Matechuk obtained the second chance to play professional football


Jordan Matechuk, a Canadian football player was busted by the US Customs and Border Patrol (CBP). He was caught having more than 540 tablets of oral steroids and more than 260 ml of injectable steroids, when he was returning to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats training camp. Matechuck affirmed that his depression was responsible for the decision to purchase and use anabolic steroids.
Matechuk said that he administered anabolic steroids and marijuana in order to be capable to manage his depression. Matechuk confirmed that earlier he had used anti-depressants. Discontinuing using anti-depressants probably resulted in usage of steroids.
Matechuk noted that he experienced depression. He started to administer anabolic steroids and marijuana in order to feel better. Jordan Matechuk acknowledged that he was responsible for this condition. He wouldn’t have stopped utilizing anti-depressant medicines. But he stopped using them. This factor led to intake of steroids.
Jordan Matechuk pleaded guilty to possession of steroids and marijuana.
However he faced up to 2 years in prison, he was sentenced to 90 years in prison. But he was released after he served only 60 days.
Jordan Matechuk reported that there were some other conditions but he decided to keep them out of public knowledge.
The Canadian Football League gave him the second possibility to play professional football.
He wrote a letter and sent it to each member of the team. He described his shame for the arrest linked with possession and usage of steroids. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats didn’t desire to receive the steroid user back to the team.
But the Winnipeg Blue Bombers decided to provide him the second chance. Thus, Matechuk was happily accepted by this team.

Australian bodybuilder imported over 3, 000 g of raw testosterone powder


Brenton Dowell, a bodybuilder from Australia, was caught possessing and illegally importing significant quantities of anabolic steroids in March 2011. It was determined that these steroids could be sufficient to be used for more than sixty years by a person. Many people believed that this bodybuilder would be sentenced to imprisonment. But Brenton Dowell avoided imprisonment successfully.
The Australian Customs and Border Protection Service confirmed that Brenton Dowell had attempted to smuggle more than 3 kg of testosterone powder. The packages which contained the raw powder were mailed in September, October and November 2011. They were directed to 3 various places: to Dowell’s home, to his father and his stepfather.
In fact, such large amounts of raw testosterone powder could be bought just for manufacture of anabolic steroids by underground labs in order to sell them on the black market. 3, 000 g of raw steroid powder could be used for preparing of 1500 10-ml vials with ready medications.
Len Hartnett, the defense attorney for Brenton Dowell, claimed that the testosterone powder had been bought for his client’s personal intake. He noted that Dowell’s use of steroids was a response to bullying attacks that he received, when he was an overweight kid. So, according to the defense attorney Len Hartnett, Brenton Dowell became addicted to bodybuilding and began to use steroids because he was an overweight kid.
The judge Graeme Hicks was impressed by affirmations of the defense attorney Len Harnett that presented experiences of Dowell in his childhood. He mentioned that it could be concluded that Brenton Dowell had become obsessed by bodybuilding.
So, the judge believed the arguments of the defense attorney. Based on the descriptions and arguments of the defense attorney, the judge Graeme Hicks believed that the bodybuilder Brenton Dowell had bought steroids personal administration and for sales to his friends in order to pay off personal usage.
The bodybuilder Brenton Dowell was sentenced to a fine of 10, 000 dollars and probation of two years.

Steroids are demonized for death of a teenager


The pathologist Georgina Howarth confirmed that the death of Mohammed Belkhair, a 19-year person, had been caused by administration of anabolic steroids. She noticed that anabolic steroids had caused heart failure that had resulted in the death.
According to the doctor Howarth, if this guy had not used steroids, he would have been alive today. She confirmed that usage of steroids was the only reason of the death. The pathologist added that the death of this guy was a lesson for every person to stay far from such preparations.
Mohammed Belkhair’s sister found him vomiting in his bedroom on May, 2011. The boy admitted that he had utilized steroids. The death occurred at the same day. It was reported that steroids had been presented in his system.
According to certain articles, DHEA and Tamoxifen were two steroids that were found in the system of the guy. DHEA is sold overall in Britain and in the USA.
But in fact, the news is misleading. Tamoxifen doesn’t belong to anabolic steroids. This preparation has been originally introduced in order to cure individuals who have breast cancer. It has become popular among athletes and bodybuilders that utilize steroids because of its capacity to prevent aromatization of other products.
It seems to be curiously but nothing was noted about arrest of Mohammed Belkhair. This factor might contribute in his death. This guy was arrested on the night before his death by police officers. 4 various anabolic steroids were found in his room. But the names of the steroids were not mentioned.
However the police encounter and arrest occurred some hours before the death of this boy, the doctor Georgina Howarth didn’t investigate these conditions. Furthermore, she didn’t provide any explanation about this condition. Police officers revealed nothing as well.
Since it was reported that Mohammed Belkhair had bought steroids online, the news linked with risks of buying steroids via internet were spread in the country. So, it turned out to be convenient for altering the laws in order to make ordering of steroids via internet illegal in Britain. The British government desires to make personal importation of steroids per mail and per internet criminal. It will be in near future. However it is said that these laws will be enacted before the 2012 Olympic Games, they are not still enacted.

WADA can’t convince British government to change the legislation linked with usage of steroids


Officials of the UK will be not capable to stop sportspeople importing steroids to the UK, when they come to participate in the 2012 Summer Olympics. However intake of steroids is banned in sports, personal intake of these medicines is not illegal in the UK. Just distribution of steroids is claimed to be illegal in this country. So, if anybody wants to import quantity of anabolic steroids which is evidentially large, he/she will not be permitted to do it.
Before Olympic Games took place in Australia, Canada and China, governments of these countries changed legislation related to import and usage of steroids at least temporally. But the British government doesn’t want to alter steroid legislation for the 2012 Olympics.
Ironically, while the government of the UK doesn’t desire to make personal usage of steroids criminal, Britain sportspersons are banned for lifetime, if they administer anabolic steroids. As for the WADA Code, sportspersons who use banned drugs are banned for 2 years.
The Olympic minister Hugh Robertson notices that it is important to have a universal policy linked with sentencing. This minister insists on at least 4 years or even longer.  Although he is supported by the British Olympic Association, the UK Anti-Doping Agency doesn’t support such harsh punishment. Andy Parkinson, the CEO of the UK Anti-Doping Agency, confirms that certain sanctions must be softened.
The Olympic minister realizes that there are various opinions in sports and it’s not well but he doesn’t ask the CEO of the UKAD to resign.
The spokesperson for the minister has noticed that any sportsperson can have steroids in his/her luggage, when he/she comes to London. But the amount of steroids must confirm that he/she possesses them just for personal administration. The spokesman has noted that it is not criminal for a sportsperson to apply steroids under laws of the UK but if any athlete is caught taking banned products, he/she will be punished under anti-doping laws.
The UKAD noted that they would collaborate with border control officials. Information about sportspersons will be utilized by anti-doping officials.
5, 000 drug test, including 1, 000 blood tests will be conducted by the International Olympic Committee.

Steroid users should realize that prolonged usage of steroids may lead to severe heart disorders


Prolonged administration of anabolic steroids can lead to various heart problems. It increases dangers connected with heart failure. These affirmations have been noted in a study that has been written in Circulation: Heart Failure, an American Heart Association journal.
Anabolic-androgenic steroids act like testosterone that occurs naturally and which is responsible for development of male sex characteristics.
The leader of the research Aaron L. Baggish claims that in addition to the fact that anabolic steroids are illicit, they are associated with undesirable effects for health. He notes that it is the first time, when negative effect of long-term application of steroids on heart is clearly realized.
The research manifested that the left ventricle in steroid users was essentially weaker during contraction than in those that didn’t apply steroids.
A left ventricle that acts appropriately pumps out 55-70 % of the blood which fills the heart.
 12 steroid users were enrolled in the research. It was displayed that the left ventricles of 83 % these steroid users acted inappropriately: they pumped out less than 55 % of the blood.   Among the examined non-users only one person had disorders related to the function of the left ventricle.
The study demonstrated that ventricle relaxation among steroid users was lowered by circa half. It was 0, 93 among consumers of steroids; 1, 80 – among non-users. The structure of the left ventricle was the same in both groups: consumers of steroids and non-users.
It was applied the method “Doppler echocardiography” for evaluation of function and structure of the left ventricle. This technique uses ultrasound for creation of moving pictures of the heart and its blood flow.
 The group of steroid users included 12 weightlifters at the age of about 40 that said that they administered circa 675 mg of steroids a week for 9 years. The other group included weightlifters that didn’t use steroids. Both groups had the same physical activity and similar risks linked with heart diseases. But they had differences in body weight and muscle size. The steroid users had more muscular physiques.
However small number of steroid users has been included in the study, the results have manifested that there is a close link between administration of steroids and heart impairment.
The scientists decided to conduct further researches in order to support the findings.
Baggish and his colleagues hope that people will recognize that application of steroids can lead to heart troubles and various unexplained heart disorders in young persons.

Jay Cutler spends more time for eating than for trainings


Bodybuilding doesn’t belong to glamorous sports. Any bodybuilder can support this statement. People who are involved in bodybuilding spend much time at gyms, training; they prepare appropriate meal and make continuous researches. What is this work done for? – Only for 30 seconds on stage. Undoubtedly, if bodybuilders achieve high results, they get awards, praise, and admiration of others. Their photos are posted on covers of fit magazines. They become well-known.
Unluckily, the most of bodybuilders never reach this level because it is needed a lot of work and money for this goal. But any bodybuilder hopes to achieve this level: to be a top bodybuilder, to get money and other awards. If you have any interest to find out what is needed for success in bodybuilding, you may look at Jay Cutler and certain other individuals. You can also find out role of steroids for success in bodybuilding.
Jay Cutler is one of the most prominent bodybuilders in history. Furthermore, he has received Mr. Olympia titles 4 times. This bodybuilder spends much time for sports. He notes that he doesn’t make plans. He eats around the clock. Jay Cutler consumes 4, 000 – 7, 000 calories daily. Chicken breasts are at the center of his many meals.
It is interesting to notice that Jay Cutler spends more time for eating than for workouts. He lifts for circa two hours and gets cardio an hour per day. Jay Cutler states that his day differs essentially from thoughts of people about it. Individuals who are not involved in bodybuilding believe that bodybuilders train 8 hours per day. They suggest that if they apply steroids, they will have the same appearance like professional bodybuilders.
Jay Cutler confirms that steroids are not everything in bodybuilding but they play an essential role in it. He confirms that if anyone desires to reach obvious success in sports, he/she has to take steroids. Ron Stevens, who is in the sport 15 years, supports the statement of Jay Cutler about steroids. He notices that it is impossible to compete without application of these medications. After several shows Ron Stevens made the decision to use steroids.
Stevens is also a dedicated bodybuilder like Jay Cutler. He consumes much food which could be sufficient for a family that consists of five members.
The most of bodybuilders haven’t obtained great supplement contracts. They don’t have enough money in order to support their efforts and obtain titles of Mr. Olympia.
In fact, the most of dedicated bodybuilders have regular jobs and dream that they will achieve obvious success one day.
As for Jay Cutler, he had two jobs. This bodybuilder worked and spent each dollar he got for bodybuilding. Finally, he reached great success. His each effort was paid off.
Meditating about Jay Cutler, any bodybuilder can be encouraged to hope that he will succeed significantly one day. Infamous bodybuilders can dream at least.

It is evident that the UFC doesn’t do everything which is possible in the struggle against doping


The UFC President Dana White tries to defend UFC efforts against administration of prohibited medications.  Dana White notes that the UFC fights seriously to push prohibited medicines out of sports. He confirms that they do more than any other sport organization for this need.
Unluckily, statements of the UFC President are pronounced just for public relations purposes. They are totally false. The UFC doesn’t do more than any other sport organization, struggling against usage of prohibited medications.
The UFC President confirms that it is impossible to perform random drug testing in the UFC. He notes that they have 375 athletes under contract. Dana White notices that it is impossible to perform random tests because these sportspersons live everywhere; they travel around the world. Dana White finds it unreal to travel in different countries, seeking these 375 persons, in order to test them continually.
While The UFC President wants to prove that it is impossible to perform random drug testing of 375 UFC fighters, other sport organizations do it with their athletes. They perform random testing successfully.
It isn’t entirely clear what happens actually. Does Dana White want to mislead public about application of performance-enhancing drugs by the UFC fighters? Or is he ignorant completely, when it comes to the Code of the World Anti-Doping Agency?
The Chief Executive Officer of the US Anti-Doping Agency thinks that the UFC does everything in order to avoid agreement with the laws of the WADA. They have own rules and fight against the WADA laws. Although the UFC confirms that they try to protect their sports from intake of banned substances by the WADA laws, the reality shows that it is not true. The UFC laws are miserable in comparison with those of the WADA. Try to understand it!

Why is people’s attention drawn especially by the interview of Mike Wallace with Roger Clemens?


Mike Wallace, a well-known investigative reporter, who was one of the initial correspondents of CBS’ 60 Minutes died, when he was 93 years old. This journalist made brilliant interviews with world famous figures. The latest stories were connected with the baseball star Roger Clemens and accusations linked with usage of anabolic steroids and HGH by this sportsperson. Mike Wallace’s last appearance on TV was linked with this case.
The interview with Roger Clemens about steroids was broadcast in January, 2008. Rusty Hardin, the defense attorney for Roger Clemens, arranged the appearing of this former baseball player in the Show 60 Minutes. Roger Clemens had to defense himself against accusations of his former personal coach Brian McNamee. This trainer accused Roger Clemens in usage of anabolic steroids and HGH. He collaborated with investigators of Mitchell Report, when they tried to determine the extent of steroid use in the Major League Baseball.
Wallace didn’t enforce Clemens to tell that he applied steroids. He just encouraged him to prove to others that he had taken neither steroids, nor HGH. Clemens affirmed that he would pull a tractor with his teeth, if he had used steroids.
The interview of Clemens was an unfortunate public relations ploy for the attorney Rusty Hardin. It was not a perceptive interview. But it renewed the interest after Wallace’s death.
In fact, Wallace presented much more substantial interviews during his career. The steroid interview with Roger Clemens was not the most interesting. Why did it draw all persons’ attention?
Other interviews of Wallace are quite interesting. Wallace made an interview with the lawyer of the president Richard Nixon and the assistant to the president for Domestic Affairs John Ehrlichman during the Watergate scandal. Wallace defined the Watergate scandal as “perjury”. He named such methods of Richard Nixon, as thefts, spying, obstruction of justice, etc. The scandal caused resignation of the president Richard Nixon.
The Iranian leader Ayatollah Khomeini was also interviewed by Wallace. Wallace named him a “lunatic”. However, he was quoting the president Anwar el-Sadat of Egypt.
Another person that was interviewed by Wallace was the Vice President of Research and Development at a tobacco company. Jeffrey Wigand admitted that executives of the company lied before the Congress about their knowledge about nature of nicotine.
However these interviews were significant, numerous persons directed their attention to insignificant interview with Roger Clemens. It may be because while lying of Roger Clemens before the Congress may lead to federal war on steroids, the war on nicotine will never take place.

Findings related to role of mustard for enhancement of lean muscle mass


Certain recent studies have determined several positive effects of mustard. It is known by everyone that it is an excellent remedy that adds pleasant flavor to meal. Furthermore, it has been determined that mustard may help to lose fat and improve physical appearance.
A research related to mustard has been led by Debora Esposito and his colleagues at North Carolina University in Kannapolis (USA). It has been claimed under results of the study that a compound which is named “homobrassinolide” found in mustard and other related herbs is capable to increase lean muscle mass and endurance in mammals.
28-Homobrassinolide is a brassinosteroid. It is a type of steroid which is contained in plants which are included in Brassica family. It has been known that it has ability to induce growing plants. But no one has been aware about its function in mammals. The specialists have defined that homobrassinolide has ability to cause anabolic effects in mammals. It induces increasing protein synthesis, stimulates appetite and enhances muscle mass through increase of number and size of muscle fibers in animals.
Healthy rats have been implicated in the study. They have been given oral homobrassinolide during 24 days. Dual-emission x-ray absorptiometry analysis has been used in order to monitor changes in weight, food consumption and composition of rats’ bodies. It has been observed that animals who have been given homobrassinolide have received essentially more muscle mass than those that have not received this compound.
Increase of muscle size indicates about a higher basal metabolic rate. Enhanced BMR is associated with great caloric burning that helps to remain lean.
So, the research has clearly displayed that homobrassinolide enhances protein synthesis, increases size and number of muscle fibers that play an important role for increase of strength.
Experts suppose that such plants, as mustard, can be applied for more increased brassinosteroid content. It can help to have lean muscle mass, enhance it and prevent some health problems.
It is suggested that future supplement and medicine industry will elaborate preparations which will be efficacious in case of several illnesses linked with muscle wasting. Such preparations may be used as alternative preparations to synthetic steroids because the first ones will probably cause minimal or no side consequences.
Leaves of mustard are low-calorie. They are rich in antioxidants. Leaves of mustard cause anti-inflammatory effects. Furthermore, they represent an excellent source of iron, magnesium, fiber, selenium and phosphorous.
Mustard may be applied for preparing salads, curds and tempering. It would be useful to consume at least one teaspoon of mustard with water or meal in order to obtain some benefits.

Numerous famous athletes bought steroids and other related medications from the doctor Beltran


A steroid investigation by Mossos d’Esqudra and Spain’s Policia Nacional resulted in arrest of 10 persons that were involved in a steroid ring. These persons provided top amateur and professional sportspersons and even Olympic athletes with anabolic steroids, HGH, EPO, CERA and other related medications.  The operation was called “Operacion Skype”. The steroid ring was located in Barcelona.
The investigation was initially connected with the professional cyclist David Garcia Dapena who tested positive for EPO after the 2010 Vuelta a Espana. It was defined that the cyclist had high hematocrit levels that indicated about administration of EPO.
Garcia didn’t deny administration of the forbidden medicine. He collaborated with the police. The cyclist acknowledged that he had bought medications with performance-enhancing effects from the physician Alberto Beltran Nino.
It was determined that Beltran had been the leader of an organization linked with sophisticated doping. This organization supplied cyclists and other athletes with prohibited medications. It was also defined that several sportspersons who took part in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the 2010 Vuelta a Espana, the 2009 Tour du Portugal and the 2012 Spanish Athletics Championships were included in the group of sportspersons who purchased steroids and other banned preparations from this doping organization.
It was even earlier suspected that Beltran supplied athletes with steroids and other related medicines and taught them how to avoid detection. This physician was arrested in Italy after he was caught driving his car that was full of steroids and other related medicines.
The Portuguese professional cyclist Nuno Ribeiro accused the physician Beltran in injecting him with banned medicines after he tested positive for CERA in 2009.
Jose Luis Blanco, a sprinter, assisted in the steroid investigation that had been led against Beltran after this sportsman tested positive for EPO at the 2012 Spanish Athletics Championships.
Beltran moved to Bahrain in 2009. Since that time the physician had no any direct contact with any sportsperson.
Nevertheless, the police suppose that he has set up a team of intermediaries in different countries. They have purchased steroids and other related medications and supplied top sportspeople with them.
Beltran was detained in Madrid in March 2012 by police officials. He was caught having AICAR and TB-500.
However no any sportsperson has tested positive for these products, it is supposed that some athletes have intended to take these products.

What is it necessary to comprehend about AndroGel dosage in order to get needed results?

It is usually advised to start with the AndroGel dosage of 5 mg a day. The dose is changed during the therapy. If levels of testosterone are very decreased, the quantity must be enhanced. If the levels are higher than the normal rate, the therapy with this preparation must be stopped. The measure should be regulated only by specialists but not by those who use this product.

Young prostitutes from Bangladesh apply corticosteroids to improve appearance


Teenage females in Bangladesh that are involved in prostitution administer steroids in order to add weight and bulk up. It has been reported by Reuters. The article’s headline has the following words: “dark steroid secret”. It is noted that prostitutes from Bangladesh use steroids in order to look better. Of course, the first thoughts that come in mind in this situation are connected with abuse of anabolic steroids. But reading the article completely and more attentively, anybody may comprehend that it is written not about anabolic steroids but about corticosteroids.
One of corticosteroids that are getable at pharmacies of Bangladesh is known under the trade name Oradexon. It is not required to have a prescription in order to get this medicine. It costs about 15 taka which equal to 0, 18 USD dollars. Another name of this medicine is Dexamethasone. This is an anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant medicine that is directed for cure of people that experience various diseases. This drug is over 25 times more powerful that the natural steroid hormone cortisol.
90 % of prostitutes at the 15 legal whorehouses from Bangladesh take the corticosteroid Oradexon. 90 % equal to 900 teenage female prostitutes that take this corticosteroid continually. They utilize it willingly or are enforced to do it. So, some of them are enforced to apply it. But others take this preparation willingly because it is affirmed that corticosteroids have ability to add strength and improve health.
It seems to be ironically but sex workers from Bangladesh  that apply corticosteroids have the same purposes like those that encourage bodybuilders to apply anabolic steroids. Sex workers use corticosteroids in order to improve physical appearance, add weight and increase appetite.
It is confirmed that Oradexon can give healthy appearance to consumers. It is appreciated by customers. A lady who is involved in prostitution in Bangladesh says that customers are looking for healthy girls. Since she needs money to pay her bills and loans, she needs customers each day. If she doesn’t have any customer a day, she doesn’t have what to eat. Furthermore, she tries to earn money for her son.
Actually, side consequences which can be provoked because of corticosteroids are much more severe than those that can appear due to application of anabolic steroids. Corticosteroids may affect immune system, cause osteoporosis and insulin resistance, increase appetite essentially, and enhance weight and fat.
Experts try to draw people’s attention to abuse of corticosteroids and possible adverse consequences of them.

Application of AndroGel for bodybuilding!
Besides general directions to this drug, you must obey some particular guidelines, when it comes to application of AndroGel for bodybuilding. Sportspersons who want to promote enhancing muscle mass due to this drug must perform exercises that implicate big muscles during application of this medication. Bench presses, leg presses, squats and arm curls have to present. As for cardiovascular workouts, they should be avoided during administration of AndroGel for bodybuilding. It is important to have also proper diets, if you want to receive brilliant effects. You meal should contain much protein and starchy carbohydrate.

D. J. Williams and Ryan McBean were sentenced to suspensions because they gave “non-human” urine samples to a drug testing officer


The National Football League sentenced to suspensions D. J. Williams, a linebacker, and Ryan McBean, a defensive lineman, of the team Denver Broncos for violation of steroid policy. They were suspended from 6 games. But they were not banned for application of steroids. They didn’t test positive for steroids or other forbidden medicines. They were accused in providing “non-human” urine samples to the drug testing officer.
D. J. William said in an interview that he had never tested for any prohibited medication during eight years of his career. The football player added that he was proud of his records. The linebacker of the NFL claimed that he was also proud of his manner in that he conducted himself, being a sportsperson.
Peter Schaffer, the defensive attorney for McBean, affirmed that the NFL had violated rights of the defensive lineman. He noted that since McBean had never tested positive for any prohibited medication, the NFL didn’t have any right to ban him.
Peter Schaffer noticed that he intended to make it clear that neither D. J. Williams, nor Ryan McBean tested positive for banned preparations.
A lawsuit was filed in Denver County Court against bans of these football players.
The players stated that the drug testing officer had violated certain rules related to the procedure of collecting urine samples.
Peter Schaffer noticed that several similarities had been between his client and Ryan Braun. Braun won his appeal linked with his suspension from 50 games for intake of testosterone. Ryan Braun could prove that the drug testing officer Dino Laurenzi violated steroid policy.
As for Laurenzi, he was defended and supported by various anti-doping agencies. The WADA also supported this drug testing officer. It was claimed that there was the same procedure of collecting and sending urine samples not only for the MLB but also for the WADA.
But as for the drug testing officer that collected samples of Williams and McBean, another attitude was displayed to him. He was fired by the NFL for incorrect doing his duty.
At the hearing the NFL administrators acknowledged that the drug testing officer violated the rules linked with collection of urine samples.
Nevertheless, the appeal on behalf of the players was rejected.

Requirements in pharmaceutical and supplement industries


What may be called “a medication”? The FDA notices that a medicine is a substance; it isn’t a supplement. It is administered for diagnosis, cure, prevention of maladies, for appropriate influence on body’s functions. It is possible to conclude that a medicine is a medicine which has nothing common with politics and great money.
But it is possible certain confusion today. A law that has been introduced in 1994 by Senators Orrin Hatch and Tom Harkin has caused the confusion between supplements and medicines. Thus, mega-billion dollar supplements industry has promoted developing the disorder in clear definitions. Consumers’ ignorance and certain legislative statements with doubled sense have played great role in creation of following conception: anything that is sold may be used without dangers.
This incorrect conception caused various serious situations. For example, over a year ago two young soldiers of the U. S. Army died due to usage of so-called “dietary supplements” Jack3d and OxyElite Pro. The case is still investigated. In fact, it has been defined that those soldiers had utilized an amphetamine-like synthetic substance which has been called “dimethylamylamine”. It affected their cardiovascular and nervous systems. Since it has altered function of bodies, it is a medication. However it is a forbidden compound applied by sportspeople, it is available at the Vitamin Shoppe or GNC.
Health stores offer for sales preparations which are similar to that substance mentioned above. They are labeled as dietary supplements but it is not true.
Another preparation is DHEA. It is a steroid that may be converted in consumers’ bodies into anabolic steroids or neurohormonal steroids. This aspect influences on physiological functions of body. Is it a dietary supplement actually?
Another preparation that is sold as a dietary supplement is RockHard Weekend. It contains different substances. But does anyone know which substances are contained in the bottle? Can anybody assure that they are safe for usage?
One of people’s mistakes is that they meditate the following way: if any preparation is derived from plants, it is safe for intake. A lot of persons affirm that such supplements can’t affect body’s functions. It is wrong to think this way. There are plants which are poisonous. It is not allowed to consume them.
Hemlock was the poison which caused Socrates’ death. It was derived from certain herb. Ricin which is claimed to be one of the most toxicant substances on the Earth is derived from a castor been roots. That’s why it is important to know what you consume in order to avoid taking products which contain any poison, regardless they are from herbs or not.
Why are companies allowed to offer for sales medications as if they were supplements? Supplements don’t pass any FDA control. Here we can say about statements with doubled sense. The Hatch-Harken law allows the supplement industry to introduce substances which are labeled as supplements. But are they actually supplements? Certain medications are getable, being labeled as dietary supplements. But it is wrong entirely. These products may be unsafe.
Does anyone suppose that anabolic steroids and other related medications may be labeled as dietary supplements? Do they supplement or treat? A term was elaborated in order to prevent utilizing medical terms. This term is “to support”. What does “to support” mean? Isn’t it a wink to the term “to cure”?
The FDA wants to establish control over supplements. There will be a requirement for all new supplements to be safe.
Pharmaceutical companies spend great amount of dollars in order to define whether new medications are safe. Some of them fail to be called “safe” due to severe unwanted results. But as for manufacturers of dietary supplements, they don’t have these troubles because there do not have such regulations in supplement industry.
Supplement requirements are connected with money and not with science. Actually, they should have the same requirements like those which are established for pharmaceutical companies.

Interesting truth about Anavar results

This medication is used not just by sportspersons but also by common persons who want to improve appearance. One of the most valuable advantages is that   it is not difficult to keep Anavar results. Positive effects of this medication are shown as well, when it is applied for certain therapeutic purposes.

Coaches encourage young sportspersons to administer steroids


Brian McNamee claims that trainers are the principal persons who induce intake of anabolic steroids. The convicted distributor of steroids affirms that trainers have the most relevant influence on decisions of young athletes to use forbidden substances. Their influence is bigger than one of street dealers who offer prohibited medications for sales, trying to convince young sportspeople that they can have great success due to application of these medications. Brian McNamee supposes that trainers and the society teach young athletes that they must win at any cost. This aspect pressures students that go info sports.

The BOA doesn’t want to change the law related to lifetime bans of dopers


The British Olympic Association put efforts to justify itself for the aspect that it breaks laws of the World Anti-Doping Agency. According to rules of the WADA, punishment for administration of anabolic steroids and other related drugs should be unvarying in the whole  world. The penalty that is indicated for an athlete that has taken banned medications for the first time is sentencing to suspension of 2 years.
But the British Olympic Association thinks that such punishment is not sufficient. The BOA sentences consumers of steroids for life-time bans from taking part in the Olympics. The WADA notices that this rule of the BOA contradicts the WADA Code which is unvarying.
Lord Moynihan, the chairman of the BOA, hasn’t agreed to change the law. As a result, a hearing has been scheduled to be at a Court of Arbitration for Sports in London.
The sportspersons that had utilized banned preparations were banned by the International Olympic Committee from participations in Olympics under the Osaka Rule.
Lord Moynihan noted that the law of the BOA linked with life-time suspensions wouldn’t be cancel, if even the CAS would not support it. The BOA believes that it has the best laws.
Moynihan supported statements written by the former British Olympic decathlete Daley Thompson that noticed that British laws connected with doping were superior. He confirmed that they shouldn’t be overthrown by the rest part of the world.
Delay Thompson notices that cheaters have to be punished harshly. They should be banned for the whole life. According to his opinion, the BOA shouldn’t agree with the law of the WADA to sentence cheaters just for 2-year suspensions. He believes that the Britain wants to have the highest sport standards. He states that if the rest part of the world doesn’t desire to have high standards, it doesn’t mean that Britain has to follow their reduced levels.
David Howman, the director general of the WADA, criticizes affirmations pronounced by Daley, noticing that steroid testing has been only on its early level of development, when he has won his gold medals in Olympics in Moscow and Los Angeles.
Travis Tygart, the CEO of the US Anti-Doping Agency, criticizes the BOA for its refusal to submit to the rules of the WADA. It seems to be strange that Travis Tygart that always criticizes cheaters criticizes the BOA for the strict law.
Travis Tygart claims that since international laws have been once established and all have agreed to them, everyone should follow them.
The British athletes Dwain Chambers and David Millar that have been earlier banned for violation of anti-doping rules wait for the conclusions connected with this issue. They desire to know whether they will be allowed to compete at the 2012 London Olympics.
