Tom Verducci claims that doping is an issue connected just with performance

Tom Verducci of Sports Illustrated explains about debates related to possibility of steroid users to be chosen for the Baseball Hall of Fame. But as it generally happens, this explanation shows only confusion of journalists about steroids.
The Baseball Writers Association of America (BWAA) is a professional association of baseball reporters that chose players for the National Baseball Hall of Fame. All sportswriters that are members of the BWAA already not less than 10 years have opportunity to vote for up to 10 players for the Hall of Fame.
Recently a debate took place between members of the BWAA. They discussed whether admitted or just suspected consumers of steroids and other prohibited preparations might entry into Cooperstown.
Members of the BWAA usually should comment their votes: they have to explain why they have voted pro or contra certain affirmations. Some of them confirm that doping destructs the integrity of sports and usage of prohibited medications is frequently considered by them to be immoral.
As for Tom Verducci, he doesn’t believe that usage of steroids is necessarily a moral question. This writer notes that steroids help users to take unfair advantage over those who don’t dope. According to this American sportswriter, performance-enhancing drugs make competitions unfair. Thus, usage of forbidden medicines promotes unfairness in sports. That’s why Verducci denies any connection between doping and morality. He claims that it is a question that is related to performance but not to morality. So, this sportswriter suggests that consumers of steroids must not be allowed to be in the Hall of Fame. But he has voted for Jeff Bagwell, an admitted steroid user. This athlete has admitted that he had administrated androstenedione. It is necessary to note that this product was not listed among anabolic steroids, when Bagwell used it. According to the Control Act 2004, it is enumerated among prohibited drugs. Since it wasn’t legally considered to be a steroid, Verducci decided to vote for the user of this drug; however, it was always considered to be an anabolic-androgenic steroid by scientists. Furthermore, it was said that Bagwell just became bigger but didn’t promote his performance due to administration of androstenedione.
Nonetheless, the decision of Verducci to vote for the admitted user of the steroid is quite controversial. The following question appears: “Maybe Verducci is not against usage of steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs by sportspersons?” Since this sportswriter doesn’t agree that doping is a moral question, he may suppose that enhancement of performance is not a real problem.
Many people suggest that administration of steroids represents evil because they are illegal.

A bodybuilder killed her girlfriend because another man’s car was in the yard of her home

Johnnie Lee Wiggins is a NPC heavyweight bodybuilder. He was enough successful. Johnnie Lee Wiggins took the 3rd place at the 2011 NPC Emerald Cup and won the 2011 NPC Empire Classic.
Johnnie Lee Wiggins was a boyfriend of Prudence Hockley. She taught English at Woodinville High School in Washington. This woman met Lee Wiggins in a gym. He was a personal coach at that moment.
Once he saw another man’s vehicle in the yard of her home. It was on Christmas day. Lee Wiggins was a jealous individual. Johnnie Lee Wiggins beat the lady too brutally. Then he left Prudence Hockley unconscious and bleeding on the ground in the yard. The lady was taken in a medical centre where she died that day. The child of this lady was at home and called police and hospital.
It was not the first time, when Johnnie Lee Wiggins was aggressive with a woman. Certain ladies noticed that he was very jealous person. They also said that he became aggressive numerous times.
Earlier Lee Wiggins served over 5 years in jail for assault, robbery and theft. It was in Georgia. This person was released in 2008. During May 2011 he was under supervision of the Washington Department of Corrections.
It is necessary to notice that this bodybuilder was released on probation. During this time a police officer caught him possessing anabolic steroids; he attacked the officer. The Washington Department of Corrections sent him to Georgia but this bodybuilder didn’t inform the Georgia Department of corrections that he had returned.
It was said that Lee Wiggins had had “roid rage”. Actually, this term is widely applied by media that confirms that it is an undesirable reaction of anabolic steroids. But it is necessary to mention that the affirmation about uncontrolled aggression which is believed to be caused by administration of anabolic steroids is not proven scientifically. Only a significantly small number of steroid users experience this reaction. Administration of steroids doesn’t lead to violence against women. Millions cases of domestic violence occur each year but they have nothing to do with anabolic steroids.
There are other aspects which contribute in domestic violence. Anabolic steroids should not be blamed for uncontrolled behavior and assaults. Media should find other conditions to demonize for tragedies.

Some anti-doping agencies criticize the UFC steroid program

The president of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Dana White put efforts to defend the drug-testing policy of this organization. According to the UFC, their strictest drug-testing program is in North America. Is it really true? Sometimes it seems that only fool athletes are caught administrating prohibited medications by the UFC.
There are some agencies that criticize the drug-testing policy of the UFC harshly. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) and the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) are included in chief organizations that criticize anti-doping policy of the UFC. But which is the reason? Undoubtedly, they fight for own interests. They put efforts to manage testing for forbidden medications in all professional as well as amateur sport leagues in the whole world. It isn’t a secret that steroid testing is a business that is profitable. Since they haven’t tested fighters for prohibited preparations, they have lost a lot of money.
But there are also certain actual problems connected with the UFC steroid program that should be observed. The CEO of the WADA Travis Tygart claims that steroid testing of the UFC isn’t appropriate. It goes without saying that the WADA has the most appropriate anti-doping program. The UFC drug-testing policy can’t be even compared with that of the UFC. Travis Tygart confirms that the UFC tries to look better than they are in reality. Travis Tygart proclaims that it is quite ironically that the UFC defends own steroid testing program and doesn’t agree to have the same or just similar principles as the WADA has.
Major League Baseball did an immense mistake, proclaiming that steroids represent an essential problem in this sport. So, it was hurt positive public impression about baseball. As for the National Football League, it was created impression that their drug-testing program has been very effective.
A question appears: Does Dana White have ability to display that there is no steroid problem in the UFC?

Neco Padaratz is the only surfer that has ever been caught using steroids by the Association of Surfing Professionals

Anabolic steroids are utilized by surfers too. Sport governing body confirms that forbidden medicines are a significant problem in this sport. That’s why the Association of Surfing Professionals decided to implicate testing for anabolic steroids and other prohibited products which are applied for enhancement of performance.
The Association of Surfing Professionals had certain discussions with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). They asked how they could introduce testing for forbidden products into surfing. Since anti-doping program of the WADA is considered to be the best policy, the surfing organization intends to apply this protocol. Of course, this is the next victory of the WADA which promotes the possibility to control anti-doping programs in sports.
Everybody knows that surfing is a competitive sport. So, strength, speed and endurance are chief skills which promote winning. So, surfers could decide that usage of anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs promotes success greatly. It is also necessary to take in consideration that amount of money that is received by winners is large. Winners obtain no less than 100, 000 dollars. Desire to receive money could lead surfers to decision to administrate anabolic steroids.
Nevertheless, it is said that intake of anabolic steroids and other products that have performance-enhancing effects is not widespread in surfing. Numerous people think that application of recreational drugs is more widespread among surfers than usage of steroids. Sport of 1970s and 1980s was oftan associated with marijuana and lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). Current facts justify this impression. The number of surfers who are caught taking marijuana, methamphetamine and cocaine is quite high.
The professional surfer Andi Irons died in November 2010. A heart attack that he had was caused by drug abuse. It was defined that steroids hadn’t been implicated in this fatal case. Traces of methamphetamine, cocaine and methadone metabolites were found in his system.
Another surfer, Peter Davi, died in December 2007. High levels of meth were also found in his system.
As for the professional surfer Anthony Ruffo, he was caught distributing meth.
Only Neco Padaratz, a professional surfer from Brazil, was caught taking steroids. He was banned for one year. This person tested positive for forbidden drugs in 2004. This person confirmed that he had used these drugs to get a full recovery from back injuries. In spite of his defense, he was sentenced to a ban. He was the first individual who was caught administrating steroids by the Association of Surfing Professionals. According to certain reports, he remains to be the only surfer who has ever been caught by the ASP.
The ASP has already the initial budget to introduce the WADA steroid program into surfing.
However it is unlikely that steroids represent a problem in surfing, the new anti-doping program may create a wrong public impression.

Officers of law enforcement used a distributor of steroids as an undercover informant

The former officer of Paw Paw Department Robert Kusmack was caught possessing Fluoxymesterone (Halotestin) due to a Michigan steroid investigation. The targets of the investigation were personnel of law enforcement and an owner of a gym. As a result, Robert Kusmack received probation of 1 year and was sentenced to pay certain fine. So, Robert Kusmack was dismissed in 2010.
Investigations connected with steroids are conducted commonly in the following way: consumers of steroids are used to distributors of steroids. But sometimes authorities choose another method to lead investigations.
United States Mail Inspection Service had found a package which contained 50 vials of HGH and was addressed to Tom Radke, a distributor of steroids. The West Michigan Enforcement Team (WMET) and the Kalamazoo Valley Enforcement Team (KVET) began to lead the investigation that resulted in detection of the steroid dealer.
But the authorities made a decision not to prosecute the steroid dealer but to use him as an informant. It was made a decision to catch police officials that apply steroids due to the steroid dealer. An owner of a local gym was involved in this process too.
Tom Radke acted as an undercover informant in this situation. He sold Fluoxymesterone to Aaron DiPrima who was the owner of a local gym. The gym owner supplied the police official Robert Kusmack with this product. Both the owner of the gym and Kusmack were arrested.
The gym owner Aaron DiPrima pleaded guilty in possession of an analogue. He was sentenced to one-year probation. He was also sentenced to 60 hours of community service. So, the distributor of steroids wasn’t sentenced to prison. Three consumers of steroids lost their jobs.

What caused Hegstrand’s death?

The professional wrestling tag team the Road Warriors were first who introduced bodybuilding-type muscularity in this sport. Hawk (Mike Hegstrand) and Animal (Joe Laurinaitis) have been comprised this tag team. Hegstrand died in 2003. The death of this person was sudden because of a heart attack. This professional wrestler died at the age of 46. It is known that popular media usually writes about deaths of professional wrestlers, connecting the cases with administration of anabolic steroids. The death of Hegstrand was not an exception. After the death of this person a lot of articles appeared in newspapers which demonized anabolic steroids for this case.
Joe “Animal” Laurinaitis admitted to administration of steroids by this wrestling team. But he pointed out that these products hadn’t caused Hegstrand’s death. He added that other aspects were responsible for Hegstrand’s death as well as deaths of other wrestlers. Joe Laurinaitis pointed out that such drugs, as cocaine and Xanax had to be demonized for such cases. Laurinaitis announced that he wanted to explain that steroids had not been linked with death of Hegstrand.
Joe Laurinaitis confirmed that cocaine and Xanax had contributed in the death of this wrestler. He also noticed that these drugs led to deaths of such celebritites, as Henning, Rick Rude and Davey Boy Smith. According to Laurinaitis, administration of cocaine frequently leads to administration of morphine. These drugs destroy health wholly and cause heart attacks.
Why must explanation of Laurinaitis be true? He was in Australia with Hegstrand. He knows about what he speaks. Recently this wrestler joined to Andrew William Wright to tell his experiences with “Hawk”.

Andrew Tilin admitted in his book that he had used testosterone

The amateur cyclist and writer Andrew Tilin was banned for 2 years. United States Anti-Doping Agency banned this person after he had admitted taking steroids for legal hormone replacement therapy. The admitting was made by the the amateur cyclist in own book that will be soon probably released. The book is entitled following: “The Doper Next Door: My Strange and Scandalous Year on Performance-Enhancing Drugs” .
this book presents personal experiences of some people who took medicines that have performance-enhancing effects.
So, Andrew Tilin took the steroid testosterone for hormone replacement therapy. It is quite clear. Actually, it is not yet clear whether this cyclist has noted about individual experience linked with other products that enhance performance.
Andrew Tilin wants to understand and describe in his book why persons dope. He mentions the motivations of different individuals. Do these medicines help really? These medications are quite controversial; the explanations related to these products are controversial as well. Since a lot of consumers don’t like saying about their intake, certain answers on questions about doping remain undisclosed.
Andrew Tilin has been significantly changed due to usage of the steroid testosterone. He has become much stronger but more aggressive. He had to worry about his health and about the ways to lie, being an amateur rider. So, Tilin became to be involved in the doping subculture.
Writing his book, this amateur cyclist desired to explain that steroids are unsafe and cause many adverse consequences. Many athletes who have used prohibited substances criticize the writer. One of critics is Joe Papp, a former American cyclist. This athlete was caught distributing and administrating certain performance-enhancing drugs. He didn’t admit administrating forbidden products willingly; he was caught due to an investigation. His professional and personal life was destroyed because of these prohibited products. Joe Papp wrote about Tilin that he had been doped for a year intentionally. Papp noticed that Andrew Tilin had known that the steroid testosterone was banned but he had taken it. Then he wrote that these preparations had undesirable symptoms in users. According to Joe Papp, Andrew Tilin had to be banned for four years.
The ban of Andrew Tilin started in March 2011.

What should steroid dealers do in order to prevent being caught by police officers?

Selling anabolic steroids without doctors’ prescription to increase performance is illegal in United States of America. If anybody wants to sell these products and is implicated in operations connected with the steroid black market, this individual takes risks having serious troubles. But there are also ways to prevent or lower risks being caught by law enforcements.
Distributors of steroids have to follow all traffic rules. This condition is very important. If an individual violates any traffic rule, driving his car, police officers’ attention will be drawn on this action. Imagine what happens: when anybody violates speed limit rules, he/she will be stopped by police officials. Moreover, if this individual also smokes pot with his friend, driving the car and violating traffic rules, drug-sniffing dogs will be probably brought to define whether there are any drugs in the vehicle.
Furthermore, reasonable steroid dealers keep the all medicines, the price list and the customer list in a safe place. But if some steroid dealers keep all these things in the vehicle in which they were smoking pot, violating speed limit rules, they will be caught possessing steroids illegally with intentions to distribute them. Then the troubles begin.
Steroid dealers can say that it is not needed to write such warnings because it goes without any saying that all distributors of illegal medicines comprehend these cautions. But real facts show that some steroid dealers are not careful and that’s why they are caught.
Here is a case. Deputies of Yavapai County Sheriff Office stopped a car driven by Johnson because this individual violated certain traffic rules. The deputies suggested that there might be contraband in this car. The suggestions were justified. Marijuana, several 10-ml vials of the steroid testosterone and syringes were found in this vehicle. Several documents founded in the vehicle displayed that the amounts of steroids were at the price of more than 3,000 dollars.

Human performance is tightly connected with technical advance

Sportspersons are always looking for any methods to enhance their performance. Nobody can doubt about it. That’s why many athletes use anabolic steroids or/and other products that have performance-enhancing effects. But there is another way too. Mixed martial artists use even plastic surgery for this need.
Everyone knows that mixed martial artists have facial lacerations. This is the nature of this sport. After mixed martial artists have experienced a cut, they become more inclined to future cuts. The scar tissue can develop; wounds are sutured in some cases improperly. It may happen that physicians suture just the superficial layer of the skin. This aspect leads to improper healing of underlying tissue.
An interesting article about Frank Stile, a plastic surgeon was published by the writer Jake Rossen. This specialist performs surgeries for mix martial artists. The surgeon Frank Stile removes the scar tissue and replaces it with tissue from donated dead human bodies. Such procedures are often applied for cosmetic purposes. Frank Stile is the first surgeon who has used this procedure for performance-enhancing effects in fighters.
It is also necessary to know that prominent facial bones in the nose, brow and cheek may make the fighters predisposed to cuts. But it can be prevented as well. Surgeons can remove the sharp edges. It may help to avoid potential lacerations.
Since inclinations to cuts disturb fighters to reach better results, some experts confirm that it is possible to create a super-fighter due to plastic operation. Thus, these fighters will have essential competitive advantages.
Earlier experts thought about this aspect as well. It can show the work written by the science fiction author Richard Matheson. The work was created in 1956. Richard Matheson described a future. It was written that fans watched how large robot athletes fought, trying to destruct one another’s CPUs.
When Matheson was writing the story, he didn’t think that it would be provocative. Many persons wanted to see other sportspeople in reality. They wanted the fighter to be other than human. That’s why numerous people invested large sums of money, hoping to achieve the goal.
It is possible to suppose that cosmetic surgery will soon achieve the level of the method of steroid use and intake of other performance-enhancing products.
Undoubtedly, numerous ethical questions appear in this case. But certain specialists say that it is too late to discuss these questions. Human performance is already tightly linked with technological advance. The corruption of sports has started long ago and it can’t be stopped, according to opinions of numerous experts.
Anti-doping agencies have shown that they are not able to fight against steroids and other banned products successfully. Will anybody be able to keep fighters from surgeries?

The politician Lew Frederick is captivated by the hysteria related to “roid rage” of steroids

Many individuals suppose that “roid rage” or uncontrolled aggressive behavior is a common unexpected reaction that occurs in consumers of steroids. Moreover, some persons confirm that it is even impossible to avoid this unexpected symptom, if you administrate steroids. Nonetheless, it is not proven scientifically that it is a real adverse reaction of anabolic steroids. But even if we suggest that it exists, it can occur only in small number of steroid users.
Since numerous individuals think that “roid rage” is an unwanted consequence of anabolic steroids, numerous ill-informed legislative suggestions were made. Some such proposals have been made in Oregon. It has been proposed to introduce some new laws. According to these new laws, if any police officers have used deadly force, or if police force resulted in some injuries, they should be tested for steroids.
The same proposal was made by the politician Lew Frederick in Oregon House of Representatives. Those police officials that have applied deadly force will be investigated, tested for certain drugs and their mental health will be also evaluated.
Actually, it is not clear why police officials who use deadly force will be tested for steroids. Can intake of steroids prove that application of deadly force was unjustified? Is it claimed that steroids because of aggressiveness may make police officers unable to make fair decisions?
Investigation team is a reasonable idea for police officers who use deadly force. But usage of steroids is not to be taken in consideration here. Positives or negatives for steroids can’t determine whether deadly force has been used properly or not. It doesn’t matter a police officer has applied steroids, aspirin or only drunk juice.
Thus, it is possible to make a conclusion that legislators turn to be captivated by hysteria connected with “roid rage” of anabolic steroids. It goes without saying that illegal intake of steroids by police officers should be a legitimate concern. But it is not spoken about uncontrolled aggressive behavior as a chief reason in this situation. The problem is that illegal intake of controlled substances by police officers makes them vulnerable to corruption and the steroid black market. Such police officers are inclined to compromise.

Jeremy Jackson that played role of Hobie Buchanon in Baywatch is addicted to steroids

The actor Jeremy Jackson played Hobie Buchanon, the son of David Hasselhof, in the television series Baywatch. This person turned to anabolic steroids and HGH to overcome addiction to methamphetamine.
The actor Jeremy Jackson did it because he was told to go into fitness to escape from meth addiction but now he fears for his life. He became addicted to the gym and HGH and the steroid testosterone. This actor can’t stop administrating these products.
This actor joined the cast of Celebrity Rehab with the doctor Drew Pinsky for Season 5. But unemployed actors must be defined having drug addiction to join Celebrity Rehab. What does Celebrity Rehab represent actually? It is the first TV series about real experiences of famous persons who want to change their lives, to escape from addiction to alcohol and drugs. Thus, they join Celebrity Rehab to receive treatment. All these individuals have a real desire to reach the recovery.
The main specialist is Drew Pinsky there. He is known better as Dr. Drew. He is a radio and television personality. This specialist hosted the talk show LOVELINE.
It is known that Jeremy Jackson doesn’t take methamphetamine since 2000. He is clean from this addiction. Then, he has joined Celebrity Rehab to escape from his steroid addiction.
Earlier Dr. Drew claimed in an interview that he knew a lot about steroids. This person said that when he was 20 years old, he was in the world of bodybuilders. Those who administrated steroids told him about many aspects because he was involved in medicine. They told him such aspects that were not spoken to others. The doctor Drew Pinsky noted that several persons start using steroids just because anybody gave them a tablet. They attempted to administrate it and became addicted to steroids step by step. Now they are dying from the addiction. They have depression, aggressiveness, mania and physical disorders. They have cut length of their lives by 10-20 years. They have chosen it themselves.
Nonetheless, it is necessary to mention that although it is widely discussed about steroid addiction and dependency, this condition doesn’t have any scientific basis. The American Psychological Association has not yet proved it. One offers to change the methods. Thus, further researches are required in this field.

Agreement between the golfer Dough Baron and a company related to manufacture of steroids

The company State Pharmaceuticals manufactures subcutaneous pellet delivery system for the anabolic steroid testosterone. This company said that it was a sponsor of the professional golfer Dough Baron. It turns out to be that this athlete is the only professional golfer who has been banned by the PGA Tour because he has broken anti-doping laws. Robert Whitehead, the chief executive of State Pharmaceuticals said that it was not fairly to ban Dough Baron. He defended this as well as other professional athletes that apply the steroid testosterone, when it is prescribed by physicians in order to increase low levels of this hormone in them.
While Dough Barron filed a lawsuit against the PGA Tour, the CEO of State Pharmaceuticals supported him in this lawsuit. The CEO of State Pharmaceuticals noted that the PGA Tour didn’t have any justice to call this professional golfer a “cheater”. Although the status of the lawsuit hadn’t been made public, the PGA Tour made a decision to approve the therapeutic usage of testosterone by this professional golfer. Thus, the golfer Dough Baron obtained a TUE for intake of the steroid testosterone for medical purposes.
Robert Whitehead mentioned why State Pharmaceuticals sponsored the professional golfer Dough Baron. He argued that the PGA Tour acted incorrectly in numerous cases. The sportsperson Dough Baron that needed clinical administration of the anabolic steroid testosterone was called a cheater. So, the PGA Tour contributed in medical ignorance and kept men from improving their health. Robert Whitehead, the CEO of State Pharmaceuticals, added that numerous opinions connected with testosterone replacement therapy didn’t have any scientific basis. These incorrect affirmations have kept numerous people from the medical care.
The CEO of State Pharmaceuticals mentioned that Dough Barron made the only mistake that he had become the innocent victim of other persons’ ignorance.
The terms of the agreement between State Pharmaceuticals and the professional athlete Dough Barron were not made public. It was just noticed that the golfer Dough Baron would educate public about hypogonadism and testosterone replacement therapy.

The director general of the WADA has to comprehend that not controlled substances are anabolic steroids

David Howman, the director general of the WADA, thinks that Clenbuterol belongs to anabolic steroids. This man points out that illegal heroin is not as profitable as anabolic steroids which are legal, if they are got and administrated according to doctors’ prescriptions. He is also shocked by the affirmation that steroids are used in order to increase growth of livestock.
The director general of the WADA says that use of steroids for growth of livestock is quite evident due to contaminated beef in China. This person notes that the WADA has written to the Chinese minister that has to answer what actually happens in the food industry of this country.
David Howman speaks about Clenbuterol as about an anabolic steroid. He notices that Chinese beef contains steroids. This man thinks mistakenly like numerous other persons believe that all products that have performance-enhancing effects are anabolic steroids. It shows ignorance of these individuals. They should understand that not only anabolic steroids belong to the list of banned preparations. There are drugs which cause performance-enhancing effects but they are not steroids.
Since Howman is the director general of the World ADA, he should show significantly better knowledge connected with banned products. Howman should understand the difference between such drugs as Clenbuterol and anabolic steroids.
Howman points out that steroid trafficking is much more profitable than heroin smuggling because steroids are legal in some cases but heroin is illegal under any circumstances. Moreover, anabolic steroids are legal in certain countries.
David Howman says that controlled products are dangerous for youth, elite athletes and any individual that buys and takes them not for legal purposes.

However the drug tax law exists in Louisiana for about 20 years, its constitutionality is still discussed

A drug tax has to be paid in Louisiana for distribution of steroids. This tax exists in this state for the past 20 years. Thus, Todd Matherne, a steroid dealer was enforced to pay 52 million dollars because he sold many steroids with the labels of the “Zencall Labs”. This person was sentenced to 7 years in prison but he served 3 years of them.
In fact, Todd Matherne didn’t know the Louisiana’s drug stamp law. But when he was released from the jail, he studied this law. As a result, this person filed a lawsuit against the State of Louisiana, noticing that it was too cruel to enforce him to pay 52 million of dollars. Todd Matherne pointed out that it had been an unusual and even too cruel punishment. This man pointed out that his rights were violated.
The Louisiana Department of Revenue didn’t fight against this distributor of steroids in the court. It was decided to regulate this question. Thus, the tax was reduced essentially. According to the new settlement, Todd Matherne had to pay only 2, 000 dollars instead of 52 million dollars. Nonetheless, the drug tax law has remained in Louisiana but its constitutionality is still discussed.
John Williams, an expert in drug prosecution for the Louisiana District Attorney Association, noted that certain laws in different other states were ruled unconstitutionally. He confirmed that it was the same with the drug tax law in Louisiana. But since certain laws try to criminal twice the same crime, they can be lifted.
This specialist noticed that this law couldn’t work well because it might give the possibility to defendants to escape from criminal prosecution. Williams claimed that this law was not being used because a criminal case could be lost in exchange just for taxes.
There is also another reason which may explain why law enforcements don’t desire to impose the drug tax law in Louisiana. Law enforcements do not support this law because the taxes don’t go to law enforcement; they go to state agencies.
According to drug tax law in Louisiana, the tax of 200 dollars is indicated per 1 g of anabolic steroids, if they are distributed by weight. If these products are sold by dose units, it is indicated to pay 400 dollars for 10 dose units.
As for Todd Matherne, he was a steroid dealer of the huge underground lab called “Zencall Labs”. The Louisiana State Police busted this lab in 2005. More than 10, 000 tablets and 300 capsules of Stanozolol, more than 6, 000 tablets of Anadrol, 3,500 tablets and 1, 900 capsules of Cialis, 1, 5000 capsules of Tamoxifen, 2, 400 capsules of Clomid, 800 capsules of Anabol and 600 capsules of Dianabol were seized by the police officers. Furthermore, over 700 vials of injectable anabolic steroids and certain pounds of raw steroid powder were also found there.

The anti-steroid campaign “Don’t Be An Asterisk” will spread its messages through the popular social media

“Don’t Be An Asterisk” anti-steroid campaign was formed to educate people about application of steroids, about risks connected with performance-enhancing substances within and outsides sports in order to promote discontinuing using these products.
But ”Don’t Be An Asterisk” was in negligence during certain period of time. The United States Olympic Committee (USOC) and Ad Council decided to restart activities of this campaign. It was made a decision to create a new gateway page for the website and to modify the name from the “Don’t Be an Asterisk” to the “Play Asterisk Free”.
The new website for “Play Asterisk Free” has links and leads to the original “Don’t Be Asterisk” that has been uncharged for over 2 years. This site promotes the visitors to enter another new page that is on Facebook. So, they can play asterisk free there. The same page will be created on Twitter with the same name “Play Asterisk Free”. Thus, the popular social media will promote spreading the messages of the anti-steroid.
The original site DontBeAnAsterisk.com has an interactive soccer game. Players have to score goals avoiding the asterisks. The asterisks represent anabolic steroids. If the interactive soccer players don’t avoid the asterisks, they become much more muscular.
Although the game has been established to educate kids that steroids are not safe, the results are turned to be opposite. Kids find it funny to fail avoiding asterisks and to see how muscles of the interactive players become essentially increased. However the game is still available on the website, it is unlikely that it will be able to convince kids that steroids should not be used.
The principal purpose of this campaign is to teach children that a user of steroids isn’t a fair person; he\she is “fake”, a “joke” and a “poser”.

Nobody can be sure whether the third book of Jose Canseco will be successful

Jose Canseco who has called himself as a “godfather of steroids” in baseball writes his next book. This person avoids discussing anabolic steroids and other drugs that have performance-enhancing effects. The writer desires to revolve about his own experience. The book with the title “The truth hurts” will describe how the author’s revelations about usage of steroids in baseball corrupted his life. He is going to note that he has been affected both professionally and financially because of the truth.
Jose Canseco’s first book is entitled as “Juiced: Wild Times, Rampant Roids, Smash Hits and How Baseball Got Big”. It is the bestseller. The author named some baseball players that used steroids. Such players, as Mark McGwire, Rafael Palmeiro and Jason Giambi were mentioned in the book. Thus, this writer made public steroid users in baseball. Furthermore, as a result, certain of these accused sportspersons admitted that they took banned products. Later, as a celebration of the winning, Jose published another book that had been entitled as “Vindicated”. Jose Canseco noticed also names of other baseball players who applied steroids. Alex Rodriguez and Roger Clemens were named by the author.
Some individuals believe that the Jose Canseco’s third book will fail. It will not achieve the same success as previous books, according to them. These persons add that the author will be probably surprised but connections between truth about steroids and his professional life will not attract readers.
But it is unclear whether the opinions of these people who consider that the third book of Canseco will fail will be justified. The author has been entertaining numerous persons, when he fought against Danny Bonaduce in a celebrity boxing match in 2009. Earlier he was humbled, when he fought against the football player Vai Sikahema in a boxing match. Jose Canseco was knocked by Vai Sikahema and was mocked by numerous people.
It is known that Jose Canseco used anabolic steroids and his natural testosterone creation became reduced. Thus, he experienced such unexpected effects of steroids, as low sex drive and depression.
This person also attempted to contraband HCG across the Mexican border. This person did it for self-administration to be cured from reduced testosterone level. Thus, he had legal troubles related to steroids.
Recently Jose Canseco entertained numerous individuals, when he wrote on his Twitter account that he would hit easily a softball further than Rodriguez may hit a baseball. He challenged Alex Rodriguez to compete with him.
The time will come and we will see whether the book of this writer “The truth hits” will succeed.
