Parker You are A wealth of information. Do you know what the tri-state Lottery # was? lol
 
Beyond the 27 pill presses, three boats and 25 cars seized in raids of underground labs, investigators also obtained distribution lists and have begun compiling a database of “thousands” of end users.

“I'm not going to go into detail,” said Coughlin, the assistant U.S. attorney, “but that was certainly part of the DEA's strategy, to at some point identify the end users and begin to look at that as people who needed to be addressed and contacted.

“I think absolutely they should be worried . . . They will probably be contacted at some point in time by the DEA. I'm not indicating that there necessarily will be prosecutions, but they are in violation of the law.”

Or put it this way: If you're a college or professional athlete and you used steroids or human growth hormone or some other banned substance in the past few years, and unless you are 100 percent certain you can't be linked to its origin, you suddenly have that queasy feeling in your stomach that is equal parts fear and paranoia.

Fear, because you know you did something wrong and you might now get caught.

Paranoia, because you don't know when.

“It's probably a day of reckoning for a lot of athletes,” USADA's Tygart said. “There are probably a lot of nervous people in locker rooms.”
 
Heres a detailed account of one bust.

Two Columbia residents arrested in international steroid sting

Two Columbia residents were indicted Monday on federal drug trafficking charges

Two Columbia residents were indicted Monday on federal drug trafficking charges in connection with the largest black market steroid investigation in U.S. history, the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Western District of Missouri said. Two other Missourians were also charged last week as part of the operation.

The 21-month-long international probe targeted the illegal manufacturing and trafficking of anabolic steroids and its raw materials, mainly from China. More than 120 people in 27 states were arrested as part of the sting, known as Operation Raw Deal.

“This case underscores the scope of the problem of dangerous performance-enhancing drugs that are being processed in crude, homemade labs and distributed with no regulatory safeguards,” said John Wood, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, in a news release Monday.

Bryan Greggory Wilson, 38, who maintained homes in Columbia and Kansas City, and April Dawn Wilson, 32, of Columbia, were charged with conspiracy to distribute anabolic steroids and one count of distributing anabolic steroids as part of the Missouri-focused sting, dubbed Operation Juice Box.

According to the indictment, Bryan Wilson sent wire transfers to distributors in Qingdao, a coastal province in eastern China, in exchange for raw steroid powder. He then converted the powder to pill and liquid form at his Columbia home, federal authorities say, and sold the substances to online buyers under the names Pro Pharm, Pro Pharm Labs and Palmco, Inc. He and April Wilson received and distributed steroids at the Commerce Station Post Office, 3709 Sandman Lane, said Don Ledford, a spokesman for Wood’s office.

Court documents show that Drug Enforcement Agency agents identified Bryan Wilson in February as the possible operator of an underground anabolic steroid lab. In March, a potential buyer working with authorities logged onto the steroid Web site ChemicallyEvolved.com and found that a company called Pro Pharm Lab was offering anabolic steroids for sale.

In May, DEA special agent Kyle D. Scheer directed the buyer to contact the company via e-mail, inquiring about an order. An e-mail was received instructing the buyer to send $155 in cash inside a birthday card with the following message: “Happy Birthday girl! Here is the rent for the last months I was there. Sorry for send cash, my checks have not arrived yet.”

Video surveillance of Bryan Wilson’s home confirmed that he left with boxes that had U.S. Postal insignia, according to court documents. Federal agents seized the boxes in August and found a plastic resealable bag, wrapped in tape, containing six glass vials of testosterone cypionate and testosterone enanthate, two types of anabolic steroids. The vials had the name “Pro Pharm Laboratories” written on them and a label saying the steroids were an injectable liquid with a prescribed dosage of 200 to 400 milligrams every four weeks.

Post office records show that Bryan Wilson mailed 22 packages from late April through May 23. April Wilson mailed 25 packages in April and then mailed 24 packages in May.

The indictment also states that the Wilsons received one kilogram of steroid powder, shipped from an address in China, at a UPS Store, 503 E. Nifong Blvd. Bryan Wilson was arrested Sept. 15 at the store; April Wilson was arrested at her Columbia home Monday. After Bryan Wilson’s arrest, authorities seized two 200-pound pill presses, $60,000 and other laboratory equipment from his home in Kansas City.

The Wilsons were married but divorced in June 2006, according to court records.

The couple had owned and operated The Smoothie Stop, a fruit drink stand located inside the Maximum Edge Discount Sport Supplement Store, 2703 E. Broadway. The business opened in March 2005 but both federal authorities and Columbia police said the store was not tied to the steroid investigation.

Another central Missouri man — Jason Ray Varner, 33, of Jefferson City — was indicted last week on possession with intent to distribute anabolic steroids. According to the indictment, a steroid distributor cooperating with federal authorities met Varner at a commuter parking lot, near the intersection of Route AC and Highway 63, to deliver a shipment of steroids. Varner had ordered about $10,000 worth of the drug and had already received half before the meeting, the indictment states.

The distributor told authorities that he was scheduled to deliver about $5,000 worth of steroids to Varner. On Sept. 14, the distributor, identified in court documents only as “CS” for “cooperating source,” received a text message from Varner asking, “how are we looking?” Varner later indicated that he needed about 188 vials of steroids, according to court documents.

The distributor had previously mailed steroid shipments to customers in Illinois and Kentucky. Authorities intercepted those packages and used the vials for the Varner meeting.

Both Varner and the distributor left their vehicles and “CS” placed the vials on the floorboard of Varner’s car. After he was detained, Varner told authorities that he had been purchasing steroids from the source for about a year. During a later search of Varner’s home, authorities found 44 vials of anabolic steroids.

Columbia police were asked by the DEA to help investigate the Wilsons and Varner in April in connection with the steroid probe, said Sgt. Scott Young, supervisor of the Columbia Police Department’s Narcotics Unit.

“We’ve helped out with federal investigations but never anything on this scale,” Young said.

He said a narcotics detective performed surveillance of the Wilsons for federal authorities.

“(Bryan Wilson) would actually fill orders on the Internet, which were precursors to the final pill production here in the U.S.,” Young said.

Young declined to say how much the Wilsons or Varner might have profited from the steroid operation but said the suspects “made more money in a month than most people make in a year.”

Young described Varner, who works for a construction business, as a “lower-level distributor.”

The third indictment charges Mikal Gunn Schrage, 28, of Nixa, with possession with the intent to distribute anabolic steroids.

According to court documents, Schrage was arrested on an outstanding warrant Sept. 1 by a Missouri State Highway Patrol trooper during a traffic stop in Greene County. The trooper discovered five pounds of anabolic steroids in powder form and at least 10,000 milliliters of liquid anabolic steroids. The trooper also found counterfeit Spanish-language labels, boxes and holograms purportedly for Powerline brand steroids.

As part of Operation Raw Deal, federal authorities seized 56 steroid labs across the country, as well as 11.4 million steroid dosage units and 242 kilograms of raw steroid powder of Chinese origin. About 50 people were arrested and 61 search warrants were executed during the operation’s final stages, which began Sept. 14.

Cigarettes kill about a 1000 a day VS steroids ... well. You should ask the wrestle organizations. More then we'd like to admit, but a lot less compared to the legal drugs (cigarettes, alcohol, junkfood).

It's really hard to swallow when you consider the magnitude of the whole thing.

I predict the research companies will be the next to go. They can't touch them right now because of the whole 'research purposes only' mantra. They'll be closing that loop hole shortly. Liquid clen, liquid cialis. God forbid!

What makes it even worse is when you realise that they will put us in jail for this shit, but the 600 lb guy outlaws mentioned gets cut a check every month by uncle sam so that he can buy more food.
 
I think that the United States is showing the world what idiots we are here. There are so many more important issues that are going on and these administrations focus on things people do to themselves? When the teen Miss America was caught using cocaine with her senior rival, it is forgiven. No example set for our daughters there? Yet they are let off with no punishment. Barry Bonds hits a ball over the wall, and the excuse is that this is not a good example to our boys. The US is the only place where a woman can fuck her 13 year old student for over a year and let other 13 year old boys watch, and because the mother of the 13 year old is worried about her poor little boy being subjected to the media, she asks the law to slap her on the wrist with no jail time and they do?? WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THAT!?!? The poor kid behind my house got caught with two 3.5gram bags of weed and he is deemed a dealer by LE. His dad is dieing of cancer and he has enough problems. His mom and half the neighborhood stood up for him and asked them not to prosecute, but they still did! 6 months in jail!!??!?! WHAT THE FUCK? 1 Beer is a DUI in the US, yet they provide a parking lot to drive to the bar even though the bar does not serve food. Yet if a cop drinks and drives its 85% of the time ok if they are caught, and if they speed or run red lights it is 100% ok. They set such good examples.... In the eighties steroids were going to kill a mass number of users in there older years, where are they? Now it is roid rage??? Where is the proof aside from finding a bottle of test, that Chris Benoit killed his wife and kid? If you here how they were found, it sounds like murder to me. Why is it there are millions of men and women who get beat up by their spouses, get into fights, rage over stupid things, but when the person happens to be an athlete or bodybuilder, it is roid rage? WHAT THE FUCK! Why is it when a person dies of a heart attack, stroke, etc. it is bad lifestyle habits that killed them, but when a past steroid user who lives the exact same way dies of the same diseases, at the same age, it is said to be from the steroids? How is it that the US sells cigarettes and alcohol but makes prohormones to require a prescription, and furthermore goes as far to make them CONTROLLED DANGEROUS SUBSTANCES when no one died?? They come into our gyms smoking and drinking and tell us we cannot take something no one has died from??? WHAT THE FUCK?!? How is something passed as a dangerous substance in the US when not one person died? Smoking and drinking is ok though, right? What examples to set are they talking about?? Hypocrites, hypocrites, hypocrites....that is what the US LAW is. I'll keep going.... Former President lied to the grand jury about an affair he had with a 19 year old intern. Dont care about the affair... he lied period! Was found not guilty for lying! I believe that is called dictatorship. His punishment could have been nothing and that would have been ok to me, but he lied and was found not guilty by a democratic cabinet! Not good. All signs of decline. So I ask all of us as Americans to take a long look at the past 2 administrations behavior. Both administrations are responsible for this mess. Because you must be rich to run in politics in this country, you can see that it has finally happened to the US...what do I mean? Look at what we focus our attention and concerns on. Simply put, there are nothing but rich, spoiled, brats up there that have no clue about what it really takes to survive and take care of your family. You want change? Don't vote another Clinton in, (I cannot believe people are dumb enough to even consider that), and DON'T VOTE FOR ANYONE WHO IS BEING FUNDED BY OIL, PHARMACY, OR INSURANCE. It is that simple, but it will never happen because the majority of Americans understand politics like quantum physics. So they vote based on what they hear, not what they know. Educate yourselves and you will see..... unfortunately most Americans education comes from CNN and FOX news.... WERE A DICTATORSHIP...lets face it....A DICTATORSHIP OF MONEY!, Penalties do not fit the crimes. That is why there are 7X as many people in jail than anywhere else in the world, and it keeps rising. Terrible place for a struggling person who does a little hormones and exercises, drinks a little beer, blue collar worker to live..... terrible...What have the US become?... A bunch of jealous, rumor spreading, know it all, dictating, uneducated ass holes. We are truly the laughing stock of all other organized countries on the world. First chance I get I'm moving to Canada. At least there I will not be considered a criminal for being an athlete. YOUR A TRUE IGNORANT ASS HOLE MR. BUSH!! THANKS FOR EVERYTHING. I WAS BORN HERE, BUT I AM ASHAMED TO SAY I'M FROM HERE.
 
so fucking shitty. its all been said already but i want to put in my 2 cents too...
people in my town get DUIS constantly, i know multiple people who have ruined their lives with heroin and cant get clean even with help, and fucking cocaine is so common that you can buy it in half the bars on burnside but STEROIDS are the problem?! I wonder how many kids od'd on the heroin that got in because the money was spent on fucking hunting down recreational atheletes.
it amazes me that to give the impression that we are winning the war on drugs (we never have been) they spend all that money and time to eradicate fucking UG labs... when coke and heroid flood the country like water. Like ignoring the grizzly because its too big to deal with and squashing a mosquito.

shitty time for me as well, i was just planning my winter bulker. looks like ill just have to back to european test and good ole' home brew fina. sucks though i was looking forward to picking up some powders and trying some new things.

so good job motherfuckers, what the fuck is accomplished when all the juicers just go back to ordering from overseas?
 
good point Warmachine

there will always be this issue of steroids in america. We just go to ordering from overseas now. they can't impsect every fucking package......uh can they?
