fat-muscle-steroids-police-copsIt seems the witch hunt to find policemen on steroids is just starting. In TN, there have already been firings and resignations over alleged steroid use, along with suspensions. It seems police use anabolic steroids, and so do many other government agencies, why? because it helps them be better cops. Let’s look at the photo on this page, the policemen on the left didn’t use steroids, the one on the right could have used steroids. The cop on the right is what a policemen who used steroids would look like. Who would you like to protect your health and wellbeing from criminals? Anyone with any common sense would pick the fit, muscular guy. Believe us, you would pick him when your life is on the line and he has to chase or fight a criminal who is threatening your life.

But, let’s forget you for a second, let’s ask the cop, doesn’t he want to make sure he’s fully fit and recovered after training to protect his own life. Police have the right to use anabolic steroids to help them recover after workouts and get them into better shape. The better shape police is in, the more likely they are to help the community. Just look at the pictures, pictures say a thousand words!

Investigations into anabolic steroid use by police officers have led to resignations and terminations in at least two Middle Tennessee police agencies.

Officers from Metro police and Murfreesboro police have been implicated in the wide-reaching steroid bust and an accompanying federal investigation. At the same time, two officers from the Tennessee Highway Patrol were put on paid administrative leave as part of an unspecified internal investigation.

Murfreesboro Police Officer Phillip Hatcher was fired Wednesday after he was found to be using steroids, according to a press release. He was stripped of his police powers last week after police officials learned he was part of a federal investigation.

According to a letter from Murfreesboro Police Chief Glenn Chrisman to the city manager, Hatcher admitted he had been injecting steroids since high school.

Officers on leave from the THP are Sgt. Larry Hitchcock Jr., 36, and Trooper William D. Futrell, also 36. Hitchcock was assigned to the Nashville headquarters and worked previously at the THP training center. Futrell was most recently assigned to the THP training center.

THP officials confirmed early this month they were looking into allegations of steroid use among troopers. But THP spokesman Mike Browning said he could not confirm whether these suspensions are related.

He also said he didn’t know whether criminal charges were anticipated. “It’s still too early in the investigation, so it would be premature one way or another,” Browning said.
