A Casper woman was charged last November 10 for allegedly helping her boyfriend hide steroids just before probation officers searched their home. The woman faces a single charge of accessory after the fact to steroid possession.

Jamie Renne Steward, 28, faces the charge in Natrona County District Court. If ever she would be convicted of the crime, she will be facing a maximum of five years imprisonment.

Steward was caught by police on October 28 throwing several “testosterone-labeled” vials, syringes, a grinding ball and other items into a trash can outside their home. Steward and her boyfriend Thomas Sage Hadlock, 32, were both arrested.

Aside from those “trash” disposed by Steward, an agent from the Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation said last Tuesday that they also found text messages in Hadlock’s mobile phone, which came from Steward. She was asking “What all should I hide?” and “Is there any liquor?”

Hadlock faces felony charges of possession of steroids. He was on probation during the time of his arrest. He also faces up to five years imprisonment if convicted of felony charges. His case was transferred to District Court.

Meanwhile, Steward remains free on a $2,500 bail.

From Trib:

A judge Tuesday ruled enough evidence exists for a Casper woman to stand trial on charges that she tried to help her boyfriend hide steroids when he knew probation officers intended to search their home.

According to a new research conducted at the University of Cambridge, City traders are likely to make more than average profits when they have high morning testosterone levels.

It was hypothesized by the involved scientists that this improved performance may be because of the fact that testosterone is known to increase appetite for risk and confidence - two qualities that can easily augment the performance of any trader.

Testosterone is a steroid hormone that controls competitive encounters and sexual behavior.

From News-Medical.Net:

The researchers also speculated that if testosterone continued to rise or became chronically elevated, it could begin to have the opposite effect on a trader’s profitability by increasing risk-taking to unprofitable levels. Previous studies have shown that administered testosterone can lead to irrational decision-making. They believe that this is because testosterone has also been found to lead to impulsivity and sensation seeking, to harmful risk taking, and in extreme cases (among users of anabolic steroids) to euphoria and mania.

Testosterone may therefore underlie a secondary consequence of the ‘winner effect‘ in which a previous win in the markets leads to increased, and eventually irrational, risk taking in the next round of trading.

It was concluded that the influence of naturally produced steroids in the body, especially cortisol and testosterone, can provide insights into how and why people caught in crashes often find it tedious to make a rational decision.

T/E Ratio stands for testosterone / epitestosterone ratio. It is used to determine the relative proportion of testosterone and epitestosterone. The normal level is set at a 1:1 ratio.

T/E ratio is an important indicator of any pathological condition or external administration of any synthetic hormones. It is done by measuring the levels of testosterone glucuronide (TG) and epitestosterone glucuronide (EG) in the urine. If testosterone levels increases, TG also increases. EG, on the other hand, remains unaffected even with increase testosterone metabolism.

However, did you know that if you have flu, it might affect the result of your T/E ratio? Additionally, if you try to get the extra edge in a Friday night game, it might also alter the normal T/E ratio.

Epitestosterone is normally higher in male adolescents compared to adult males. Although epitestosterone is not considered as a performance-enhancing drug, it is banned by many sporting authorities because it can mask the presence of high levels of testosterone in the body, if the standard T/E ratio is used.

Other drugs such as NSAIDs and opioid analgesics may also affect the ratio by increasing the rate of excretion of epitestosterone metabolites.

From Test Country:

Exogenous consumption of anabolic steroidal hormone – testosterone has been associated with a significant increase in the muscle mass, stamina and endurance making it one of the most abused synthetic hormones, topping the charts ever since its discovery! For decades, a diverse array of anabolic steroids has ceremoniously been abused for exogenous performance enhancement. So, for years, efforts have been directed to find an appropriate biomarker to assess the physiologically normal levels of this magical potion and that’s how T/E ratios were discovered!

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, doctors never prescribe anabolic-androgenic steroids to young, healthy individuals to help them in building their muscles.

Although steroids can be used in legitimate medical purposes, it is still illegal to dispense the drug for the sole purpose of building muscles.

Sometimes, doctors may prescribe steroids in patients with severe anemia. They may also prescribe the drug in men not producing enough testosterone.

Steroids use especially for prolonged periods could produce adverse effects specific to each gender and age group.

In men, it could produce shrinking of the testicles, reduced sperm count, infertility, male pattern baldness, breast development or gynecomastia and an increased risk for prostate cancer.

In women, it could lead to severe growth of facial hair, baldness, changes or abnormality in the menstrual cycle leading to complete cessation, enlargement of the clitoris and deepening of the voice.

Adolescents may run the risk of suffering stunted growth due to premature maturation of their skeletal structures. Puberty changes are accelerated, and they may not reach their maximum height if they take anabolic steroids before or during their growth spurt.

Taking steroids is never smart or healthy. It may shorten your lives instead of prolonging it. It could bring about problems that could hurt you for the rest of your life.

From The Cypress Times:

Steroids do make users bulk up, but the health risks are high. It’s true, on steroids biceps bulge; abs ripple; and quads balloon. But that’s just on the outside. Steroid users may be very pleased when they flex in the mirror, but they may create problems on the inside.

Two men were sentenced at the Sheffield Crown Court on 5 October 2009 after being found involved in a conspiracy to sell and supply Class C drugs, including HGHs.

Richard Flynn, a heavy goods vehicle technician from Rawmarsh (Rotherham), and Christopher Taylor, a house husband and gym owner from Rawmarsh, were sentenced after a joint operation was followed by the South Yorkshire Police and MHRA.

While Richard was sentenced to 12-month imprisonment, suspension for 18-month, and additional penalty of 120-hour community service, Christopher was sentenced to 9-month imprisonment, suspension for 12-month, and additional penalty of 80-hour community service.

From Medicalnewstoday.com:

The operation netted seizures of substantial quantities of Class C drugs - testosterone, methandienone, and oxymetholone. £9,000 cash hidden in a cupboard under the stairs was also seized from Flynn’s home. The total estimated street value of the drugs seized was £7,000.

The pair were also involved in the importation of the human growth hormone, Hygetropin, with an estimated value of £96,000.

Tests on the products seized during the investigation had shown that both the oxymetholone and Hygetropin contained no trace of the stated active ingredients.

MHRA Head of Operations, Danny Lee-Frost, said the case highlighted the robust action taken by the MHRA against those who illegally sell and supply medicines.

The counsel defending Flynn remarked that he came in contact with steroids with the aim of participating in the World’s Strongest Man competition.

A team of researchers involved in ascertaining the impact of anabolic steroid use on power lifters years after the use is no longer prevalent has found that changes in the shoulder and quadriceps attained by steroid use tend to stay with steroid users years after discontinuation of steroids.

It is noteworthy to note here that anabolic steroids are synthetic hormones that are derived from testosterone, the male hormone and their use has much been in debate in professional sports where muscle strength is paramount.

From Sciencedaily.com:

Findings

The researchers found that several years after anabolic steroid withdrawal, and with no or low current strength-training, the muscle fiber area intensity, the number of nuclei per fiber in the quadriceps was still comparable to that of athletes that were currently performing high intensity strength-training. They also discovered that the shoulder-neck fiber areas were comparable to high-intensity trained athletes and the number of nuclei per fiber was even higher than found in the current steroid-using group.

Conclusions

According to the lead researcher, Dr. Eriksson, ”It is possible that the high number of nuclei we found in the muscle might be beneficial for an athlete who continues or resumes strength training because increased myonuclei opens up the possibility of increasing protein synthesis, which can lead to muscle mass.”  He added, “Based on the characteristics between doped and non-doped power lifters, we conclude that a period of anabolic steroid usage is an advantage for a power lifter in competition, even several years after they stop taking a doping drug.”

It is evident from this study that even a period of anabolic steroid usage is more than enough to be an advantage for a power lifter in competitive events, even after passage of several years after doping has been discontinued by the power lifter.

The charges followed a joint operation conducted by the MHRA and South Yorkshire Police.

During the operation, police authorities seized substantial amounts of Class C drugs such as testosterone, methandienone, and oxymetholone. A £9,000 worth of cash was found inside a cupboard under the stairs in Flynn’s home. Drugs seized during the investigation are estimated at £7,000 in street value.

Tests made on the products seized revealed that both oxymetholone and Hygetropin contained no trace of the stated active ingredients.

Furthermore, the two men were also involved in the importation of the human growth hormone , Hygetropin, which has an estimated street value of £96,000.

Flynn faces a twelve-month imprisonment, 18 months suspension from his job, and an additional 120-hour penalty community service.

Meanwhile, Taylor was sentenced to nine-month imprisonment, suspended for twelve months, and an 80-hour community service as penalty.

MHRA Head of Operations, Danny Lee-Frost believed that the pair endangered the lives of those around them in exchange for their personal gain.

From the Medical News Today:

MHRA Head of Operations, Danny Lee-Frost, said the case highlighted the robust action taken by the MHRA against those who illegally sell and supply medicines.

“As the UK regulator of medicines, we strive to ensure that only the competent and honest are licensed to deal in medicines, and take swift action against anyone who acts otherwise.

According to Polk County Police Department Chief Kenny Dodd, two of his officers John Garrett, 41, of Silver Creek, and Shawn Bates, 27, of Silver Creek both resigned effective Sept. 21 before their termination date.

On the other hand, Police Chief Jamie Newsome of Cedartown Police Department also announced that one of his officers, Scott Couch, 36, of Cedartown, also tendered resignation effective October 5 before his termination date.

The resignations were a result of an investigation, which started on September 2 at the county police department.

Dodd said Bates’ wife called him because his husband was acting “strange.” During an investigation, they discovered that Bates and Garrett ordered the ingredients to manufacture anabolic steroids. They converted the ingredients to liquid form before they consumed it.

Further investigations made were under Garrity warning. That means, any answers provided by a police officer during an internal investigation may not be used against him in a criminal proceeding. The warning informs a police officer that he will be subjected to investigation for violation of departmental rules.

Although Bates admitted to using steroids, Garrett denied any wrongdoing. Newsome also admitted to providing one vial of injectable testosterone to Garrett.

From Cedartown Standard:

With the officers’ resignations, there will be no further action taken by the local agencies. Dodd noted that the officers’ statements having been made under Garrity Warnings precludes using their testimony in any kind of criminal indictment.

Just like the new rule proposed by New Jersey Racing Commission executive director Frank Zanzuccki for standardbreds, a similar rule was proposed regarding the testing program and penalties for anabolic-androgenic steroids use in thoroughbreds.

Last Monday, officials of the New Jersey Racing Commission proposed that thoroughbred racehorses’ use of anabolic steroids must be banned. It could be permitted at very low specified levels, provided it cannot affect the horse’s performance in a race. Four anabolic steroids, namely, boldenone, nandrolone, stanozolol and testosterone, in trace amounts below 200 picograms/ milliliter are approved for use in horses. Trainers caught violating this policy could have their license suspended and a hefty fine will be imposed.

According to the commission, the new rule could be a positive deterrent on the use of anabolic-androgenic steroids. It will possible reduce the number of competing horses with anabolic steroids in their system.

It would help promote fairness in wagering, thus result in promotion of horseracing. It could significantly improve the racetrack attendance rate as well as the number of those who wager.

This new rule would be similar to those implemented in more than 20 states in recent years.

From Asbury Park Press:

New Jersey regulations lagged until a state appeals court reversed a ruling that prevented officials from pursuing new guidelines. An organization representing horsemen had argued that the racing commission acted before a study on the topic had been completed.

According to as study conducted by the Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) researchers, deficiencies in androgen hormones, particularly testosterone may be linked increased incidence of cardiovascular disease in men. However, it is alleged to increase the risk of prostate cancer in men.

In the Journal of Andrology, several studies were published linking steroid hormones deficiency to increased mortality in men.

BUSM researchers, in collaboration with researchers from Lahey Clinic Northshore, Peabody, Massachusetts, evaluated several of the published studies linking androgen deficiencies with cardiovascular disease. They have determined that a relationship indeed exist between the two factors.

According to lead author Dr. Abdulmaged M. Traish, professor of biochemistry and urology and director of Laboratories for Sexual Medicine, Institute for Sexual Medicine at BUSM, androgen replacement therapy could be a potential treatment to reduce risk for cardiovascular disease in men. It should be carefully monitored, however, to detect any signs of prostate diseases in men.

Furthermore, the researchers recommend large, long-term, double blind, randomized, placebo controlled clinical trials be performed in order to establish the role of androgen deficiency in increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease in men.

Traish added that these initial findings suggest further studies to be conducted regarding the role of androgens in preventing cardiovascular disease in men.

From new Kerala:

Washington, September 26: The deficiency of steroid hormones called androgens, such as testosterone, may be behind cardiovascular disease, according to a study.
