Dietary supplements companies frequently label anabolic steroids as nutrition supplements. So, they sell these illicit medications. They trick the Drug Enforcement Administration and customers that acquire such products. As a result, some sportspersons test positive for forbidden substances while they assure that they have never administered any steroid or another forbidden product. Dietary supplements companies must be punished for such conditions.
For example, Myogenix is a dietary supplement company which is located in California. This company acknowledged that they sold a synthetic steroid that was labeled as a nutrition supplement. It was named Spawn. It was made of the following compounds: 19-Norandrosta-4,9 diene-3,17 dione and 2a,3a-epithio-17a-methyletioallocholanol. So, the supplement Spawn consisted of 2 steroids but it was labeled as a dietary supplement.
Myogenix admitted that they had sold Spawn between 2007 and 2009. The company was sentenced to pay a $500.000 fine. Furthermore, the company forfeited $100.000 immediately.
According to the decision of the court, products produced and sold by this company will be tested for 5 years by an independent organization. All new nutrition supplements should be controlled scrupulously and approved by the FDA before Myogenix will be allowed to sell them.
Actually, the company Myogenix should thank the lawyer Rick Collins that has defended the company. He defended the owners and other stuff of the company efficiently. No one was sentenced to imprisonment. This defense attorney was hired to defend also other companies that were linked to the website Bodybuilding.com. These companies also were sentenced just to fines and money seizures.
