Former Strikeforce light heavyweight champion Muhammed Lawal is not expected to file an appeal with the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC).

Lawal tested positive for the anabolic steroid Drostanolone following a Jan. 7, 2012, win over Lorenz Larkin.

From Mmamania.com:

Drostanolone, also found in previous drug test results from Josh Barnett and Hermes Franca, is popular among athletes and competitive bodybuilders because its “anti-estrogenic properties make it a very effective cutting agent.”

But “King Mo” insists he “had no intent of taking any illegal substance.”

That’s according to his manager Mike Kogan, who told the MMA Hour (via MMA Fighting) that Lawal ingested “a supplement called S-Mass Lean Gainer by Rock Solid, which Lawal said he bought at a Max Muscle store in California and used only sporadically for ‘rehab stuff.’”

“When I went to Max Muscle, I figured you can’t buy steroids at a Max Muscle. It’s a chain store,” he said. “That’s like going to a grocery store and buying something illegal there. I guess that’s the mistake I made. When I looked at the bottle, it just had a bunch of numbers on it. It had the ingredients. I didn’t see anything that looked illegal on the bottle, to be honest with you,” Lawal said.

The FBI has disclosed that Canby Officer Jason Deason bought anabolic steroids on the job.

The accused officer purchased the steroids from Brian Jackson, strength and conditioning coach for the much-heralded Oregon City High School girls’ basketball team.

From Oregonlive.com:

Federal agents this year launched a public-corruption investigation, revealing a cozy relationship between Kroeplin and Deason in the 24-member force that allowed the officer to brazenly buy steroids while on duty and in uniform and tip off his suppliers to police inquiries, according to multiple search warrant affidavits filed in U.S. District Court.

Canby police supervisors either failed to address the problem or concealed it, federal authorities allege in the court documents. The investigation also uncovered a steroid distribution network that operated in Oregon, Washington and Arizona.

No charges have been filed in the Canby case.

Kroeplin and Canby City Administrator Mark Adcock referred all questions to the FBI. David Miller, FBI special agent in charge of the Portland office, declined to comment, citing an ongoing investigation. The federal agency lists public corruption as one of its top four priorities, and this case marks its first inquiry into steroid abuse among police in Oregon.

Dr. Linn Goldberg, head of OHSU’s Division of Health Promotion and Sports Medicine said, “You could see why a police officer might want to use them,” He added, “Sometimes they have to fight hand-to-hand. They have to restrain people. … You could see where there’s an inducement.”

New Orleans Saints guard Jamar Nesbit thinks he’s been wronged and wants vindication.

Nesbit filed a lawsuit against StarCaps, the company behind the over-the-counter dietary supplement allegedly spiked with the diuretic bumetanide.

The lawsuit seeks $235,000 for to compensate for his lost wages resulting from his four-game suspension. Nesbit was penalized by the NFL for violation of the league’s policy on anabolic steroid and related substances in late September this year.

StarCaps has recently suspended its sale of its controversial product.

Several other NFL players have tested positive for bumetanide and they all denied wrongdoing. They blamed the same StarCaps diet system for testing positive for the prohibited compound.

Among those implicated in the controversial doping case were Nesbit’s fellow Saints: running back Deuce McAllister and defensive ends Will Smith and Charles Grant. Minnesota Vikings defensive tackles Pat Williams and Kevin Williams could also face doping suspensions due to the same infringement.

Bishop Dolegiewicz died at the age of 55, after being an olympic athlete for many years. There is an implication in the story about the shot putters that he has died an “early” death due to use of anabolic steroids.  This if of course untrue, as Bishop Dolegiewicz had possibly a host of drug abuse habits.  Lets face it, these guys were generally using everything from LSD to cocaine in the 1970s, and on top of this imagine the type of hard life Bishop Dolegiewicz lived as an Olympic Athlete.  He was an Olympic Athlete and he was also a coach, that’s stress on both sides of the equation.  In general, Olympic athletes have a huge bodily and psychological stress, which shortens lifespan.  In fact, if you see the survival rate of NFL players, you see that most do not live past 60 years of age, that’s because the life of an athletes is difficult – physically and psychologically.

Bishop Dolegiewicz probably died from a combination of problems, from drug abuse, to physical abuse, to psychological abuse – the most likely problem would be the stress he faced as an Olympic athlete.  Anabolic steroids probably didn’t help his condition, since he was probably abusing steroids.  Steroid abuse is not a joke and when it’s not taken serious, it can be very bad for your health.  However, in the end, being 6’6 and 330lbs. at his death, with near obesity and diabetes in the last years, probably played a huge part in his death.

From TheStar:

Canadian shot putter Bishop Dolegiewicz, a three-time Olympian who had a larger-than-life personality to match his mountainous physique, died Tuesday night in his sleep at the age of 55.

Dolegiewicz, a Toronto native who starred at Parkdale Collegiate, won two gold medals at the Pan Am Games, two silver medals at the Commonwealth Games and 13 medals at Canadian championships. He was 11th at the 1984 L.A. Olympics and fourth in 1980 in a world’s strongest man contest.

He was later stripped of his Canadian shot put record after admitting during the Dubin Inquiry to using steroids for more than a decade.

Dolegiewicz, who had success as a coach at Southern Utah University, was suffering from cardio and circulation problems. He died in Lehi, Utah, leaving behind his wife Anna, 30, a thrower he coached.

Former teammate Bruce Pirnie said Dolegiewicz’s testimony at the Dubin Inquiry, where he also admitted to supplying steroids to athletes, cost him his coaching job at the University of Saskatchewan and took a toll on his health. Justice Charles Dubin also died this week.

“It’s definitely (a coincidence) that Bish and Justice Dubin should pass away at the same time,” said Pirnie, adding that Dolegiewicz had a positive coaching legacy in Canada. “Saskatchewan still sees the benefit of Bish’s imprint. They turn out more throwers than anyone in the country.”

Former Canadian discus champ Rob Gray was saddened by the news. “Whatever you say about the guy, he was a great competitor, a mountain of a man and a great athlete,” said Gray, who also admitted to steroid use. “He was a big, strong guy because he worked his butt off and showed us how hard you had to work to get to the next level. It’s hard to call him a role model, but he was in some ways.”

Dolegiewicz told the inquiry he regretted using steroids because of the toll it had on his mind and body and that as a coach he strongly warned athletes against them.

“I give people the examples of individuals that I have known that have gotten sick from the use of steroids and I try to come across and give the kids the message, `Look, you’re going to pay the price at some point in time,’” Dolegiewicz said during his testimony.

Pirnie said he had been pondering whether steroids had a role in Dolegiewicz’s health issues. “I would be very surprised if there wasn’t a connection,” he said.

Gray said, “I suspect it has got a lot more to do with that he was a 6-foot-6, 330-pound man who was probably overweight.”

A massive anti-doping operation was conducted by the Swedish police last week that had led to the arrest of 40 people and seizure of large quantities of anabolic steroids, weapons and ammunition. Several people were also brought in for questioning.

According to The Local, authorities conducted pre-dawn raids across the country to dismantle a large doping ring.

The incident that precipitated the nationwide investigation was the arrest of a 25-year-old man who attempted to flee the country with a bag full of money. The man was apprehended by the police on August 13 in Malmö. The suspect had also with him the name and residence address of a 51-year-old Gavle resident. Following up on that information police arrested the 51-year-old man and his girlfriend and they were put under custody for doping offenses.

“We found large quantities of doping drugs and we received signals that his sales basically encompassed the whole of Sweden and took place over the internet,” said Pär Langer of the Gävleborg police department.

The 51-year-old suspect’s computer was seized and reportedly authorities succeeded retrieving significant data that led to subsequent raids and interrogations of persons of interest.

Authorities from police departments in several districts and from the Sweden’s National Investigation have been working to discover the identity of the customers of the suspects already in custody.

“There’s much to suggest that this is the biggest doping scandal to have ever taken place in Sweden,” said Langer.

The Stockholm area seemed to be the center of the illegal trade; it was there where large number of drug sales took place that involved sales of anabolic steroids by individuals linked to fitness and bodybuilding establishments.

Jose Canseco feels sorry for so many things these days.

He’s sorry he had used steroids. He’s sorry that he has now nonexistent testosterone in his system due to his steroid use. He’s sorry he tried to smuggle into California the fertility drug he bought from Mexico to normalize his hormone levels. And most of all he’s sorry he wrote Juiced: Wild Times, Rampant ‘Roids, Smash Hits & How Baseball Got Big. And sorrier when he wrote a sequel to Juiced, which he titled Vindicated: Big Names, Big Liars, and the Battle to Save Baseball. Vindicated, many say didn’t tell that much, and that’s a great disappointment from a supposed to be tell-all book.

Canseco said he should have never written those books with kilometric titles, and that he missed the friendship he had with former teammates, particularly Mark McGwire.

“I never realized this was going to blow up as big and hurt so many people,” Canseco said in a new television special.

“The more I think about it the more I realize how wrong it was.”

Well, we’d like the front seat when Canseco says sorry to McGwire up close and personal. We’d like to know for sure if McGwire can still hit as fast and as hard as he did during his days with the Cardinals.

A scathing article from AP:

If the old Canseco made you queasy, the new one is simply sickening.

Tune in if you want to hear Canseco talk about being depressed and wanting to be left alone; watch his meeting with a doctor to try to return his testosterone levels to normal; see his beautiful girlfriend and listen to him say he has no sex drive at all.

Why stop at just an hour-long special? This is so slimy it could become a reality TV hit.
They did miss a few things, like Canseco being charged in federal court in San Diego with a misdemeanor offense of trying to bring a fertility drug across the border from Mexico. His attorney said Canseco was in Tijuana looking for Halloween decorations with a woman and her 7-year-old daughter.

And there’s no footage from his first-round knockout loss to former NFL player Vai Sikahema in a celebrity boxing match in July in Atlantic City that was briefly popular on YouTube.
But there’s enough other stuff to make you watch this train wreck.

I guess we’re supposed to feel sorry for him as he battles to regain his manhood and stay off the steroids he says he used for more than two decades. We’re supposed to empathize as he lies on a bed watching videos of his home runs and worrying about what the long-term effects of his steroids use will be.

It is a pitiful story, that’s for sure. But Canseco is hardly someone to be pitied, considering he has spent much of his adult life involved in one con job after another.

The Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office reported that Christopher Edward Abate, 44, of 2511 Mauritania Road, was charged with five felony counts of possession of controlled substance for methadone, oxandrolone, fluoxymesterone, and oxymetholone.

Abate was also charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute of oxandrolone (anavar), 42 counts of possession of prescription forms, and misdemeanor charges of possession of marijuana less than 20 grams and possession of paraphernalia. Abate was booked into the Charlotte County Jail on the drug and counterfeit-making equipment charges on a $52,100 bond.

The Sheriff’s office reported that Abate has been under surveillance for nearly five months before his arrest. His arrest also resulted to the seizure of more 3,000 pills, steroid drugs, counterfeit identification and nearly $500,000 in cash.

According to the police report, some of the vials and bottles found at the house had handwritten labels on them. There were also equipment found at the scene apparently used to fill up and seal steroid vials. Bags of raw steroid powder were also discovered during the search and seizure. Authorities also found several blank cards used for making counterfeit driver’s licenses and identification cards.

Abate also has six different licenses that contained his picture and three with different names. Also recovered from the house were blank doctor’s prescription pads for four different doctors in Florida and Connecticut. Further, among the documents seized was Abate’s release order from Federal Probation from prior prescription fraud.

Do steroids cause violence?

The short answer is: NO! The long answer is it’s not likely. Anabolic steroids are just a derivative of the hormone testosterone, which your body produces naturally as a male (and even to some extent as a female). Thus, saying that anabolic steroids are this harmful to you is akeen to saying drinking urine (urine being another natural product of the body) will make you hannibal lecter. The truth in the latest study released about steroids is skewed. It seems the researchers love the lime-ligth but forget to talk about reality of the study they present.

In the first sound bite these “steroid researchers” put out about anabolic steroids, they stated on Reuters:

Young men who use anabolic steroids are twice as likely to engage in violence than those who do not use the muscle-building drugs, U.S. researchers said on Wednesday.

While many scientists believe anabolic steroids — synthetic drugs related to male sex hormones — are linked to aggressive behavior, research has been limited. Some users refer to so-called “roid rage” fueled by the drugs.

After this, they back off their statement, in the SAME study, and say there is NO PROOF that anabolic steroids increase violence, so which one is true?

The study’s design did not allow researchers to conclude definitively than steroids were the cause of the increased violent behavior, he said.

The truth is somewhere in the middle, just like anything in life. Steroids are a hormone and, when used, should be used with extreme caution and knowledge. This, of course, goes for everything in life, take sleeping pills for example – and you know what abuse of sleeping pills can equal to. If you take 50 sleeping pills, you’re dead, that’s right, dead! So, steroid abuse is steroids, VERY serious, but so is every other form of abuse in the world.

The overall problem with this study is that it is flawed and bias towards proving somehow that steroid use causes violence, which it does NOT.

Beaver’s team looked at data on a nationally representative sample of 6,823 young men who were tracked from 1994, when they were in middle school or high school, through to 2002.

The men who used anabolic steroids either in the past year or at any time in their lives were about twice as likely to have committed at least one violent act in the past year than men who never used them — even when statistically accounting for other drug use or prior violent tendencies, Beaver said.

The men who were supposidly followed from 1994-2002, should have been using anabolic steroids 24/7/365, but they were not.  Even if they took 1 tablet of dianabol , they were part of this study.  Isn’t that medically inaccurate? where is the placebo? where is the test group with other drugs?  Let’s face it, what if 1/2 of those guys were heavy users of methamphetamine, wouldn’t that matter? or recreational drug users? or violent offenders BEFORE the study? do we know these facts? NO! because this is all done to get a soundbite and fame, not to present reality to the public.

Jose Canseco is just non stop.  Jose Canseco gave up anabolic steroids, so he’s using HCG, but then again does he have a brain.  Why would he bring HCG over the border from Mexico when you’re on of the most recognize steroid users in the USA?  After Barry Bonds, Jose Canseco is probably the most notable figure in steroids and baseball.   So why is he brining PCT (post cycle therapy) drugs over the border? is he still using anabolic steroids? obviously he is.  Has he not heard of the internet? obviously NOT! he could have easily gotten HCG over the internet from a pharmacy delivered to his home.

What we cannot understand is why does Jose Canseco need to use anabolic steroids? does he not understant the mounting political and media pressure on him to be in the public light?  It’s obvious he doesn’t understand the consequences of steroid use in the public eye.  He would rather buy steroids over the border in mexico and bring them back, then use his brain and order anabolic steroids online.  It was very obvious that Jose Canseco was/is also using human growth hormone (HGH) and probably some IGF-1 or MGF.  It depends on how much he can smuggle over the border.

The realistic situation about Jose Canseco is not going to change, as he is arrogant.  Jose Canseco doesn’t think he can be touched after his book exposing so called steroid users in baseball and sports.  Jose Canseco forgets the criminal penalties in USA for steroid use, especially since he’s a big media figure – they will make an example of him.

From San Diego News:

Former baseball star Jose Canseco was detained by immigration officials at a San Diego border crossing as he tried to bring a fertility drug from Mexico, authorities and his lawyer said yesterday.

Canseco was issued a notice to appear in federal court “relative to a smuggling violation,” U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman Lauren Mack said.

“It’s a discretion we have, to issue a notice to appear rather than make an arrest when a smaller volume of items are being smuggled,” Mack said.

Mack said no charges have been filed against Canseco, who was given the notice to appear and released Thursday night. She declined to elaborate on the allegation.

Canseco, a former major league All-Star slugger, was held for nearly 10 hours at the San Ysidro border crossing, said his Los Angeles attorney, Gregory S. Emerson, according to The Associated Press.

The AP reported that immigration agents said they searched Canseco’s car and found human chorionic gonadotropin, which is illegal without a prescription.

Emerson declined to say if Canseco was carrying the drug, which is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency for use in men. The drug helps restore production of testosterone lost in steroid users.

Officials released Canseco after he agreed to allow ICE agents to search his Los Angeles-area home, the AP reported Emerson as saying. About 10 ICE agents searched the home in the attorney’s presence yesterday as Canseco was returning from San Diego.

“They found nothing. They took nothing,” Emerson said.

Mack said Canseco is to appear in San Diego’s federal court Tuesday. Canseco has admitted using steroids during his baseball career. In his 2005 best-selling book, “Juiced,” he not only told of his own use of performance-enhancing drugs, but also claimed up to 85 percent of major leaguers used steroids. Also in 2005, Canseco testified at a congressional hearing about drugs in baseball, and said “steroids (in the game) were as prevalent in the late 1980s and 1990s as a cup of coffee.”

In 1986, Padres pitcher LaMarr Hoyt was cited for drug violations after he was detained at the San Ysidro border pedestrian crossing from Mexico. He was alleged to be carrying three grams of marijuana, 79 Valium tablets and 46 Quaaludes, U.S. Customs officials said.

Canseco played 17 seasons for seven teams in the major leagues, hitting 462 home runs. He was the 1988 American League MVP and 1986 American League Rookie of the Year while playing for the Oakland Athletics.

In June of 2006, after his major league career was over, Canseco was signed by the San Diego Surf Dawgs of the independent Golden Baseball League. But he never played a game in San Diego, being traded to the Long Beach Armada after playing just one game for the Surf Dawgs, on the road

The question on everyone’s mind is: Does LL Cool J use anabolic steroids or HGH? did he ever used steroids? or does he look so awesome via magic – maybe Harry Potter used “Magicum Steroidal” spell on him? I guess not.  Reality says that LL Cool J obviously used anabolic steroids, he’s clearly on steroids and/or HGH.  The is probably using Winstrol, Anavar and some Primoblan.  He might be also using some human growth hormone (HGH).

From AOL Sports:

Although Congress and the media have chosen to focus almost exclusively on the use of performance-enhancing drugs among athletes, there’s also a great deal of PED use among Hollywood celebrities, from Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone on down.

But one of the celebrities who certainly has the body of a steroid user — and who played a muscular football player in Any Given Sunday — says he has never used them. LL Cool J was on Late Night With Conan O’Brien last night, and when Conan brought up steroids, LL made clear that he doesn’t want to risk the testicular atrophy that is a side effect of steroid use.

“We don’t want the prunes to turn into raisins,” LL said. “I still want to matter at home, not just at the beach.”

I’m not sure that comparing his own testicles to prunes is really where LL wants to go, but point taken: Count LL as one muscular man who says no to steroids.
