Guy Marc Ducasse, 46, a bodybuilder from Oklahoma City who was charged and pleaded guilty to illegal distribution of anabolic steroids was sentenced to one-month imprisonment and was ordered to complete 400 hours of community service.

US chief district judge Claire Eagan also placed Ducasse in three-year court supervision. She ordered him to an unusual punishment by ordering him to speak to young people about the dangers of steroids.

Ducasse’s case was due to one occasion in 2006 when he gave Proviron to a dentist whom he said was his friend. He claimed that he did not sell the drug to the dentist.

However, according to Eagan, Ducasse distributed 4,324 units of steroids on separate accounts to at least seven people.

Ducasse will start serving his prison sentence on December 2. After his imprisonment, he is expected to serve 400 hours of community service. He has to complete it within a one-month period. He is likely to give his speeches in Oklahoma City high schools. During the summer, when school is not in session, he has to give them in athletic camps.

His talk should be about his experience with steroid use, distribution, as well as the hazards it brings to our health.

From Tulsa World:

An Oklahoma City bodybuilder who pleaded guilty in August to distributing an anabolic steroid was sentenced Friday in federal court in Tulsa to one month in jail and ordered to perform 400 hours of community service.

Five time winner of the Eclipse Award for top horse trainer Bobby Frankel recently died in his Pacific Palisades home due complications brought about by lymphoma. He died last November 16 at the age of 68.

He also won eleven times for the Eclipse Award with ten horses.

Frankel was born in Brooklyn and trained thousands of horses where he won around 3,654 races.

He was the second highest earner trainer next to Hall of Famer Wayne Lucas.

According to fellow Hall of Famer Bob Baffert, Frankel was a great, fierce competitor but has always been a good person. He said he was a big loss in sport and that he is definitely going to be missed.

Frankel was one of the many to have claimed that he never used steroids in his horses. He was a critic of the synthetic substances, especially during the height of the steroids scandal in the 2008 Triple Crown Series with the horse Big Brown.

He may seem to be tough outside but he is an animal lover who always put the welfare of the horses first. He would never hurt the horses by using steroids on them.

From NY Daily News:

During the Big Brown steroid scandal in the 2008 Triple Crown Series, Frankel was one of the few trainers to say he never used steroids on his horses.

According to Roger Clemens’ lawyers, the player and his camp were not at all serious when they questioned McNamee’s mental state. That is why Clemens’ camp filed a motion in Brooklyn federal court to dismiss a defamation lawsuit by Brian McNamee.

According to a report last November 12, in the New York Daily News, Roger Clemens, his lawyer Rusty Hardin and others were not serious about their accusations against Brian McNamee. This is according to the motion written by Joe Roden filed in Brooklyn. Roden was lawyer and a member of Hardin’s firm.

Roden said it was just part of the public battle of words. They do not intend to suggest to readers that McNamee is actually mentally unfit.

He also added that they were just trying to refute false evidence. Their action could not be considered as defamation. Clemens’ camp was recalled to have denied that Clemens used steroids or HGH. According to them, Clemens’ former trainer was just manufacturing evidence.

McNamee said the seven-time Cy Young Award winner received steroid and HGH injections while he was still with the Blue Jays and the Yankees from 1998 to 2001.

He even showed evidence in court by providing bloody gauze pads and used syringes, which he turned over after a congressional hearing last year.

From The Associated Press:

NEW YORK — Lawyers for Roger Clemens filed a motion in Brooklyn federal court to dismiss a defamation lawsuit by the pitcher’s former trainer, claiming statements that accused Brian McNamee of trying to shake down Clemens were not serious.

The California Horse Racing Board (CHRB) announced last Tuesday that none of the horses that participated in the Breeder’s Cup World Championships tested positive for any prohibited substance such as TCO2 and anabolic steroids.

All samples from the Breeder’s Cup horses were collected Monday night and were sent to the Kenneth L. Maddy Equine Analytical Chemistry Laboratory at the University of California-Davis. Testing was completed Tuesday morning with results showing that none of the horses failed the drug test. The Maddy lab tested for 45 anabolic steroids and hundreds of other prohibited drugs.

All horses underwent pre-race and post-race testing for TCO2 levels in blood. However, post-race testing was only performed on the first three finishers in all 14 Breeders’ Cup races plus additional random horses selected by the stewards. Post-race testing was additionally done on urine samples.

A random out-of-competition testing was done on 25% of the horses pre-entered in the competition. This is in addition to the routine testing done for the Breeder’s Cup. US samples were brought and analyzed in the Maddy Laboratory while samples from international competitors were brought to racing laboratories in France, England and Ireland.

From Thoroughbred Times:

None of the horses that ran in the Breeders’ Cup World Championships tested positive for TCO2 or any prohibited substances, the California Horse Racing Board announced on Tuesday.

A cycle of steroid might give you a body like you have been working out for five years. However, for Leah Raynes, 47, and Miles Stovall, 46, two San Antonio bodybuilders, natural is still the way to go.

Raynes works as a surgical technician and a single mom of four. She joined several bodybuilding competitions since 2006. She finished second in the lightweight division in 2006, sixth place in 2007 and third place last year. This year, she will be among the 13 women who will be competing for the 2009 World Natural Bodybuilding Federation (WNBF) world championships.

Stovall, on the other hand, is a two-time heavyweight champion. He is also a two-time American champion, an international champion and a former Mr. Universe. After the 2005 competition, Stovall is back to compete for the 2009 WNBF championships.

Both San Antonio bodybuilders take a stand against steroid use. Gaining results through natural methods has more pride in it rather than doing a shortcut through steroids.

Besides, according to Raynes, the WNBF is so strict with their rules. Participants need to undergo a polygraph test, and they are very specific when it comes to questions about banned substances.

Constant drug testing is also implemented every year. It lists anabolic steroids, testosterone and growth hormones as among those in their list of banned substances.

From San Antonio Sports:

“Everybody thinks because we’re bodybuilders — ‘oh, steroids,’” Stovall says. “And that’s a hard (stigma) to shake.”

Ring Talk radio host Pedro Fernandez recently did an interview with boxer, Kermit Cintron regarding the upcoming Manny Pacquiao vs. Miguel Cotto HBO fight.

According to Cintron, he believes that Pacquiao is on steroids or some kind of performance-enhancing drug.

Cintron doubts Pacquiao’s sudden weight gain from 112 lbs to 147 lbs. According to the boxer, most people who come up to a weight like that holds water weight and looks soft. However, in the case of Pacquiao, it looks like his muscles are just so ripped. Cintron even referred to Pacquiao looking like Bruce Lee.

Although Cintron is not sure what Manny Pacquiao was taking, he is definite that the pound for pound king is taking something. His looks, according to Cintron is just questionable.

Aside from this opinion, Cintron also predicted that Pacquiao would lose over Miguel Cotto on Saturday.

A few months ago, Floyd Mayweather Sr. also threw accusations on Pacquiao, saying that the world champion is using steroids and that is precisely what is helping him win his fights. Mayweather Sr. insisted that the reason Pacquiao always comes clean in his drug tests was that people around him are not willing to speak up about what they know.

From Now Boxing:

In a radio interview with Ring Talk, host Pedro Fernandez asked boxer Kermit Cintron about the upcoming HBO Pacquiao vs. Cotto fight, Kermit Cintron, who fights at the 147 and 154 pound weight classes, told Fernandez that he believes Manny Pacquiao is on some type of  steroids/enhancers.

Former Major League Baseball (MLB) player Sammy Sosa suddenly looked fair-skinned these days. Back in the 1990s, when he used to play baseball, his skin did not looked as white as they are today.

Could it be due to steroids? How could steroids make your skin look lighter anyway? Many speculated that Sammy might be hit by a skin condition called Vitiligo due to his steroids use in the 90s and 2000s.

Vitiligo is a chronic skin disorder that causes depigmentation of skin. It usually occurs in patches and affects the extremities more.

It can be caused by several factors such as autoimmune, genetic and environmental factors, or a combination of two or more of these factors. The condition is also common in people with thyroid disorder.

In Sammy’s case, steroid is pointed out as the main culprit for his condition. This, however, could not be proven. In fact, steroid is used as a temporary treatment for Vitiligo. It can be used to stimulate the skin to produce melanocytes. Cessation of steroids use would guarantee the return of vitiligo soon after.

According to his acquaintance Rebecca Polihronis, Sammy is just going through a rejuvenation process for his skin.

Whatever Sammy did to his skin, everybody was surprised that he came out looking so white. It almost looked like a body double.

From The Hollywood Gossip:

Former Major League Baseball star Sammy Sosa sure looks different lately. We don’t recall him having bleached skin back in his late 1990s, home run heyday.

Former Major League Baseball Most Valuable Player Jose Canseco was at the 350 Grill in Springfield to promote the fight between him and Pittsfield resident Todd Poulton at the Springfield Sheraton. Celebrity Boxing organized the fight.

After the preliminary introductions of seven fighters, one trainer and one promoter, Celebrity Boxing promoter Damon Feldman opened the floor for questions.

Canseco was not at all thrilled with the first question asked, which had something to do with his former steroids use. He was asked how he advises his son, Christian against using steroids.

According to Canseco, he simply tells his son not to do it. After leaving baseball, Canseco turned to boxing and mixed martial arts.

His recent MMA fights include a fight with a Japanese professional but he lost in less than two minutes, a lost fight with former Philadelphia Eagle Vai Sikahema and a draw with former child actor Danny Bonaduce.

He was quite disappointed that the questions focused more on his steroids use rather than his career as a boxer or his preparations for the fight.

Canseco wrote two books about steroids and did a documentary about his life on his steroids abuse.

From The Berkshire Eagle:

SPRINGFIELD — Jose Canseco swaggered in wearing designer jeans, a leather jacket, a tight, white shirt and sunglasses that didn’t leave his eyes for an entire press conference — or as he sipped a drink in a dimly lit bar afterwards.

Will County Sheriff’s detectives rescued six dogs and five puppies from a southwest suburban home used as a training ground for pit bulls for fighting.

Last November 3, 2009, police found a treadmill and large amounts of steroids and needles at home. The treadmill was used to train fighting dogs, according to the sheriff’s office.

Neighbors called Joliet Animal Control after seeing the dogs tied up in the backyard but nobody seemed to be living in the suburban house for months. A dead dog was also found in the backyard. The search was conducted at 713 Logan St., within Joliet Township.

According to sheriff’s office spokesperson Pat Barry, Detective Sgt. Mike Kelley, Detectives Jack Ellingham and Dan Jungles conducted the preliminary investigation. After obtaining the warrant, they went into the house and found a mother pit bull with five puppies. Four of them were healthy except for one that was sick.

Will County Animal Control, along with Joliet Animal Control, took custody of the dogs. The dogs will undergo check-up, after which, will be sent to area shelters.

According to neighbors, several pick-ups always come and go late at night, although nobody lived in the house for months. Detectives are still investigating if dogfights were actually taking place inside the property.

From WBBM 780:

JOLIET, Ill. (STNG)  – Police rescued six dogs and five puppies Tuesday night from a southwest suburban home apparently being used to train pit bulls for fighting.

Five Chinese swimmers received two-year suspensions after testing positive for the steroids, Clenbuterol.

Qu Jing, Liu Bingyao, Zuo Ziqiao, Fu Bo and Hu Shaozhi, all tested positive for anabolic steroids in the national competition last June.

Although they do not appear in the list of NBC Olympic Rosters, they are potential candidates for the London Games in 2012.

Aside from the athletes, their coaches will also be receiving a ban of one to two years.

The Chinese Swimming Association has been taking steps to tighten their security measures against steroids use. Many Chinese athletes have records of steroids use and abuse for the past years. This move, done by the association, can hopefully send a positive message to other athletes that steroids and other performance enhancing drugs can do nothing to improve your career.

Clenbuterol, is an anabolic steroid use in treating asthma attacks and other respiratory conditions in animals, especially in equines. It has become popular in the world of sports due to its slimming effects. It has been alleged that this drug is introduced into training regimens to help athletes lose weight.

Unfortunately, in the US, elite athletes go undetected with using steroids and other performance enhancing products.

From Shanghaiist:

Five Chinese swimmers received two year bans yesterday after testing positive for the anabolic steroid clenbuterol at a national competition last June. According to the AP the athletes’ coaches also received one to two year bans.
