I’ve been telling you to avoid this guy’s operation for a long time. I’ve been probably the only person out there telling people not to get involved with this dude’s company and his UG…anyway, I’m not going to tell you which UG it is, but what I will say is that a lot of people are fucked.

Jail term for man who sold steroids illegally worldwide

By Jason O’Brien
Saturday July 21 2007

A MAN who illegally sold bodybuilding steroids world-wide from an Irish address has been sentenced to two years in jail with all but four months suspended.

The Irish Medicines Board (IMB) welcomed the ruling last night, stating the illegal sale of anabolic steroids was a serious health concern.

Brian Wainstein (42) - a South African national with an address at Bank Lodge, Knockraheen, Roundwood in Co Wicklow - received the orders for the banned drugs by e-mail from customers all over the world, including the USA.

He used the name ‘Barry Benjamin’ on his email messages.

He pleaded guilty at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court to nine charges arising out of the unlawful possession sale and distribution of the illicit substances at Croswaithe Park South, Dun Laoghaire in 2003.

Judge Martin Nolan said he had been “leaning towards” jailing Wainstein for 12 months because of the seriousness of his supply of steroids on a world-wide scale.

But the submission by defence counsel Mr Bernard Condon BL helped change his mind.

Judge Nolan noted Mr Condon’s submission that Wainstein had pleaded guilty and so avoided what might have been a long, complicated trial and other matters put forward on his behalf, but added that Wainstein “cannot avoid custody generally”.

“I have decided to impose a two-year sentence but to suspend all but four months of it which he must serve so that he will have a taste of prison,” Judge Nolan said.

Detective Sergeant John McGing of the Garda drugs unit had told the court that illicit substances valued at €15,000 were recovered at the Dun Laoghaire premises on September 16, 2003. He said the authorities were alerted to the offence as a result of problems with the delivery through international distributors. The substances recovered were analysed by Dr Hugo Bonnar and found to be illegal steroids.

The IMB said last night that its compliance department had been involved in the case.

Mr Pat O’Mahony, chief executive of the IMB, said that the illegal sale and supply of such products was a threat to public health as anabolic steroids taken without medical care can cause serious damage to health and used on a continued basis shorten life expectancy.

Judge Nolan agreed with a request by Mr Condon to defer the start of the sentence to July 30.

As this article talks about it, steroids are coming under scruitny in many sports, after the Chris Benoit murder and Barry Bonds /baseball BS

read

Professional wrestling it’s called, is an oxymoron laughable enough to rival any of the tough guy slapstick routines that go on in these staged matches. If professional is supposed to mean masterful or legitimate, well someone has the wrong sport. That would be, ironically enough, the altogether serious and gimmick-free pursuit of amateur wrestling, a noble sport in the Greco-Roman tradition.
Professional wrestling — really, where’s the prefix “un” when you need it — used to be a harmless enough mix of faux sport and more genuine freak show. The competitors, er, performers make for a beefed up, buffed up carnival act more than anything else. Entertainment with a touch of athleticism made for a very popular and lucrative business, all right.

Only now there’s this problem in a world where regulation is little more than a rumor. Steroids are present in wrestling, too, just like in other sports with real rules and some means of enforcing them.

Abuse of anabolic steroids are at the center of the investigation of the self-destructive rampage that wrestler Chris Benoit went on last month, killing his wife and 7-year-old son and then hanging himself. Mr. Benoit had almost 10 times the normal level of testosterone in his system. Testosterone is, of course, a synthetic version of the primary male sex hormone. It is regarded as an anabolic steroid.

No, that doesn’t automatically mean that steroids are what drove someone to kill his family. But it does require taking another, deeper look at the dangers posed by such substances.

“I can see no valid reason why anybody would be taking that much testosterone. He abused controlled substances,” says Dr. John Xerogeanes, who teaches sports medicine at Emory University in Atlanta and is the team orthopedic doctor at Georgia Tech. “And then you put that with the probable mental issues he had.”

Not so compatible with the family fun niche that the outfit known as World Wrestling Entertainment covets. Its statement, in the wake of new information about the deaths of Mr. Benoit and his family — that he didn’t test positively for steroids when he was screened in April — is of very limited significance.

“All it means is that scientifically, it’s now known that sometime between April 10 and when he died, he had treatment with testosterone,” says Jerry McDevitt, a lawyer for World Wrestling Entertainment. “That’s all it establishes.”

But that’s quite enough. Professional wrestling now has this in common with sports where such a designation comes entirely more naturally. Outside authorities need to look ever closer at abuse of substances that can tarnish the integrity of games and, worse, ruin the lives of those who play them.

well you’d never imagine that PGA stars are juicing up lol, but it’s true, according to this latest anti-steroid rant, do golfers use anabolic steroids ?

I doubt it, unless it’s the old men on HRT or TRT

but then again, who knows, soon GOLF will be on the front page of the sports page for Tiger Woods juicing with Tren haha

If you people don’t stop equating steroid use - which should be outlawed in professional golf - with steroid abuse (which is dumb as hell, illegal - and should be outlawed in pro golf), I’m going to rip off someone’s head off and chuck it in the Barry Burn!

Taking steroids is seen by the governing bodies of most sports as an unfair advantage. Keep in mind that “taking steroids” does NOT have to mean gaining huge amounts of unsightly muscle. ‘Roids were developed for legit medical purposes, people! In summer months, I shoot a steroid spray into my nose to combat grass pollen allergies. My grandma took steroids when she tore up her knee in a fall! Obviously, that isn’t what we’re talking about here. (Grandma could barely bench 175.)

But the point is, it takes an intentionally high dose of steroids to bulk up ala Barry Bonds’ melon. But lower doses would still help golfers combat fatigue, especially as the years rack up and it gets late in the season. Lower doses wouldn’t have to result in an amount of muscle that would help a little guy rip the ball 330 yards off the tee, but they would still be an unfair advantage (even if you think Gary Player is full of it).

So if I read one more blogger or pundit riffing about how huge muscles wouldn’t help a golfer, or about how - because they’re not seeing any muscle-bound Chris Benoit-look-alikes on tour, steroids aren’t a problem - I’m going to bash in my screen with a nine-iron, tear the computer out of the wall and smash your face with it.

And one other thing ……. ‘roid rage is a total myth, you pencil neck.
