Jordan Matechuk: there have been some conditions linked with steroid use that are kept confidential

Jordan Matechuk, a Canadian football player was busted by the US Customs and Border Patrol (CBP). He was caught having more than 540 pills 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 affirmed that his depression was responsible for the decision to purchase and utilize anabolic steroids.
Matechuk noticed that he used anabolic steroids and marijuana in order to be capable to escape from his depression. Matechuk confirmed that earlier he had taken anti-depressant preparations. Discontinuing taking anti-depressant medicines probably led to application of steroids.
The football player mentioned that he experienced depression. He started to use steroids and marijuana in order to feel better. Jordan Matechuk acknowledged that he was responsible for this condition. He wouldn’t have discontinued taking anti-depressant preparations. But he stopped taking them. This factor led to intake of steroids.
Matechuk pleaded guilty to possession of steroids and marijuana.
Although 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 claimed that there were several other conditions but he decided to keep them out of public knowledge.
The Canadian Football League gave him the second chance to play football professionally.
He wrote a letter and sent it to each member of the team. Jordan Matechuk wrote about his shame for his arrest linked with possession and administration 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. So, Matechuk was happily accepted by this team.

Australian judge believed strange affirmations

Brenton Dowell, an Australian bodybuilder, was caught possessing and illegally importing significant quantities of anabolic steroids in March 2011. It was determined that these steroids could be sufficient to be used for over sixty years by a person. Many individuals believed that this bodybuilder would be sentenced to prison. But Dowell escaped from imprisonment successfully.
The Australian Customs and Border Protection Service claimed that Brenton Dowell had attempted to import over 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 different places: to Dowell’s home, to his father and his stepfather.
In fact, such large amounts of raw powder could be ordered just for manufacture of anabolic steroids by underground labs for selling them on the black market. 3 kg of raw testosterone powder could be used for getting of 1500 10-ml vials with ready products.
Len Hartnett, the defense attorney for Brenton Dowell, claimed that the testosterone powder had been purchased for his client’s personal usage. He added that Dowell’s usage of steroids was a response to bullying attacks which he received, when he was an overweight child. So, according to the defense attorney Len Hartnett, Brenton Dowell became addicted to bodybuilding and started to administer steroids because he was an overweight child.
The judge Graeme Hicks was influenced by arguments of the defense attorney Len Harnett that presented experiences of Dowell in his childhood. The judge Graeme Hicks noted that it could be concluded that Dowell had become obsessed by bodybuilding.
Thus, the judge believed the arguments of the defense attorney. Based on the descriptions and affirmations of the defense attorney, the judge Graeme Hicks concluded that the bodybuilder Brenton Dowell had ordered steroids personal usage and for sales to his friends in order to pay off personal usage.
The bodybuilder Brenton Dowell was sentenced to a fine of 10, 000 dollars and 2-year suspended sentence.

Did Mohammed Belkhair die because of steroid use?

Georgina Howarth, a pathologist, affirmed that the death of Mohammed Belkhair, a 19-year teenager, had been caused by intake of anabolic steroids. She noted that anabolic steroids had caused heart failure which had resulted in the death.
According to the doctor Howarth, if this guy had not utilized steroids, he would have been alive today. She confirmed that usage of steroids was the only reason of the death. Howarth added that the death of this guy was a lesson for each person to stay far from such drugs.
The sister of Mohammed Belkhair found him vomiting in his room on May, 2011. The boy acknowledged that he had taken steroids. He died at the same day. It was reported that steroids had been found in his system.
According to some articles, DHEA and Tamoxifen were 2 steroids that were found in the system of the teenager. DHEA is sold overall in Britain and in the USA.
But actually, the news is misleading. Tamoxifen is not included in anabolic steroids. This product has been initially elaborated to cure individuals that experience breast cancer. It has become popular among sportspeople and bodybuilders who utilize steroids because of its capacity to prevent aromatization of other drugs.
It seems to be strange but nothing was mentioned about arrest of Mohammed Belkhair. This condition might contribute in his 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 certain hours before the death of Mohammed Belkhair, the pathologist Georgina Howarth didn’t investigate these factors. Furthermore, she didn’t provide any explanation about this condition. Police officers reported nothing as well.
Since it was reported that Mohammed Belkhair had purchased steroids via internet, the news related to dangers of purchasing steroids via internet were spread in the country. So, it turned out to be convenient for changing the laws in order to make ordering of steroids via internet criminal in Britain. The British government intends to make personal importation of steroids per mail and per internet illegal. It will be in near future. Although it is said that these laws will be enacted before the Olympics, they are not still enacted.

The government of the UK doesn’t want to make import and usage of steroids illegal

Officers of the British government will be not capable to stop sportspersons importing steroids to the UK, when they come to participate in the 2012 Olympic Games. Although intake of steroids is forbidden in sports, self-administration of these preparations is not illegal in the UK. Just distribution of steroids is claimed to be illegal in this country. Thus, if anybody wants to import quantity of anabolic steroids which is essentially 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 intake of steroids at least temporally. But the British government refuses to change steroid laws for the 2012 Olympics.
Ironically, while the British government doesn’t want to make personal usage of steroids illegal, Britain sportspersons are banned for lifetime, if they administer anabolic steroids. When it comes to the WADA Code, sportspersons that take forbidden drugs are banned for two years.
The Olympic minister Hugh Robertson notes that it is needed to have a universal policy related to sentencing. He insists on at least 4 years or even longer.  Although he is supported by the British Olympic Association, the UK Anti-Doping Agency doesn’t agree with such harsh punishment. Andy Parkinson, the CEO of the UK Anti-Doping Agency, considers that certain sanctions must be milder.
The Olympic minister acknowledges 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 noticed that any athlete can have steroids in his/her luggage, when he/she comes to London. But the quantity of steroids should display that he/she possesses them only for self-administration. The spokesman has noticed that it is not criminal for a sportsperson to apply steroids under laws of the UK but if any sportsperson is caught taking banned medicines, he/she will be punished under anti-doping laws.
The UKAD noted that they would cooperate with border control officers. Information about sportspersons will be utilized by anti-doping agencies.
5, 000 drug test, including 1, 000 blood tests will be conducted by the International Olympic Committee.

If a person uses steroids prolonged time, he/she has high risks related to heart disorders

Prolonged administration of anabolic steroids may result in various heart diseases. It increases dangers linked with heart failure. These statements have been noted in a study that has been presented in Circulation: Heart Failure, an American Heart Association journal.
Anabolic-androgenic steroids act 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 states that in addition to the factor that anabolic steroids are illegal, they are linked with undesirable consequences for health. He notices that it is the first time, when negative influence of prolonged usage of steroids on heart is clearly realized.
The study manifested that the left ventricle in consumers of steroids was substantially weaker during contraction than in those that didn’t administer steroids.
A left ventricle that acts appropriately pumps out 55-70 % of the blood that fills the heart.
 12 users of steroids were enrolled in the study. It was displayed that the left ventricles of 83 % these steroid users acted incorrectly: they pumped out less than 55 % of the blood.   Among the examined non-users just one person suffered from problems connected with the function of the left ventricle.
The study demonstrated that ventricle relaxation among steroid users was lowered by about half. It was 0, 93 among consumers of steroids; 1, 80 – among non-steroid users. The structure of the left ventricle was the same in both groups: steroid users 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 12 weightlifters at the age of about 40 that said that they took about 675 mg of steroids a week for 9 years. Another group included weightlifters that didn’t take steroids. Both groups had similar physical activity and the same risks connected with heart troubles. But they had differences in body mass and muscle size. The users of steroids had more muscular appearance.
However small number of steroid users has been included in the research, the results have shown that there is a strong connection between administration of steroids and heart impairment.
The scientists decided to conduct further researches in order to support the findings.
Baggish and his co-investigators think that people will realize that intake of steroids may results in heart problems and various unexplained heart dysfunctions in young persons.

Each bodybuilder dreams that he/she will get great results one day

Bodybuilding is not included in glamorous sports. Any bodybuilder can support this statement. People 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? – Just for 30 seconds on stage. Of course, if bodybuilders reach high results, they receive awards, fame, and admiration of others. Their pictures are posted on covers of fit magazines. They become well-known.
Unfortunately, the most of bodybuilders never achieve this level because it is required much 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 needed for success in bodybuilding, you may look at Jay Cutler and several other individuals. You may also learn role of steroids for achievement of success in bodybuilding.
Jay Cutler is one of the most well-known bodybuilders in history. Furthermore, 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 much food.
It is interesting to note that Jay Cutler spends more time for eating than for workouts. He lifts for circa two hours and gets cardio an hour daily. Jay Cutler states that his day differs essentially from thoughts of people about it. Those that are not involved in bodybuilding suppose that bodybuilders train 8 hours daily. They think that if they take steroids, they will have the same appearance like professional bodybuilders.
Jay Cutler notes that steroids are not everything in bodybuilding but they play a great role in it. He confirms that if anyone wants to achieve great success in sports, he/she should use steroids. Ron Stevens, who is in the sport 15 years, supports the affirmation of Jay Cutler about steroids. He adds that it is not possible to compete without usage of these products. After several shows Ron Stevens made the decision to use steroids.
Stevens is as dedicated to bodybuilding as Jay Cutler. He eats much food which could be enough for a family of five members.
The most of bodybuilders haven’t got great supplement contracts. They don’t have sufficient money to support their efforts and obtain titles of Mr. Olympia.
In fact, the most of dedicated bodybuilders have regular jobs and hope that they will achieve great success one day.
As for Jay Cutler, he had two jobs. This bodybuilder worked and spent each dollar he received for bodybuilding. Finally, he achieved great success. His every effort was paid off.
Thinking over Jay Cutler, any bodybuilder may be encouraged in hopes that he will succeed greatly one day. Unknown bodybuilders can dream at least.

Dana White confirms that it is impossible to perform random drug testing in the UFC

The UFC President Dana White tries to defend UFC efforts against administration of prohibited preparations.  The UFC President says that the UFC fights seriously to push forbidden medications out of sports. He claims that they do more than any other sport organization for this need.
Unluckily, statements of Dana White are pronounced just for public relations purposes. They are totally false. The UFC doesn’t do more than any other sport organization, fighting against application of prohibited medications.
White believes that it is not possible to perform random drug testing in the UFC. He notes that they have 375 fighters under contract. The UFC President notices that it is impossible to perform random tests because these athletes live everywhere; they travel around the world. He finds it unreal to travel in various countries, seeking these 375 individuals, in order to test them continually.
While Dana White desires to convince others that it is not possible to test randomly 375 UFC guys, other sport organizations do it with their sportspersons. They perform random testing with success.
It isn’t completely clear what happens really. Does Dana White desire to mislead public about usage of banned medicines by the UFC sportspersons? Or is he ignorant totally, when it comes to the Code of the World Anti-Doping Agency?
The Chief Executive Officer of the US Anti-Doping Agency affirms that the UFC does everything in order to avoid following the laws of the WADA. They have own principles and struggle against the WADA rules. However the UFC affirms that they try to protect their sports from usage of banned medicines by the WADA Code, the reality displays that it is not true. The UFC rules are miserable in comparison with those of the WADA. Try to comprehend it!

Roger Clemens’ speech at the Show 60 Minutes turned out to be an unfortunate public relations ploy for his defense attorney

Mike Wallace, an excellent investigative journalist, who was one of the initial correspondents of CBS’ 60 Minutes died, when he was 93 years old. This journalist hosted fascinating interviews with world celebrated individuals. The most recent stories were linked with the former professional baseball player Roger Clemens and accusations linked with intake of anabolic steroids and HGH by this person. Mike Wallace’s last appearance on TV was related to this case.
The interview with Roger Clemens about steroids was broadcast in January, 2008. Rusty Hardin, the defense attorney for Roger Clemens, arranged the appearing of this baseball star in the Show 60 Minutes. Roger Clemens had to defense himself against accusations of Brian McNamee, his former personal coach. This person accused Roger Clemens in usage of anabolic steroids and HGH. He collaborated with investigators of Mitchell Report, when they tried to determine the extent of steroid use in the Major League Baseball.
Wallace didn’t enforce Clemens to tell that he used steroids. He just convinced him to prove to others that he had applied neither steroids, nor HGH. Roger Clemens claimed that he would be able to pull a tractor with his teeth, if he had taken steroids.
The interview of Clemens was a calamitous public relations ploy for Rusty Hardin. It was not a perceptive interview. But it renewed the interest after Wallace’s death.
Actually, Wallace presented much more substantial interviews during his career. The steroid interview with Roger Clemens was not the most significant. Why did it draw all persons’ attention?
Other interviews of Wallace are quite interesting. 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 determined the Watergate scandal as “perjury”. He listed 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. The reporter called 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 noted during the interview that executives of the company lied before the Congress about their knowledge about 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 struggle against steroids, the war on nicotine will never take place.

Usage of mustard can lead to gaining hard muscles

Some late researches have determined several benefits of mustard. Everybody knows that it is a good remedy which adds pleasant flavor to food. Moreover, it has been discovered that mustard can help to lose fat and improve physical appearance.
A study connected with mustard has been conducted 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 which is called “homobrassinolide” found in mustard and other related herbs has ability to increase lean muscle mass and strength in mammals.
28-Homobrassinolide represents a brassinosteroid. It is a type of steroid which is contained in plants that belong to Brassica family. It has been known that it has ability to induce growing plants. But no one has been aware about its role in mammals. The experts have determined that homobrassinolide has capacity to lead to anabolic effects in mammals. It induces enhancing protein synthesis, stimulates appetite and enhances muscle mass through enhancement 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 applied in order to monitor changes in weight, food consumption and composition of rats’ bodies. It has been determined that animals that have been given homobrassinolide have obtained essentially 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 that helps to remain lean.
So, the study has clearly demonstrated that homobrassinolide enhances protein synthesis, increases size and number of muscle fibers that play an important role for enhancement of energy.
Specialists suggest that such plants, as mustard, can be applied for more enhanced brassinosteroid content. It may help to have lean muscle mass, increase it and prevent certain diseases.
It is suggested that future supplement and medicine industry will introduce preparations that will be effective in case of some illnesses related to muscle wasting. Such preparations can be administered as alternative preparations to synthetic steroids because the first ones will probably cause minimal or no undesirable effects.
Leaves of mustard have little calories. They are rich in antioxidants. Leaves of mustard have anti-inflammatory features. Furthermore, they represent a brilliant source of iron, magnesium, fiber, selenium and phosphorous.
Mustard may 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 get some benefits.

Steroid investigation “Operacion Skype”

Mossos d’Esqudra and Spain’s Policia Nacional conducted a steroid investigation that led to arrest of ten individuals who were implicated in a steroid chain. These persons supplied top amateur and professional sportspeople and even Olympic athletes with anabolic steroids, HGH, EPO, CERA and other related medicines.  The investigation was named “Operacion Skype”. The steroid ring was located in Barcelona.
The investigation was initially linked with David Garcia Dapena, a professional cyclist, who tested positive for EPO after the 2010 Vuelta a Espana. It was reported that David Garcia Dapena had increased hematocrit levels that indicated about application of EPO.
Garcia didn’t deny intake of the banned medicine. He collaborated with the police officers. The cyclist acknowledged that he had purchased product with performance-enhancing effects from the health care provider Alberto Beltran Nino.
It was determined that Beltran had been the leader of an organization focused on sophisticated doping. This organization supplied cyclists and other sportspersons with forbidden products. It was also determined that some sportspeople who took part 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 persons who got steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs from this doping organization.
It was even earlier suspected that Beltran supplied sportspersons with steroids and other doping substances and taught them how to avoid being caught. This doctor was arrested in Italy after he was caught driving his car that was full of steroids and other related medications.
The Portuguese professional cyclist Nuno Ribeiro accused the physician Beltran in injecting him with prohibited products after he tested positive for CERA in 2009.
The sprinter Jose Luis Blanco assisted in the steroid investigation that had been conducted against Beltran after this sportsperson 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 sportsperson.
Nevertheless, the police believe that he has set up a team of intermediaries in various countries. They have purchased steroids and other related preparations and supplied top sportspeople with them.
Beltran was detained in Madrid in March 2012 by police. He was caught having AICAR and TB-500.
Although no any sportsperson has tested positive for these drugs, it is believed that some athletes have planned to administer these products.

What have you to know about AndroGel dosage to obtain wanted benefits?
AndroGel dosage is prescribed by physicians that take in consideration following factors: levels of testosterone in patients, responses of their bodies to application of this drug, personal conditions and other preparations that are used by patients. It is ordinarily recommended to begin with the AndroGel dosage of 5 mg a day. The measure is altered during the therapy. If levels of testosterone are essentially decreased, the quantity has to be enhanced. If the levels are higher than the normal level, the therapy with this medicine must be stopped. The dose should be regulated only by specialists but not by those who utilize this product.

Popularity of steroids among prostitutes

Young females in Bangladesh that are involved in prostitution take steroids in order to get weight and bulk up. It has been written by Reuters. The article’s headline has the following words: “dark steroid secret”. It is written that prostitutes from Bangladesh use steroids in order to have better appearance. Of course, the first thoughts that come in mind in this situation are related to intake of anabolic steroids. But reading the article completely and more attentively, every person can see that it is written not about anabolic steroids but about corticosteroids.
One of corticosteroids that are getable at pharmacies of Bangladesh is known under the trade name Oradexon. It is not needed to have a prescription in order to get this preparation. Its cost is about 15 taka that equal to 0, 18 USD dollars. Another name of this medicine is Dexamethasone. This is an anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant remedy that is directed for treatment of people who suffer different diseases. This medicine is over 25 times more powerful that the natural steroid hormone cortisol.
90 % of prostitutes at the 15 legal houses of prostitution from Bangladesh apply the corticosteroid Oradexon. 90 % equal to 900 teenage female prostitutes who apply this medicine regularly. They use it willingly or are enforced to do it. So, some of them are enforced to take it. But others take this remedy volitionally because it is confirmed that corticosteroids can enhance strength and improve health.
It seems to be ironically but sex workers from Bangladesh  who use corticosteroids have the same goals like those that encourage bodybuilders to administer anabolic steroids. Sex workers apply corticosteroids in order to improve physical appearance, add weight and enhance 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 says that customers are seeking healthy ladies. 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 put efforts to earn money for her son.
Actually, adverse reactions that can be caused because of corticosteroids are much more dangerous than those which can be caused due to application of anabolic steroids. Corticosteroids can affect immune system, lead to osteoporosis and insulin resistance, stimulate appetite essentially, and increase weight and fat.
Specialists try to draw people’s attention to abuse of corticosteroids and potential adverse consequences of them.

Effectiveness of AndroGel for bodybuilding!
Besides usual recommendations to this steroid, it is required to follow some particularized indications, when it comes to usage of AndroGel for bodybuilding. Persons who desire to induce gaining muscle mass due to this product are required to do exercises which implicate big muscles during usage of this medication. Bench presses, leg presses, squats and arm curls are required present. When it comes to cardio exercises, they must be avoided during administration of AndroGel for bodybuilding. You need to have also proper diets, if you want to get excellent results. You food must be rich in protein and starchy carbohydrate.

Did the NFL violate any law, suspending those who didn’t test positive for forbidden medications?

The National Football League suspended D. J. Williams, a linebacker, and Ryan McBean, a defensive lineman, of the team Denver Broncos for violation of steroid policy. These players were suspended from 6 games. But they were not banned for usage of steroids. They didn’t test positive for steroids or other controlled substances. 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 banned preparation during 8 years of his career. He added that he was proud of his records. He noted that he was also proud of his manner in that he conducted himself, being a sportsman.
The attorney for McBean, Peter Shaffer, confirmed that the NFL had violated rights of the defensive lineman. He mentioned that since McBean had never tested positive for any forbidden drug, the NFL didn’t have any right to sentenced him to ban.
Peter Schaffer claimed that he intended to make it clear that neither D. J. Williams, nor Ryan McBean tested positive for prohibited preparations.
A lawsuit was filed in Denver County Court against suspensions of these players of the NFL.
The players confirmed that the drug testing officer had violated certain rules connected with the procedure of collecting urine samples.
Schaffer noticed that several similarities had been between his client and Ryan Braun. Braun won his appeal connected with his suspension from 50 games for administration 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 Dino Laurenzi. It was confirmed 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 incorrect doing his duty.
At the hearing the NFL administrators acknowledged that the drug testing officer violated the rules linked with collection of urine samples.
Nonetheless, the appeal on behalf of the players was rejected.

Why are some companies allowed to sell medicines as dietary supplements?

What may be called “a medicine”? The FDA confirms that a drug is a substance; it isn’t a dietary supplement. It is administered for diagnosis, treatment, prevention of maladies, for appropriate influence on body’s functions. It is possible to make it clear that a medication is a medication which has nothing to do with politics and great money.
But it is possible certain ambiguity today. A law that has been established in 1994 by Senators Orrin Hatch and Tom Harkin has led to the confusion between dietary supplements and drugs. So, mega-billion dollar supplements industry has induced causing the disorder in clear definitions. Users’ ignorance and some legislative statements with doubled sense have played great role in creation of following conception: anything that is sold is safe.
This wrong conception caused different serious cases. For example, over a year ago 2 young soldiers of the U. S. Army died as a result of usage of so-called “dietary supplements” Jack3d and OxyElite Pro. The case is still investigated. Actually, it has been determined that those soldiers had utilized an amphetamine-like synthetic substance which 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 banned substance utilized by sportspeople, it is purchasable at the Vitamin Shoppe or GNC.
Health stores offer for sales products that are similar to that substance mentioned above. They are purchasable as dietary supplements but it is not true.
Another preparation is DHEA. It represents a steroid which can be converted in consumers’ bodies into anabolic steroids or neurohormonal steroids. This aspect influences on physiological functions of body. Is it a dietary supplement really?
Another product that is sold as a dietary supplement is RockHard Weekend. It contains various substances. But does anybody know which substances are contained in the bottle? Can anyone reassure that they are safe for application?
One of people’s mistakes is that they believe the following way: if any product is made of plants, it is safe for application. A lot of persons affirm that such supplements can’t have negative influence on body’s functions. It is wrong to believe this way. There are plants which are poisonous. It is not allowed to consume them.
Hemlock was the poison which led to Socrates’ death. It was derived from certain herb. Ricin that is claimed to be one of the most poisonous compounds on the Earth is derived from a castor been roots. That’s why it is important to know what you apply in order to avoid applying products that contain any poison, regardless they are from herbs or not.
Why are companies permitted to offer for sales medications as if they were dietary supplemenets? Supplements don’t pass any FDA control. Here we can say about statements with doubled sense. The Hatch-Harken law allows the supplement industry to introduce preparations that are labeled as supplements. But are they actually supplements? Certain medications are purchasable, being marketed as dietary supplements. But it is wrong entirely. These products can be unsafe.
Does anybody suggest that anabolic steroids and other related drugs can be marketed as supplements? Do they supplement or treat? A term was introduced in order to avoid using medical terms. This term is “to support”. What does this verb mean? Isn’t it a wink to the term “to treat”?
The FDA plans to establish control over supplements. There will be a requirement for all new supplements to be safe.
Pharmaceutical companies spend great amount of dollars in order to set whether new drugs are safe. Some of them fail to be called “safe” due to dangerous side consequences. But as for manufacturers of supplements, they don’t have these troubles because there do not have such requirements in supplement industry.
Supplement requirements are based on money and not on science. In fact, they should have the same requirements like those that are established for pharmaceutical companies.

Interesting aspects about Anavar side effects
It is possible to set the most common Anavar side effects. Such undesirable responses that occur in high percentage of those who use this product are included in this class. Let enumerate these adverse symptoms: depression, lack of appetite, cystic acne, baldness, irritation of skin, sensation of a need to vomit, vomiting, breathing troubles, urine of dark color and sexual problems. However these results are negative, there is a good side here. Certain Anavar side effects occur due to genetic predisposition and wrong intake of this preparation. Thus, in case you are not predisposed genetically to certain side symptoms and follow all recommendations, you may administer it without any fear.

Brian McNamee reports that coaches induce taking steroids by athletes

Brian McNamee says that coaches are the main persons who induce application of anabolic steroids. The convicted distributor of steroids confirms that trainers have the most significant influence on decisions of young athletes to administer banned preparations. Their influence is larger than one of street dealers that offer banned preparations for sales, trying to convince young persons that they may have great success due to application of these medicines. Brian McNamee supposes that trainers and the society teach young sportspersons that they should win at any cost. This aspect pressures students that are involved in sports. It leads to their decision to use steroids and other related products.
Brian McNamee was invited to share his opinion at the Nassau Counselors Association’s conference. He pronounced some comments  during a presentation which was called “Creating a Safe Environment for Our Student-Athletes”. He got an honorarium of 200 dollars. McNamee presented this sum of money to the Taylor Hooton Foundation.
McNamee is known better as a trainer that has injected Roger Clemens with anabolic steroids and HGH. It was noticed that he stored all syringes and vials that were applied for injecting Clemens with steroids during circa seven years. Brian McNamee supported accusations of federal prosecutors against Clemens.
The testimony of McNamee induced publishing the Mitchell Report on steroids in the Major League Baseball. The Report was worth of 20 million dollars. It was published in December 2007. Statements of Brian McNamee and Kirk Radomski were the base for publishing the report. They provided evidence related to usage of steroids 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 related to steroids.
The agreement also requires testimony of McNamee as a government witness in the trial of Roger Clemens. He couldn’t say details related to the case of Roger Clemens during the Nassau Counselors Association. But the time will come, when he tells the story about Clemens.
Although it was declared a mistrial in the 1st  trial connected with the case of Roger Clemens, it was scheduled a new trial.

Shaquille O’Neal and Jose Canseco will soon fight in a ring

It has been recently affirmed 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.
Numerous persons suppose that Jose Canseco needs money since the Triple-A Quintana Roo Tigres of the Mexican Baseball League has invited him 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 which are indicated by his doctor for testosterone replacement therapy. However he has justified clinical purposes for application of these drugs, he should obtain several 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.
Shaquille O’Neal has reported 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 administers anabolic steroids. He possesses own secret methods and he states that he can neutralize effects of Jose Canseco which are caused by intake of Testosterone Cypionate.
Jose Canseco was scheduled to fight against the former player of the MLB Lenny Dykstra. When this person played baseball professionally, he also applied anabolic steroids.
Randall Lane claims in his book “The Zeroes: My Misadventures in the Decade Wall Street Went Insane” that Lenny Dykstra has admitted that he administered anabolic steroids. Dykstra told Lane that Jose Canseco and he had done steroid revolution in baseball.
Jeff Scott, a bodybuilder from Florida, said that he supplied Lenny Dykstra with drugs that enhance performance 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 controlled substances. 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 ring with Jose Canseco. Jose Canseco accepted the challenge of Shaquille O’Neal.

The BOA refuses to lower its standards

The British Olympic Association tries to justify itself for the aspect that it violates laws of the World Anti-Doping Agency. According to rules of the WADA, punishment for intake of anabolic steroids and other related preparations should be the same around the  world. The punishment which is indicated for a sportsperson who has utilized prohibited drugs for the first time is sentencing to 2-year bans.
But the British Olympic Association claims that such punishment is not sufficient. The BOA sentences steroid users for life-time suspensions from taking part in the Olympic Games. The WADA confirms that this rule of the BOA contradicts the WADA Code which is universal.
Lord Moynihan, the chairman of the BOA, hasn’t agreed to concede. As a result, a hearing has been scheduled to be at a Court of Arbitration for Sports in London.
The athletes that had administered forbidden substances were suspended by the International Olympic Committee from participations in Olympics under the Osaka Rule.
Moynihan said that the law of the BOA connected with life-time suspensions wouldn’t be cancel, if even the CAS would be in contradiction with it. The BOA confirms that it has the best rules.
The chairman of the BOA supported affirmations written by the former British Olympic decathlete Daley Thompson who noticed that British rules related to usage of banned medicines were superior. He confirmed that they shouldn’t be overthrown by the rest part of the world.
Delay Thompson claims that dopers have to be punished strictly. They must 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 claims that the Britain wants to have the highest sport standards. He notes that if the rest part of the world doesn’t desire to have high standards, it doesn’t mean that Britain should 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, criticizes the BOA for its refusal to submit to the rules of the WADA. It seems to be strange that Travis Tygart that usually blames dopers blames the BOA for the strict rule.
Travis Tygart claims that since international laws have been once established and all have agreed to them, anybody should obey them.
The British athletes Dwain Chambers and David Millar who have been earlier banned for application of prohibited products wait for the conclusions connected with this issue. They want to know whether they will be allowed to take part in the 2012 London Olympics.
