Jordan Matechuk wanted to escape from his depression with help of steroid use

The Canadian football player Jordan Matechuk was busted by the US Customs and Border Patrol (CBP). 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. The football player said that his depression was responsible for the decision to get and administer anabolic steroids.
The football player said that he used anabolic steroids and marijuana in order to be capable to escape from his depression. Matechuk claimed that earlier he had used anti-depressant drugs. Discontinuing applying anti-depressant drugs probably led to intake of steroids.
Matechuk noted that he experienced depression. He started to apply anabolic steroids and marijuana in order to feel better. Jordan Matechuk acknowledged that he was responsible for this condition. He wouldn’t have stopped using anti-depressant preparations. But he stopped administering them. This condition resulted in steroid use.
The football player Jordan Matechuk pleaded guilty to possession of steroids and marijuana.
Although he faced up to 2-year imprisonment, he was sentenced to 90 years in jail. But he was released after he served only 60 days.
Matechuk stated that there were several other circumstances but he decided to keep them out of public knowledge.
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. Jordan Matechuk wrote about his shame for the arrest related to possession and usage of steroids. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats didn’t desire to receive the consumer of steroids back to the team.
But the Winnipeg Blue Bombers decided to provide him the second chance. Thus, he was happily accepted by this team.

Australian bodybuilder that imported over 3 kg of raw steroid powder was sentenced just to fine and probation

Brenton Dowell, an Australian bodybuilder, was caught possessing and smuggling large 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 believed that this bodybuilder would be sentenced to prison. But Dowell avoided imprisonment successfully.
The Australian Customs and Border Protection Service claimed that Brenton Dowell had attempted to import illegally more than 3 kg of testosterone powder. The packages that contained the raw powder were mailed in September, October and November 2011. They were shipped to three various places: to Dowell’s home, to his father and his stepfather.
In fact, such large amounts of raw testosterone powder could be purchased just for manufacture of anabolic steroids by underground labs for selling them on the black market. 3, 000 g of raw steroid powder could be utilized for getting of 1500 10-ml vials with ready medicines.
Len Hartnett, the defense attorney for Brenton Dowell, claimed that the testosterone powder had been bought for his client’s personal application. He noticed that Dowell’s intake of steroids was caused by bullying attacks which he received, when he was an overweight child. Thus, according to Len Harnett, Brenton Dowell became addicted to bodybuilding and started to take steroids because he was an overweight kid.
The judge Graeme Hicks was influenced by words of the defense attorney Len Harnett who presented experiences of Dowell in his childhood. The judge mentioned that it could be concluded that Brenton 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 believed that Brenton Dowell had bought steroids personal administration and for sales to his friends in order to pay off personal use.
The bodybuilder Brenton Dowell was enforced to pay a fine of 10, 000 dollars and to serve probation of two years.

Misleading news: usage of steroids resulted in death of a teenager

Georgina Howarth, a pathologist, affirmed that the death of Mohammed Belkhair, a 19-year person, 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 doctor Howarth, if this boy had not applied steroids, he would have been alive today. She affirmed that administration of steroids was the only reason of the death. The pathologist added that the death of this teenager was a lesson for every person to be far from such medications.
Mohammed Belkhair’s sister found him vomiting in his bedroom on May, 2011. The boy acknowledged that he had taken 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 in fact, the news is misleading. Tamoxifen is not included in anabolic steroids. It has been originally introduced to treat persons that suffer from breast cancer. It has become popular among sportspersons and bodybuilders who take steroids because of its ability to prevent aromatization of other medications.
It seems to be curiously but nothing was reported about arrest of Mohammed Belkhair. This factor might contribute in his death. This guy was arrested on the night before his death by police officers. 4 types of 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 several hours before the death of this boy, the doctor Georgina Howarth didn’t investigate these factors. Furthermore, she didn’t provide any explanation about this aspect. Police officers revealed nothing too.
Since it was noticed that Mohammed Belkhair had ordered steroids via internet, 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 purchases of steroids online illegal in Britain. The British government intends to make personal import of steroids per mail and per internet criminal. It will be in near future. Although it is said that these laws will be enacted before the 2012 London Olympics, they are not still enacted.

WADA and British government can’t achieve agreement related to import and usage of steroids

Officials of the British government will be not able to stop sportspeople importing steroids to the UK, when they come to take part in the 2012 London Olympics. However intake of steroids is prohibited in sports, personal usage of these drugs is not illegal in the UK. Just sale of steroids is considered to be illegal in this country. So, if someone desires to import amount of anabolic steroids that is significantly large, he/she will not be permitted to do it.
Before Olympic Games took place in Australia, Canada and China, governments of these countries modified legislation linked with import and administration of steroids at least temporally. But the British government doesn’t want to change steroid legislation for the 2012 Summer Olympics.
Ironically, however the government of the UK doesn’t want to make personal administration of steroids criminal, Britain sportspeople are banned for lifetime, if they utilize anabolic steroids. As for the WADA Code, sportspersons who use forbidden products are banned for two years.
Hugh Robertson, the Olympic minister, confirms that it is important to have a universal law related to sentencing. He insists on at least four years or even longer.  However this minister is supported by the British Olympic Association, the UK Anti-Doping Agency doesn’t agree with such harsh punishment. The CEO of the UK Anti-Doping Agency Andi Parkinson believes that certain sanctions must be softened.
The Olympic minister realizes that there are different opinions 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 athlete can have steroids in his/her luggage, when he/she arrives to London. But the amount of steroids must confirm that he/she possesses them just for personal intake. The spokesperson has noted that it is not criminal for an athlete to administer steroids under laws of the UK but if any athlete is caught using prohibited preparations, he/she will be punished under anti-doping laws.
The UKAD noticed that they would cooperate with border control officers. Information about sportspersons will be utilized by anti-doping officials.
5, 000 drug test, including 1, 000 blood tests will be conducted by the International Olympic Committee.

Steroid users have high risks linked with heart failure

Prolonged intake of anabolic steroids can cause various heart problems. It enhances risks linked with heart failure. These statements have been noted in a study that has been written in Circulation: Heart Failure, an American Heart Association journal.
Anabolic-androgenic steroids act like the hormone testosterone that occurs naturally and which is responsible for development of male sex characteristics.
The leader of the study Aaron L. Baggish confirms that in addition to the factor that anabolic steroids are illicit, they are associated with unwanted effects for health. He notices that it is the first time, when negative effect of prolonged intake of steroids on heart is clearly recognized.
The study demonstrated that the left ventricle in users of steroids was essentially weaker during contraction than in those who didn’t use steroids.
A left ventricle which works correctly pumps out 55-70 % of the blood which fills the heart.
 12 consumers of steroids were implicated 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 disorders connected with the function of the left ventricle.
The study manifested that ventricle relaxation among users of steroids was lowered by circa half. It was 0, 93 among users of steroids; 1, 80 – among non-steroid users. The structure of the left ventricle was the same in both groups: users of steroids and non-users.
It was used the test “Doppler echocardiography” for examination 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 confirmed that they applied 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 similar risks linked with heart disorders. But they had differences in body weight and muscle size. The steroid users had more muscular appearance.
However small number of steroid users has been examined, the results have demonstrated that there is a strong link between application of steroids and heart impairment.
The experts decided to conduct further researches in order to support the results of this research.
Baggish and his colleagues hope that people will comprehend that application of steroids may lead to heart diseases and different unexplained heart disorders in young people.

The most of bodybuilders never achieve essential success in sports

Bodybuilding is not included in glamorous sports. Any bodybuilder may support this statement. Persons that are involved in bodybuilding spend much time at gyms, training; they prepare appropriate meal and make endless researches. What is this work done for? – Only for 30 seconds on stage. Undoubtedly, if bodybuilders achieve high results, they get awards, praise, and admiration of others. Their pictures are posted on covers of fit magazines. They become famous.
Unfortunately, the most of bodybuilders never achieve this level because it is required a lot of work and money for this goal. But any bodybuilder dreams about this level: to be a top bodybuilder, to get money and other prizes. If you have any interest to learn what is required for success in bodybuilding, you can look at Jay Cutler and some other individuals. You may 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 got Mr. Olympia titles 4 times. This bodybuilder spends much time for sports. He confirms that he doesn’t make plans. He eats around the clock. Jay Cutler consumes 4, 000 – 7, 000 calories daily. Chicken breasts are at the center of his much food.
It is interesting to note that Jay Cutler spends more time for consumption of meals than for trainings. He lifts for about two hours and gets cardio an hour daily. Jay Cutler claims that his day differs essentially from thoughts of people about it. Individuals who are not involved in bodybuilding believe 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 notices that steroids are not everything in bodybuilding but they play an essential role in it. He confirms that if anybody desires to reach obvious success in sports, he/she should administer steroids. Ron Stevens, who is in the sport 15 years, supports the affirmation of Jay Cutler about steroids. He notices that it is not possible to compete without application of these medicines. After some shows Ron Stevens made the decision to apply steroids.
Stevens is also a dedicated bodybuilder like Jay Cutler. He consumes 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 enough money to support their efforts and receive titles of Mr. Olympia.
Actually, the most of dedicated bodybuilders have regular jobs and hope that they will achieve obvious success one day.
As for Jay Cutler, he had two jobs. He worked and spent each dollar he had for bodybuilding. Finally, he reached great success. His every effort was paid off.
Pondering about Jay Cutler, any bodybuilder may be encouraged to hope that he will succeed significantly one day. Infamous bodybuilders can dream at least.

Dana White wants probably to hide doping of the UFC athletes from public

Dana White, the UFC President, tries to defend UFC efforts against administration of prohibited drugs.  The UFC President confirms that the UFC struggles seriously to push banned medicines out of sports. He claims that they do more than any other sport organization for this goal.
Unfortunately, affirmations of the UFC President are pronounced only for public relations purposes. They are totally false. The UFC doesn’t do more than any other sport organization, struggling against administration of forbidden substances.
White believes that it is impossible to perform random drug testing in the UFC. He notices that they have 375 fighters under contract. He notes 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 various countries, looking for these 375 guys, in order to test them continually.
While Dana White wants to convince others that it is impossible to perform random drug testing of 375 UFC guys, other sport organizations do it with their athletes. They perform random testing successfully.
It isn’t wholly clear what happens actually. Does Dana White want to mislead public about usage of forbidden preparations by the UFC fighters? Or is he ignorant entirely, when it comes to the Code 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 rules of the WADA. They have own points of views and struggle against the WADA laws. Although the UFC confirms that they try to protect their sports from administration of prohibited preparations by the WADA Code, the reality demonstrates that it is not true. The UFC rules are miserable in comparison with those of the WADA. Try to see it!

Mike Wallace convinced Roger Clemens to defend himself against accusations linked with steroid use in the Show 60 Minutes

Mike Wallace, an excellent investigative journalist, who was one of the original correspondents of CBS’ 60 Minutes died, when he was 93 years old. This reporter hosted brilliant interviews with world prominent figures. The latest stories were linked with the baseball star Roger Clemens and accusations related to intake of anabolic steroids and HGH by this athlete. Mike Wallace’s last appearance on TV was connected 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 coach accused Roger Clemens in intake of anabolic steroids and HGH. He cooperated with Mitchell Report investigators, when they tried to find out the widespread of steroid use in the Major League Baseball.
Wallace didn’t enforce Clemens to tell that he took steroids. He just encouraged him to prove to others that he had administered neither steroids, nor HGH. Clemens claimed that he would be able to pull a tractor with his teeth, if he had utilized steroids.
The interview of Clemens was a black public relations maneuver for the attorney Rusty Hardin. It was not the best interview. But it renewed the interest after Wallace’s death.
In fact, Wallace presented much more significant interviews during his career. The steroid interview with Roger Clemens was not the most significant. Why did it draw every person’s attention?
Other interviews of Wallace are quite significant. Wallace interviewed the lawyer of the president Richard Nixon and the assistant to the president for Domestic Affairs John Ehrlichman during the Watergate scandal. Wallace named the Watergate scandal “perjury”. He named such methods of Richard Nixon, as thefts, spying, obstruction of justice, etc. The scandal caused resignation of the president.
Wallace arranged also an interview with the Iranian leader Ayatollah Khomeini. Wallace identified him as a “lunatic”. But he was quoting the president Anwar el-Sadat of Egypt.
Another individual that was interviewed by Wallace was the Vice President of Research and Development at a tobacco company. Jeffrey Wigand admitted that executives of the company lied before the Congress about their knowledge connected with nature of nicotine.
Although these interviews were significant, numerous 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 can lead to federal war on steroids, the war on nicotine will never exist.

“Homobrassinolide” found in mustard and other related plants may enhance lean muscle mass in mammals

Several late studies have determined several benefits of mustard. It is known by everyone that it is a good remedy that adds pleasant flavor to food. Furthermore, it has been set up that mustard may 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 reported under results of the study that a compound which is called “homobrassinolide” found in mustard and other related herbs is able to enhance lean muscle mass and endurance in mammals.
28-Homobrassinolide represents 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 has capacity to promote growing plants. But nobody has been aware about its role in mammals. The specialists have defined that homobrassinolide can cause anabolic effects in mammals. It induces increasing protein synthesis, stimulates appetite and enhances muscle mass through increase of number and size of muscle fibers in animals.
Healthy rats have been involved 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 defined that animals who have been given homobrassinolide have acquired essentially more muscle mass than those that have not been given this compound.
Enhancement of muscle size indicates about a higher basal metabolic rate. Enhanced BMR is associated with great caloric burning which helps to remain lean.
Thus, the research has clearly shown that homobrassinolide enhances protein synthesis, enhances size and number of muscle fibers that play a great role for enhancement of strength.
Experts suppose that such plants, as mustard, may be used for higher brassinosteroid content. It can help to have lean muscle mass, enhance it and prevent several health troubles.
It is suggested that future supplement and medicine industry will introduce products which will be efficacious in case of several illnesses linked with muscle wasting. Such preparations can be used as alternative medicines to synthetic steroids because the first ones will probably have minimal or no unwanted reactions.
Leaves of mustard are low-calorie. They are rich in antioxidants. Leaves of mustard cause anti-inflammatory effects. Furthermore, they represent an excellent source of iron, magnesium, fiber, selenium and phosphorous.
Mustard 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 obtain certain positive effects.

Dr. Beltran was the leader of the steroid organization focused on sophisticated doping

Mossos d’Esqudra and Spain’s Policia Nacional conducted a steroid investigation that resulted in arrest of ten persons that were involved in a steroid ring. These persons supplied top amateur and professional sportspersons and even Olympic athletes with anabolic steroids, HGH, EPO, CERA and other related drugs.  The operation was called “Operacion Skype”. The steroid ring was settled in Barcelona.
The investigation was originally connected with the professional cyclist David Garcia Dapena who tested positive for EPO after the 2010 Vuelta a Espana. It was determined that David Garcia Dapena had high hematocrit levels that indicated about application of EPO.
Garcia didn’t deny usage of the controlled substance. He collaborated with the police officers. The cyclist acknowledged that he had bought preparations 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 sportspersons with banned preparations. It was also determined that several sportspeople who 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 athletes that purchased steroids and other forbidden medicines from this doping ring.
It was even earlier suspected that Beltran supplied sportspersons with steroids and other related products and taught them how to avoid being caught. This doctor was arrested in Italy after he was caught driving his car that contained 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.
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.
Nevertheless, the police suspect that he has set up a team of intermediaries in different countries. They have purchased steroids and other related drugs and supplied top athletes with them.
Beltran was detained in Madrid in March 2012 by police officials. He was caught possessing AICAR and TB-500.
However no any athlete has tested positive for these preparations, it is believed that several sportspersons have intended to take these products.

What have you to know about AndroGel dosage for acquiring wanted benefits?

High popularity of corticosteroids among prostitutes in Bangladesh

Young females in Bangladesh that are involved in prostitution take 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 use steroids in order to look better. Of course, the first thoughts that come in mind in this case are related to administration of anabolic steroids. But reading the article completely and more attentively, each person can notice 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 required to have a prescription in order to get this product. Its price is about 15 taka which equal to 0, 18 USD dollars. Another name of this medication is Dexamethasone. It is an anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant product that is directed for treatment of patients that experience various illnesses. This medicine is over 25 times more potent that the natural steroid hormone cortisol.
90 % of sex workers at the 15 legal whorehouses from Bangladesh take the corticosteroid Oradexon. 90 % equal to 900 young sex workers who utilize this remedy continually. They take it by own choice or are enforced to do it. So, some of them are enforced to take it. But others administer this preparation volitionally because it is said that corticosteroids are able to enhance strength and improve health.
It may seem to be ironically but prostitutes from Bangladesh  who use corticosteroids have the same goals like those which encourage bodybuilders to take anabolic steroids. Sex workers utilize corticosteroids in order to improve physical appearance, add weight and increase appetite.
It is affirmed that Oradexon is able to give healthy appearance to consumers. Customers appreciate it. A woman that is involved in prostitution in Bangladesh affirms that customers are looking for healthy girls. Since she needs money in order 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. Furthermore, she tries to earn money for her son.
Actually, undesirable reactions which may appear because of corticosteroids are much more dangerous than those which may appear due to usage of anabolic steroids. Corticosteroids can 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 side results of them.

D. J. Williams and Ryan McBean were banned from 6 games

The National Football League suspended 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 performance-enhancing drugs. They were accused in providing “non-human” urine samples to the officer of drug testing.
D. J. William claimed that he had never tested for any prohibited product during 8 years of his career. The linebacker mentioned that he was proud of his records. The football player claimed that he was also proud of his manner in that he conducted himself, being an athlete.
Peter Schaffer, the defensive attorney for McBean, stated that the NFL had violated rights of this player. He noted that since McBean had never tested positive for any forbidden substance, the NFL didn’t have any right to sentenced him to ban.
Peter Schaffer noticed that he wanted to make it clear that neither D. J. Williams, nor Ryan McBean tested positive for prohibited drugs.
A lawsuit was filed in Denver County Court against suspensions of these football players.
The players stated that the drug testing officer had violated certain rules linked with the procedure of collecting urine samples.
Schaffer noted that some similarities had been between his client and Ryan Braun. Braun won his appeal linked with 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 different 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 wrong doing his duty.
At the hearing the NFL administrators acknowledged that the drug testing officer violated the chain of custody for urine samples.
Nevertheless, the appeal on behalf of the players was rejected.

The FDA intends to regulate supplement industry

What can be called “a drug”? The FDA confirms that a medication represents a substance; it is not a supplement. It is taken for diagnosis, treatment, prevention of illnesses, for appropriate influence on body’s functions. It is possible to note that a medicine is a medicine which has nothing to do with politics and great money.
But you may come across certain confusion today. A law that has been established in 1994 by Senators Orrin Hatch and Tom Harkin has caused the confusion between dietary supplements and medications. Thus, mega-billion dollar supplements industry has promoted causing the disorder in clear definitions. People’ ignorance and some legislative expressions with doubled sense have played great role in creation of following conception: anything that is sold is safe.
This wrong conception led to various serious cases. For example, over a year ago two young soldiers of the U. S. Army died as a result of usage of so-called “supplements” Jack3d and OxyElite Pro. The case is still investigated. In fact, it has been made clear 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 drug. Although it is a forbidden compound used by athletes, it is available at the Vitamin Shoppe or GNC.
Health stores sell preparations which are similar to that compound mentioned above. They are labeled as dietary supplements but it is not true.
Another product is DHEA. It represents a steroid that may be converted in consumers’ systems into anabolic steroids or neurohormonal steroids. This factor influences on physiological functions of body. Is it a supplement really?
Another product that is labeled as a dietary supplement is RockHard Weekend. It contains different compounds. But does anyone know which compounds are contained in the bottle? Can anybody assure that they are safe for intake?
One of people’s mistakes is that they believe the following way: if any product is derived from plants, it is safe for application. Many persons claim that such supplements can’t affect body’s functions. It is wrong to think this way. There are plants that are toxicant. It is not permitted to consume them.
Hemlock was the poison that led to Socrates’ death. It was derived from certain herb. Ricin that is considered 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 avoid using substances that contain any poison, regardless they are from herbs or not.
Why are companies allowed to offer for sales medications as if they were supplements? 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 elaborate substances that are labeled as supplements. But are they actually supplements? Some medicines are sold, being labeled as supplements. But it is wrong totally. These substances may be unsafe.
Does anyone believe that anabolic steroids and other related medications can be marketed as dietary supplements? Do they supplement or cure? 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 supplements. There will be a requirement for all new supplements to be safe.
Pharmaceutical companies spend large sums of dollars in order to set whether new medicines are safe. Some of them fail to be called “safe” because of serious negative results. But as for manufacturers of dietary supplements, they don’t have these problems because there do not have such regulations in supplement industry.
Supplement requirements are connected with money and not with science. In fact, they should have the same requirements like those that are established for pharmaceutical companies.

Why do young athletes make the decision to use steroids?

Brian McNamee says that trainers are the main individuals that induce administration of anabolic steroids. The convicted distributor of steroids claims that coaches have the most relevant influence on decisions of young sportspersons to apply prohibited medicines. Their influence is larger than one of street dealers that offer prohibited products for sales, trying to convince young persons that they may succeed due to application of these products. Brian McNamee suggests that coaches and the society teach young sportspeople that they should win at any cost. This factor pressures students that are involved in sports. It induces causing their decision to use 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 received an honorarium of 200 dollars. McNamee donated 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 stored all syringes and vials which were used for injecting Clemens with steroids during circa 7 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 publicized in December 2007. Affirmations of Brian McNamee and Kirk Radomski represented the base for writing the report. They provided evidence linked with application of steroids in professional baseball. These persons were enforced to collaborate with investigators of the Mitchell Report. It was their agreement that was reached 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 report details linked with the case of Roger Clemens during the Nassau Counselors Association. But the time will come, when he reports the story about Clemens.
Although it was declared a mistrial in the first trial related to the case of Roger Clemens, it was scheduled another trial.

However Jose Canseco uses steroids, Shaquille O’Neal challenges him to fight at a match of mixed martial arts

It has been recently reported that Jose Canseco and Shaquille O’Neal have discussed their possibility to fight against each other in a match of mixed martial arts. O’Neal challenged him last year but Jose Canseco didn’t take the challenge seriously. Only now Jose Canseco changed his attitude.
Many people believe 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 stated, he takes Testosterone Cypionate and HCG which are recommended by his doctor for testosterone replacement therapy. Although he has justified medical needs for intake of these medicines, he has to obtain several specific documents to be allowed to play professional baseball. While his fate linked with playing professional baseball is not yet decided, he desires to fight against O’Neal in a match.
Shaquille O’Neal has reported that he is ready to fight against Jose Canseco. He reported that he had challenged Canseco long ago.
Shaquille O’Neal doesn’t trouble that Jose Canseco administers 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.
Jose Canseco was scheduled to fight against the former player of the MLB Lenny Dykstra. When this guy played professional baseball, he also took anabolic steroids.
Randall Lane notices in his book “The Zeroes: My Misadventures in the Decade Wall Street Went Insane” that Lenny Dykstra has acknowledged that he administered anabolic steroids. Dykstra told Lane that Jose Canseco and he had promoted causing steroid revolution in baseball.
Jeff Scott, a bodybuilder from Florida, confirmed that he supplied Lenny Dykstra with performance-enhancing drugs at sums of 20, 000 dollars. He also noticed that he injected Dykstra with steroids many 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 medicines. Finally, he was sentenced to jail.
O’Neil offered to fight against Jose Canseco instead of Dykstra. He asked the UFC’s president Dana White to arrange a match with Jose Canseco. Jose Canseco accepted the challenge of O’Neil.

The BOA doesn’t want to agree with the whole world

The British Olympic Association put efforts to justify itself for the aspect that it violates Code of the World Anti-Doping Agency. According to rules of the WADA, punishment for administration of anabolic steroids and other related products have to be the same around the  world. The punishment which is indicated for a sportsperson who has taken forbidden substances for the first time is sentencing to suspension of 2 years.
But the British Olympic Association confirms that such punishment isn’t good enough. The BOA sentences steroid users for life-time bans from taking part in the Olympic Games. The WADA claims that this rule of the BOA contradicts the WADA Code which 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 prohibited medications were banned by the International Olympic Committee from participations in Olympics under the Osaka Rule.
The chairman of the BOA claimed that the law of the BOA related to life-time suspensions wouldn’t be cancel, if even the CAS would not support it. The BOA confirms that it has the best laws.
Moynihan supported statements written by the former British Olympic decathlete Daley Thompson who claimed that British rules linked with administration of prohibited preparations were superior. He confirmed that they shouldn’t be overthrown by the rest part of the world.
Delay Thompson confirms that cheaters must be punished harshly. They should be banned for the whole life. According to his affirmations, the BOA shouldn’t agree with the law of the WADA to sentence dopers just for 2-year suspensions. He believes that the Britain wants to have the highest sport standards. He notes that if the rest part of the world refuses to have high standards, it doesn’t mean that Britain has to follow their reduced levels.
David Howman, the director general of the WADA, criticizes the opinion proclaimed by Daley, noticing that steroid testing has been only on its early level of development, when he has won his gold medals in Olympics in Moscow and Los Angeles.
Travis Tygart, the CEO of the US Anti-Doping Agency, blames the BOA for its refusal to submit to the rules of the WADA. It seems to be strange that Travis Tygart that always criticizes dopers blames the BOA for the strict rule.
The CEO of the US Anti-Doping Agency states that since international laws have been once established and all have agreed to them, anybody must obey them.
The British athletes Dwain Chambers and David Millar who have been earlier banned for usage of controlled substances wait for the conclusions linked with this issue. They want to know whether they will be allowed to participate in the 2012 London Olympics.

Gradual progress of Patrick Arnold

Nobody from New Jersey desires to be implicated in a low-paying job which is connected with production of chemicals that are used in shampoos and hair gels. Let tell you what has happened in this state in 1994.
Patrick Arnold, a person that was 24 years old, was alone in a room. He was mixing several special thickeners in order to enhance viscosity of several solutions. This guy was doing this job a lot of time. So, he had enough time to think about his fate, blaming it. This guy was unhappy that the job was bothering and nothing interesting happened. But there was no any other place to go.
However his future was before him, several months passed before he saw the way.
Patrick Arnold was a glowing weightlifter. But he has stopped much time ago to put his efforts in order to become bigger. Nonetheless, every day after his job he used to go to a gym where he had trainings and had discussions with other guys. Their discussions were frequently linked with anabolic steroids. Arnold had specialized in chemistry at the University of New Haven. That’s why  the discussions connected with steroids made him to meditate.
One day after Arnold had stirred thickeners he went to the chemistry library and looked at molecular structures of the steroids which were presented in several fitness magazines. Anabolic steroids had been already proclaimed to be banned drugs. But there was still sufficient information about these products.
Staring at molecular structures of steroids, Arnold was meditating why he was doing that uninteresting job. He thought that it would be much better for him to try producing steroids himself. Arnold ordered several chemicals through the company. It was required to have them for manufacture of steroids. No one knew what he wanted to do.
At the beginning Arnold endured certain problems. Progress didn’t appear at once. For example, he wanted to make a medication that had to possess a crystalline structure. But it turned out to be that he got liquid that was like sticky oil. He understood that it meant that potentially toxic impurities and reactants were not separated from the brew. Step by step he became more versed. He started to utilize solvents in order to wash impurities and reagents away. He could make desired products. Their crystalline structures demonstrated that they had needed level of purity.
