them. This factor led to steroid use.
The football player Jordan Matechuk pleaded guilty to possession of steroids and marijuana.
Although he faced up to 2 years in prison, he was sentenced to 90 years in prison. But Jordan Matechuk was released after he served just 60 days.
Matechuk claimed that there were some other circumstances but he decided to keep them out of public knowledge.
The Canadian Football League gave him the second possibility to play professional football.
He wrote a letter and sent it to every member of the team. Matechuk claimed about his shame for his arrest linked with possession and usage of steroids. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats didn’t desire to receive the consumer of steroids back to the team.
But the Winnipeg Blue Bombers decided to give him the second chance. Thus, Matechuk was happily accepted by this team.

Australian bodybuilder used bullying excuse in order to avoid imprisonment for importation of steroids

Brenton Dowell, a bodybuilder from Australia, was caught possessing and smuggling great quantities of anabolic steroids in March 2011. It was determined that these steroids could be sufficient to be utilized for over 60 years by one user. Many individuals believed that this bodybuilder would be sentenced to jail. But Dowell escaped from imprisonment successfully.
The Australian Customs and Border Protection Service noted that this bodybuilder had attempted to import more than 3 kg of testosterone powder. The packages that contained the raw powder were mailed in September, October and November 2011. They were directed to three various places: to Dowell’s home, to his father and his stepfather.
In fact, such large quantities of raw testosterone powder could be purchased just for manufacture of anabolic steroids by underground labs in order to sell them on the black market. 3 kg of raw testosterone powder could be utilized for preparing of 1500 10-ml vials with ready drugs.
Len Hartnett, the defense attorney for Brenton Dowell, argued that the testosterone powder had been ordered for his client’s self-administration. He noticed that Dowell’s use of steroids was caused by bullying attacks that he received, when he was an overweight kid. Thus, according to the defense attorney, Brenton Dowell became addicted to bodybuilding and started to administer steroids because he was an overweight child.
The judge Graeme Hicks was influenced by words of the defense attorney Len Harnett who described experiences of Brenton Dowell in his childhood. The judge added that it could be concluded that Brenton Dowell had become obsessed by bodybuilding.
Thus, the judge believed the arguments of Len Harnett. Based on the descriptions and affirmations of the defense attorney, the judge Graeme Hicks believed that Brenton Dowell had ordered steroids personal use and for sales to his friends in order to pay off personal usage.
Brenton Dowell was sentenced to a fine of 10, 000 dollars and 2-year suspended sentence.

Wrong conclusions of pathologist result in misleading news

Georgina Howarth, a pathologist, concluded that the death of Mohammed Belkhair, a 19-year boy, had been caused by administration of anabolic steroids. She noticed that anabolic steroids had led to heart failure which had resulted in the death.
According to the pathologist Howarth, if this boy had not applied steroids, he would have lived today. She affirmed that application of steroids was the only reason of the death. Howarth noticed that the death of this guy was a lesson for each person to be far from such products.
The sister of Mohammed Belkhair found him vomiting in his bedroom on May, 2011. The teenager acknowledged that he had utilized steroids. The death occurred at the same day. It was reported that steroids had been found in his system.
According to some articles, DHEA and Tamoxifen were 2 steroids that were found in the system of the guy. DHEA is sold overall in Britain and in the USA.
But actually, the news is misleading. Tamoxifen is not included in anabolic steroids. This medicine has been originally introduced to treat individuals with breast cancer. It has become widespread among athletes and bodybuilders who use steroids because of its capacity to prevent aromatization of other products.
It seems to be curiously but nothing was noticed about arrest of Mohammed Belkhair. This condition might contribute in his death. This teenager was arrested on the night before his death by police officials. 4 various anabolic steroids were found in his room. But the names of the steroids were not mentioned.
Although the police encounter and arrest occurred certain hours before the death of this teenager, the doctor Georgina Howarth didn’t investigate these conditions. Furthermore, she didn’t provide any explanation about this aspect. Police officials released nothing as well.
Since it was reported that Mohammed Belkhair had ordered steroids per internet, the news linked with dangers of getting steroids online were spread in the country. Thus, it turned out to be convenient for changing the laws in order to make ordering of steroids via internet illegal in Britain. The British government plans to make personal importation of steroids per mail and per internet criminal. It will be in near future. Although it is believed that these laws will be enacted before the Olympics, they are not still enacted.

If an athlete uses steroids in the UK, he/she doesn’t commit any crime under laws of this country

Officials of the British government will be not capable to stop sportspersons importing steroids to the UK, when they come to participate in the 2012 Olympics. However application of steroids is forbidden in sports, personal intake of these drugs is legal in the UK. Just sale of steroids is considered to be illegal in this country. Thus, if a person wants to import quantity of anabolic steroids which is evidentially large, he/she will not be allowed to do it.
Before Olympic Games took place in Australia, Canada and China, governments of these countries changed legislation related to import and intake of steroids at least temporally. But the British government doesn’t want to modify steroid legislation for the 2012 Summer Olympics.
Ironically, although the British government doesn’t desire to make personal administration of steroids criminal, Britain athletes are banned for lifetime, if they utilize anabolic steroids. As for the WADA Code, athletes who administer banned preparations are banned for 2 years.
The Olympic minister Hugh Robertson notes that it is needed to have a universal law connected with sentencing. He insists on at least 4 years or even longer.  However this minister is supported by the British Olympic Association, the UK Anti-Doping Agency doesn’t agree with such harsh punishment. Andy Parkinson, the CEO of the UK Anti-Doping Agency, claims that several sanctions should be softened.
Hugh Robertson realizes that there are different opinions in sports and it’s not well but he doesn’t ask Andy Parkinson to resign.
The spokesperson for the minister has noticed that any athlete can have steroids in his/her luggage, when he/she arrives to London. But the amount of steroids should confirm that he/she possesses them just for personal usage. The spokesperson has noted that it is not criminal for an athlete to administer steroids under laws of the UK but if any sportsperson is caught using forbidden drugs, he/she will be punished under anti-doping laws.
The UKAD claimed that they would collaborate with border control officers. Information about athletes will be used by anti-doping officials.
5, 000 drug test, including 1, 000 blood tests will be conducted by the International Olympic Committee.

Long-term application of steroids is dangerous for heart

Prolonged usage of anabolic steroids can lead to various heart disorders. It increases risks connected with heart failure. These affirmations have been made due to a study which has been written in Circulation: Heart Failure, an American Heart Association journal.
Anabolic-androgenic steroids work like the hormone testosterone that occurs naturally and that is responsible for development of male sex characteristics.
The leader of the study Aaron L. Baggish states that in addition to the fact that anabolic steroids are illegal, they are connected with negative effects for health. He notices that it is the first time, when negative effect of prolonged application of steroids on heart is clearly recognized.
The study manifested that the left ventricle in steroid users was substantially weaker during contraction than in those that didn’t take steroids.
A left ventricle which acts appropriately pumps out 55-70 % of the blood that fills the heart.
 12 steroid users were implicated in the study. It was manifested that the left ventricles of 83 % these steroid users acted incorrectly: they pumped out less than 55 % of the blood.   Among the examined non-users just one person experienced problems related to the function of the left ventricle.
The study displayed that ventricle relaxation among consumers of steroids was reduced by about half. It was 0, 93 among consumers of steroids; 1, 80 – among non-users. The structure of the left ventricle was similar in both groups: steroid users and non-users.
It was used the method “Doppler echocardiography” for examination of function and structure of the left ventricle. This technique uses ultrasound for creation of moving pictures of the heart and its blood flow.
 The group of steroid users included 12 weightlifters at the age of about 40 that claimed that they took approximately 675 mg of steroids a week for 9 years. Another group included weightlifters that didn’t apply steroids. Both groups had the same physical activity and the same risks linked with heart problems. But they had differences in body weight and muscle size. The consumers of steroids had more muscular physiques.
However small number of steroid users has been evaluated, the results have manifested that there is a close connection between administration of steroids and heart impairment.
The experts decided to conduct further researches in order to support the findings.
Baggish and his colleagues think that people will recognize that intake of steroids can cause heart troubles and different unexplained heart dysfunctions in young people.

It is required to do a lot of things in order to succeed in bodybuilding

Bodybuilding doesn’t belong to exciting sports. Any bodybuilder can support this statement. People that are involved in bodybuilding spend much time at gyms, training; they prepare appropriate food and make endless researches. What is this work done for? – Just for 30 seconds on stage. Of course, if bodybuilders achieve high results, they receive awards, praise, and admiration of others. Their photos are posted on covers of fit magazines. They become prominent.
Unfortunately, the most of bodybuilders never reach this level because it is needed a lot of work and money for this goal. 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 needed for success in bodybuilding, you may look at Jay Cutler and some other persons. You can also find out role of steroids for success in bodybuilding.
Jay Cutler is one of the most prominent bodybuilders in history. In addition to this fact, 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 much food.
It is interesting to notice that Cutler spends more time for consumption of meals than for trainings. He lifts for about two hours and gets cardio an hour a day. Cutler states that his day differs significantly from thoughts of people about it. Individuals that are not involved in bodybuilding believe that bodybuilders train 8 hours a day. They suggest that if they take steroids, they will look like professional bodybuilders.
Jay Cutler claims that steroids are not everything in bodybuilding but they play a significant role in it. He claims that if anybody wants to achieve obvious success in sports, he/she should take steroids. Ron Stevens, who is in the sport 15 years, supports the affirmation of Jay Cutler about steroids. He notes that it is impossible to compete without intake of these preparations. After several shows Ron Stevens made the decision to take steroids.
Stevens is as dedicated to bodybuilding as Jay Cutler. He consumes much food that could be enough for a family of five members.
The most of bodybuilders don’t have great supplement contracts. They don’t have enough money to support their efforts and receive titles of Mr. Olympia.
Actually, the most of dedicated bodybuilders have regular jobs and dream that they will achieve great success one day.
As for Jay Cutler, he had two jobs. He worked and spent each dollar he got for bodybuilding. Finally, he obtained great success. His each effort was paid off.
Thinking over Jay Cutler, any bodybuilder may be encouraged to hope that he will succeed greatly one day. Uncelebrated bodybuilders can dream at least.

However many sport organizations perform random drug testing, the UFC believes that it is impossible

The UFC President Dana White tries to defend UFC efforts against doping.  The UFC President confirms that the UFC struggles seriously to push prohibited drugs out of sports. He claims that they do more than any other sport organization for this goal.
Unluckily, affirmations of Dana White are pronounced just for public relations purposes. They are completely false. The UFC doesn’t do more than any other sport organization, fighting against intake of prohibited medicines.
Dana White supposes that it is impossible to perform random drug testing in the UFC. This person notes that they have 375 sportspersons under contract. He notes that it is impossible to perform random tests because these fighters live everywhere; they travel around the world. He finds it unreal to travel in various countries, looking for these 375 persons, in order to test them continually.
While Dana White wants to prove that it is impossible to test randomly 375 UFC sportspersons, other sport organizations do it with their athletes. They perform random testing with success.
It is not completely clear what happens actually. Does Dana White want to mislead media about administration of prohibited medications by the UFC athletes? Or is he ignorant completely, when it comes to the rules of the World Anti-Doping Agency?
The CEO of the US Anti-Doping Agency confirms 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 rules. Although the UFC confirms that they try to protect their sports from usage of banned medicines by the WADA Code, the reality indicates that it is not true. The UFC laws are miserable in comparison with those of the WADA. Try to comprehend it!

The MMAPrime.tv presented a speech about steroids that was pronounced by Santos Cyborg

Every fan of Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos and each fan of Ronda Rousey desired to hear an open respond of Santos to her positives for the anabolic steroid Winstrol. Lastly the female fighter Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos responded publicly. She pronounced a speech which was presented by MMAPrime.tv. The female fighter presented her speech in Portuguese.

The interest to the steroid case of Roger Clemens was renewed after the death of the journalist Mike Wallace

Mike Wallace, a prominent investigative reporter, who was one of the initial correspondents of CBS’ 60 Minutes died, when he was 93 years old. This reporter presented interesting interviews with world celebrated figures. The latest stories were related to the baseball star Roger Clemens and accusations linked with intake of anabolic steroids and HGH by this person. Mike Wallace’s last appearance on TV was connected with this case.
The interview with Roger Clemens about steroids was presented in January, 2008. Rusty Hardin, the defense attorney for Roger Clemens, arranged the appearing of this former baseball player in the Show 60 Minutes. Roger Clemens had to defense himself against accusations of his former personal coach Brian McNamee. This coach accused Roger Clemens in intake of anabolic steroids and HGH. He cooperated with Mitchell Report investigators, when they investigated the extent of steroid use in the Major League Baseball.
Wallace didn’t enforce Clemens to tell that he used steroids. He just convinced him to prove to others that he had used neither steroids, nor HGH. Roger Clemens affirmed that he would be able to pull a tractor with his teeth, if he had used steroids.
The interview of Clemens was a black public relations maneuver for Rusty Hardin. It was not the best interview. But it renewed the interest after death of Wallace.
Actually, Wallace hosted much more substantial interviews during his career. The steroid interview with Roger Clemens was not the most interesting. Why did it draw all people’s attention?
Other interviews of Wallace are quite significant. Wallace interviewed the lawyer of the president Richard Nixon and the assistant to the president for Domestic Affairs John Ehrlichman during the Watergate scandal. Wallace defined the Watergate scandal as “perjury”. He enumerated such methods of Richard Nixon, as thefts, spying, obstruction of justice, etc. The scandal caused resignation of the president Richard Nixon.
Wallace arranged also an interview with the Iranian leader Ayatollah Khomeini. Wallace called him a “lunatic”. But he was quoting the president Anwar el-Sadat of Egypt.
Another individual who was interviewed by Wallace was the Vice President of Research and Development at a tobacco company. Jeffrey Wigand admitted that executives of the company lied before the Congress about their knowledge linked with nature of nicotine.
Although these interviews were significant, many persons directed their attention to insignificant interview with Roger Clemens. It may be because while lying of Roger Clemens before the Congress can result in federal war on steroids, the war on nicotine will never take place.

Mustard can be useful for losing fat

Some late studies have defined certain benefits of mustard. Everybody knows that it is a good remedy which adds pleasant flavor to meal. Moreover, it has been determined that mustard may help to lose fat and improve physical appearance.
A research linked with mustard has been led by Debora Esposito and his colleagues at North Carolina University in Kannapolis (USA). It has been claimed under results of the research that a compound that is named “homobrassinolide” found in mustard and other related herbs has capacity to increase lean muscle mass and strength in mammals.
28-Homobrassinolide is a brassinosteroid. It is a type of steroid which is contained in plants which belong to Brassica family. It has been known that it is capable to induce growing plants. But nobody has been aware about its role in mammals. The experts have discovered that homobrassinolide is able to lead to anabolic effects in mammals. It induces increasing protein synthesis, stimulates appetite and enhances muscle mass through enhancement of number and size of muscle fibers in animals.
Healthy rats have been enrolled in the study. They have been given oral homobrassinolide during 24 days. Dual-emission x-ray absorptiometry analysis has been used in order to monitor changes in weight, food consumption and composition of rats’ bodies. It has been determined that animals that have been given homobrassinolide have acquired essentially more muscle mass than those that have not been given this compound.
Increase of muscle mass indicates about a higher basal metabolic rate. Enhanced BMR is associated with great caloric burning which helps to remain lean.
So, the research has clearly manifested that homobrassinolide enhances protein synthesis, enhances size and number of muscle fibers which play an essential role for enhancement of energy.
Specialists suggest that such plants, as mustard, may be used for more enhanced brassinosteroid content. It may help to have lean muscle mass, enhance it and prevent some health problems.
It is suggested that future supplement and medicine industry will elaborate products that will be efficacious in case of some illnesses related to muscle wasting. Such preparations may be applied as alternative drugs to synthetic steroids because the first ones will probably have minimal or no adverse effects.
Leaves of mustard have little calories. They are rich in antioxidants. Leaves of mustard have anti-inflammatory effects. Furthermore, they represent a brilliant source of iron, magnesium, fiber, selenium and phosphorous.
Mustard may be applied for preparing salads, curds and tempering. It would be useful to take at least one teaspoon of mustard with water or meal in order to get some benefits.

Arrest of Dr. Beltran

A steroid investigation by Mossos d’Esqudra and Spain’s Policia Nacional led to arrest of ten persons that were involved in a steroid ring. These persons supplied top amateur and professional sportspeople and even Olympic athletes with anabolic steroids, HGH, EPO, CERA and other related medicines.  The investigation was called “Operacion Skype”. The steroid ring was settled in Barcelona.
The investigation was initially related to the professional cyclist David Garcia Dapena who tested positive for EPO after the 2010 Vuelta a Espana. It was defined that David Garcia Dapena had enhanced hematocrit levels which indicated about administration of EPO.
Garcia didn’t deny application of the prohibited medicine. He collaborated with the police officers. The cyclist admitted that he had bought product with performance-enhancing effects from the physician Alberto Beltran Nino.
It was discovered that Beltran had been the leader of an organization focused on sophisticated doping. This organization supplied cyclists and other sportspeople with prohibited products. It was also determined that several athletes 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 who bought steroids and other banned preparations from this doping ring.
It was even earlier supposed that Beltran supplied athletes with steroids and other related drugs and taught them how to avoid being caught. He was arrested in Italy after he was caught driving his car which contained steroids and other related drugs.
The Portuguese professional cyclist Nuno Ribeiro accused the physician Beltran in injecting him with banned medicines after he tested positive for CERA in 2009.
The sprinter Jose Luis Blanco assisted in the steroid investigation which had been conducted against Beltran after this sportsperson tested positive for EPO at the 2012 Spanish Athletics Championships.
Beltran moved to Bahrain in 2009. Since that time the physician had no any direct contact with any sportsperson.
Nevertheless, the police suspect that he has set up a team of intermediaries in different countries. They have bought steroids and other related medications and supplied top sportspeople with them.
Beltran was detained in Madrid in March 2012 by police officials. He was caught having AICAR and TB-500.
However no any sportsperson has tested positive for these medications, it is supposed that some athletes have planned to utilize these products.

What is it necessary to know about AndroGel dosage for obtaining needed effects?
AndroGel dosage is directed by prescribers that take in consideration following conditions: testosterone levels of patients, responses of their systems to administration of this product, individual conditions and other products which are utilized by patients. It is commonly recommended to start with the AndroGel dosage of 5 mg/day. The measure is corrected during the treatment. If levels of testosterone are quite reduced, the quantity should be enhanced. If the levels are higher than the normal rate, the treatment with this remedy should be discontinued. The dose should be regulated just by specialists but not by patients.

Teenage sex workers in Bangladesh use the corticosteroid Oradexon in order to be in high demand

Young women in Bangladesh that are involved in prostitution administer steroids in order to get weight and bulk up. It has been reported by Reuters. The article’s headline has the following words: “dark steroid secret”. It is stated that prostitutes from Bangladesh use steroids in order to have better appearance. Of course, the first thoughts that come in mind in this case are connected with administration of anabolic steroids. But reading the article completely and more attentively, anyone may understand that it is spoken not about anabolic steroids but about corticosteroids.
One of corticosteroids that are available at pharmacies of Bangladesh is known under the trade name Oradexon. It is not required to have a prescription in order to buy this preparation. It costs circa 15 taka which equal to 0, 18 USD dollars. Another name of this product is Dexamethasone. It is an anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant medication which is recommended for cure of people who suffer different maladies. This product is over 25 times more powerful that the natural steroid hormone cortisol.
90 % of sex workers at the 15 legal houses of prostitution from Bangladesh take the corticosteroid Oradexon. 90 % equal to 900 young sex workers who use this drug continually. They use it by own choice or are enforced to do it. Thus, some of them are enforced to apply it. But others use this drug willingly because it is stated that corticosteroids have ability to increase strength and improve health.
It may seem to be ironically but prostitutes from Bangladesh  that utilize corticosteroids have the same purposes like those that encourage bodybuilders to apply anabolic steroids. Prostitutes take corticosteroids in order to improve physical appearance, add weight and enhance appetite.
It is claimed that Oradexon may give healthy appearance to consumers. It is appreciated by customers. A woman who is involved in prostitution in Bangladesh affirms that customers are looking for healthy girls. Since she needs money to pay her bills and loans, she should have 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, unwanted effects that can occur because of corticosteroids are much more serious than those which can be caused due to administration of anabolic steroids. Corticosteroids can affect immune system, cause osteoporosis and insulin resistance, stimulate appetite significantly, and increase weight and fat.
Specialists try to draw people’s attention to abuse of corticosteroids and possible negative consequences of them.

Important factors related to usage of AndroGel for bodybuilding!

Individuals that desire to promote enhancing muscle mass due to this drug are required to perform exercises that involve big muscles during application of this preparation. Bench presses, leg presses, squats and arm curls are required be performed. As for cardiovascular exercises, they should be avoided during administration of AndroGel for bodybuilding. It is important to have also proper diets, if you desire to acquire splendid effects. You meal should contain much protein and starchy carbohydrate.

What caused bans of D. J. Williams and Ryan McBean?

The National Football League sentenced to suspensions the linebacker D. J. Williams and defensive lineman Ryan McBean of the team Denver Broncos for violation of steroid policy. These football players were banned from six games. But they were not suspended for administration of steroids. They didn’t test positive for steroids or other prohibited medications. They were accused in providing “non-human” urine samples to the officer of drug testing.
D. J. William confirmed that he had never tested for any prohibited product during eight years of his career. The football player noticed that he was proud of his records. He mentioned that he was also proud of his manner in that he conducted himself, being an athlete.
Peter Schaffer, the defensive attorney for McBean, confirmed that the NFL had violated rights of the defensive lineman. He noticed that since McBean had never tested positive for any forbidden drug, the NFL didn’t have any right to suspend him.
Peter Schaffer noticed that he wanted to make it clear that neither D. J. Williams, nor Ryan McBean tested positive for banned medications.
A lawsuit was filed in Denver County Court against suspensions of these football players.
The players affirmed that the drug testing officer had violated certain rules related to the procedure of collecting urine samples.
Schaffer noticed that several similarities had been between his client and Ryan Braun. Braun won his appeal related to his suspension from 50 games for administration 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 various anti-doping agencies. The WADA also supported this drug testing officer. It was claimed 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 wrong doing his duty.
At the hearing the NFL administrators admitted that the drug testing officer violated the chain of custody for urine samples.
Nevertheless, the appeal on behalf of the football players was rejected.

Supplement industry often manufactures medicines, labeling them as dietary supplements

What may be called “a medication”? The FDA claims that a medicine represents a substance; it isn’t a supplement. It is utilized for diagnosis, cure, prevention of maladies, for appropriate influence on body’s functions. It is possible to make it clear that a medication is a medication which has nothing to do with politics and great money.
But you may come across certain confusion nowadays. A law that has been established in 1994 by Senators Orrin Hatch and Tom Harkin has caused the confusion between dietary supplements and drugs. So, mega-billion dollar supplements industry has induced causing the disorder in clear definitions. Users’ ignorance and some legislative affirmations with doubled sense have played essential role in creation of following wrong conception: anything which is sold is safe.
This wrong conception caused different serious situations. For example, more than a year ago 2 young soldiers of the U. S. Army died due to administration of so-called “supplements” Jack3d and OxyElite Pro. The case is still investigated. Actually, it has been determined 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 changed function of bodies, it is a medication. Although it is a forbidden substance utilized by sportspeople, it is purchasable at the Vitamin Shoppe or GNC.
Health stores sell preparations that are similar to that substance mentioned above. They are sold as dietary supplements but it is not true.
Another product is DHEA. It is a steroid which can be converted in users’ bodies into anabolic steroids or neurohormonal steroids. This factor influences on physiological functions of body. Is it a supplement really?
Another product which is sold as a dietary supplement is RockHard Weekend. It contains different substances. But does anyone know which compounds are contained in the bottle? May anyone assure that they are safe for intake?
One of people’s mistakes is that they meditate the following way: if any product is derived from plants, it is safe for intake. A lot of persons confirm that such supplements can’t affect body’s functions. It is wrong to believe this way. There are plants which are toxicant. It is not allowed to consume them.
Hemlock was the poison that caused Socrates’ death. It was derived from certain herb. Ricin which is considered to be one of the most toxicant compounds on the Earth is derived from a castor been roots. That’s why it is important to know what you use in order to avoid applying preparations that contain any poison, regardless they are from herbs or not.
Why are companies allowed to sell medicines as if they were supplements? 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 elaborate products which are labeled as supplements. But are they actually supplements? Certain medicines are purchasable, being marketed as dietary supplements. But it is wrong entirely. These preparations can be unsafe.
Does anyone believe that anabolic steroids and other related medicines can be marketed as supplements? Do they supplement or treat? A term was introduced in order to avoid utilizing medical terms. This term is “to support”. What does this verb mean? Isn’t it a wink to the term “to treat”?
The FDA intends to establish control over dietary supplements. There will be a requirement for all new supplements to be safe.
Pharmaceutical companies spend hundreds millions of dollars in order to define whether new medicines are safe. Some of them fail to be called “safe” due to severe undesirable reactions. But as for manufacturers of supplements, they don’t have these troubles because there do not have such requirements in supplement industry.
Supplement requirements are based on money and not on science. In fact, they should have the same regulations like those that are established for pharmaceutical companies.

This medicine is taken not just by sportspeople but also by common individuals who just want to look better. One of the most important properties is that   there is no any problem to store Anavar results. Benefits of this medication are seen as well, in case it is used for some therapeutic purposes.

Coaches play the greatest role in decision of athletes to use steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs

Brian McNamee confirms that trainers are the main individuals that promote intake of anabolic steroids. The convicted distributor of steroids affirms that trainers have the most essential influence on decisions of young athletes to apply prohibited products. Their influence is bigger than one of street dealers who offer forbidden medications for sales, trying to convince young sportspersons that they can succeed due to administration of these medications. Brian McNamee suggests that coaches and the society teach young sportspeople that they must win at any cost. This aspect pressures students that go info sports. It induces causing their decision to apply steroids and other related drugs.
Brian McNamee was invited to share his opinion at the Nassau Counselors Association’s conference. He had a speech  during a presentation which was called “Creating a Safe Environment for Our Student-Athletes”. He got an honorarium of 200 dollars. McNamee presented this sum of money to the Taylor Hooton Foundation.
McNamee is known better as a trainer that has injected Roger Clemens with anabolic steroids and HGH. It was reported that he stored all syringes and vials that were applied for injecting Clemens with steroids during about seven years. Brian McNamee supported accusations of federal prosecutors against Clemens.
The testimony of McNamee promoted publishing the Mitchell Report on steroids in the Major League Baseball. The Report was worth of 20 million dollars. It was published in December 2007. Statements of Brian McNamee and Kirk Radomski were the base for writing the report. They provided evidence connected with intake of steroids in professional baseball. These men were enforced to collaborate with investigators of the Mitchell Report. It was their agreement which was reached because of charges related to steroids.
The agreement also requires testimony of McNamee as a government witness in the trial of Roger Clemens. He didn’t have possibility to say details connected with the case of Roger Clemens during the Nassau Counselors Association. But the time will come, when he reports the story about Clemens.
However it was declared a mistrial in the 1st  trial related to the case of Roger Clemens, it was scheduled a new trial.

Shaquille O’Neal desires to fight against Jose Canseco in a ring of MM

It has been recently affirmed that Jose Canseco and Shaquille O’Neal have spoken about their possibility to fight against each other in a ring of mixed martial arts. The challenge was made by O’Neal last year but Jose Canseco didn’t take the challenge seriously. Just now Jose Canseco began to take him seriously.
Numerous people suppose that Jose Canseco needs money since he has been invited to play for the Triple-A Quintana Roo Tigres of the Mexican Baseball League.
Jose Canseco must submit to a steroid test before starting playing in this team. But as it is reported, he applies Testosterone Cypionate and HCG which are recommended by his health care provider for testosterone replacement therapy. Although he has justified medical needs for application of these medicines, he has to obtain certain specified documents to be allowed to play baseball professionally. While his fate related to playing professional baseball is not yet decided, he intends to fight against O’Neal in a ring.
O’Neal has said that he is ready to fight against Jose Canseco. He added that he had challenged Canseco long ago.
Shaquille O’Neal doesn’t trouble that Jose Canseco administers anabolic steroids. He possesses own secret methods and he hopes that he can neutralize effects of Jose Canseco that are caused by administration of Testosterone Cypionate.
It was scheduled that Jose Canseco would fight against the former player of the MLB Lenny Dykstra. When this guy played baseball professionally, he also took anabolic steroids.
Randall Lane confirms in his book “The Zeroes: My Misadventures in the Decade Wall Street Went Insane” that Lenny Dykstra has admitted that he administered anabolic steroids. Dykstra told Lane that Jose Canseco and he had caused steroid revolution in baseball.
Jeff Scott, a bodybuilder from Florida, claimed that he supplied Lenny Dykstra with drugs that enhance performance at sums of 20, 000 dollars. He also mentioned that he injected Dykstra with steroids many times.
But the fight between Dykstra and Jose Canseco never happened because Lenny Dykstra was accused in thefts, false financial statements and possession of illicit medications. Finally, he was imprisoned.
Shaquille O’Neal offered to fight against Jose Canseco instead of Dykstra. He asked Dana White, the president of UFC, to arrange a match with Jose Canseco. Jose Canseco accepted the challenge of O’Neil.

The BOA tries to justify itself, claiming that it has the best laws on steroids

The British Olympic Association tries to justify itself for the fact that it breaks laws of the World Anti-Doping Agency. According to rules of the WADA, punishment for application of anabolic steroids and other related substances have to be universal in the whole  world. The punishment that is indicated for a sportsperson who has used prohibited preparations for the first time is sentencing to suspension of 2 years.
But the British Olympic Association confirms that such penalty is not good enough. The BOA sentences steroid users for life-time suspensions from taking part in the Olympics. The WADA notes that this law 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 used forbidden preparations were suspended by the International Olympic Committee from participations in Olympics under the Osaka Rule.
Lord Moynihan said that the law of the BOA connected with life-time bans wouldn’t be cancel, if even the CAS would be in contradiction with it. The BOA claims that it has the best rules.
Moynihan supported affirmations written by the former British Olympic decathlete Daley Thompson that noticed that British laws related to usage of controlled substances were the best. He confirmed that they shouldn’t be overthrown by the rest part of the world.
Delay Thompson believes that cheaters have to be punished harshly. They should be banned for the whole life. According to his words, the BOA shouldn’t agree with the rule of the WADA to sentence cheaters just for 2-year suspensions. He believes that the Britain wants to have the highest sport standards. He notes that if the rest part of the world refuses 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 statements pronounced by Daley, noticing that steroid testing has been just on its early level of development, when he has won his gold medals in Olympics in Moscow and Los Angeles.
Travis Tygart, the CEO of the US Anti-Doping Agency, blames the BOA for its refusal to submit to the rules of the WADA. It seems to be strange that Travis Tygart who usually 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, anyone must follow them.
The British athletes Dwain Chambers and David Millar who have been earlier banned for intake of forbidden substances wait for the conclusions connected with this issue. They desire to know whether they will be allowed to compete at the 2012 London Olympics.

Do you desire to decide which version to administer: Testosterone Propionate vs Enanthate?
Numerous consumers of steroids, especially those that administer or intend to take testosterone, frequently ask the following question: “Which form is more proper for athletic needs: Testosterone Propionate vs Enanthate?” These esters possess different chemical structures that influence on differences that exist between these two testosterone esters. Knowing structures of these versions of testosterone it is possible answer on the following questions: “Which is less soluble: Testosterone Propionate vs Enanthate?” and “Which form has shorter half life?” Having larger number of carbons in the chain, Enanthate is less soluble in water and has longer half life than Propionate. These differences may help you to choose a form that is proper for you.

First thoughts of Patrick Arnold to manufacture steroids

Nobody from New Jersey wants to be implicated in a low-paying job that is linked with manufacture of chemicals that are used in shampoos and hair gels. Let remind what has happened in this state in 1994.
Patrick Arnold, a guy that was 24 years old, was alone in a room. He was mixing different specific thickeners in order to enhance viscosity of certain liquids. Patrick Arnold was doing this job a lot of time. So, he had enough time to meditate about his life, condemning it. This guy was unhappy that the job was bothering and nothing interesting happened. But there was no any other job.
However his future was before him, some months went away before he saw the way.
Patrick Arnold was a glowing weightlifter. But he has discontinued much time ago to put his efforts in order to pump up. Nonetheless, each day after his job he used to go to a gym where he had trainings and talked with other guys. Their discussions were often related to anabolic steroids. Arnold had specialized in chemistry at the University of New Haven. So,  the discussions related to steroids made him to meditate.
One day after this guy had mixed thickeners he went to the chemistry library and looked at molecular structures of the steroids that were presented in several fitness magazines. Anabolic steroids had been already proclaimed to be controlled drugs. But there was still enough information about these drugs.
Staring at molecular structures of steroids, Patrick Arnold was meditating why he was doing that low-paying job. He decided that it would be much more pleasant for him to try making steroids himself. He ordered several chemicals through the company. He needed to have them for production of steroids. No one knew what he intended to do.
At the beginning Arnold experienced several difficulties. He didn’t get success at once. For example, he desired to make a product that had to have a crystalline structure. But it turned out to be that he got liquid that was like sticky oil. He understood that it meant that potentially toxic impurities and substrates were not separated from the brew. Step by step he became more knowledgeable. Arnold started to utilize solvents in order to wash impurities and reagents away. He could make proper preparations. Their crystalline-like structures demonstrated that they had required level of purity.

Do you want to chose which version to apply: Testosterone Propionate vs Enanthate?
Many individuals, especially those that administer or want to utilize testosterone, often ask the following question: “Which version is more appropriate for athletic purposes: Testosterone Propionate vs Enanthate?” These forms have various molecular structures which influence on differences which are between these two forms of testosterone. Knowing structures of these versions of testosterone you can answer on the following questions: “Which is more soluble: Testosterone Propionate vs Enanthate?” and “Which version has shorter half life?” Having more carbons in the chain, Enanthate is less soluble in water and has longer length of action than Propionate. These differences can help you to choose a version that is suitable for you.
