Dietary supplements companies often label anabolic steroids as nutrition supplements. Thus, they sell these illegal drugs. They trick the Drug Enforcement Administration and clients that obtain such products. As a result, several sportspersons test positive for banned substances while they claim that they have never taken any steroid or another banned preparation. Dietary supplements companies must be punished for such conditions.
For example, Myogenix is a dietary supplement company that is in California. This company acknowledged that they sold a synthetic steroid which was marketed as a nutrition supplement. It was called Spawn. Its ingredient were following: 19-Norandrosta-4,9 diene-3,17 dione and 2a,3a-epithio-17a-methyletioallocholanol. So, the supplement Spawn contained 2 steroids but it was marketed as a dietary supplement.
Myogenix admitted that they had sold Spawn since 2007 till 2009. Myogenix was sentenced to pay a $500.000 fine. Moreover, Myogenix forfeited $100.000 immediately.
According to the decision of the court, preparations manufactured and sold by the company Myogenix will be tested for 5 years by an independent organization. All new nutrition supplements should be controlled carefully and approved by the FDA before the company will be allowed to sell them.
In fact, the company Myogenix should be thankful to the defense attorney Rick Collins who has defended the company. He defended the owners and other stuff of the company efficaciously. Nobody went to jail. This lawyer was hired to defend also other companies that were related to the website Bodybuilding.com. These companies also were sentenced only to fines and money seizures.
