Jordan Matechuk faced up 2 years in prison for possession of steroids and marijuana

Jordan Matechuk, a Canadian football player was busted by the US Customs and Border Patrol (CBP). He was caught having more than 540 tablets of oral steroids and over 260 ml of injectable steroids, when he was returning to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats training camp. Jordan Matechuk affirmed that his depression was responsible for the decision to get and take anabolic steroids.
Jordan Matechuk said that he used anabolic steroids and marijuana in order to be able to escape from his depression. He confirmed that earlier he had taken anti-depressant drugs. Discontinuing taking anti-depressant products probably led to administration of steroids.
The football player noticed that he had depression. He began to take steroids and marijuana in order to feel better. Jordan Matechuk admitted that he was responsible for this condition. He wouldn’t have stopped using anti-depressant medications. But he stopped administering them. This factor resulted in intake of steroids.
The football player Jordan 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 jail. But he was released after he served only 60 days.
Matechuk reported that there were certain other conditions but he decided to keep them confidential.
The Canadian Football League gave him another chance to play football professionally.
He wrote a letter and sent it to each member of the team. He wrote about his shame for his arrest related to possession and intake of steroids. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats didn’t want to receive the steroid user back to the team.
But the Winnipeg Blue Bombers decided to provide him the second chance. So, he was happily accepted by this team.

Australian judge believed that over 3, 000 g of raw steroid powder were ordered for self-administration by one person

Brenton Dowell, a bodybuilder from Australia, was caught possessing and importing large amounts of anabolic steroids in March 2011. It was determined that these steroids could be sufficient to be taken for more than 60 years by a person. Numerous individuals believed that this bodybuilder would be sentenced to prison. But Brenton Dowell avoided imprisonment successfully.
The Australian Customs and Border Protection Service confirmed that this bodybuilder had attempted to import over 3 kg of testosterone powder. The packages which contained the raw powder were mailed in September, October and November 2011. They were shipped to 3 different places: to Dowell’s home, to his father and his stepfather.
Actually, such large quantities of raw powder could be purchased 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 utilized for preparing of 1500 10-ml vials with ready drugs.
Len Hartnett, the defense attorney for Brenton Dowell, confirmed that the testosterone powder had been ordered for his client’s personal application. He noted that Dowell’s administration of steroids was caused by bullying attacks that he received, when he was an overweight child. Thus, according to the defense attorney, Brenton Dowell became addicted to bodybuilding and started to utilize steroids because he was an overweight kid.
The judge Graeme Hicks was influenced by arguments of the defense attorney Len Harnett that presented experiences of Brenton Dowell in his childhood. He added that it could be concluded that Brenton Dowell had become obsessed by bodybuilding.
So, the judge believed the arguments of Len Harnett. Based on the descriptions and arguments of the defense attorney, the judge Graeme Hicks concluded that Brenton Dowell had purchased steroids personal intake 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 suspended sentence.

Pathologist: if Mohammed Belkhair hadn’t used steroids, he would have been alive today

Georgina Howarth, a pathologist, concluded that the death of Mohammed Belkhair, a 19-year guy, had been caused by usage of anabolic steroids. The doctor noted 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 taken steroids, he would have lived today. She affirmed that intake of steroids was the only reason of the death. Howarth noted that the death of this boy was a lesson for every person to stay far from such preparations.
Mohammed Belkhair’s sister found him vomiting in his room on May, 2011. The teenager admitted that he had utilized steroids. The death occurred at the same day. It was reported that steroids had been found in his system.
According to some articles, DHEA and Tamoxifen were two steroids that were found in the system of the boy. DHEA is sold overall in Britain and in the USA.
But actually, the news is misleading. Tamoxifen doesn’t belong to anabolic steroids. This medicine has been initially introduced to cure individuals that experience breast cancer. It has become popular among sportspersons and bodybuilders that take steroids because of its capacity to prevent aromatization of other preparations.
It seems to be curiously but nothing was noticed about arrest of Mohammed Belkhair. This factor might contribute in the death. This guy was arrested on the night before his death by police officials. 4 various anabolic steroids were found in the room of this person. But the names of the steroids were not mentioned.
Although the police encounter and arrest occurred some hours before the death of this guy, the doctor Georgina Howarth didn’t investigate these factors. Furthermore, she didn’t present any explanation about this condition. Police officials released nothing too.
Since it was said that Mohammed Belkhair had purchased steroids per internet, the news connected with dangers of getting steroids per internet were spread in the country. So, it turned out to be convenient for changing the laws in order to make purchasing of steroids per internet criminal in Britain. The British government wants to make personal import of steroids per mail and per internet criminal. It will be in near future. Although it is believed that these amendments will be enacted before the 2012 London Olympics, they are not still enacted.

Different legislations related to sentencing of steroid users in sports

Officers of the UK will be not able to stop athletes importing steroids to the UK, when they come to participate in the 2012 Olympic Games. However intake of steroids is banned in sports, personal intake of these products is not illegal in the UK. Just sale of steroids is claimed to be illicit in this country. Thus, if someone attempts to import amount of anabolic steroids which is essentially 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 related to import and application of steroids at least temporally. But the British government refuses to change steroid legislation for the 2012 Olympics.
Ironically, while the British government doesn’t want to make personal usage of steroids criminal, Britain sportspersons are banned for lifetime, if they apply anabolic steroids. As for the WADA Code, sportspeople who take banned medications are banned for two years.
Hugh Robertson, the Olympic minister, notes that it is needed to have a universal law related to sentencing. This minister insists on at least four years or even longer.  Although this minister is supported by the British Olympic Association, the UK Anti-Doping Agency doesn’t agree with such harsh sanction. Andy Parkinson, the CEO of the UK Anti-Doping Agency, believes that some sanctions should be milder.
Hugh Robertson realizes that there are different points of view in sports and it’s not well but he doesn’t ask Andy Parkinson to resign.
The spokesman for the minister has noticed that any athlete can have steroids in his/her luggage, when he/she comes to London. But the amount of steroids should display that he/she has them just for personal usage. The spokesperson has noticed that it is not illegal for an athlete to apply steroids under laws of the UK but if any athlete is caught administering forbidden medications, he/she will be punished under anti-doping laws.
The UKAD confirmed that they would cooperate with border control officials. Information about sportspeople will be used by anti-doping officers.
5, 000 drug test, including 1, 000 blood tests will be conducted by the International Olympic Committee.

There is a direct connection between steroid use and heart problems

Prolonged administration of anabolic steroids can result in various heart dysfunctions. It increases risks 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 work like testosterone that occurs naturally and that is responsible for development of male sex characteristics.
The leader of the study Aaron L. Baggish states that in addition to the fact that anabolic steroids are illegal, they are linked with unwanted results for health. He notes that it is the first time, when negative effect of long-term usage of steroids on heart is clearly recognized.
The study displayed that the left ventricle in consumers of steroids was substantially weaker during contraction than in those who didn’t apply steroids.
A left ventricle which works appropriately pumps out 55-70 % of the blood that fills the heart.
 12 consumers of steroids were implicated in the research. It was displayed that the left ventricles of 83 % these steroid users worked inappropriately: they pumped out less than 55 % of the blood.   Among the examined non-users just one person had problems linked with the function of the left ventricle.
The study manifested that ventricle relaxation among steroid users was reduced by circa half. It was 0, 93 among consumers of steroids; 1, 80 – among non-steroid users. The structure of the left ventricle was similar in both groups: users of steroids and non-users.
It was used the method “Doppler echocardiography” for evaluation of function and structure of the left ventricle. This test uses ultrasound for creation of moving pictures of the heart and its blood flow.
 The group of steroid users included twelve weightlifters at the age of about 40 that said that they took approximately 675 mg of steroids weekly for 9 years. Another group included weightlifters who didn’t administer steroids. Both groups had similar physical activity and the same risks connected with heart disorders. But they had differences in body weight and muscle size. The users of steroids had more muscular physiques.
However small number of steroid users has been evaluated, the results have shown that there is a close connection between administration of steroids and heart impairment.
The experts decided to conduct further studies in order to support the findings.
Baggish and his co-investigators hope that people will comprehend that application of steroids can cause heart troubles and different unexplained heart dysfunctions in young people.

Jay Cutler spends more time for eating than for workouts

Bodybuilding doesn’t belong to exciting sports. Any bodybuilder may support this affirmation. Those that are involved in bodybuilding spend much time at gyms, training; they prepare appropriate food and make continuous researches. What is this work done for? – Just for 30 seconds on stage. Of course, if bodybuilders reach high results, they obtain awards, fame, and admiration of others. Their pictures are posted on covers of fit magazines. They become well-known.
Unluckily, the most of bodybuilders never reach this level because it is required a lot of work and money for this goal. But any bodybuilder hopes to achieve this level: to be a top bodybuilder, to receive money and other prizes. If you have any interest to find out what is required for success in bodybuilding, you may look at Jay Cutler and certain 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 got Mr. Olympia titles 4 times. This bodybuilder spends much time for sports. He claims 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 eating than for workouts. He lifts for about 2 hours and gets cardio an hour per day. Jay Cutler states that his day differs significantly from thoughts of people about it. Those that are not involved in bodybuilding suppose that bodybuilders train 8 hours per day. They suggest that if they apply steroids, they will have the same appearance like professional bodybuilders.
Jay Cutler claims that steroids are not everything in bodybuilding but they play a significant role in it. He claims that if anyone desires to reach obvious success in sports, he/she has to apply steroids. Ron Stevens, who is in the sport 15 years, supports the affirmation of Jay Cutler about steroids. He notices that it is impossible to compete without administration of these medications. After certain shows Ron Stevens made the decision to use steroids.
Stevens is a dedicated bodybuilder as well. He eats much food that could be sufficient for a family that consists of five members.
The most of bodybuilders haven’t obtained great supplement contracts. They don’t have enough money in order to support their efforts and receive titles of Mr. Olympia.
In fact, the most of dedicated bodybuilders have regular jobs and hope that they will achieve obvious success one day.
Cutler had two jobs. This bodybuilder worked and spent every dollar he had for bodybuilding. Finally, he obtained great success. His every effort was paid off.
Pondering about Jay Cutler, any bodybuilder may be encouraged to hope that he will succeed essentially one day. Infamous bodybuilders can dream at least.

Dana White claims that the WADA Code helps them to protect their sports

The UFC President Dana White tries to defend UFC efforts against usage of banned products.  The UFC President notes that the UFC struggles seriously to push performance-enhancing drugs out of sports. He affirms that they do more than any other sport organization for this purpose.
Unluckily, statements of Dana White are claimed only for public relations purposes. They are wholly false. The UFC doesn’t do more than any other sport organization, struggling against administration of prohibited medicines.
The UFC President claims that it is impossible to perform random drug testing in the UFC. This person notices that they have 375 athletes under contract. He notices that it is impossible to perform random tests because these sportspersons live everywhere; they travel around the world. He finds it unreal to travel in different countries, looking for these 375 guys, in order to test them continually.
While The UFC President confirms that it is not possible to perform random drug testing of 375 UFC athletes, 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 public about administration of prohibited preparations by the UFC sportspersons? Or is he ignorant entirely, when it comes to the rules of the World Anti-Doping Agency?
The CEO of the US Anti-Doping Agency states that the UFC does everything in order to avoid following the rules of the WADA. They have own rules and fight against the WADA laws. However the UFC states that they try to protect their sports from administration of prohibited drugs by the WADA Code, the reality displays that it is not true. The UFC laws are miserable in comparison with those of the WADA. Try to understand it!

Although Mike Wallace hosted different significant interviews, everyone got interested in the steroid case of Roger Clemens

Mike Wallace, a prominent investigative journalist, who was one of the initial correspondents of CBS’ 60 Minutes died, when he was 93 years old. This correspondent presented interesting interviews with world famous figures. The latest stories were related to the former professional baseball player Roger Clemens and accusations connected with administration of anabolic steroids and HGH by this person. Mike Wallace’s last appearance on TV was linked with 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 baseball star in the program 60 Minutes. Roger Clemens had to defense himself against accusations of Brian McNamee, his former personal coach. This trainer accused Roger Clemens in administration of anabolic steroids and HGH. He collaborated with investigators of Mitchell Report, when they tried to define 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 taken neither steroids, nor HGH. Roger Clemens confirmed that he would pull a tractor with his teeth, if he had applied steroids.
The interview of Clemens was an unfortunate public relations ploy for Rusty Hardin. It was not a perceptive interview. But it renewed the interest after Wallace had died.
In fact, Wallace presented much more substantial interviews during his career. The steroid interview with Roger Clemens was not the most significant. Why did it draw each person’s attention?
Other interviews of Wallace are quite interesting. 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 called the Watergate scandal “perjury”. He listed such methods of Richard Nixon, as thefts, spying, obstruction of justice, etc. The scandal resulted in resignation of the president Richard Nixon.
Wallace arranged also an interview with the Iranian leader Ayatollah Khomeini. The reporter called him 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 noted during the interview that executives of the company cheated before the Congress about their knowledge related to nature of nicotine.
Although these interviews were significant, a lot of people 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 lead to federal war on steroids, the war on nicotine will never take place.

Mustard can help you to escape from extra fat

Some recent studies have set certain positive effects of mustard. Anybody knows that it is an excellent remedy which adds pleasant flavor to meal. Moreover, it has been defined that mustard may help to lose fat and improve physical appearance.
A study connected with 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 research that a compound that is named “homobrassinolide” found in mustard and other related herbs has ability to increase lean muscle mass and endurance in mammals.
28-Homobrassinolide is a brassinosteroid. It is a type of steroid that has been found in plants which belong to Brassica family. It has been known that it may induce growing plants. But no one has been aware about its function in mammals. The specialists have defined that homobrassinolide has capacity to cause anabolic effects in mammals. It induces increasing protein synthesis, stimulates appetite and enhances muscle size through enhancement of number and size of muscle fibers in animals.
Healthy rats have been enrolled in the research. 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 noted that animals who have been given homobrassinolide have acquired significantly more muscle mass than those that have not received this compound.
Increase of muscle size indicates about a higher basal metabolic rate. Increased BMR is associated with great caloric burning which helps to stay lean.
So, the study has clearly displayed that homobrassinolide increases protein synthesis, increases size and number of muscle fibers which play an essential role for enhancement of endurance.
Specialists suppose that such plants, as mustard, can be applied for more enhanced brassinosteroid content. It can help to have lean muscle mass, increase it and prevent several diseases.
It is suggested that future supplement and medicine industry will elaborate products that will be useful in case of certain illnesses connected with muscle wasting. Such products may be applied as alternative products to synthetic steroids because the first ones will probably have minimal or no negative effects.
Leaves of mustard have little calories. They are rich in antioxidants. Leaves of mustard have anti-inflammatory effects. Furthermore, they represent a brilliant source of iron, magnesium, fiber, selenium and phosphorous.
Mustard can be used 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 certain positive effects.

A doctor that taught top athletes how to avoid detection and supplied them with steroids was arrested

Mossos d’Esqudra and Spain’s Policia Nacional conducted a steroid investigation that led to arrest of ten persons that were implicated in a steroid chain. These persons provided top amateur and professional sportspeople and even Olympic athletes with anabolic steroids, HGH, EPO, CERA and other related preparations.  The investigation was called “Operacion Skype”. The steroid ring was settled in Barcelona.
The investigation was initially connected with the professional cyclist David Garcia Dapena that tested positive for EPO after the 2010 Vuelta a Espana. It was determined that David Garcia Dapena had enhanced hematocrit levels which indicated about administration of EPO.
Garcia didn’t deny administration of the prohibited product. He collaborated with the police officials. The cyclist admitted that he had bought drugs with performance-enhancing effects from the doctor Alberto Beltran Nino.
It was determined that Beltran had been the leader of an organization connected with sophisticated doping. This organization supplied cyclists and other athletes with prohibited preparations. It was also defined that several athletes that participated in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the 2010 Vuelta a Espana, the 2009 Tour du Portugal and the 2012 Spanish Athletics Championships belonged to the group of sportspersons who bought steroids and other prohibited preparations from this doping organization.
It was even earlier supposed that Beltran supplied sportspersons with steroids and other doping substances and taught them how to avoid detection. This physician was arrested in Italy after he was caught driving his car which contained steroids and other related products.
The Portuguese professional cyclist Nuno Ribeiro accused the physician Beltran in injecting him with forbidden products after he tested positive for CERA in 2009.
The runner Jose Luis Blanko assisted in the steroid investigation which had been conducted against Beltran after this sprinter 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 athlete.
Nonetheless, the police suspect that he has established a team of intermediaries in different countries. They have bought steroids and other related medicines and supplied top sportspeople with them.
Beltran was detained in Madrid in March 2012 by police officers. He was caught possessing AICAR and TB-500.
While no any athlete has tested positive for these products, it is suspected that several sportspersons have planned to administer these medicines.

What have you to know about AndroGel dosage to get wanted effects?
AndroGel dosage is directed by physicians who take into account following conditions: levels of testosterone in patients, responses of their bodies to usage of this product, individual conditions and other preparations which are used by patients. It is commonly indicated to begin with the AndroGel dosage of 5 mg a day. The measure is regulated during the therapy. If serum testosterone levels are essentially low, the dosage must be increased. If the levels are more enhanced than the normal level, the therapy with this medication should be stopped. The quantity should be corrected only by specialists but not by those who use this product.

Almost each prostitute from Bangladesh takes corticosteroids

Teenage females in Bangladesh who are involved in prostitution take steroids in order to get weight and bulk up. It has been written by Reuters. The article’s headline contains the following words: “dark steroid secret”. It is confirmed that prostitutes from Bangladesh utilize steroids in order to look better. Undoubtedly, the first thoughts that come in mind in this situation are linked with abuse of anabolic steroids. But reading the article completely and more attentively, anybody may see that it is spoken not about anabolic steroids but about corticosteroids.
One of corticosteroids that are getable at pharmacies of Bangladesh is sold under the trade name Oradexon. It is not required to have a prescription in order to purchase this medication. Its cost is approximately 15 taka which equal to 0, 18 USD dollars. Another name of this preparation is Dexamethasone. This is an anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant preparation which is prescribed for cure of persons who experience different illnesses. This remedy is over 25 times more potent that the natural steroid hormone cortisol.
90 % of sex workers at the 15 legal whorehouses from Bangladesh utilize the corticosteroid Oradexon. 90 % equal to 900 young prostitutes who utilize this remedy continually. They administer it willingly or are enforced to do it. So, some of them are enforced to utilize it. But others take this product volitionally because it is confirmed that corticosteroids have ability to enhance strength and improve health.
It seems to be ironically but prostitutes from Bangladesh  that take corticosteroids have the same purposes like those which encourage bodybuilders to take anabolic steroids. Sex workers use corticosteroids in order to improve physical appearance, add weight and increase appetite.
It is claimed that Oradexon may give healthy appearance to consumers. It is appreciated by customers. A woman who is involved in prostitution in Bangladesh says that customers are seeking 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. Furthermore, she tries to earn money for her son.
In fact, adverse effects that can occur due to corticosteroids are much more severe than those that may be caused due to administration of anabolic steroids. Corticosteroids may affect immune system, lead to osteoporosis and insulin resistance, increase appetite unusually, and increase weight and fat.
Experts try to draw people’s attention to abuse of corticosteroids and possible side reactions of them.

Did the NFL violate any law due to suspensions of D. J. Williams and Ryan McBean?

The National Football League sentenced to bans the linebacker D. J. Williams and Ryan McBean, a defensive lineman, of the team Denver Broncos for violation of steroid policy. They were suspended from 6 games. But they were not banned for intake of steroids. They didn’t test positive for steroids or other forbidden medications. They were accused in providing “non-human” urine samples to the drug testing officer.
D. J. William confirmed that he had never tested for any forbidden product during 8 years of his career. The football player added that he was proud of his records. The linebacker of the NFL noted that he was also proud of his manner in that he conducted himself, being an athlete.
The attorney for McBean, Peter Shaffer, affirmed that the NFL had violated rights of this player. He noted that since McBean had never tested positive for any prohibited medicine, the NFL didn’t have any right to sentenced him to ban.
Peter Schaffer confirmed that he wanted to make it clear that neither D. J. Williams, nor Ryan McBean tested positive for forbidden substances.
A lawsuit was filed in Denver County Court against suspensions of these players of the NFL.
D. J. Williams and Ryan McBean affirmed that the drug testing officer had violated several rules related to the procedure of collecting urine samples.
Peter Schaffer noted that certain similarities had been between his client and Ryan Braun. Braun won his appeal connected with his suspension from 50 games for application of testosterone. Ryan Braun could prove that Dino Laurenzi, the drug testing officer, violated steroid policy.
As for Laurenzi, different anti-doping agencies defended and supported him. The WADA also supported Dino Laurenzi. It was said that there was the same procedure of collecting and sending urine samples not only for the MLB but also for the WADA.
But as for the drug testing officer that collected samples of Williams and McBean, another attitude was displayed to him. He was fired by the NFL for wrong doing his duty.
At the hearing the NFL administrators admitted that the drug testing officer violated the rules linked with collection of urine samples.
Nevertheless, the appeal on behalf of the football players was rejected.

No one company should be allowed to label medicines as dietary supplements

What may be called “a medicine”? The FDA confirms that a medicine is a substance; it is not a supplement. It is used for diagnosis, cure, prevention of diseases, for appropriate influence on body’s functions. It is possible to notice that a medication is a medication that has nothing to do with politics and great money.
But you may face certain ambiguity today. A law that has been established in 1994 by Senators Orrin Hatch and Tom Harkin has led to the confusion between supplements and medicines. Thus, mega-billion dollar supplements industry has induced causing the disorder in clear definitions. Consumers’ ignorance and several legislative expressions with doubled sense have played significant role in creation of following wrong conception: everything that is sold is safe.
This incorrect conception led to different serious situations. For example, more than a year ago 2 young soldiers of the U. S. Army died as a result of administration of so-called “supplements” Jack3d and OxyElite Pro. The case is still investigated. Actually, it has been defined that those soldiers had used 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 medicine. Although it is a banned substance used by sportspeople, it is available at the Vitamin Shoppe or GNC.
Health stores sell products that are similar to that compound mentioned above. They are labeled as dietary supplements but it is not true.
Another preparation is DHEA. It represents a steroid which may be converted in users’ bodies into anabolic steroids or neurohormonal steroids. This factor influences on physiological functions of body. Is it a supplement actually?
Another product which is labeled as a dietary supplement is RockHard Weekend. It contains different substances. But does anybody know which compounds are contained in the bottle? Can anybody reassure that they are safe for application?
One of people’s mistakes is that they meditate the following way: if any preparation is made of plants, it is safe for intake. Many persons claim that such supplements can’t affect body’s functions. It is wrong to think this way. There are plants which are toxicant. It is forbidden to consume them.
Hemlock was the poison that led to Socrates’ death. It was derived from certain herb. Ricin that is claimed to be one of the most toxicant compounds on the Earth is derived from a castor been roots. That’s why it is necessary to know what you apply in order to avoid administering products that contain any poison, regardless they are from herbs or not.
Why are companies permitted to sell drugs as if they were dietary supplemenets? 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 elaborate substances that are labeled as supplements. But are they actually supplements? Several drugs are purchasable, being marketed as supplements. But it is wrong completely. These substances may be unsafe.
Does anyone suppose that anabolic steroids and other related medications can be labeled as supplements? Do they supplement or cure? A term was introduced in order to prevent using medical terms. This term is “to support”. What does this verb mean? Isn’t it a wink to the term “to cure”?
The FDA desires 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 set whether new medicines 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 problems because there do not have such requirements in supplement industry.
Supplement regulations are linked with money and not with science. Actually, they should have the same requirements like those which are established for pharmaceutical companies.

Interesting facts about Anavar side effects
One can determine the most typical Anavar side effects. Such undesirable responses that appear in enhanced percentage of those who take this preparation belong to this group. Let notice these undesirable results: depression, loss of appetite, cystic acne, baldness, irritation of skin, sensation of a need to vomit, vomiting, breathing troubles, urine of dark color and sexual problems. Although these reactions are negative, there is a positive side here. Several Anavar side effects happen because of genetic predisposition and wrong usage of this medication. Thus, if you are not predisposed genetically to certain adverse responses and follow all instructions, you can use it without any fear.

Brian McNamee confirms that trainers promote using steroids

Brian McNamee affirms that trainers are the main individuals that induce application of anabolic steroids. The convicted distributor of steroids affirms that coaches have the most significant influence on decisions of young athletes to use forbidden preparations. Their influence is larger than one of street dealers who offer banned products for sales, trying to convince young sportspersons that they may succeed due to application of these preparations. Brian McNamee supposes that trainers and the society teach young sportspeople that they should win at any cost. This aspect pressures students that go info sports. It promotes causing their decision to apply steroids and other related preparations.
Brian McNamee was invited to share his opinion at the Nassau Counselors Association’s conference. He had a speech  during a presentation which was called “Creating a Safe Environment for Our Student-Athletes”. He got an honorarium of 200 dollars. McNamee donated this sum of money to the Taylor Hooton Foundation.
McNamee is known better as a trainer who has injected Roger Clemens with anabolic steroids and HGH. It was noted that he saved all syringes and vials which were applied for injecting Clemens with steroids during approximately 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. Testimonies of Brian McNamee and Kirk Radomski represented the base for writing the report. They provided evidence connected with usage of steroids in professional baseball. These persons were enforced to collaborate with investigators of the Mitchell Report. It was their agreement that was achieved due to charges related to 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 says the story connected with Clemens.
Although it was declared a mistrial in the first trial connected with the case of Roger Clemens, it was scheduled another trial.

Shaquille O’Neal challenged Jose Canseco to fight in a match mixed martial arts

It has been recently reported that Jose Canseco and Shaquille O’Neal have spoken about their possibility to fight against each other in a match of mixed martial arts. The challenge was made by O’Neal last year but Jose Canseco didn’t take the challenge seriously. Only now Jose Canseco changed his attitude.
Many people consider that Jose Canseco needs money since the Triple-A Quintana Roo Tigres of the Mexican Baseball League has decided to take him the second chance to play professional baseball.
Jose Canseco must submit to a steroid test before starting playing in this team. But as it is stated, he administers Testosterone Cypionate and HCG that are indicated by his physician for testosterone replacement therapy. Although he has justified therapeutic purposes for application of these products, he has to obtain certain specific documents to be allowed to play baseball professionally. While his fate connected with playing professional baseball is not yet decided, he wants to fight against O’Neal in a ring.
O’Neal has noted that he is ready to fight against Jose Canseco. He mentioned that he had challenged Canseco long ago.
Shaquille O’Neal doesn’t worry that Jose Canseco uses anabolic steroids. He has own secret methods and he states that he has ability to neutralize effects of Jose Canseco that are caused by intake of Testosterone Cypionate.
It was scheduled that Jose Canseco would fight against Lenny Dykstra, a former player of the MLB. When this man played professional baseball, he also applied anabolic steroids.
Randall Lane confirms in his book “The Zeroes: My Misadventures in the Decade Wall Street Went Insane” that Lenny Dykstra has acknowledged that he administered anabolic steroids. Dykstra told Lane that Jose Canseco and he had promoted causing steroid revolution in baseball.
Jeff Scott, a bodybuilder from Florida, claimed that he supplied Dykstra with performance-enhancing drugs at sums of 20, 000 dollars. He also noticed that he injected Dykstra with steroids several times.
But the fight between Dykstra and Jose Canseco never happened because Dykstra was charged with thefts, false financial statements and possession of illegal medicines. Finally, he was sentenced to jail.
O’Neil 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 dopers should be harshly punished

The British Olympic Association tries to justify itself for the fact that it violates rules of the World Anti-Doping Agency. According to rules of the WADA, punishment for administration of anabolic steroids and other related drugs should be unvarying in the whole  world. The punishment that is indicated for a sportsperson who has used prohibited medicines for the first time is sentencing to 2-year suspensions.
But the British Olympic Association considers that such punishment isn’t good enough. The BOA sentences users of steroids for life-time suspensions from taking part in the Olympic Games. The WADA confirms that this rule of the BOA contradicts the WADA Code that is universal.
Lord Moynihan, the chairman of the BOA, hasn’t agreed to change the rule. As a result, a hearing has been scheduled to be at a Court of Arbitration for Sports in London.
The athletes that had administered forbidden drugs were suspended by the International Olympic Committee from participations in Olympics under the Osaka Rule.
Lord Moynihan claimed that the law of the BOA related to life-time suspensions wouldn’t be cancel, if even the CAS would be in contradiction with it. The BOA thinks that it has the best rules.
Lord Moynihan supported affirmations written by the former British Olympic decathlete Daley Thompson who noted that British rules linked with usage of banned medicines were the best. He confirmed that they shouldn’t be overthrown by the rest part of the world.
Delay Thompson notices that dopers should be punished harshly. 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 just for 2-year bans. He claims that the Britain wants 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 has to follow their low levels.
David Howman, the director general of the WADA, criticizes affirmations pronounced 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, blames the BOA for its refusal to submit to the rules of the WADA. It seems to be strange that Travis Tygart that always blames dopers blames the BOA for the strict rule.
Travis Tygart states that since international laws have been once established and all have agreed to them, anyone must obey them.
The British athletes Dwain Chambers and David Millar that have been earlier banned for usage of prohibited drugs wait for the decisions linked with this issue. They want to know whether they will be allowed to participate in the 2012 London Olympics.
