He was caught possessing over 540 tablets of oral steroids and more than 260 ml of injectable steroids, when he was returning to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats training camp. Jordan Matechuk confirmed that his depression was responsible for the decision to buy and take anabolic steroids.
The football player noted that he utilized anabolic steroids and marijuana in order to be capable to get rid of his depression. He noted that earlier he had used anti-depressant remedies. Stopping administering anti-depressant preparations probably resulted in administration of steroids.

Australian bodybuilder that imported over 3 kg of raw steroid powder claimed that he had bought the powder for personal usage

Brenton Dowell, a bodybuilder from Australia, was caught possessing and importing large amounts of anabolic steroids in March 2011. It was defined that these steroids could be sufficient to be used for more than 60 years by a person. A lot of people believed that this bodybuilder would be sentenced to jail. But Dowell avoided imprisonment successfully.
The Australian Customs and Border Protection Service noticed that this bodybuilder had attempted to smuggle over 3, 000 g of testosterone powder. The packages which contained the raw testosterone powder were mailed in September, October and November 2011. They were shipped to 3 different places: to the home of Dowell, to his father and his stepfather.
Actually, such large quantities of raw testosterone powder could be bought just for manufacture of anabolic steroids by underground labs for selling them on the black market. 3 kg of raw steroid powder could be used for getting of 1500 10-ml vials with ready drugs.
Len Hartnett, the defense attorney for Brenton Dowell, affirmed that the steroid powder had been bought for his client’s personal use. He added that Dowell’s administration of steroids was a response to bullying attacks that he received, when he was an overweight child. So, according to the defense attorney Len Hartnett, Brenton Dowell became addicted to bodybuilding and began to utilize steroids because he was an overweight child.
The judge Graeme Hicks was impressed by words of the defense attorney that presented experiences of Brenton Dowell in his childhood. He added 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 purchased steroids personal 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.

Incident that may promote changing steroid laws in UK

Georgina Howarth, a pathologist, confirmed that the death of Mohammed Belkhair, a 19-year person, had been caused by usage of anabolic steroids. She noticed that anabolic steroids had caused heart failure that had resulted in the death.
According to the doctor Howarth, if this teenager had not utilized steroids, he would have been alive today. She said that usage of steroids was the only reason of the death. The pathologist noted that the death of this teenager was a lesson for each person to stay far from such medicines.
Mohammed Belkhair’s sister found him vomiting in his room on May, 2011. The guy acknowledged that he had administered steroids. He died at the same day. It was reported that steroids had been found in his system.
According to several articles, DHEA and Tamoxifen were two steroids that were found in the system of the teenager. 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 preparation has been initially elaborated to treat individuals who experience breast cancer. It has become popular among sportspersons and bodybuilders who use steroids because of its ability to prevent aromatization of other medications.
It seems to be strange but nothing was reported about arrest of Mohammed Belkhair. This condition might contribute in his death. This guy was arrested on the night before his death by police officers. 4 different anabolic steroids were found in the room of this person. But the names of the steroids were not identified.
However the police encounter and arrest occurred some hours before the death of this guy, the pathologist Georgina Howarth didn’t investigate these conditions. Furthermore, she didn’t present any explanation about this aspect. Police officers reported nothing as well.
Since it was noticed that Mohammed Belkhair had ordered steroids per internet, the news related to dangers of buying steroids online were spread in the country. Thus, it turned out to be convenient for altering the laws in order to make purchases 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 believed that these amendments will be enacted before the Olympics, they are not still enacted.

Self-administration of steroids is not illegal in the UK

Officers of the UK will be not able to stop athletes importing steroids to the UK, when they come to participate in the 2012 Summer Olympics. However application of steroids is banned in sports, personal usage of these medications is not illegal in the UK. Just distribution of steroids is considered to be illicit in this country. Thus, if a person wants to import quantity of anabolic steroids which is evidentially large, he/she will not be allowed to do it.
Before Olympic Games took place in Australia, Canada and China, governments of these countries changed laws linked with import and usage of steroids at least temporally. But the British government refuses to change steroid legislation for the 2012 Olympic Games.
Ironically, while the government of the UK doesn’t want to make personal usage of steroids criminal, Britain sportspeople are banned for lifetime, if they administer anabolic steroids. When it comes to the WADA Code, sportspersons who use prohibited preparations are banned for two years.
The Olympic minister Hugh Robertson claims that it is necessary to have a universal policy related to sentencing. This minister insists on at least 4 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, confirms that some sanctions must be softened.
The Olympic minister acknowledges that there are different opinions in sports and it’s not well but he doesn’t ask Andy Parkinson to resign.
The spokesman for Hugh Robertson has stated that any sportsperson can have steroids in his/her luggage, when he/she arrives to London. But the quantity of steroids should confirm that he/she has them just for personal intake. The spokesperson has noticed that it is not illegal for a sportsperson to administer steroids under laws of the UK but if any sportsperson is caught taking banned medications, he/she will be punished under anti-doping laws.
The UKAD noted that they would cooperate with border control officials. Information about sportspersons will be utilized by anti-doping officers.
5, 000 drug test, including 1, 000 blood tests will be conducted by the International Olympic Committee.

Recent studies have shown that prolonged steroid use can result in heart dysfunctions

Prolonged intake of anabolic steroids can result in various heart dysfunctions. It enhances risks linked with heart failure. These affirmations have been noted in a research which has been presented in Circulation: Heart Failure, an American Heart Association journal.
Anabolic-androgenic steroids work like the hormone testosterone which occurs naturally and that is responsible for development of male sex characteristics.
The leader of the research Aaron L. Baggish claims that in addition to the factor that anabolic steroids are illicit, they are associated with negative consequences for health. He notices that it is the first time, when negative influence of prolonged intake of steroids on heart is clearly recognized.
The research demonstrated that the left ventricle in consumers of steroids was substantially weaker during contraction than in those who didn’t use steroids.
A left ventricle that works properly pumps out 55-70 % of the blood that fills the heart.
 12 users of steroids were enrolled in the study. It was demonstrated 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 experienced troubles linked with the function of the left ventricle.
The research displayed that ventricle relaxation among steroid users was reduced by about half. It was 0, 93 among steroids users; 1, 80 – among non-users. The structure of the left ventricle was similar in both groups: steroid users and non-users.
It was applied the method “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 twelve weightlifters at the age of about 40 that said that they used circa 675 mg of steroids per week for 9 years. The other group included weightlifters who didn’t apply 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 steroid users had more muscular physiques.
Although small number of steroid users has been included in the study, the results have shown that there is a close link between usage of steroids and heart impairment.
The scientists decided to conduct further researches in order to support the results of this study.
Baggish and his co-investigators think that people will comprehend that application of steroids can cause heart troubles and different unexplained heart disorders in young people.

Methods that can help bodybuilders to reach great levels

Bodybuilding is not included in glamorous sports. Any bodybuilder may support this statement. Those who are involved in bodybuilding spend much time at gyms, training; they prepare appropriate food and make continuous researches. What is this work done for? – Only for 30 seconds on stage. Of course, if bodybuilders reach high results, they obtain awards, praise, and admiration of others. Their photos are posted on covers of fit magazines. They become famous.
Unfortunately, the most of bodybuilders never reach this level because it is needed a lot of work and money for this purpose. But any bodybuilder hopes to achieve this level: to be a top bodybuilder, to get money and other awards. If you have any interest to learn what is needed for success in bodybuilding, you may look at Jay Cutler and some other individuals. You can also find out role of steroids for achievement of success in bodybuilding.
Jay Cutler is one of the most well-known bodybuilders in history. Moreover, 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 per day. Chicken breasts are at the center of his many meals.
It is interesting to note that Cutler spends more time for eating than for workouts. He lifts for about two hours and gets cardio an hour a day. Cutler states that his day differs essentially from thoughts of people about it. Individuals that are not involved in bodybuilding think that bodybuilders train 8 hours per day. They think that if they use 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 confirms that if anyone desires to achieve evident success in sports, he/she should utilize 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 medications. After some shows Ron Stevens decided to apply 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 to support their efforts and obtain titles of Mr. Olympia.
Actually, the most of dedicated bodybuilders have regular jobs and hope that they will achieve evident success one day.
Cutler had two jobs. He worked and spent every dollar he had for bodybuilding. Finally, he obtained great success. His every effort was paid off.
Meditating about Jay Cutler, any bodybuilder can be encouraged to hope that he will succeed obviously one day. Infamous bodybuilders may dream at least.

The UFC finds it impossible to follow the WADA rules about random drug testing

The UFC President Dana White tries to defend UFC efforts against administration of controlled substances.  The UFC President affirms that the UFC struggles seriously to push forbidden preparations out of sports. He affirms that they do more than any other sport organization for this need.
Unfortunately, statements of Dana White are pronounced just for public relations purposes. They are completely false. The UFC doesn’t do more than any other sport organization, struggling against administration of prohibited preparations.
Dana White thinks that it is impossible to perform random drug testing in the UFC. He notices that they have 375 fighters under contract. He notices 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, seeking these 375 individuals, in order to test them continually.
While The UFC President tries to prove that it is impossible to perform random drug testing of 375 UFC athletes, other sport organizations do it with their sportspersons. They perform random testing successfully.
It isn’t entirely clear what happens actually. Does Dana White try to mislead public about administration of doping products by the UFC fighters? 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 believes that the UFC does everything in order to avoid following the laws of the WADA. They have own rules and struggle against the WADA laws. Although the UFC affirms that they try to protect their sports from usage of banned medicines 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’ steroid case may lead to federal war on steroids

Mike Wallace, a celebrated 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 well-known figures. The most recent stories were connected with the baseball star Roger Clemens and accusations connected with application of anabolic steroids and HGH by this sportsperson. 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 Show 60 Minutes. Roger Clemens had to defense himself against accusations of his former personal coach Brian McNamee. This trainer accused Roger Clemens in application of anabolic steroids and HGH. He collaborated 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 applied steroids. He just convinced him to prove to others that he had administered neither steroids, nor HGH. Roger Clemens claimed that he would pull a tractor with his teeth, if he had used steroids.
The interview of Clemens was an unsuccessful public relations ploy for the attorney Rusty Hardin. It was not the best interview. But it renewed the interest after Wallace had died.
Actually, Wallace hosted much more interesting interviews during his career. The steroid interview with Roger Clemens was not the most interesting. Why did it draw all persons’ 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 defined the Watergate scandal as “perjury”. He listed such methods of Richard Nixon, as thefts, spying, obstruction of justice, etc. The scandal led to resignation of the president.
Wallace arranged also an interview with the Iranian leader Ayatollah Khomeini. Wallace named him a “lunatic”. But 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 acknowledged during the interview that executives of the company lied before the Congress about their knowledge linked with nature of nicotine.
However 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 can lead to federal struggle against steroids, the war on nicotine will never take place.

Specialists have discovered role of mustard for gaining muscle mass and reduction of fat

Some late researches have determined several benefits of mustard. Everybody knows that it is a good remedy that adds pleasant flavor to food. Moreover, it has been discovered that mustard can help to lose fat and improve physical appearance.
A research linked with 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 named “homobrassinolide” found in mustard and other related herbs has ability to increase lean muscle mass and energy in mammals.
28-Homobrassinolide is a brassinosteroid. It is a type of steroid which is contained in plants which are included in Brassica family. It has been known that it is capable to induce growing plants. But nobody has been aware about its role in mammals. The experts have discovered 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 enrolled 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 noted that animals who have been given homobrassinolide have gained significantly more muscle mass than those that have not been treated.
Increase of muscle mass indicates about a higher basal metabolic rate. Increased BMR is associated with great caloric burning which helps to stay lean.
So, the research has clearly displayed that homobrassinolide increases protein synthesis, enhances size and number of muscle fibers which play an essential role for enhancement of endurance.
Experts suppose that such plants, as mustard, can be used for more increased brassinosteroid content. It can help to have lean muscle mass, increase it and prevent several health troubles.
It is supposed that future supplement and medicine industry will elaborate products that will be efficacious in case of several diseases linked with muscle wasting. Such preparations can be applied as alternative medicines to synthetic steroids because the first ones will probably have minimal or no side effects.
Leaves of mustard have little calories. They are rich in antioxidants. Leaves of mustard have anti-inflammatory properties. Moreover, they represent an excellent source of iron, magnesium, fiber, selenium and phosphorous.
Mustard may be used for preparing salads, curds and tempering. It would be useful to take at least one teaspoon of mustard with water or meal in order to obtain several benefits.

Top athletes were taught by Dr. Beltran how to use steroids in order to avoid detection

Mossos d’Esqudra and Spain’s Policia Nacional conducted a steroid investigation that led to arrest of ten persons who were involved in a steroid chain. These individuals provided top amateur and professional sportspeople and even Olympic athletes with anabolic steroids, HGH, EPO, CERA and other related medicines.  The investigation was called “Operacion Skype”. The steroid ring was located in Barcelona.
The investigation was originally connected with the professional cyclist David Garcia Dapena that tested positive for EPO after the 2010 Vuelta a Espana. It was determined that the cyclist had increased hematocrit levels that indicated about administration of EPO.
Garcia didn’t deny administration of the banned medication. He collaborated with the police. David Garcia acknowledged that he had purchased preparations with performance-enhancing effects from the health care provider Alberto Beltran Nino.
It was defined that Beltran had been the leader of an organization focused on sophisticated doping. This organization supplied cyclists and other sportspeople with forbidden medications. It was also determined that some sportspersons 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 persons who purchased steroids and other prohibited preparations from this doping ring.
It was even earlier suspected that Beltran supplied sportspersons with steroids and other doping drugs and taught them how to avoid detection. This doctor was arrested in Italy after he was caught driving his car which contained steroids and other related medicines.
Nuno Ribeiro, a Portuguese professional cyclist, accused the doctor Beltran in injecting him with prohibited drugs after he tested positive for CERA in 2009.
The sprinter Jose Luis Blanco assisted in the steroid investigation which 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 sportsperson.
Nevertheless, the police suppose that he has set up a team of intermediaries in different countries. They have purchased steroids and other related medications and supplied top sportspeople with them.
Beltran was detained in Madrid in March 2012 by police. He was caught possessing AICAR and TB-500.
While no any athlete has tested positive for these drugs, it is supposed that several sportspersons have planned to apply these drugs.

What is it important to understand about AndroGel dosage for getting wanted results?

About 90 % of young prostitutes in Bangladesh use the corticosteroid Oradexon

Young females in Bangladesh who are involved in prostitution utilize steroids to add weight and bulk up. It has been reported by Reuters. The article’s headline contains the following words: “dark steroid secret”. It is described that prostitutes from Bangladesh utilize steroids for improvement of their appearances. Undoubtedly, the first thoughts that come in mind in this case are linked with usage of anabolic steroids. But reading the article completely and more attentively, every person can see that it is written not about anabolic steroids but about corticosteroids.
One of corticosteroids that are purchasable at pharmacies of Bangladesh is sold under the trade name Oradexon. It is not needed to have a prescription in order to buy this drug. Its price is circa 15 taka which equal to 0, 18 USD dollars. An alternative name of this drug is Dexamethasone. It is an anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant product which is directed for treatment of people that suffer various diseases. This preparation is over 25 times more potent that the natural steroid hormone cortisol.
90 % of prostitutes at the 15 legal cathouses from Bangladesh take the corticosteroid Oradexon. 90 % equal to 900 teenage female prostitutes who utilize this remedy regularly. They use it by own choice or are enforced to do it. Thus, some of them are enforced to apply it. But others use this medicine volitionally because it is said 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 utilize anabolic steroids. Sex workers take corticosteroids in order to improve physical appearance, add weight and increase appetite.
It is affirmed that Oradexon may give healthy appearance to consumers. Customers appreciate it. A lady that is involved in prostitution in Bangladesh claims that customers are seeking healthy ladies. Since she needs money in order to pay her bills and loans, she should have customers each 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, adverse effects which can be provoked because of corticosteroids are much more dangerous than those that may be provoked by application of anabolic steroids. Corticosteroids may suppress immune system, lead to 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 unwanted results of them.

D. J. Williams and Ryan McBean… Why are they banned?

The National Football League banned 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 six games. But they were not banned for usage of steroids. They didn’t test positive for steroids or other prohibited medicines. They were accused in providing “non-human” urine samples to the officer of drug testing.
D. J. William affirmed that he had never tested for any banned medicine during 8 years of his career. The football player noted that he was proud of his records. The linebacker of the NFL noticed that he was also proud of his manner in that he conducted himself, being a sportsman.
Peter Schaffer, the defensive attorney for McBean, stated that the NFL had violated rights of this player. He noticed that since McBean had never tested positive for any forbidden preparation, the NFL didn’t have any right to suspend him.
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 players of the NFL.
The players stated that the drug testing officer had violated certain rules linked with the procedure of collecting urine samples.
Schaffer noted that several similarities had been between his client and Ryan Braun. Braun won his appeal related to his suspension from 50 games for intake of testosterone. Ryan Braun could prove that Dino Laurenzi, the drug testing officer, violated steroid policy.
As for Laurenzi, he was defended and supported by various anti-doping agencies. The WADA also supported him. 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 players was rejected.

Some cases have shown that supplement industry should be controlled by the FDA

What may be called “a drug”? The FDA claims that a drug represents a substance; it is not a supplement. It is used for diagnosis, cure, prevention of illnesses, for proper influence on body’s functions. It is possible to conclude that a medication is a medication that has nothing common with politics and great money.
But it is possible certain confusion today. A law that has been introduced in 1994 by Senators Orrin Hatch and Tom Harkin has led to the confusion between dietary supplements and medicines. So, mega-billion dollar supplements industry has promoted developing the disorder in clear definitions. People’ ignorance and certain legislative expressions with doubled sense have played essential role in creation of following wrong conception: anything that is sold may be used without dangers.
This wrong conception caused various serious problems. For example, more than a year ago two young soldiers of the U. S. Army died due to usage of so-called “dietary supplements” Jack3d and OxyElite Pro. The case is still investigated. Actually, it has been set that those soldiers had applied an amphetamine-like synthetic substance that has been called “dimethylamylamine”. It affected their cardiovascular and nervous systems. Since it has altered function of bodies, it is a medicine. However it is a banned compound utilized by athletes, it is purchasable at the Vitamin Shoppe or GNC.
Health stores sell products that are similar to that compound mentioned above. They are sold as dietary supplements but it is not true.
Another example is DHEA. It is a steroid which may be transformed in consumers’ bodies into anabolic steroids or neurohormonal steroids. This aspect influences on physiological functions of body. Is it a dietary supplement actually?
Another product that is purchasable as a dietary supplement is RockHard Weekend. It contains various substances. But does anybody know which substances are contained in the bottle? May anybody be sure that they are safe for usage?
One of people’s mistakes is that they believe the following way: if any product is derived from 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 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 which is considered to be one of the most toxicant substances on the Earth is derived from a castor been roots. That’s why it is necessary to know what you use in order to avoid using substances which contain any poison, regardless they are from herbs or not.
Why are companies permitted to sell medicines as if they were dietary supplemenets? Dietary supplements don’t pass any FDA control. Here we may say about affirmations with doubled sense. The Hatch-Harken law allows the supplement industry to introduce products which are labeled as supplements. But are they actually supplements? Some medications are purchasable, being labeled as dietary supplements. But it is wrong completely. These products can be unsafe.
Does anybody believe that anabolic steroids and other related drugs may be labeled as supplements? Do they supplement or treat? A term was introduced 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 intends to establish control over dietary supplements. There will be a requirement for all new supplements to be safe.
Pharmaceutical companies spend large sums of dollars in order to define whether new drugs are safe. Some of them fail to be called “safe” because of serious undesirable results. 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. Actually, they should have the same regulations like those which are established for pharmaceutical companies.

Coaches have the most significant influence on decisions of young athletes to take steroids

Brian McNamee confirms that trainers are the chief individuals who induce usage of anabolic steroids. The convicted distributor of steroids notes that coaches have the most relevant influence on decisions of young athletes to take banned preparations. Their influence is larger than one of street dealers that offer forbidden drugs for sales, trying to convince young sportspersons that they may have great success due to administration of these medications. Brian McNamee supposes that coaches and the society teach young athletes that they must win at any cost. This factor pressures students that go info sports. It induces causing their decision to administer 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 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 reported that he stored all syringes and vials that were used for injecting Clemens with steroids during circa seven years. He supported accusations of federal prosecutors against Clemens.
The testimony of McNamee promoted publishing the Mitchell Report on steroids in the Major League Baseball. The Report was worth of 20 million dollars. It was publicized in December 2007. Statements of Brian McNamee and Kirk Radomski were the base for writing the report. They provided evidence of steroid use 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 says the story connected with Clemens.
However it was declared a mistrial in the 1st  trial linked with the case of Roger Clemens, it was scheduled a new trial.

Shaquille O’Neal and Jose Canseco discuss their possibility to fight against each other in a ring of mixed martial arts

It has been recently 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 him seriously. Only now Jose Canseco began to take him seriously.
A lot of 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 have a steroid test before starting playing in this team. But as it is known, he administers Testosterone Cypionate and HCG that are recommended by his doctor for testosterone replacement therapy. Although he has justified medical purposes for administration of these medications, he must get some specified documents to be allowed to play professional baseball. While his fate linked with playing professional baseball is not yet decided, he wants to fight against O’Neal in a match.
O’Neal has noted 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 possesses own secret methods and he hopes that he has ability to neutralize effects of Jose Canseco which are caused by application of Testosterone Cypionate.
It was scheduled that Jose Canseco would fight against Lenny Dykstra, a former player of the MLB. When this person played professional baseball, he also applied 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 done steroid revolution in baseball.
Jeff Scott, a bodybuilder from Florida, reported that he supplied Dykstra with preparations that increase performance at sums of 20, 000 dollars. He also noticed that he injected Dykstra with steroids numerous times.
But the fight between Dykstra and Jose Canseco never happened because Dykstra was accused in thefts, false financial statements and possession of controlled substances. Finally, he was imprisoned.
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 claims that 2-year ban is not sufficient penalty for steroid use

The British Olympic Association put efforts to justify itself for the aspect that it violates rules of the World Anti-Doping Agency. According to laws of the WADA, punishment for application of anabolic steroids and other related drugs should be the same around the  world. The punishment which is indicated for an athlete who has administered forbidden preparations for the first time is sentencing to 2-year bans.
But the British Olympic Association claims that such penalty is not sufficient. The BOA sentences steroid users for life-time bans from participating in the Olympics. The WADA confirms that this law of the BOA contradicts the WADA Code which is unvarying.
Lord Moynihan, the chairman of the BOA, hasn’t agreed to change the law. As a result, a hearing has been scheduled to be at a Court of Arbitration for Sports in London.
The sportspersons who had utilized prohibited substances were banned by the International Olympic Committee from participations in Olympics under the Osaka Rule.
Moynihan said that the law of the BOA linked with life-time bans wouldn’t be cancel, if even the CAS would not support it. The BOA claims that it has the best laws.
Moynihan supported statements written by the former British Olympic decathlete Daley Thompson that confirmed that British laws linked with usage of prohibited medications were the best. He claimed that they shouldn’t be overthrown by the rest part of the world.
Delay Thompson believes that dopers should be punished strictly. They must be suspended for the whole life. According to his statements, the BOA shouldn’t agree with the rule of the WADA to sentence dopers only for 2-year bans. He notices that the Britain desires to have the highest sport standards. He notices that if the rest part of the world refuses 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 pronounced by Daley, noting that steroid testing has been just 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 who 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, anybody must follow them.
The British athletes Dwain Chambers and David Millar that have been earlier banned for intake of banned medicines wait for the decisions related to this issue. They want to know whether they will be allowed to participate in the 2012 London Olympics.

Do you want to chose which version to utilize: Testosterone Propionate vs Enanthate?
Many steroid users, especially those that administer or plan to use testosterone, often ask the following question: “Which form is more suitable for athletic purposes: Testosterone Propionate vs Enanthate?” These versions have various molecular structures that influence on differences that are between these two forms of testosterone. Knowing structures of these versions of testosterone you may be capable answer on the following questions: “Which is less soluble: Testosterone Propionate vs Enanthate?” and “Which version has longer duration of action?” Having more carbons in the chain, Enanthate is less soluble in water and has longer duration of action than Propionate. These differences may help you to choose a form which is  convenient for you.

Nobody knew about Patrick Arnold’s decision to manufacture 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 guy that was 24 years old, was alone in a room. He was mixing various special thickeners in order to enhance viscosity of some liquids. Patrick Arnold was doing this job a lot of time. So, he had enough time to think over his fate, condemning it. This guy was unhappy that the job was bothering and nothing interesting happened. But there was no any other job.
Although his future was before him, several months passed before he saw the way.
Patrick Arnold was a zealous weightlifter. But he has stopped much time ago to put his efforts in order to increase muscles. Nevertheless, everyday after his job he used to go to a gym where he had workouts and talked with other athletes. Their conversions were often about anabolic steroids. Arnold had specialized in chemistry at the University of New Haven. That’s why  the conversions about steroids made him to meditate.
One day after this guy had stirred thickeners he went to the chemistry library and looked at molecular structures of the steroids which were described in some fitness magazines. Anabolic steroids had been already proclaimed to be forbidden medications. But there was still enough information about these products.
Staring at molecular structures of steroids, Patrick Arnold was thinking why he was doing that awful job. This guy thought that it would be much more pleasant for him to try producing steroids himself. He ordered certain chemicals through the company. He needed to have them for manufacture of steroids. No one was aware what he wanted to do.
At the beginning Arnold had several troubles. Progress didn’t appear at once. For example, he wanted to make a medicine that had to have a crystalline structure. But it turned out to be that he got liquid that was like sticky oil. He understood that it indicated that potentially toxic impurities and reactants were not separated from the brew. Step by step he became more knowledgeable. Arnold started to utilize solvents to wash impurities and substrates away. He could manufacture desired preparations. Their crystalline-like structures proved that they were purified.

Do you want to chose which form to take: Testosterone Propionate vs Enanthate?
Many consumers of steroids, especially those who take or want to administer testosterone, frequently ask the following question: “Which form is more proper for athletic purposes: Testosterone Propionate vs Enanthate?” These forms possess various chemical structures that influence on differences that are between these 2 forms of testosterone. Knowing structures of these forms of testosterone you can have ability answer on the following questions: “Which is more soluble: Testosterone Propionate vs Enanthate?” and “Which version has longer duration of action?” Having more carbons in the chain, Enanthate is less soluble in water and has longer half life than Propionate. These differences may help you to choose a form which is  convenient for you.
