Jordan Matechuk received second chance to play football professionally

The Canadian football player Jordan Matechuk was busted by the US Customs and Border Patrol (CBP). He was caught having over 540 pills of oral steroids and more than 260 ml of injectable steroids, when he was coming to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats training camp. Matechuck claimed that his depression was responsible for the decision to get and utilize anabolic steroids.
Matechuk noticed that he used anabolic steroids and marijuana in order to be capable to get rid of his depression. Matechuk said that earlier he had taken anti-depressant medicines. Stopping using anti-depressant medications probably resulted in usage of steroids.
Jordan Matechuk mentioned that he had depression. He started to take steroids and marijuana in order to feel better. Matechuk acknowledged that he was responsible for this condition. He wouldn’t have discontinued using  anti-depressant drugs. But he discontinued taking them. This condition led to steroid use.
Matechuk pleaded guilty to possession of steroids and marijuana.
However he faced up to 2-year imprisonment, he was sentenced to 90 years in jail. But Matechuk was released after he served only 60 days.
Jordan Matechuk confirmed that there were certain other conditions but he decided to keep them confidential.
The Canadian Football League gave him another possibility to play professional football.
He wrote a letter and sent it to each 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 want to receive the consumer of steroids back to the team.
But the Winnipeg Blue Bombers decided to provide him the second chance. So, he was happily accepted by this team.

However Australian bodybuilder imported large quantities of steroids, he avoided imprisonment successfully

Brenton Dowell, a bodybuilder from Australia, was caught possessing and importing great amounts of anabolic steroids in March 2011. It was defined that these steroids could be sufficient to be used for over 60 years by one consumer. Many individuals thought that this bodybuilder would be sentenced to imprisonment. But Brenton Dowell escaped from imprisonment successfully.
The Australian Customs and Border Protection Service noted that the bodybuilder Brenton Dowell had attempted to smuggle over 3 kg of testosterone powder. The packages that contained the raw powder were mailed in September, October and November 2011. They were directed to 3 various places: to the home of Dowell, to his father and his stepfather.
In fact, such large quantities of raw powder could be bought just for manufacture of anabolic steroids by underground labs in order to sell them on the black market. 3, 000 g of raw steroid powder could be used for getting of 1500 10-ml vials with ready products.
Len Hartnett, the defense attorney for Brenton Dowell, affirmed that the testosterone powder had been purchased for his client’s personal use. He added that Dowell’s use of steroids was caused by bullying attacks which he received, when he was an overweight kid. Thus, according to the defense attorney, Brenton Dowell became addicted to bodybuilding and began to take steroids because he was an overweight kid.
The judge Graeme Hicks was impressed by arguments of the defense attorney that described experiences of Dowell in his childhood. He noticed that it could be concluded that Dowell had become obsessed by bodybuilding.
Thus, the judge accepted bullying excuse. Based on the descriptions and affirmations of the defense attorney, the judge Graeme Hicks concluded that the bodybuilder Brenton Dowell had ordered steroids for self-administration and for sales to his friends in order to pay off personal intake.
The bodybuilder Brenton Dowell was sentenced to a fine of 10, 000 dollars and 2-year probation.

Pathologists don’t investigate everything carefully in order to determine causes of death

The pathologist Georgina Howarth affirmed that the death of Mohammed Belkhair, a 19-year boy, had been caused by usage of anabolic steroids. She noted that anabolic steroids had led to heart failure which had resulted in the death.
According to the doctor Howarth, if this boy had not administered steroids, he would have lived today. She affirmed that intake of steroids was the only reason of the death. The pathologist noted that the death of this boy was a lesson for every person to be far from such medicines.
Mohammed Belkhair’s sister found him vomiting in his bedroom on May, 2011. The teenager acknowledged that he had taken steroids. He died at the same day. It was reported that steroids had been found in his system.
According to many articles, DHEA and Tamoxifen were two steroids that were found in the system of the guy. 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 product has been originally elaborated to treat individuals that have breast cancer. It has become popular among sportspersons and bodybuilders that apply steroids due to its capacity to prevent aromatization of other medications.
It seems to be curiously but nothing was noted about arrest of Mohammed Belkhair. This condition might contribute in his death. This boy 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 teenager, the doctor Georgina Howarth didn’t investigate these factors. Moreover, she didn’t provide any explanation about this aspect. Police officers revealed nothing too.
Since it was announced that Mohammed Belkhair had bought steroids online, the news related to dangers of purchasing steroids via internet were spread in the country. Thus, it turned out to be convenient for changing the laws in order to make ordering of steroids online illegal in Britain. The British government desires 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.

Usage of steroids is not a crime in the UK

Officials of the UK will be not capable to stop sportspeople importing steroids to the UK, when they come to take part in the 2012 London Olympics. However application of steroids is prohibited in sports, personal administration of these drugs is legal in the UK. Just sale of steroids is claimed to be illegal in this country. So, if a person attempts to import amount of anabolic steroids which is evidentially large, he/she will not be allowed to do it.
Before Olympics took place in Australia, Canada and China, governments of these countries changed legislation linked with import and usage of steroids at least temporally. But the British government refuses to modify steroid legislation for the 2012 Olympic Games.
Ironically, however the government of the UK refuses to make personal usage of steroids illicit, Britain sportspeople are banned for lifetime, if they apply anabolic steroids. As for the WADA Code, sportspeople that take forbidden preparations are banned for 2 years.
The Olympic minister Hugh Robertson confirms that it is needed to have a universal law linked with sentencing. This minister insists on at least 4 years or even longer.  Although he is supported by the British Olympic Association, the UK Anti-Doping Agency doesn’t support such harsh sanction. The CEO of the UK Anti-Doping Agency Andi Parkinson thinks that some sanctions must be milder.
Hugh Robertson admits that there are different points of view in sports and it’s not well but he doesn’t ask the CEO of the UKAD to resign.
The spokesman for the minister has claimed that any sportsperson can have steroids in his/her luggage, when he/she arrives to London. But the quantity of steroids must demonstrate that he/she has them just for self-administration. The spokesman has noted that it is not criminal for an athlete to apply steroids under laws of the UK but if any athlete is caught administering forbidden preparations, he/she will be punished under anti-doping laws.
The UKAD stated that they would collaborate with border control officials. Information about sportspersons will be utilized by anti-doping officers.
5, 000 drug tests will be conducted by the International Olympic Committee. 1, 000 of these tests will be blood tests.

Scientists think that people will start to realize that usage of steroid may lead to heart disorders

Prolonged intake of anabolic steroids may cause various heart dysfunctions. It enhances risks connected with heart failure. These statements have been made due to a study that has been written in Circulation: Heart Failure, an American Heart Association journal.
Anabolic-androgenic steroids act like the hormone testosterone which occurs naturally and which is responsible for development of male sex features.
The leader of the study Aaron L. Baggish states that in addition to the fact that anabolic steroids are illicit, they are linked with negative results for health. He notices that it is the first time, when negative influence of prolonged intake of steroids on heart is clearly realized.
The study demonstrated that the left ventricle in users of steroids was significantly weaker during contraction than in those who didn’t use steroids.
A left ventricle that acts correctly pumps out 55-70 % of the blood that fills the heart.
 12 steroid users were enrolled in the research. It was shown that the left ventricles of 83 % these steroid users acted inappropriately: they pumped out less than 55 % of the blood.   Among the examined non-users only one person suffered from troubles linked with the function of the left ventricle.
The study demonstrated that ventricle relaxation among steroid users was reduced by circa half. It was 0, 93 among consumers of steroids; 1, 80 – among non-users. The structure of the left ventricle was the same in both groups: users of steroids and non-users.
It was applied the technique “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 said that they used about 675 mg of steroids a week for 9 years. Another group included weightlifters that didn’t administer steroids. Both groups had similar physical activity and similar risks related to heart troubles. But they had differences in body mass and muscle size. The consumers of steroids had more muscular appearance.
Although small number of steroid users has been included in the research, the results have displayed that there is a strong link between administration of steroids and heart impairment.
The scientists decided to conduct further researches in order to support the results of this study.
Baggish and his colleagues suppose that people will recognize that intake of steroids can results in heart troubles and various unexplained heart disorders in young persons.

Efforts of bodybuilders are paid off, if they get great results

Bodybuilding doesn’t belong to exciting 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 endless researches. What is this work done for? – Just for 30 seconds on stage. Undoubtedly, if bodybuilders achieve high results, they obtain awards, praise, and admiration of others. Their pictures are posted on covers of fit magazines. They become prominent.
Unfortunately, the most of bodybuilders never achieve this level because it is needed a lot of work and money for this purpose. But any bodybuilder hopes to reach this level: to be a top bodybuilder, to get money and other awards. If you have any interest to find out what is required for success in bodybuilding, you can look at Jay Cutler and certain other individuals. You can also learn role of steroids for 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 notes 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 Cutler spends more time for consumption of meals than for trainings. He lifts for about 2 hours and gets cardio an hour per day. Cutler confirms that his day differs substantially from thoughts of people about it. Persons who are not involved in bodybuilding believe that bodybuilders train 8 hours daily. They suggest that if they take steroids, they will look like professional bodybuilders.
Jay Cutler notices that steroids are not everything in bodybuilding but they play a great role in it. He confirms that if anybody desires to reach evident success in sports, he/she should apply 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 application of these products. After some shows Ron Stevens made the decision to administer steroids.
Stevens is as dedicated to bodybuilding as Jay Cutler. 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.
Actually, the most of serious bodybuilders have regular jobs and hope that they will achieve great success one day.
As for Jay Cutler, he had two jobs. This bodybuilder worked and spent every dollar he got for bodybuilding. Finally, he reached great success. His each effort was paid off.
Thinking over Jay Cutler, any bodybuilder can be encouraged in hopes that he will succeed greatly one day. Uncelebrated bodybuilders can dream at least.

The UFC President affirms that it is impossible to test randomly 375 guys that travel around the world

Dana White, the UFC President, tries to defend UFC efforts against usage of banned medicines.  Dana White claims that the UFC struggles seriously to push forbidden medicines out of sports. He affirms that they do more than any other sport organization for this goal.
Unfortunately, affirmations of the UFC President are presented only for public relations purposes. They are totally false. The UFC doesn’t do more than any other sport organization, struggling against application of banned medications.
Dana White claims that it is not possible to perform random drug testing in the UFC. This person notes that they have 375 athletes under contract. Dana White notices that it is impossible to perform random tests because these athletes live everywhere; they travel around the world. He finds it unreal to travel in different countries, looking for these 375 individuals, in order to test them continually.
While The UFC President tries to convince others that it is impossible to perform random drug testing of 375 UFC fighters, other sport organizations do it with their athletes. They perform random testing successfully.
It is not wholly clear what happens actually. Does Dana White try to mislead media about intake of performance-enhancing drugs by the UFC fighters? Or is he ignorant totally, when it comes to the rules of the World Anti-Doping Agency?
The Chief Executive Officer of the US Anti-Doping Agency claims that the UFC does everything in order to avoid agreement with the rules of the WADA. They have own rules and fight against the WADA Code. Although the UFC claims that they try to protect their sports from usage of banned medications by the WADA rules, the reality demonstrates that it is not true. The UFC rules are miserable in comparison with those of the WADA. Try to comprehend it!

Mike Wallace’s last appearance in the Show 60 Minutes was linked with steroid case of Roger Clemens

Mike Wallace, a celebrated investigative journalist, who was one of the original correspondents of CBS’ 60 Minutes died, when he was 93 years old. This correspondent made capturing interviews with world famous persons. The most recent stories were linked with the baseball star Roger Clemens and accusations linked with intake of anabolic steroids and HGH by this sportsperson. Mike Wallace’s last appearance on TV was related to this case.
The interview with Roger Clemens about steroids was broadcast in January, 2008. Rusty Hardin, the defense attorney for Roger Clemens, arranged the appearing of this former baseball player in the Show 60 Minutes. Roger Clemens had to defense himself against accusations of Brian McNamee, his former personal coach. This person accused Roger Clemens in application of anabolic steroids and HGH. He cooperated with investigators of Mitchell Report, when they tried to find out the widespread of steroid use in the Major League Baseball.
Wallace didn’t enforce Clemens to tell that he administered steroids. He just encouraged him to prove to others that he had administered neither steroids, nor HGH. Clemens confirmed that he would pull a tractor with his teeth, if he had taken steroids.
The interview of Clemens was a calamitous public relations ploy for his defense attorney. It was not a perceptive interview. But it renewed the interest after Wallace’s death.
In fact, 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 made an interview with the lawyer of the president Richard Nixon and the assistant to the president for Domestic Affairs John Ehrlichman during the Watergate scandal. Wallace defined the Watergate scandal as “perjury”. He mentioned such methods of Richard Nixon, as thefts, spying, obstruction of justice, etc. The scandal caused resignation of the president.
The Iranian leader Ayatollah Khomeini was also interviewed by Wallace. The reporter named him a “lunatic”. But he was quoting the president Anwar el-Sadat of Egypt.
Another person that was interviewed by Wallace was the Vice President of Research and Development at a tobacco company. Jeffrey Wigand noted during the interview that executives of the company lied before the Congress about their knowledge about nature of nicotine.
However these interviews were significant, a lot of persons directed their attention to insignificant interview with the former baseball player Roger Clemens. It may be because while lying of Roger Clemens before the Congress may cause federal struggle against steroids, the war on nicotine will never take place.

Mustard stimulates appetite, reduces fat and increases muscle mass in mammals

Certain recent studies have defined some benefits of mustard. Anybody knows that it is an excellent remedy which adds pleasant flavor to food. Moreover, it has been set up that mustard may help to lose fat and improve physical appearance.
A research related to mustard has been led by Debora Esposito and his colleagues at North Carolina University in Kannapolis (USA). It has been confirmed under results of the study that a compound that is named “homobrassinolide” found in mustard and other related herbs may increase lean muscle mass and endurance in mammals.
28-Homobrassinolide is a brassinosteroid. It is a type of steroid which has been found in plants which belong to Brassica family. It has been known that it is able to induce growing plants. But nobody has been aware about its role in mammals. The experts have determined that homobrassinolide has ability to lead to anabolic effects in mammals. It induces enhancing protein synthesis, stimulates appetite and increases muscle mass through increase of number and size of muscle fibers in animals.
Healthy rats have been involved in the study. They have been given oral homobrassinolide during 24 days. Dual-emission x-ray absorptiometry analysis has been applied in order to monitor changes in weight, food consumption and composition of rats’ bodies. It has been defined that animals that have been given homobrassinolide have acquired essentially more muscle mass than those that have not been given 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.
Thus, the research has clearly displayed that homobrassinolide enhances protein synthesis, increases size and number of muscle fibers which play a great role for increase of strength.
Specialists think that such plants, as mustard, can be applied 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 diseases linked with muscle wasting. Such preparations may be used as alternative medications to synthetic steroids because the first ones will probably cause minimal or no adverse effects.
Leaves of mustard have little calories. They are rich in antioxidants. Leaves of mustard have anti-inflammatory properties. Furthermore, they represent a good source of iron, magnesium, fiber, selenium and phosphorous.
Mustard may be applied for preparing salads, curds and tempering. It would be useful to consume at least one teaspoon of mustard with water or meal in order to acquire some benefits.

Dr. Beltran was detained, when he was driving his car which was full with steroids

A steroid investigation by Mossos d’Esqudra and Spain’s Policia Nacional led to arrest of ten individuals who were involved in a steroid chain. These individuals provided top amateur and professional sportspersons and even Olympic athletes with anabolic steroids, HGH, EPO, CERA and other related medicines.  The investigation was named “Operacion Skype”. The steroid ring was located in Barcelona.
The investigation was initially connected with David Garcia Dapena, a professional cyclist, who tested positive for EPO after the 2010 Vuelta a Espana. It was confirmed that the cyclist had high hematocrit levels that indicated about usage of EPO.
Garcia didn’t deny application of the forbidden medication. He collaborated with the police officers. David Garcia admitted that he had purchased medications with performance-enhancing effects from the physician Alberto Beltran Nino.
It was defined that Beltran had been the leader of an organization related to sophisticated doping. This organization supplied cyclists and other sportspeople with prohibited products. It was also defined that several sportspeople that participated 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 sportspeople who purchased steroids and other controlled substances from this doping organization.
It was even earlier suspected that Beltran supplied athletes with steroids and other related medicines and taught them how to avoid detection. This doctor was arrested in Italy after he was caught driving his car which was full of steroids and other doping medicines.
Nuno Ribeiro, a Portuguese professional cyclist, accused the physician Beltran in injecting him with forbidden drugs after he tested positive for CERA in 2009.
Jose Luis Blanco, a sprinter, assisted in the steroid investigation that had been led against Beltran after this sportsman tested positive for EPO at the 2012 Spanish Athletics Championships.
Beltran moved to Bahrain in 2009. Since that time the doctor had no any direct contact with any athlete.
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 sportspersons with them.
Beltran was detained in Madrid in March 2012 by police officers. He was caught having AICAR and TB-500.
While no any sportsperson has tested positive for these medications, it is believed that several sportspersons have planned to apply these medications.

High popularity of the corticosteroid Oradexon among young sex workers in Bangladesh

Young women in Bangladesh that are involved in prostitution apply steroids in order to get weight and bulk up. It has been written by Reuters. The article’s headline has the following words: “dark steroid secret”. It is noticed that prostitutes from Bangladesh administer steroids in order to look better. Of course, the first thoughts that come in mind in this situation are related to intake of anabolic steroids. But reading the article completely and more attentively, anyone may comprehend 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 needed to have a prescription in order to purchase this drug. Its price is approximately 15 taka that equal to 0, 18 USD dollars. An alternative name of this medication is Dexamethasone. This is an anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant drug which is indicated for cure of patients that have various diseases. This medication 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 administer the corticosteroid Oradexon. 90 % equal to 900 young prostitutes who apply this remedy regularly. They apply it by own choice or are enforced to do it. So, some of them are enforced to use it. But others apply this product willingly because it is stated that corticosteroids are capable to add strength and improve health.
It may seem to be ironically but sex workers from Bangladesh  who use corticosteroids have the same goals like those that encourage bodybuilders to take anabolic steroids. Prostitutes utilize corticosteroids in order to improve physical appearance, gain weight and stimulate appetite.
It is claimed that Oradexon may give healthy appearance to consumers. It is appreciated by customers. A lady that is involved in prostitution in Bangladesh claims that customers are seeking healthy ladies. Since she needs money to pay her bills and loans, she should have 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, side consequences which may be provoked because of corticosteroids are much more dangerous than those which may be caused due to application of anabolic steroids. Corticosteroids can affect immune system, lead to osteoporosis and insulin resistance, enhance appetite unusually, and enhance weight and fat.
Experts try to draw people’s attention to abuse of corticosteroids and potential unwanted effects of them.

Although certain football players didn’t test positive for banned drugs, they were banned for violation of steroid policy

The National Football League banned the linebacker D. J. Williams and defensive lineman Ryan McBean of the team Denver Broncos for violation of steroid policy. These players were banned from 6 games. But they were not suspended for usage of steroids. They didn’t test positive for steroids or other prohibited medications. They were accused in providing “non-human” urine samples to the officer of drug testing.
D. J. William said that he had never tested for any banned drug during eight years of his career. The linebacker noticed that he was proud of his records. The football player noticed that he was also proud of his manner in that he conducted himself, being a sportsperson.
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 medication, the NFL didn’t have any right to sentence him to suspension.
Peter Schaffer noted that he desired to make it clear that neither D. J. Williams, nor Ryan McBean tested positive for banned products.
A lawsuit was filed in Denver County Court against suspensions of these football players.
The players confirmed that the drug testing officer had violated some rules connected with the procedure of collecting urine samples.
Schaffer noticed that certain similarities had been between his client and Ryan Braun. Braun won his appeal linked 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 various anti-doping agencies. The WADA also supported Dino Laurenzi. 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, he was treated in another way. He was fired by the NFL for improper doing his duty.
At the hearing the NFL administrators admitted that the drug testing officer violated the rules linked with collection of urine samples.
Nonetheless, the appeal on behalf of the football players was rejected.

Why are some dietary supplements unsafe?

What can be called “a medication”? The FDA affirms that a drug is a substance; it is not a dietary supplement. It is administered for diagnosis, treatment, prevention of diseases, for proper influence on body’s functions. It is possible to note that a drug is a drug that has nothing common with politics and great money.
But you may come across certain ambiguity today. A law that has been established in 1994 by Senators Orrin Hatch and Tom Harkin has led to the confusion between dietary supplements and medications. Thus, mega-billion dollar supplements industry has induced causing the disorder in clear definitions. Users’ ignorance and certain legislative expressions with doubled sense have played essential role in creation of following conception: anything that is sold is safe.
This incorrect conception caused different serious troubles. For example, over a year ago 2 young soldiers of the U. S. Army died as a result of application of so-called “dietary supplements” Jack3d and OxyElite Pro. The case is still investigated. In fact, it has been determined that those soldiers had administered an amphetamine-like synthetic substance that has been called “dimethylamylamine”. It had negative influence on their cardiovascular and nervous systems. Since it has altered function of bodies, it is a drug. However it is a forbidden substance administered by athletes, it is available at the Vitamin Shoppe or GNC.
Health stores offer for sales preparations that are similar to that compound mentioned above. They are getable as dietary supplements but it is not true.
Another example is DHEA. It is a steroid which can be converted in consumers’ systems into anabolic steroids or neurohormonal steroids. This factor influences on physiological functions of body. Is it a supplement actually?
Another preparation that is purchasable as a dietary supplement is RockHard Weekend. It contains various substances. But does anyone know which compounds are contained in the bottle? May anyone be sure that they are safe for administartion?
One of people’s mistakes is that they think the following way: if any product is derived from plants, it is safe for application. Numerous persons believe that such supplements can’t have negative influence on body’s functions. It is wrong to think this way. There are plants that are poisonous. It is forbidden to consume them.
Hemlock was the poison which led to Socrates’ death. It was derived from certain herb. Ricin that is claimed to be one of the most poisonous compounds on the Earth is derived from a castor been roots. That’s why it is necessary to know what you consume in order to prevent applying preparations which contain any poison, regardless they are from herbs or not.
Why are companies allowed to sell drugs as if they were dietary supplemenets? Supplements don’t pass any FDA control. Here we can say about affirmations with doubled sense. The Hatch-Harken law allows the supplement industry to introduce substances which are labeled as supplements. But are they actually supplements? Several medicines are sold, being labeled as dietary supplements. But it is wrong entirely. These products may be unsafe.
Does anybody suggest that anabolic steroids and other related medications can be labeled as dietary supplements? Do they supplement or treat? A term was elaborated in order to prevent 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 plans to establish control over supplements. There will be a requirement for all new supplements to be safe.
Pharmaceutical companies spend great amount of dollars in order to define whether new medicines are safe. Some of them fail to be called “safe” because of serious adverse reactions. But as for manufacturers of dietary supplements, they don’t have these problems because there do not have such regulations in supplement industry.
Supplement regulations are based on money and not on science. In fact, they should have the same regulations like those which are established for pharmaceutical companies.

Role of coaches in decisions of athletes to take steroids and other controlled substances

Brian McNamee affirms that coaches are the main individuals that induce usage of anabolic steroids. The convicted distributor of steroids notes that trainers have the most essential influence on decisions of young sportspersons to administer forbidden substances. Their influence is bigger than one of street dealers that offer prohibited products for sales, trying to convince young sportspeople that they may have great success due to intake of these products. Brian McNamee supposes that trainers and the society teach young sportspeople that they must win at any cost. This factor pressures students that are involved in sports. It induces causing their decision to take steroids and other related drugs.
Brian McNamee was invited to share his opinion at the Nassau Counselors Association’s conference. He pronounced some comments  during a presentation that 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 noted that he saved all syringes and vials that were used for injecting Roger Clemens with steroids during about seven years. He supported accusations of federal prosecutors against Clemens.
The testimony of McNamee induced 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. Statements of Brian McNamee and Kirk Radomski represented the base for publishing the report. They provided evidence related to intake of steroids in professional baseball. These men were enforced to collaborate with investigators of the Mitchell Report. It was their agreement that was achieved because of charges connected with steroids.
The agreement also suggests that McNamee will testify as a government witness in the trial of Roger Clemens. He couldn’t pronounce details connected with the case of Roger Clemens during the Nassau Counselors Association. But the time will come, when he says the story connected with Clemens.
However it was declared a mistrial in the 1st  trial connected with the case of Roger Clemens, it was scheduled another trial.

Jose Canseco has started taking Shaquille O’Neal seriously and they discuss their match

It has been lately noticed that Jose Canseco and Shaquille O’Neal have discussed their possibility to fight against each other in a ring of mixed martial arts. O’Neal challenged him last year but Jose Canseco didn’t take the challenge seriously. Just now Jose Canseco changed his attitude.
Certain individuals 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 must submit to a steroid test before starting playing in this team. But as it is known, he takes Testosterone Cypionate and HCG that are recommended by his doctor for testosterone replacement therapy. However he has justified clinical needs for usage of these preparations, he must obtain several specified documents to be allowed to play baseball professionally. While his fate linked with playing baseball professionally is not yet clear, he intends to fight against O’Neal in a ring.
Shaquille O’Neal has noted that he is ready to fight against Jose Canseco. He reported that he had challenged Canseco long ago.
O’Neal doesn’t worry that Canseco uses anabolic steroids. He has own secret methods and he hopes that he is able to neutralize effects of Jose Canseco that are caused by administration of Testosterone Cypionate.
It was scheduled that Jose Canseco would fight against Lenny Dykstra, a former player of the MLB. When this person played baseball professionally, he also used 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 took anabolic steroids. Dykstra told Lane that Jose Canseco and he had induced causing steroid revolution in baseball.
Jeff Scott, a bodybuilder from Florida, said that he supplied Dykstra with medicines which enhance performance at sums of 20, 000 dollars. He also mentioned that he injected Dykstra with steroids certain times.
But the fight between Dykstra and Jose Canseco never occurred because Lenny Dykstra was prosecuted on certain counts, including thefts, false financial statements and possession of illicit drugs. Finally, he was sentenced to jail.
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 Shaquille O’Neal.

The BOA thinks that rules of the WADA on steroids are not good enough

The British Olympic Association tries to justify itself for the aspect that it breaks laws of the World Anti-Doping Agency. According to rules of the WADA, punishment for usage of anabolic steroids and other related preparations have to be the same in the whole  world. The penalty that is indicated for an athlete that has utilized forbidden medicines for the first time is sentencing to suspension of 2 years.
But the British Olympic Association claims that such penalty isn’t good enough. The BOA sentences steroid users for life-time bans from participating in the Olympics. The WADA claims that this rule of the BOA contradicts the WADA Code that 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 used banned products were suspended by the International Olympic Committee from taking part in Olympics under the Osaka Rule.
Lord Moynihan confirmed that the law of the BOA connected with life-time suspensions wouldn’t be cancel, if even the CAS would be in contradiction with it. The BOA believes that it has the best rules.
Lord Moynihan supported statements written by the former British Olympic decathlete Daley Thompson that noted that British rules related to administration of prohibited preparations were the best. He noticed that they shouldn’t be overthrown by the rest part of the world.
Delay Thompson notes that cheaters have to be punished strictly. They should be banned for the whole life. According to his statements, the BOA shouldn’t agree with the law of the WADA to sentence dopers only for 2-year bans. He notices that the Britain desires to have the highest sport standards. He notes that if the rest part of the world doesn’t want to have high standards, it doesn’t mean that Britain must follow their reduced levels.
David Howman, the director general of the WADA, criticizes affirmations proclaimed by Daley, noting 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, blames the BOA for its refusal to agree with the laws of the WADA. It seems to be strange that Travis Tygart that usually criticizes cheaters blames the BOA for the strict law.
Travis claims that since international laws have been once established and all have agreed to them, everyone must follow them.
Dwain Chambers and David Millar, British athletes, who have been earlier suspended for administration of prohibited medications wait for the conclusions linked with this issue. They want to know whether they will be allowed to take part in the 2012 London Olympics.

Aren’t you aware which form to take: Testosterone Propionate vs Enanthate?
Many persons, especially those that utilize or desire to use testosterone, frequently ask the following question: “Which version is more proper for athletic needs: Testosterone Propionate vs Enanthate?” These esters have different chemical structures which influence on differences that exist between these 2 forms of testosterone. Knowing structures of these forms of testosterone you may be capable answer on the following questions: “Which is more soluble: Testosterone Propionate vs Enanthate?” and “Which form has shorter length of action?” Having more carbons in the chain, Enanthate is less soluble in water and has longer length of action than Propionate. These differences may help you to choose a form which is proper for you.

How did Patrick Arnold begin to produce steroids?

No one from New Jersey wants to be implicated in a low-paying job which is linked with manufacture of chemicals which are used in shampoos and hair gels. Let tell you what has happened in this state in 1994.
Patrick Arnold, a person of the age of 24, was alone in a room. He was mixing several specific thickeners in order to enhance viscosity of several solutions. He was doing this job a lot of time. So, he had sufficient time to meditate about his fate, blaming it. He was unhappy that the job was bothering and nothing interesting happened. But there was no any other place to go.
Although his future was before him, some months went away before he saw the way.
Patrick Arnold was a glowing weightlifter. But he has stopped much time ago to put his efforts to increase muscles. Nonetheless, everyday after his job he went to a gym where he had workouts and had conversions with other guys. Their conversions were often connected with anabolic steroids. Arnold had specialized in chemistry at the University of New Haven. So,  the discussions linked with steroids led him to meditations.
Once after this guy had stirred thickeners he went to the chemistry library and looked at molecular structures of the steroids which were described in certain fitness magazines. Anabolic steroids had been already pronounced to be banned medicines. But there was still sufficient information about these medicines.
Looking at molecular structures of steroids, Arnold was pondering why he was doing that low-paying job. He decided that it would be much better for him to try producing steroids himself. He ordered certain chemicals through the company. He needed to have them for production of steroids. Nobody knew what he planned to do.
Beginning the new job, Arnold experienced several problems. He didn’t get success at once. For example, he wanted to make a preparation that had to have a crystalline structure. But it turned out to be that he got liquid that was like sticky oil. He comprehended that it indicated that potentially toxic impurities and substrates were not separated from the brew. Step by step he became more versed. Arnold started to use solvents to wash impurities and reactants away. He could produce desired products. Their crystalline structures proved that they were purified.
