Jordan Matechuk claimed that he experienced shame for his arrest due to possession of steroids

Jordan Matechuk, a player of the Canadian Football League, was busted by the US Customs and Border Patrol (CBP). He was caught possessing over 540 pills of oral steroids and more than 260 ml of injectable steroids, when he was driving to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats training camp. Jordan Matechuk said that his depression was responsible for the decision to get and administer anabolic steroids.
The football player noticed that he utilized anabolic steroids and marijuana in order to be able to escape from his depression. Jordan Matechuk noticed that earlier he had taken anti-depressant remedies. Stopping taking anti-depressant drugs probably led to intake of steroids.
Jordan Matechuk noticed that he experienced depression. He started to administer steroids and marijuana in order to feel better. He admitted that he was responsible for this condition. He wouldn’t have stopped using anti-depressant medications. But he stopped utilizing them. This factor resulted in steroid use.
Matechuk pleaded guilty to possession of steroids and marijuana.
However he faced up to 2 years in jail, he was sentenced to 90 years in prison. But he was released after he served just 60 days.
Jordan Matechuk reported that there were several other circumstances but he decided to keep them out of public knowledge.
The Canadian Football League gave him another chance to play professional football.
He wrote a letter and sent it to every member of the team. He expressed his shame for his arrest linked with possession and administration 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, he was happily accepted by this team.

Australian judge accepted bullying excuse and gave light sentence to bodybuilder that imported 3 kg of testosterone powder

Brenton Dowell, a bodybuilder from Australia, was caught possessing and illegally importing great amounts of anabolic steroids in March 2011. It was defined that these steroids could be sufficient to be administered for over sixty years by a person. Many individuals believed that this bodybuilder would be sentenced to imprisonment. But Dowell avoided imprisonment successfully.
The Australian Customs and Border Protection Service noted that the bodybuilder Brenton Dowell had tried to smuggle more than 3, 000 g of testosterone powder. The packages that contained the raw powder were mailed in September, October and November 2011. They were shipped to three various places: to the home of Dowell, to his father and his stepfather.
In fact, such large quantities of raw testosterone powder could be bought only for manufacture of anabolic steroids by underground labs for selling them on the black market. 3, 000 g of raw testosterone powder could be used 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 bought for his client’s personal usage. He added that Dowell’s administration of steroids was a response to bullying attacks which he received, when he was an overweight kid. So, according to Len Harnett, Brenton Dowell became addicted to bodybuilding and started to administer steroids because he was an overweight child.
The judge Graeme Hicks was influenced by affirmations of the defense attorney Len Harnett that described experiences of Dowell in his childhood. The judge Graeme Hicks mentioned that it could be concluded that Brenton Dowell had become obsessed by bodybuilding.
So, the judge accepted bullying excuse. Based on the descriptions and arguments of the defense attorney, the judge Graeme Hicks concluded that the bodybuilder Brenton Dowell had bought steroids personal intake 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.

Death of a teenage that used steroids may promote introduction of new legislation related to import of steroids in Britain

The pathologist Georgina Howarth affirmed that the death of Mohammed Belkhair, a 19-year teenager, had been caused by administration of anabolic steroids. She explained that anabolic steroids had led to heart failure which had resulted in the death.
According to the pathologist Howarth, if this young guy had not used steroids, he would have lived today. She claimed that intake of steroids was the only reason of the death. The pathologist added that the death of this guy was a lesson for each person to be far from such medicines.
Mohammed Belkhair’s sister found him vomiting in his bedroom on May, 2011. The guy admitted that he had utilized steroids. He died at the same day. It was reported that steroids had been found in his system.
According to numerous articles, DHEA and Tamoxifen were 2 steroids that were found in the system of the boy. DHEA is sold overall in Britain and in the USA.
But in fact, the news is misleading. Tamoxifen doesn’t belong to anabolic steroids. This medication has been initially introduced in order to treat persons who have breast cancer. It has become popular among sportspersons and bodybuilders that apply steroids due to its capacity to prevent aromatization of other preparations.
It seems to be strange but nothing was noticed about arrest of Mohammed Belkhair. This condition might contribute in the death. This teenager was arrested on the night before his death by police officials. 4 types of anabolic steroids were found in his room. But the names of the steroids were not mentioned.
Although the police encounter and arrest occurred several hours before the death of this boy, the doctor Georgina Howarth didn’t investigate these conditions. Moreover, she didn’t present any explanation about this aspect. Police officers reported nothing as well.
Since it was noted that Mohammed Belkhair had purchased steroids online, the news linked with risks of getting steroids online were spread in the country. So, it turned out to be convenient for changing the laws in order to make ordering of steroids per internet criminal in Britain. The British government intends to make personal import of steroids per mail and per internet illegal. It will be in near future. However it is said that these amendments will be enacted before the Olympics, they are not still enacted.

Any athlete that comes to London for the 2012 Olympics may have steroids in luggage

Officers of the British government will be not capable to stop sportspersons importing steroids to the UK, when they come to participate in the 2012 Summer Olympics. However usage of steroids is prohibited in sports, personal administration of these medicines is legal in the UK. Just distribution of steroids is considered to be criminal in this country. Thus, if anybody attempts to import quantity of anabolic steroids that is evidentially large, he/she will not be permitted to do it.
Before Olympic Games took place in Australia, Canada and China, governments of these countries changed 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 government of the UK refuses to make self-administration of steroids criminal, Britain athletes are banned for lifetime, if they administer anabolic steroids. As for the WADA Code, sportspeople who use banned medications are banned for 2 years.
Hugh Robertson, the Olympic minister, notices that it is necessary to have a universal policy linked with sentencing. He insists on at least 4 years or even longer.  While this minister is supported by the British Olympic Association, the UK Anti-Doping Agency doesn’t support such harsh punishment. The CEO of the UK Anti-Doping Agency Andi Parkinson states that some sanctions should be milder.
Hugh Robertson admits that there are various opinions in sports and it’s not well but he doesn’t ask the CEO of the UKAD to resign.
The spokesman for Hugh Robertson has noted that any sportsperson can have steroids in his/her luggage, when he/she arrives to London. But the amount of steroids should confirm that he/she has them only for self-administration. The spokesman has noted that it is not criminal for an athlete to take steroids under laws of the UK but if any athlete is caught using prohibited medications, he/she will be punished under anti-doping laws.
The UKAD noted that they would collaborate with border control officers. Information about athletes will be utilized by anti-doping officers.
5, 000 drug test, including 1, 000 blood tests will be conducted by the International Olympic Committee.

Dysfunctions of the left ventricle caused by steroid use

Prolonged intake of anabolic steroids can result in different heart disorders. It enhances dangers linked with heart failure. These statements have been noted in a study which has been presented in Circulation: Heart Failure, an American Heart Association journal.
Anabolic-androgenic steroids act like testosterone which occurs naturally and that is responsible for development of male sex characteristics.
The leader of the research Aaron L. Baggish states that in addition to the factor that anabolic steroids are illegal, they are associated with unwanted effects for health. He notices that it is the first time, when negative influence of prolonged usage of steroids on heart is clearly realized.
The study manifested that the left ventricle in steroid users was essentially weaker during contraction than in those that didn’t administer steroids.
A left ventricle that works appropriately pumps out 55-70 % of the blood which fills the heart.
 12 steroid users were enrolled in the research. It was displayed that the left ventricles of 83 % these steroid users worked improperly: they pumped out less than 55 % of the blood.   Among the examined non-users only one person suffered from problems connected with the function of the left ventricle.
The research displayed that ventricle relaxation among steroid users was lowered by circa half. It was 0, 93 among steroids users; 1, 80 – among non-steroid users. The structure of the left ventricle was similar in both groups: steroid users and non-users.
It was used the test “Doppler echocardiography” for evaluation 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 noted that they used about 675 mg of steroids a week for 9 years. The other group included weightlifters that didn’t use steroids. Both groups had the same physical activity and similar risks connected with heart troubles. But they had differences in body weight and muscle size. The users of steroids had more muscular physiques.
Although small number of steroid users has been included in the study, the results have displayed that there is a strong link between intake of steroids and heart impairment.
The scientists decided to conduct further studies in order to support the findings.
Baggish and his colleagues suppose that people will realize that intake of steroids can lead to heart problems and different unexplained heart disorders in young persons.

Efforts of Jay Cutler for success in bodybuilding are paid off

Bodybuilding doesn’t belong to glamorous sports. Any bodybuilder may support this affirmation. Persons who are involved in bodybuilding spend much time at gyms, training; they prepare proper meal and make continuous researches. What is this work done for? – Just for 30 seconds on stage. Undoubtedly, if bodybuilders achieve high results, they receive awards, praise, and admiration of others. Their pictures are posted on covers of fit magazines. They become famous.
Unfortunately, the most of bodybuilders never achieve this level because it is required a lot of work and money for this purpose. But any bodybuilder dreams about this level: to be a top bodybuilder, to receive money and other awards. If you have any interest to find out what is needed for success in bodybuilding, you can look at Jay Cutler and several other persons. You can also learn role of steroids for achievement of success in bodybuilding.
Jay Cutler is one of the most well-known bodybuilders in history. In addition to this fact, he has obtained Mr. Olympia titles 4 times. This person 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 a day. Chicken breasts are at the center of his much food.
It is interesting to mention that Jay Cutler spends more time for consumption of meals than for trainings. He lifts for about two hours and gets cardio an hour daily. Cutler claims that his day differs significantly from thoughts of people about it. Individuals that are not involved in bodybuilding think that bodybuilders train 8 hours per day. They suppose that if they use steroids, they will look like professional bodybuilders.
Jay Cutler notes that steroids are not everything in bodybuilding but they have a great role in it. He claims that if anybody desires to achieve great success in sports, he/she has to apply steroids. Ron Stevens, who is in the sport 15 years, supports the statement of Jay Cutler about steroids. He adds that it is not possible to compete without intake of these medicines. After several shows Ron Stevens made the decision to apply steroids.
Stevens is a dedicated bodybuilder as well. He eats much food which could be enough for a family of five members.
The most of bodybuilders haven’t obtained great supplement contracts. They don’t have sufficient money in order to support their efforts and get titles of Mr. Olympia.
In fact, the most of serious bodybuilders have regular jobs and hope that they will reach obvious success one day.
As for Jay Cutler, he had two jobs. He worked and spent every dollar he received for bodybuilding. Finally, he reached great success. His each effort was paid off.
Thinking over Jay Cutler, any bodybuilder may be encouraged to hope that he will succeed obviously one day. Infamous bodybuilders can dream at least.

Dana White confirms that the UFC does everything to push doping out of sports

The UFC President Dana White tries to defend UFC efforts against application of performance-enhancing drugs.  The UFC President confirms that the UFC struggles seriously to push banned drugs out of sports. He confirms that they do more than any other sport organization for this goal.
Unluckily, affirmations of the UFC President are claimed just for public relations purposes. They are completely false. The UFC doesn’t do more than any other sport organization, fighting against usage of banned preparations.
White supposes that it is impossible to perform random drug testing in the UFC. He notices that they have 375 fighters under contract. Dana White says that it is impossible to perform random tests because these sportspersons live everywhere; they travel around the world. Dana White finds it unreal to travel in various countries, looking for these 375 individuals, in order to test them continually.
While Dana White tries to prove that it is impossible to perform random drug testing of 375 UFC guys, other sport organizations do it with their athletes. They perform random testing successfully.
It isn’t wholly clear what happens really. Does Dana White desire to mislead public about application of performance-enhancing drugs by the UFC fighters? Or is he ignorant wholly, when it comes to the laws of the World Anti-Doping Agency?
The CEO of the US Anti-Doping Agency thinks that the UFC does everything in order to avoid following the laws of the WADA. They have own points of views and fight against the WADA Code. Although the UFC confirms that they try to protect their sports from administration of prohibited drugs by the WADA rules, the reality manifests that it is not true. The UFC rules are miserable in comparison with those of the WADA. Try to understand it!

Roger Clemens defended himself at the Show 60 Minutes

Mike Wallace, a well-known investigative reporter, who was one of the initial correspondents of CBS’ 60 Minutes died, when he was 93 years old. This journalist hosted capturing interviews with world celebrated figures. The latest stories were connected with the former professional baseball player Roger Clemens and accusations related to usage of anabolic steroids and HGH by this athlete. Mike Wallace’s last appearance on TV was related to 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 Brian McNamee, his former personal coach. This trainer accused Roger Clemens in application of anabolic steroids and HGH. He cooperated with Mitchell Report investigators, when they tried to find out the widespread of steroid use in the Major League Baseball.
Wallace didn’t enforce Clemens to tell that he administered steroids. He just convinced him to prove to others that he had applied neither steroids, nor HGH. Roger Clemens said that he would be able to pull a tractor with his teeth, if he had utilized steroids.
The interview of Clemens was a black public relations maneuver for his defense attorney. It was not the best interview. But it renewed the interest after Wallace’s death.
In fact, Wallace hosted much more interesting interviews during his career. The steroid interview with Roger Clemens was not the most interesting. Why did it draw each person’s attention?
Other interviews of Wallace are quite interesting. 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 named 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. The journalist identified him as a “lunatic”. However, 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, a lot of people directed their attention to insignificant interview with Roger Clemens. It may be because while lying of Roger Clemens before the Congress can cause federal struggle against steroids, the war on nicotine will never exist.

Mustard may improve physical appearance

Some recent researches have set certain benefits of mustard. Anyone knows that it is a good remedy that adds pleasant flavor to meal. Moreover, it has been discovered that mustard may help to lose fat and improve physical appearance.
A study related to mustard has been conducted by Debora Esposito and his colleagues at North Carolina University in Kannapolis (USA). It has been affirmed under results of the study that a compound which is called “homobrassinolide” found in mustard and other related herbs is capable to increase lean muscle mass and strength in mammals.
28-Homobrassinolide is a brassinosteroid. It is a type of steroid that is contained in plants which are included in Brassica family. It has been known that it has ability to induce growing plants. But nobody has been aware about its role in mammals. The experts have defined that homobrassinolide has ability to lead to anabolic effects in mammals. It induces enhancing protein synthesis, stimulates appetite and increases muscle mass through enhancement of number and size of muscle fibers in animals.
Healthy rats have been implicated in the study. They have been given oral homobrassinolide during 24 days. Dual-emission x-ray absorptiometry analysis has been used in order to check changes in weight, food consumption and composition of rats’ bodies. It has been observed that animals that have been given homobrassinolide have acquired significantly more muscle mass than those that have not received this compound.
Enhancement of muscle mass indicates about a higher basal metabolic rate. Increased BMR is associated with great caloric burning that helps to remain lean.
So, the research has clearly manifested that homobrassinolide enhances protein synthesis, increases size and number of muscle fibers which play an essential role for enhancement of strength.
Experts suggest that such plants, as mustard, may be used for higher brassinosteroid content. It can help to have lean muscle mass, increase it and prevent some diseases.
It is supposed that future supplement and medicine industry will elaborate preparations that will be efficient in case of certain maladies connected with muscle wasting. Such products may be used as alternative medicines to synthetic steroids because the first ones will probably cause minimal or no side effects.
Leaves of mustard have little calories. They are rich in antioxidants. Leaves of mustard cause anti-inflammatory effects. Furthermore, they represent an excellent 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 food in order to get certain benefits.

Dr. Beltran supplied top athletes with steroids and taught them how to avoid detection

A steroid investigation by Mossos d’Esqudra and Spain’s Policia Nacional led to arrest of ten individuals who were implicated in a steroid ring. These individuals supplied top amateur and professional sportspersons and even Olympic athletes with anabolic steroids, HGH, EPO, CERA and other related products.  The investigation was named “Operacion Skype”. The steroid ring was located in Barcelona.
The investigation was originally related to David Garcia Dapena, a professional cyclist, that tested positive for EPO after the 2010 Vuelta a Espana. It was affirmed that David Garcia Dapena had increased hematocrit levels that indicated about usage of EPO.
Garcia didn’t deny intake of the prohibited medication. He collaborated with the police officials. The cyclist acknowledged that he had bought drugs with performance-enhancing effects from the physician Alberto Beltran Nino.
It was discovered that Beltran had been the leader of an organization linked with sophisticated doping. This organization supplied cyclists and other sportspersons with prohibited medicines. It was also determined that certain athletes who took part in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the 2010 Vuelta a Espana, the 2009 Tour du Portugal and the 2012 Spanish Athletics Championships were included in the group of sportspersons who got steroids and other prohibited medications from this doping ring.
It was even earlier supposed that Beltran supplied sportspersons with steroids and other related medicines and taught them how to avoid being caught. He was arrested in Italy after he was caught driving his car which was full of steroids and other related substances.
Nuno Ribeiro, a Portuguese professional cyclist, accused the doctor Beltran in injecting him with banned preparations after he tested positive for CERA in 2009.
The sprinter Jose Luis Blanco assisted in the steroid investigation that had been conducted against Beltran after this athlete 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.
Nonetheless, the police suppose that he has established a team of intermediaries in various countries. They have bought steroids and other related medications and supplied top athletes with them.
Beltran was detained in Madrid in March 2012 by police. He was caught having AICAR and TB-500.
Although no any athlete has tested positive for these preparations, it is supposed that some sportspersons have planned to administer these preparations.

What is it important to know about AndroGel dosage to obtain wanted benefits?

It is commonly indicated to begin with the AndroGel dosage of 5 mg daily. The dosage is regulated during the treatment. If levels of testosterone are significantly reduced, the quantity must be increased. If the levels are more increased than the normal rate, the therapy with this medicine should be discontinued.

Prostitutes take steroids to bulk up

Young women in Bangladesh that are involved in prostitution apply steroids 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 confirmed that prostitutes from Bangladesh apply steroids to look better. Of course, the first thoughts that come in mind in this case are linked with application of anabolic steroids. But reading the article completely and more attentively, anybody can see that it is written not about anabolic steroids but about corticosteroids.
One of corticosteroids that are getable at pharmacies of Bangladesh is known under the trade name Oradexon. It is not required to have a prescription in order to purchase this preparation. Its price is approximately 15 taka which equal to 0, 18 USD dollars. Another name of this product is Dexamethasone. It is an anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant preparation that is prescribed for treatment of persons with various diseases. This remedy is over 25 times more powerful that the natural steroid hormone cortisol.
90 % of prostitutes at the 15 legal houses of prostitution from Bangladesh take the corticosteroid Oradexon. 90 % equal to 900 young prostitutes who apply this drug regularly. They take it willingly or are enforced to do it. Thus, some of them are enforced to use it. But others apply this remedy willingly because it is said that corticosteroids have capacity to enhance strength and improve health.
It seems to be ironically but prostitutes from Bangladesh  who administer corticosteroids have the same purposes like those which encourage bodybuilders to apply anabolic steroids. Prostitutes take corticosteroids in order to improve physical appearance, gain weight and enhance appetite.
It is affirmed that Oradexon can give healthy appearance to consumers. It is appreciated by customers. A lady who is involved in prostitution in Bangladesh notes that customers are looking for healthy ladies. Since she needs money in order to pay her bills and loans, she needs customers every day. If she doesn’t have any customer a day, she doesn’t have what to eat. Moreover, she tries to earn money for her son.
Actually, unwanted reactions which can occur due to corticosteroids are much more serious than those which may occur due to usage of anabolic steroids. Corticosteroids can suppress immune system, cause osteoporosis and insulin resistance, increase appetite unusually, and enhance weight and fat.
Experts try to draw people’s attention to abuse of corticosteroids and possible side reactions of them.

Important rules connected with administration of AndroGel for bodybuilding!
Besides usual instructions to this steroid, it is needed to obey some particular instructions, when it comes to usage of AndroGel for bodybuilding. Those who desire to stimulate increasing muscle mass due to this medication are required to do exercises which implicate large muscles during usage of this remedy.

It is required to have also appropriate diets, if you desire to obtain magnificent effects. Much protein and starchy carbohydrate should be contained in your meal.

Unusual cases related to violation of steroid policy by certain players of the NFL

The National Football League suspended D. J. Williams, a linebacker, and Ryan McBean, a defensive lineman, of the team Denver Broncos for violation of steroid policy. They were banned from six games. But they were not banned for application of steroids. They didn’t test positive for steroids or other forbidden medications. They were accused in providing “non-human” urine samples to the officer of drug testing.
D. J. William said in an interview that he had never tested for any prohibited substance during eight years of his career. He noticed that he was proud of his records. The football player mentioned that he was also proud of his manner in that he conducted himself, being an athlete.
Peter Schaffer, the defensive attorney for McBean, stated that the NFL had violated rights of this player. He mentioned that since McBean had never tested positive for any prohibited medicine, the NFL didn’t have any right to suspend him.
Peter Schaffer mentioned that he wanted to make it clear that neither D. J. Williams, nor Ryan McBean tested positive for prohibited medications.
A lawsuit was filed in Denver County Court against suspensions of these football players.
D. J. Williams and Ryan McBean affirmed that the drug testing officer had violated some rules connected with the procedure of collecting urine samples.
Schaffer noticed that several similarities had been between his client and Ryan Braun. Braun won his appeal connected with his suspension from 50 games for usage of testosterone. Ryan Braun could prove that the drug testing officer Dino Laurenzi violated steroid policy.
As for Laurenzi, he was defended and supported by different anti-doping agencies. The WADA also supported this drug testing officer. It was 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 acknowledged that the drug testing officer violated the chain of custody for urine samples.
Nevertheless, the appeal on behalf of the players was rejected.

Regulations in supplement industry

What can be called “a medicine”? The FDA affirms that a medication represents a substance; it is not a dietary supplement. It is applied for diagnosis, treatment, prevention of maladies, for appropriate influence on body’s functions. It is possible to mention that a medication is a medication which has nothing to do with politics and great money.
But there is certain confusion today. A law that has been established in 1994 by Senators Orrin Hatch and Tom Harkin has caused the confusion between dietary supplements and medications. So, mega-billion dollar supplements industry has promoted developing the disorder in clear definitions. Users’ ignorance and certain legislative affirmations with doubled sense have played great role in creation of following wrong conception: everything that is sold may be used without dangers.
This wrong conception led to various serious situations. For example, more than a year ago 2 young soldiers of the U. S. Army died as a result of usage of so-called “supplements” Jack3d and OxyElite Pro. The case is still investigated. Actually, it has been made clear that those soldiers had administered an amphetamine-like synthetic substance that has been called “dimethylamylamine”. It affected their cardiovascular and nervous systems. Since it has changed function of bodies, it is a drug. Although it is a prohibited compound applied by sportspeople, it is getable at the Vitamin Shoppe or GNC.
Health stores offer for sales preparations which are similar to that compound mentioned above. They are getable as dietary supplements but it is not true.
Another preparation is DHEA. It represents a steroid which may be transformed in users’ systems into anabolic steroids or neurohormonal steroids. This aspect influences on physiological functions of body. Is it a dietary supplement actually?
Another preparation which is labeled as a dietary supplement is RockHard Weekend. It contains various substances. But does anybody know which compounds are contained in the bottle? May anyone be sure that they are safe for usage?
One of people’s mistakes is that they think the following way: if any preparation is derived from plants, it is safe for application. A lot of persons believe that such supplements can’t affect body’s functions. It is wrong to think this way. There are plants which are toxicant. It is not allowed to consume them.
Hemlock was the poison that led to Socrates’ death. It was derived from certain herb. Ricin which is considered to be one of the most poisonous substances on the Earth is derived from a castor been roots. That’s why it is necessary to know what you apply in order to prevent taking substances that contain any poison, regardless they are from herbs or not.
Why are companies allowed to sell drugs as if they were supplements? Supplements don’t pass any FDA control. Here we may say about statements with doubled sense. The Hatch-Harken law allows the supplement industry to introduce products that are labeled as supplements. But are they really supplements? Some drugs are sold, being marketed as dietary supplements. But it is wrong entirely. These preparations can be unsafe.
Does anybody suggest that anabolic steroids and other related preparations can be marketed as dietary supplements? Do they supplement or treat? A term was elaborated 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 great amount of dollars in order to determine whether new drugs are safe. Some of them fail to be called “safe” due to severe side responses. But as for manufacturers of dietary supplements, they don’t have these troubles because there do not have such regulations in supplement industry.
Supplement regulations are related to money and not to science. In fact, they should have the same requirements like those which are established for pharmaceutical companies.

Coaches and our society in general press young athletes and promote their decisions to use steroids

Brian McNamee confirms that coaches are the principal individuals that induce administration of anabolic steroids. The convicted distributor of steroids notices that trainers have the most significant influence on decisions of young sportspersons to take prohibited products. Their influence is larger than one of street dealers that offer forbidden products for sales, trying to convince young sportspersons that they may have great success due to administration of these products. Brian McNamee suggests that trainers and the society teach young athletes that they must win at any cost. This factor pressures students that go info sports. It promotes causing their decision to administer 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 that was called “Creating a Safe Environment for Our Student-Athletes”. He received an honorarium of 200 dollars. McNamee presented this sum of money to the Taylor Hooton Foundation.
McNamee is known better as a trainer that has injected Roger Clemens with anabolic steroids and HGH. It was noticed that he stored all syringes and vials that were used for injecting Roger Clemens with steroids during approximately seven years. Brian McNamee supported accusations of federal prosecutors against Clemens.
The testimony of McNamee promoted publication of the Mitchell Report on steroids in the Major League Baseball. The Report was worth of 20 million dollars. It was published in December 2007. Testimonies of Brian McNamee and Kirk Radomski were the base for writing the report. They provided evidence linked with usage of steroids in professional baseball. These persons were enforced to collaborate with investigators of the Mitchell Report. It was their agreement which was reached due to charges connected with steroids.
The agreement also suggests that McNamee will testify as a government witness in the trial of Roger Clemens. He didn’t have possibility to pronounce details related to the case of Roger Clemens during the Nassau Counselors Association. But the time will come, when he tells the story about Clemens.
However it was declared a mistrial in the 1st  trial connected with the case of Roger Clemens, it was scheduled another trial.

While it is not yet clear whether Jose Canseco will play professional baseball, he is preparing for a match to fight against Shaquille O’Neal

It has been lately noted that Jose Canseco and Shaquille O’Neal have discussed their possibility to fight against each other in a match of mixed martial arts. O’Neal challenged him last year but Jose Canseco didn’t take him seriously. Only now Jose Canseco began to take him seriously.
Several people believe 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 should submit to a steroid test before starting playing in this team. But as it is stated, he applies Testosterone Cypionate and HCG that are recommended by his health care provider for testosterone replacement therapy. However he has justified therapeutic needs for intake of these medications, he has to obtain certain specific documents to be allowed to play professional baseball. While his fate linked with playing baseball professionally is not yet clear, he intends to fight against O’Neal in a match.
O’Neal has said that he is ready to fight against Jose Canseco. He mentioned that he had challenged Canseco long ago.
O’Neal doesn’t worry that Canseco administers anabolic steroids. He has own secret methods and he states that he is able to neutralize effects of Jose Canseco that are caused by usage of Testosterone Cypionate.
Jose Canseco was scheduled to fight against the former player of the MLB Lenny Dykstra. When this guy played professional baseball, he also took anabolic steroids.
Randall Lane notices in his book “The Zeroes: My Misadventures in the Decade Wall Street Went Insane” that Lenny Dykstra has acknowledged that he used anabolic steroids. Dykstra told Lane that Jose Canseco and he had caused steroid revolution in baseball.
Jeff Scott, a bodybuilder from Florida, reported that he supplied Dykstra with drugs that enhance performance at sums of 20, 000 dollars. He also mentioned that he injected Dykstra with steroids several times.
But the fight between Dykstra and Jose Canseco never happened because Lenny Dykstra was accused in thefts, false financial statements and possession of illegal drugs. Finally, he was imprisoned.
Shaquille O’Neal offered to fight against Jose Canseco instead of Dykstra. He asked the UFC’s president Dana White to arrange a ring with Jose Canseco. Jose Canseco accepted the challenge of Shaquille O’Neal.

The BOA claims that its laws are the best

The British Olympic Association put efforts to justify itself for the fact that it breaks rules of the World Anti-Doping Agency. According to laws of the WADA, punishment for application of anabolic steroids and other related drugs have to be the same around the  world. The punishment that is indicated for an athlete that has used banned preparations for the first time is sentencing to bans of 2 years.
But the British Olympic Association confirms that such punishment is not sufficient. The BOA sentences steroid users for life-time bans from taking part in the Olympics. The WADA claims that this law of the BOA contradicts the WADA Code which is unvarying.
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 that had taken forbidden drugs were suspended by the International Olympic Committee from taking part in Olympics under the Osaka Rule.
The chairman of the BOA said that the rule of the BOA linked with life-time suspensions wouldn’t be cancel, if even the CAS would not support it. The BOA believes that it has the best laws.
The chairman of the BOA supported affirmations written by the former British Olympic decathlete Daley Thompson that noticed that British laws connected with application of forbidden medications were the best. He claimed that they shouldn’t be overthrown by the rest part of the world.
Delay Thompson confirms that cheaters have to be punished strictly. They must be banned for the whole life. According to his point of view, the BOA shouldn’t agree with the law of the WADA to sentence dopers only for 2-year suspensions. He claims that the Britain desires to have the highest sport standards. He notices that if the rest part of the world doesn’t desire to have high standards, it doesn’t mean that Britain should follow their reduced levels.
David Howman, the director general of the WADA, criticizes affirmations proclaimed by Daley, noticing that steroid testing has been only on its early level of development, when he has won his gold medals in Olympics in Moscow and Los Angeles.
Travis Tygart, the CEO of the US Anti-Doping Agency, criticizes the BOA for its refusal to submit to the rules of the WADA. It seems to be strange that Travis Tygart that usually blames cheaters blames the BOA for the strict law.
The CEO of the US Anti-Doping Agency claims that since international rules have been once established and all have agreed to them, anyone should follow them.
The British athletes Dwain Chambers and David Millar who have been earlier banned for intake of forbidden substances wait for the decisions linked with this issue. They desire to know whether they will be allowed to take part in the 2012 London Olympics.
