Sometimes steroid dealers are used to discover consumers of these illegal preparations

Robert Kusmack, a former officer of Paw Paw Police Department, was caught possessing Fluoxymesterone (Halotestin) due to a Michigan steroid investigation. The targets of the investigation were officials of law enforcement and an owner of a gym. As a result, this police officer received probation of 1 year and was enforced to pay certain fine. Thus, this police officer was fired in 2010.
Investigations related to steroids are led commonly in the following way: consumers of steroids are used in order to catch steroid dealers. But sometimes authorities choose another way to lead investigations.
 United States Mail Inspection Service had found a package which contained 50 vials of HGH and was addressed to Tom Radke, a distributor of steroids. The West Michigan Enforcement Team (WMET) and the Kalamazoo Valley Enforcement Team (KVET) began to lead the investigation which resulted in detection of the steroid dealer.
But the authorities made a decision not to prosecute the distributor of steroids but to use him as an informant. It was made a decision to catch police officers that administrate steroids due to the distributor of steroids. An owner of a local gym was involved in this process as well.
Radke acted as an undercover informant in this investigation. He sold Fluoxymesterone to Aaron DiPrima that was the owner of a local gym. The gym owner supplied the police official Robert Kusmack with this product. Both Aaron DiPrima and the police official were arrested.
The gym owner Aaron DiPrima pleaded guilty in possession of an analogue. He was sentenced to one-year probation. He was also sentenced to 60 hours of community service. So, the distributor of steroids was not sentenced to prison. Three consumers of steroids lost their jobs.
