Anabolic steroids were found at Garrett Reid’s room

Garrett Reid, a son of the coach Andy Reid, was found unconscious at his dormitory room. However Omar Elkhamra, the team doctor of the Philadelphia Eagles, put efforts to revive him, the efforts of the doctor were in vain. The county coroner said that this young person (29 years old) died of a heroin overdose.
Garrett Reid’s death was a serious tragedy for the family of Andy Reid. Furthermore, the case caused several troubles for the Philadelphia Eagles. The football players had to clear themselves from suspicions related to intake of steroids. Several anabolic steroids were found by police officers in the dormitory of Garret Reid. Furthermore, syringes and needles were found in his possession as well. The steroids were identified by police. It was revealed that Garrett Reid had Nandrolone Phenylpropionate, Boldenone Undecylenate, Testosterone Propionate and Trenbolone Acetate. Since these preparations were found at Garrett Reid’s dormitory room, some suspicions arose. It was noticed that the coach’s son probably provided these forbidden medications to members of the Philadelphia Eagles. So, Garrett Reid’s death turned out to be a trouble for the whole sport organization.
Some of steroids revealed at Garrett Reid’ dormitory room are fast-acting. These preparations are commonly liked by athletes that submit to drug testing. Since they are eliminated from the body in short period of time after usage, it is more difficult to catch those who have used these drugs. Thus, it is suspected that such drugs must have been used by players of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Although suspicions are pronounced, it has not been proven that Philadelphia Eagles dope. It was not reported yet whether steroids were found in the body of Garrett Reid.
The NFL spokesman assured that he would report when it will be clear whether steroids found in Garrett Reid’s room were linked to Philadelphia Eagles.

Doping by college athletes

A few college athletes are caught applying banned preparations. Does it mean that they don’t take doping products? Less than 1% of college football players have been caught violating anti-doping rules. They have tested positive for steroids and/or other performance-enhancing drugs. Such situation must convince anti-doping agencies that they win in the war on doping. But certain suspicions arise. It is believed that a lot of college football players administer steroids and/or other related medicines but they avoid detection successfully.
Why do such suspicions appear? Changes in appearance of college football players lead to controversial points of view. Thus, changes in body mass of more than 61,000 college football players were lately analyzed by the Associated Press. Results showed that numerous college football players enhanced their body mass in short period of time significantly. Over 20 pounds were obtained by more than 4,500 college football players during a year. Moreover, near 100 individuals enhanced the body weight by more than 80 pounds during a year. As you see, the gains were evident.
Certain specialists affirm that these aspects should not trouble anti-doping officials. They claim that anti-doping officials shouldn’t subject college football players to drug tests just because they have enhanced body mass obviously.
But other experts have another point of view. Although they agree that it is impossible to affirm that several football players have applied steroids and/or other related drugs, basing only on changes in body weight, they notice that the changes may be a factor that causes suspicions connected with intake of steroids. So, such persons that have enhanced body mass in short period of time should be subjected to steroid testing.
Some college athletes that increased body mass essentially in short period of time were asked about their changes. The sportspersons claimed that they had never administered any prohibited preparations. They assured that they achieved such amazing changes naturally. The college athletes noted that they had consumed much food for this need. Thus, they assured that such essential results were achieved by them with the help of appropriate nutrition. According to them, it was not difficult to gain many pounds in short period of time.

Remedies for re-growth of hair

Steroids are widely administered in medicine and in bodybuilding and sports. Many persons administer these products for improvement of their health. These medicines are prescribed to treat some illnesses. Moreover, many sportspeople and bodybuilders take anabolic steroids in order to increase muscle mass, get strength, restore exercise-damaged muscle tissues, etc. But some individuals are not ready to assume certain risks related to these drugs. It is known that steroids may cause certain undesirable reactions. One of negative effects of these medicines is hair loss. So, several persons try to avoid administration of anabolic steroids because they don’t want to suffer from this side result. Furthermore, some individuals are predisposed to this problem genetically. If they use certain steroids, they may face baldness.
Fortunately, several side consequences of steroids may be prevented or at least reduced and treated. As for hair loss, there are some remedies which can help to prevent this problem. There are also such products which have capacity to promote re-growth of hair. Those who have to use steroids may apply some remedies to prevent hair loss or cause re-growth of hair. Which preparations are useful for this purpose?
Since hair loss occurs because of increased levels of dihydrotestosterone, several persons administer Propecia which blocks dihydrotestosterone and prevents hair loss. But this is not the best product for prevention of hair loss while using steroids. Blocking of dihydrotestosterone by Propecia may cause sexual problems.
Rogaine, Retin-A and Lattisse are useful. Rogaine has got FDA’s approval 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 anabolic 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 affirmed by some experts that this drug may be administered for re-growth of hair successfully.

May correct administration of steroids cause serious kidney problems in healthy users?

Anabolic steroids are often blamed for various diseases of consumers. Undoubtedly, these products may cause some undesirable results. Nevertheless, anabolic steroids are often demonized without any reason. It is affirmed frequently by the media that these products cause different illnesses, crimes, deaths. But it is necessary to comprehend essence of these medicines and see when these drugs should not be demonized.
Let analyze 2 cases. One of the cases is connected with the former American bodybuilder Flex Wheeler. Another case is related to another former bodybuilder Luke Wood.
The former American bodybuilder Flex Wheeler experienced kidney dysfunctions. He submitted to a kidney transplant. Since he used steroids, the media chose to demonize these products for kidney dysfunctions of Flex Wheeler. Actually, Flex Wheeler had a hereditary kidney disease. Undoubtedly, application of anabolic steroids contributed to the complications. But did the bodybuilder take anabolic steroids properly? Did he follow reasonable guidelines connected with dosages and length of application? No, he didn’t. Flex Wheeler administered very increased measures of anabolic steroids. Moreover, he used these preparations prolonged period of time. In addition to these factors, the former American bodybuilder used also other preparations which had negative influence on his kidneys. Thus, steroids should not be demonized for Flex Wheeler’s disease.
As it has been already noted, another case is connected with the former bodybuilder Luke Wood. He died after a kidney transplant, being a young person. The media also chose to demonize steroids in this case. It was stated that anabolic steroids caused kidney dysfunctions in Luke Wood. But you should be informed that Luke Wood applied not only steroids. He applied also insulin, pain drugs, DNP and other preparations which influenced on the kidneys negatively. Thus, it is impossible to say that steroids were responsible for his kidney failure and death.
According to many experts, if steroids are taken properly, severe kidney disorders don’t occur.

Mark McGwire will never be in Baseball Hall of Fame

Mark McGwire, an American baseball player and coach acknowledged that he had administered steroids and HGH.
There are different opinions that are focused on the baseball player’s admission. According to numerous persons, Mark McGwire admitted to taking forbidden preparations because he wanted to come back to professional baseball.
Being interviewed, the American baseball player and coach affirmed lately that he made a mistake when he decided to take steroids. But he pointed out that he had applied anabolic steroids not for improvement of performance. The American professional baseball player and coach reported that he had applied anabolic steroids and HGH just for medical purposes.
It is interesting to notice that when Mark McGwire admitted to taking banned products, his fans and other persons were not surprised at all. Why were not they surprised? They knew about it. Some individuals claimed that Mark McGwire took steroids before he admitted. A FBI informant claimed that the American baseball player had purchased Testosterone Cypionate, Testosterone Enanthate, Equipose and Winstrol from the steroid dealer Curtis Wenzlaff and administered these preparations.
Another individual that reported about usage 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 that helped Mark McGwire to administer anabolic steroids. Jay, Mark’s brother, was the first individual that injected the baseball player with steroids.
Although Mark McGwire acknowledged that he had used steroids, he said nothing about affirmations provided by his brother, Jose Canseco and the FBI informant. He didn’t disclose whether these affirmations were true or not.
Mark McGwire claims that he comprehends that he will never be in the Baseball Hall of Fame. Moreover, the admitted steroid user says that he will never fight to be voted for the Hall of Fame. Mark McGwire has respect to all rules linked with baseball. He understands that those that have ever taken banned substances must not be elected for the Hall of Fame.

Contamination with fungal meningitis resulted from application of Methylprednisolone Acetate

Over 500 individuals were contaminated with fungal meningitis after they had administered Methylprednisolone injections produced by the New England Compounding Center (NECC). Over 30 persons died from this condition. No one must have doubted that the contamination was a great tragedy for some persons and their families. Nevertheless, anti-doping organizations tried to benefit from the case. What did they do? They started blaming anabolic steroids. It was affirmed by the media that anabolic steroids could cause the fatal condition fungal meningitis.
Lately the Bay County Sheriff’s Office conducted an investigation connected with illegal manufacture of anabolic steroids. It saw that anabolic steroids were manufactured 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 one takes anabolic steroids produced in unsterile conditions, he/she may be contaminated with fungal meningitis.
Actually, the Bay County Sheriff’s Office manifested own ignorance linked with anabolic steroids and risks connected with contamination with fungal meningitis. An individual may get fungal meningitis, if he/she applies medicines which are injected directly into the central nervous system. Methylprednisolone Acetate injections are applied into the central nervous system. That’s why these contaminated corticosteroids led to the fungal meningitis outbreak. As for anabolic steroids, they are not injected into the central nervous system. They are chiefly introduced into muscles. That’s why it is impossible to get contaminated with fungal meningitis while applying anabolic steroids. If you administer anabolic steroids that are manufactured in unsterile conditions, you may experience certain negative results. But you will never face fungal meningitis while applying anabolic steroids for therapeutic or even for athletic purposes.  
So, the fungal meningitis outbreak resulted from application of contaminated Methylprednisolone Acetate injections turned out to be just a condition to demonize anabolic steroids.  Notice, please: Methylprednisolone Acetate is not an anabolic steroid. It is a corticosteroid.

Tammy Thomas claims that God has plan linked with her life

Tammy Thomas, a former American cyclist, took 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 Olympics. So, she decided to administer performance-enhancing drugs in order to improve her performance and make her dreams connected with the Olympic Games real. But since she was caught using prohibited medicines, she was not allowed to compete at the Olympic Games.
Tammy Thomas 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 administration of anabolic steroids and purchase of THG. While she was accused of lying to the Grand Jury, she provided some arguments in order to defend herself against the accusations.
The cyclist claimed that she hadn’t used any forbidden medication. Actually, she didn’t lie. At that time THG was not enumerated on the list of banned drugs. It was claimed to be just an unapproved new preparation. THG was elaborated by the scientist Patrick Arnold.
While the BALCO foundation sold THG to numerous athletes, it was claimed that Tammy Thomas obtained this preparation from Patrick Arnold. But the American cyclist denied this statement. Ultimately, she said that Patrick Arnold’s former girlfriend supplied her with THG.
All arguments of Tammy Thomas were rejected. She was sentenced to a home detection of 6 months and probation of 5 years.
The American cyclist repented wholly. She admitted that she acted wrongly. Thus, she decided to change her life. Being a religious woman, Tammy Thomas believes that God has certain plan related to her life. She noticed that she would do everything in order to live so, as God wants. She established a fitness center and decided to help others to keep their health.

Mariusz Wach didn’t know what he used

It was reported by the German newspaper Bild that the polish boxer Mariusz Wach violated anti-doping policy. This sportsman tested positive for steroids. The drug testing was conducted before the fight between this athlete and the Ukrainian boxer Vladimir Klichko.
According to A-sample of Mariusz Wach, he took anabolic steroids. Results of his B-sample are not known yet.
It is interesting to notice that the German newspaper Bild reported about the steroid positive of Mariusz Wach before it was done by the German Boxing Federation. Mariusz Kolodziej, the promoter of the boxer Wach thinks that it shows that the German Boxing Federation doesn’t do its job appropriately. It lacks professionalism completely.
What did Mariusz Wach claim in order to defend himself? Actually, Mariusz Wach didn’t try to defend himself. He just said that he had never applied any anabolic steroids or other forbidden preparations intentionally. The athlete even noted that he didn’t know what he really administered. Mariusz Wach cared just about workouts and suitable diets. As for supplements, they were chosen and provided by his trainers. The polish boxer trusted his trainers entirely. Mariusz Wach didn’t even ask which supplements were applied 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 which were given by his trainers.
Mariusz Wach didn’t desire to accuse his trainers of his steroid positive. The boxer just revealed the reality.
So, it is possible to suppose that Mariusz Wach has administered a contaminated supplement. You know, it happens quite frequently that sportspersons administer dietary supplements that turn out to contain steroidal compounds. So, troubles begin.
If Mariusz Wach’s B-sample manifests that he has taken forbidden drugs, he will be probably banned for one year. He will be also sentenced to pay a fine.

Intake of steroids by those that are under 21 years old

You may come across a lot of articles about dangers connected with administration of steroids by 18-year old boys. It is often warned that those that are under 21 years old must not apply anabolic steroids for performance-enhancing effects. Steroid use 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. Certain experts say that 18-year old boys may administer anabolic steroids without any fear to face severe negative effects. Teenagers are encouraged by such statements. They think that if they administer steroids since the age of 18, they are likely to get obvious success in professional sports. Is it true? However it is allowed for boys since the age of 18 years old to apply anabolic steroids, it is better for them to avoid applying these medications. Why? There are several reasons that are written below:

1. Adolescents don’t become successful sportspeople with the help of steroids.
Teenagers know that a lot of professional sportsmen apply steroids. Teenagers see that these individuals are successful. Thus, they consider that athletes become successful with the help of anabolic steroids. But this is a wrong conclusion. Steroids are not mysterious products that can make any person a professional athlete.

2. Adolescents don’t possess sufficient knowledge about anabolic steroids.
Since adolescents don’t have knowledge about steroids, they take these preparations improperly. As a result, they don’t get wanted benefits; on the contrary, they may face grave negative effects.

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

USADA asks International Cycling Association to set up Truth and Reconciliation Commission

The USADA wants to learn whether you have ever applied steroids, EPO, HGH and/or other banned substances. This fact may surprise you but the anti-doping organization doesn’t intend yet to stop the investigation related to Lance Armstrong’s doping case. So, the investigation has not been ended. The USADA wants to investigate all cyclists. Especially suspected cyclists will be investigated.
The USADA desires to use the best ways in order to catch those that have ever taken banned substances. What is the best way to clean cycling of steroid use? The USADA tries to set and apply the best methods. This anti-doping organization is even ready to compare elimination of doping in cycling with that in South Africa.
The USADA claims that those who take anabolic steroids and other related substances should be punished. Users of anabolic steroids and/or other doping products are blamed as if they were criminals. They are often compared with those who commit violence and other serious crimes. Steroids are harshly blamed in the society. So, the USADA supposes that if steroids and steroid users are blamed, it will be easier to eradicate doping.
In fact, the USADA asks the International Cycling Association to create a Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The commission will investigate various cases connected with doping. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission will try to fix why certain cyclists have used steroids and/or other doping products but remained undetectable.
Moreover, the USADA promises that “amnesty” will be provided to those that admit to applying steroids and/or other prohibited medications, ask for forgiveness, repent and tell everything linked with doping to the anti-doping agency, team doctors, teammates, friends, etc. If a former steroid user says only truth, he will get the full amnesty. Thus, the USADA hopes to clean the sport of cycling entirely.
Travis Tygart, the CEO of the USADA, notes that there are certain cyclists connected with Lance Armstrong that have remained undetectable. They should be identified by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

Consumers of Adderall are less criticized than steroid users

The National Football League is not allowed to disclose details, when players fail drug tests. It is only affirmed that certain persons have been caught taking prohibited medicines. But the League must not disclose which substances have been taken by these athletes. So, some football players lie about drugs that have caused positives.
Why do several football players choose to lie about preparations that have been used by them? Let try to understand.
Numerous football players who fail drug tests claim that they have administered Adderall. In fact, they have administered steroids. Why do they claim that they have tested positive for Adderall? What does Adderall represent? This is a product which is applied to treat attention-deficit disorder. But this preparation is used not only for this therapeutic need. Sportspersons and bodybuilders administer this preparation for athletic goals.
As for anabolic steroids, they are harshly demonized. Numerous reporters, experts, anti-doping officials and ordinary individuals claim that these medications are very dangerous. They may lead to different severe undesirable consequences. Steroids are blamed even for certain crimes. But when it comes to Adderall, this medicine is not demonized in the society. Thus, a lot of football players try to prevent criticism. They don’t desire to be demonized for application of such banned medicines, as anabolic steroids. Since users of Adderall are not criticized harshly, football players claim that they have failed drug tests because they have taken Adderall.
A football player compared this situation with following cases: those who are detained with cocaine tell others that they have taken marijuana because cocaine is more harshly blamed than the last one.
You should not think that every football player that says that he has tested positive for Adderall has really administered steroids. But it is possible to conclude that those that administer Adderall are less blamed than those who administer steroids.

Strength and conditioning coaches are responsible for doping in boxing

Freddie Roach is a famous American trainer in boxing. He coaches the well-known boxer Manny Pacquiao. The trainer affirms that he knows the best method to eliminate the problem of steroid use in boxing. According to this coach, strength and conditioning coaches should be demonized for intake of steroids and other related substances in this sport. He claims that they educate boxers to use doping products. Thus, the trainer Freddie Roach thinks that it is needed to get rid of each strength and conditioning coach. It will lead to eradication of doping from boxing.
What does Freddie Roach believe about dramatic changes that have occurred in physique and performance of Juan Manuel Marquez. In fact, there are different points of view about this boxer and substantial changes in him. Numerous individuals believe that he has administered steroids that have caused these changes in him. As for Freddie Roach, he supposes that Angel Guillermo Memo Heredia has supplied Juan Manuel Marquez with anabolic steroids.
The trainer Memo Heredia is an admitted steroid dealer. He acknowledged that he had supplied many top athletes with anabolic steroids. Since he collaborated with federal prosecutors and disclosed names of some athletes that took anabolic steroids, he was not accused of any crimes related to distribution of steroids.
Thus, the trainer Freddie Roach claims that strength and conditioning coaches like Memo Heredia should be pushed from boxing. It is the best method to eliminate usage of anabolic steroids and other related products from boxing.
It is interesting to note 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 products? The trainer Freddie Roach thinks that the strength coach Alex Arizo doesn’t provide steroids to Manny Pacquiao.
Alex Arizo and Memo Heredia are friends. Thus, Alex Arizo puts efforts to defend his friend, claiming that Freddie Roach’s accusations are not true. Actually, Freddie Roach notes that he doesn’t like to pronounce any accusations connected with intake of steroids and other related remedies. But he has to do it because this is the nature of boxing.
While Alex Arizo affirms that Memo Heredia doesn’t provide steroids to Marquez, Freddie Roach has own point of view. He continues to believe that Marquez is tainted. According to Freddie Roach, dramatic physical transformations of this athlete display that he administers steroids and/or other doping products.

Are steroids 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 guy claims that his large biceps are natural. The bodybuilder claims that he has the largest biceps in the world because he has too strict diets and trainings. The bodybuilder eats chickens, almonds and fish each day. Moustafa Ismail also consumes much water and protein shakes.
However it is obvious that diets and trainings play great role, a lot of people doubt about natural arms of Moustafa Ismail. It is difficult to believe that suitable trainings and nutrition can lead to such enhancement in arms. Which factors are responsible for the massive arms of the Egyptian bodybuilder?
When it was announced that Moustafa Ismail’s arms were 32 inches, accusations linked with application of steroids appeared soon. Certain individuals suppose that steroids are responsible for the large arms of this person. What did the Egyptian bodybuilder say about application administration of anabolic steroids? He claimed that he had administered steroids while living in Egypt. Purchase and intake of these drugs are legal under laws of this country. These preparations are getable at any drug store in Egypt. Furthermore, anabolic steroids are cheap there. But Moustafa Ismail affirmed that he had to stop using these drugs, when he moved to the USA. It is know that purchase and application of these preparations without a prescription are claimed to be illicit under laws of the US. These products are bought on the black market by those that administer them in the US illegally. Thus, Moustafa Ismail discontinued taking these products after he moved to the USA.
But if even Moustafa Ismail applies steroids, it doesn’t matter because these medications don’t increase arms. They are not responsible for the bodybuilder’s large arms.
There are other remedies which can enhance arms. They are called “site enhancement oils” (SEO). Synthol is one of the most frequently taken SEO. This product is applied by bodybuilders. It is administered in order to enhance muscles in circumference. So, it is supposed that Moustafa Ismail applies Synthol. However, Moustafa Ismail claims that he doesn’t take this remedy.
Moustafa Ismail notes that he is hurt by accusations linked with anabolic steroids and Synthol. He has been subjected to examination conducted by an independent doctor that hasn’t found  any abnormality in the arms of this person. Thus, it is not clear whether the bodybuilder’s arms are natural or not.

Lance Armstrong didn’t induced doping in professional cycling

Although you probably never heard about Scott Mercier, his statements related to usage of performance-enhancing drugs in professional cyclist spread very quickly. This sportsperson belonged to the US Postal Cycling team prior to Lance Armstrong’s arrival. Some statements of Scott Mercier revealed the truth which was hidden in cycling.
In fact, 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 usage of banned substances throughout his cycling career. While it may be true, the USADA affirmed that Lance Armstrong induced doping in professional cycling. But these statements turned out to be wrong. Why? Which words were said by Scott Mercier?
Scott Mercier affirmed that their team doctor Pedro Celaya had a specific program for the US Postal Cycling team. The doctor discussed about the program with each cyclist. The doctor said that they had to ride 200-250 km each day. Furthermore, Pedro Celaya organized doping program which had to accompany trainings. So, he supplied US Postal Cycling team’s sportspersons with steroids, EPO and some other drugs.
These recommendations were offered by Pedro Celaya, when Lance Armstrong didn’t ride professionally. This sportsman experienced testicular cancer that time. There was no any doubt that this person would not be capable to ride professionally. His cancer spread throughout the body, including brain. After this man experienced chemotherapy he got recovery. So, Lance Armstrong didn’t have any relation to the team. He didn’t induce taking performance-enhancing drugs in professional cycling. It became evident that doping was established by Pedro Celaya before Lance Armstrong’s arrival.
During 1990s professional riders applied Andriol. Then they applied testosterone patches. Under indications of Pedro Celaya cyclists used the method of overdosing in order to avoid detection by anti-doping agencies.

Steroid use didn’t spoil Melky Cabrera’s reputation

Intake of anabolic steroids and certain other remedies is prohibited in many sports organizations, including the Major League Baseball (MLB). Sportspersons who are caught administering prohibited substances are sentenced to suspensions, fines, etc. Although athletes know about these conditions, many of them continue using steroids and/or other banned substances. As a result, certain sportspeople spoil their athletic reputation wholly. Nevertheless, certain sportspersons succeed, if even they are caught by anti-doping officers.
Let take the MLB player Melky Cabrera as an example. He played baseball for San Francisco Giants. Melky Cabrera was claimed to be one of the best baseball players. It was believed that he promoted winning obviously. But after he tested positive for a steroid, he was suspended.
Melky Cabrera put efforts to modify the decision and appealed it. He affirmed that a dietary supplement was responsible for his positive. Some individuals wanted to help him in that case. Thus, a fake website was formed. An advertisement for a contaminated supplement was posted. But the trick was unmasked. Melky Cabrera had to serve the ban.
While he served the ban, the San Francisco Giants saw that they could win without him.
Recently Melky Cabrera obtained a $16 million contract. Melky Cabrera will play for the Toronto Blue Jays.
 As you see, intake of steroids couldn’t destroy 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 which shows that application of banned medications doesn’t destroy athletic careers in certain situations.

Myogenix is punished for sale of steroids as dietary supplements

Dietary supplements companies frequently market synthetic steroids as nutrition supplements. So, they sell these illicit substances. They deceive the Drug Enforcement Administration and clients that buy such remedies. As a result, several sportspersons test positive for banned substances while they assure that they have never administered any steroid or another forbidden medication. Dietary supplements companies must be blamed for such conditions.
For example, Myogenix is a dietary supplement company that is in California. This company acknowledged that they sold a synthetic steroid that was labeled as a dietary supplement. It was named Spawn. The following substances composed it: 19-Norandrosta-4,9 diene-3,17 dione and 2a,3a-epithio-17a-methyletioallocholanol. Thus, the supplement Spawn contained 2 steroids but it was labeled as a dietary supplement.
The company Myogenix acknowledged that they had sold Spawn since 2007 till 2009. The company was sentenced to pay a $500.000 fine. Moreover, Myogenix forfeited $100.000 immediately.
According to the decision of the judge, products manufactured and sold by this company will be tested for 5 years by an independent organization. All new nutrition supplements should be controlled scrupulously and approved by the FDA before Myogenix may sell them.
Actually, the company Myogenix should thank the defense attorney Rick Collins who has defended the company. He defended the owners and other stuff of the company efficiently. Nobody went to prison. This lawyer was hired to defend also other companies that were linked to the website Bodybuilding.com. These companies also were sentenced just to fines and money forfeitures.
