One of the original corresponds of CBS’s 60 minutes presented an interview with Roger Clemens

Mike Wallace, a prominent investigative journalist, who was one of the initial correspondents of CBS’ 60 Minutes died, when he was 93 years old. This correspondent hosted fascinating interviews with world prominent persons. The latest stories were connected with the baseball star Roger Clemens and accusations connected with administration of anabolic steroids and HGH by this athlete. Mike Wallace’s last appearance on TV was connected with this case.
The interview with Roger Clemens about steroids was presented in January, 2008. Rusty Hardin, the defense attorney for Roger Clemens, arranged the appearing of this former baseball player in the program 60 Minutes. Roger Clemens had to defense himself against accusations of his former personal coach Brian McNamee. This coach accused Roger Clemens in application of anabolic steroids and HGH. He collaborated with Mitchell Report investigators, when they tried to define the widespread of steroid use in the Major League Baseball.
Wallace didn’t enforce Clemens to tell that he used steroids. He just convinced him to prove to others that he had used neither steroids, nor HGH. Roger Clemens affirmed that he would be able to pull a tractor with his teeth, if he had used steroids.
The interview of Clemens was a black public relations ploy for Rusty Hardin. It was not the best interview. But it renewed the interest after Wallace’s death.
Actually, Wallace hosted much more interesting interviews during his career. The steroid interview with Roger Clemens was not the most interesting. Why did it draw each person’s attention?
Other interviews of Wallace are quite significant. Wallace interviewed the lawyer of the president Richard Nixon and the assistant to the president for Domestic Affairs John Ehrlichman during the Watergate scandal. Wallace called the Watergate scandal “perjury”. He named such methods of Richard Nixon, as thefts, spying, obstruction of justice, etc. The scandal led to resignation of the president Richard Nixon.
The Iranian leader Ayatollah Khomeini was also interviewed by Wallace. The journalist identified him as a “lunatic”. But he was quoting the president Anwar el-Sadat of Egypt.
Another individual who was interviewed by Wallace was the Vice President of Research and Development at a tobacco company. Jeffrey Wigand admitted that executives of the company cheated before the Congress about their knowledge about nature of nicotine.
Although these interviews were significant, a lot of people directed their attention to insignificant interview with Roger Clemens. It may be because while lying of Roger Clemens before the Congress can lead to federal war on steroids, the war on nicotine will never exist.

Bodybuilding supplements with a compound from mustard will appear soon

Some recent researches have set some benefits of mustard. Anyone knows that it is a good remedy that adds pleasant flavor to food. Moreover, it has been defined that mustard can 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 called “homobrassinolide” found in mustard and other related herbs is capable to increase lean muscle mass and energy in mammals.
28-Homobrassinolide represents a brassinosteroid. It is a type of steroid which is contained in plants which belong to Brassica family. It has been known that it can promote growing plants. But no one has been aware about its function in mammals. The specialists have determined that homobrassinolide has ability to cause anabolic effects in mammals. It promotes enhancing protein synthesis, stimulates appetite and enhances muscle mass through enhancement of number and size of muscle fibers in animals.
Healthy rats have been implicated in the research. They have been given oral homobrassinolide during 24 days. Dual-emission x-ray absorptiometry analysis has been applied in order to check changes in weight, food consumption and composition of rats’ bodies. It has been observed that animals who have been given homobrassinolide have gained significantly more muscle mass than those that have not received this compound.
Enhancement of muscle mass indicates about a higher basal metabolic rate. Enhanced BMR is associated with great caloric burning that helps to remain lean.
So, the study has clearly demonstrated that homobrassinolide increases protein synthesis, enhances size and number of muscle fibers that play an important role for enhancement of endurance.
Specialists think that such plants, as mustard, can be used for higher brassinosteroid content. It can help to have lean muscle mass, enhance it and prevent certain diseases.
It is suggested that future supplement and medicine industry will elaborate preparations that will be efficacious in case of certain diseases related to muscle wasting. Such products can be taken as alternative products to synthetic steroids because the first ones will probably have minimal or no adverse effects.
Leaves of mustard are low-calorie. They are rich in antioxidants. Leaves of mustard have anti-inflammatory effects. Furthermore, they represent a good source of iron, magnesium, fiber, selenium and phosphorous.
Mustard can be used for preparing salads, curds and tempering. It would be useful to take at least one teaspoon of mustard with water or meal in order to get several benefits.

Suspicions related to the doctor Alberto Beltran Nino were justified

admin — Sun, 13 May 2012 09:47:45 +0000

Mossos d’Esqudra and Spain’s Policia Nacional conducted a steroid investigation that resulted in arrest of 10 individuals that were implicated in a steroid chain. These persons provided top amateur and professional sportspersons and even Olympic athletes with anabolic steroids, HGH, EPO, CERA and other related products. The investigation was called “Operacion Skype”. The steroid ring was located in Barcelona.
The investigation was initially related to David Garcia Dapena, a professional cyclist, who tested positive for EPO after the 2010 Vuelta a Espana. It was affirmed that David Garcia Dapena had increased hematocrit levels which indicated about usage of EPO.
Garcia didn’t deny intake of the prohibited product. He collaborated with the police. The cyclist acknowledged that he had bought preparations with performance-enhancing effects from the health care provider Alberto Beltran Nino.
It was determined that Beltran had been the leader of an organization connected with sophisticated doping. This organization supplied cyclists and other sportspeople with banned medicines. It was also determined that several athletes who participated 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 persons who got steroids and other banned drugs from this doping organization.
It was even earlier suspected that Beltran supplied sportspersons with steroids and other related medicines and taught them how to avoid being caught. This doctor was arrested in Italy after he was caught driving his car that contained steroids and other related medicines.
The Portuguese professional cyclist Nuno Ribeiro accused the physician Beltran in injecting him with prohibited products after he tested positive for CERA in 2009.
The sprinter Jose Luis Blanco assisted in the steroid investigation that had been conducted against Beltran after this person tested positive for EPO at the 2012 Spanish Athletics Championships.
Beltran moved to Bahrain in 2009. Since that time the doctor had no any direct contact with any athlete.
Nonetheless, the police suspect that he has set up a team of intermediaries in various countries. They have bought 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.
Although no any sportsperson has tested positive for these preparations, it is supposed that some athletes have intended to utilize these preparations.

Bench presses, leg presses, squats and arm curls should be performed. When it comes to cardio exercises, they must be avoided during usage of AndroGel for bodybuilding.

Prostitutes use steroids for the same purposes like bodybuilders

admin — Sun, 13 May 2012 09:44:29 +0000

Young females in Bangladesh that are involved in prostitution utilize steroids to get weight and bulk up. It has been written by Reuters. The article’s headline contains the following words: “dark steroid secret”. It is noted that prostitutes from Bangladesh use steroids in order to have better appearance. Of course, the first thoughts that come in mind in this situation are related to abuse of anabolic steroids. But reading the article completely and more attentively, every person may comprehend that it is written not about anabolic steroids but about corticosteroids.
One of corticosteroids that are purchasable at pharmacies of Bangladesh is sold under the trade name Oradexon. It is not needed to have a prescription in order to get this preparation. Its cost is circa 15 taka which equal to 0, 18 USD dollars. Another name of this medication is Dexamethasone. This is an anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant drug which is prescribed for treatment of people that suffer various diseases. This remedy is over 25 times more potent that the natural steroid hormone cortisol.
90 % of prostitutes at the 15 legal cathouses from Bangladesh administer the corticosteroid Oradexon. 90 % equal to 900 young sex workers who apply this remedy continually. They administer it by own choice or are enforced to do it. Thus, some of them are enforced to administer it. But others administer this medication volitionally because it is stated that corticosteroids have capacity to enhance strength and improve health.
It may seem to be ironically but sex workers from Bangladesh that utilize corticosteroids have the same purposes like those which encourage bodybuilders to use anabolic steroids. Sex workers utilize corticosteroids in order to improve physical appearance, add weight and increase appetite.
It is claimed that Oradexon is able to give healthy appearance to users. It is appreciated by customers. A woman who is involved in prostitution in Bangladesh says that customers are seeking healthy women. Since she needs money in order 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 put efforts to earn money for her son.
In fact, unwanted consequences that may be caused due to corticosteroids are much more serious than those that can be provoked by intake of anabolic steroids. Corticosteroids can affect immune system, cause osteoporosis and insulin resistance, increase appetite essentially, and increase weight and fat.
Specialists try to draw people’s attention to abuse of corticosteroids and possible side consequences of them.
Effectiveness of AndroGel for bodybuilding!
Besides ordinary directions to this steroid, you should obey some specified directions, when it comes to application of AndroGel for bodybuilding. Persons that desire to promote gaining muscle mass due to this preparation need to perform exercises which involve big muscles during administration of this preparation. Bench presses, leg presses, squats and arm curls have to be performed. When it comes to cardio exercises, they should be avoided during administration of AndroGel for bodybuilding. You should have also certain diets, if you desire to get magnificent effects. Much protein and starchy carbohydrate should be contained in your meal.

D. J. Williams and Ryan McBean were suspended because they provided “non-human” urine samples for drug testing

admin — Thu, 10 May 2012 07:23:44 +0000

The National Football League suspended D. J. Williams, a linebacker, and defensive lineman Ryan McBean of the team Denver Broncos for violation of steroid policy. These players were banned from six games. But they were not suspended for intake 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 claimed that he had never tested for any banned medicine during 8 years of his career. The linebacker mentioned 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 sportsman.
The attorney for McBean, Peter Shaffer, affirmed that the NFL had violated rights of this player. He noticed that since McBean had never tested positive for any banned drug, the NFL didn’t have any right to ban him.
Peter Schaffer mentioned that he wanted to make it clear that neither D. J. Williams, nor Ryan McBean tested positive for prohibited drugs.
A lawsuit was filed in Denver County Court against suspensions of these players of the NFL.
The players affirmed that the drug testing officer had violated certain rules linked with the procedure of collecting urine samples.
Schaffer noted that certain similarities had been between his client and Ryan Braun. Braun won his appeal related to his suspension from 50 games for administration 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 him. 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 wrong doing his duty.
At the hearing the NFL administrators admitted that the drug testing officer violated the rules linked with collection of urine samples.
Nevertheless, the appeal on behalf of the football players was rejected.

What can be called “a medication”?

admin — Thu, 10 May 2012 07:22:04 +0000

What may be called “a medicine”? The FDA affirms that a drug represents a substance; it isn’t a supplement. It is used for diagnosis, cure, prevention of diseases, for appropriate influence on body’s functions. It is possible to make it clear that a medicine is a medicine which has nothing to do with politics and great money.
But there is certain confusion today. A law that has been established in 1994 by Senators Orrin Hatch and Tom Harkin has caused the confusion between supplements and medications. Thus, mega-billion dollar supplements industry has promoted causing the disorder in clear definitions. Users’ ignorance and several legislative expressions with doubled sense have played essential role in creation of following conception: everything that is sold is safe.
This wrong conception led to various serious problems. For example, over a year ago 2 young soldiers of the U. S. Army died due to usage of so-called “supplements” Jack3d and OxyElite Pro. The case is still investigated. Actually, it has been set that those soldiers had applied an amphetamine-like synthetic substance which has been called “dimethylamylamine”. It had negative influence on their cardiovascular and nervous systems. Since it has changed function of bodies, it is a medicine. Although it is a prohibited compound administered by sportspeople, it is getable at the Vitamin Shoppe or GNC.
Health stores sell preparations which are similar to that compound mentioned above. They are getable as dietary supplements but it is not true.
Another product is DHEA. It represents a steroid which can be transformed in users’ bodies into anabolic steroids or neurohormonal steroids. This factor influences on physiological functions of body. Is it a dietary supplement actually?
Another product that is getable as a dietary supplement is RockHard Weekend. It contains various compounds. But does anyone know which substances are contained in the bottle? May anyone be sure that they are safe for usage?
One of people’s mistakes is that they think the following way: if any product is made of plants, it is safe for intake. Many persons claim that such supplements can’t have negative influence on body’s functions. It is wrong to think this way. There are plants which are poisonous. It is forbidden to consume them.
Hemlock was the poison that caused Socrates’ death. It was derived from certain herb. Ricin which is considered 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 apply in order to avoid taking products that contain any poison, regardless they are from herbs or not.
Why are companies allowed to sell drugs as if they were dietary supplemenets? Supplements don’t pass any FDA control. Here we may say about affirmations with doubled sense. The Hatch-Harken law allows the supplement industry to introduce preparations which are labeled as supplements. But are they really supplements? Certain drugs are sold, being marketed as dietary supplements. But it is wrong completely. These substances may be unsafe.
Does anybody believe that anabolic steroids and other related medications may be marketed as dietary supplements? Do they supplement or cure? A term was elaborated in order to prevent utilizing medical terms. This term is “to support”. What does this verb mean? Isn’t it a wink to the term “to cure”?
The FDA wants to establish control over dietary supplements. There will be a requirement for all new supplements to be safe.
Pharmaceutical companies spend hundreds millions of dollars in order to set whether new medications are safe. Some of them fail to be called “safe” due to dangerous undesirable results. But as for manufacturers of dietary supplements, they don’t have these troubles because there do not have such requirements in supplement industry.
Supplement requirements are connected with money and not with science. In fact, they should have the same regulations like those which are established for pharmaceutical companies.

Brian McNamee claims that trainers are the biggest steroid pushers

admin — Tue, 08 May 2012 09:22:25 +0000

Brian McNamee confirms that trainers are the main persons who promote intake of anabolic steroids. The convicted distributor of steroids notices that trainers have the most essential influence on decisions of young athletes to take banned products. Their influence is bigger than one of street dealers who offer forbidden drugs for sales, trying to convince young athletes that they may have great success due to usage of these medicines. Brian McNamee supposes that coaches and the society teach young sportspersons that they must win at any cost. This aspect pressures students that are involved in sports. It promotes causing their decision to take steroids and other related medicines.
Brian McNamee was invited to share his opinion at the Nassau Counselors Association’s conference. He pronounced some thoughts during a presentation which was called “Creating a Safe Environment for Our Student-Athletes”. He received an honorarium of 200 dollars. McNamee donated this sum of money to the Taylor Hooton Foundation.
McNamee is known better as a coach that has injected Roger Clemens with anabolic steroids and HGH. It was noticed that he kept all syringes and vials that were applied for injecting Roger Clemens with steroids during circa 7 years. He supported accusations of federal prosecutors against Clemens.
The testimony of McNamee induced publishing the Mitchell Report on steroids in the Major League Baseball. The Report was worth of 20 million dollars. It was published in December 2007. Statements of Brian McNamee and Kirk Radomski represented the base for publishing the report. They provided evidence connected with usage of steroids in professional baseball. These men were enforced to collaborate with investigators of the Mitchell Report. It was their agreement which was achieved because of charges connected with steroids.
The agreement also requires testimony of McNamee as a government witness in the trial of Roger Clemens. He couldn’t say details linked with the case of Roger Clemens during the Nassau Counselors Association. But the time will come, when he says the story connected with Clemens.
Although it was declared a mistrial in the 1st trial related to the case of Roger Clemens, it was scheduled a new trial.

Jose Canseco will fight against Shaquille O’Neal

admin — Tue, 08 May 2012 09:19:27 +0000

It has been recently noticed that Jose Canseco and Shaquille O’Neal have discussed their possibility to fight against each other in a match of mixed martial arts. The challenge was made by O’Neal last year but Jose Canseco didn’t take him seriously. Only now Jose Canseco began to take him seriously.
Several persons affirm that Jose Canseco needs money since the Triple-A Quintana Roo Tigres of the Mexican Baseball League has invited him to play professional baseball.
Jose Canseco must have a steroid test before starting playing in this team. But as it is known, he uses Testosterone Cypionate and HCG which are recommended by his doctor for testosterone replacement therapy. However he has justified therapeutic needs for usage of these drugs, he must get some specific documents to be allowed to play professional baseball. While his fate connected with playing baseball professionally is not yet decided, he wants to fight against O’Neal in a match.
O’Neal has noticed that he is ready to fight against Jose Canseco. He reported that he had challenged Canseco long ago.
Shaquille O’Neal doesn’t trouble that Canseco administers anabolic steroids. He possesses own secret methods and he states that he can neutralize effects of Jose Canseco which are caused by administration of Testosterone Cypionate.
It was scheduled that Jose Canseco would fight against the former player of the MLB Lenny Dykstra. When this person played professional baseball, he also applied anabolic steroids.
Randall Lane confirms in his book “The Zeroes: My Misadventures in the Decade Wall Street Went Insane” that Lenny Dykstra has admitted that he administered anabolic steroids. Dykstra told Lane that Jose Canseco and he had induced causing steroid revolution in baseball.
Jeff Scott, a bodybuilder from Florida, confirmed that he supplied Lenny Dykstra with drugs that enhance performance at sums of 20, 000 dollars. He also noticed that he injected Dykstra with steroids numerous times.
But the fight between Dykstra and Jose Canseco never happened because Lenny Dykstra was prosecuted on certain counts, including thefts, false financial statements and possession of controlled substances. Finally, he was sentenced to jail.
Shaquille O’Neal offered to fight against Jose Canseco instead of Dykstra. He asked the UFC’s president Dana White to arrange a match with Jose Canseco. Jose Canseco accepted the challenge of Shaquille O’Neal.

British rules on steroids contradict the WADA Code

admin — Thu, 03 May 2012 09:42:56 +0000

The British Olympic Association tries to justify itself for the aspect that it breaks laws of the World Anti-Doping Agency. According to rules of the WADA, punishment for application of anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs should be the same around the world. The punishment that is indicated for a sportsperson that has applied forbidden drugs for the first time is sentencing to bans of 2 years.
But the British Olympic Association confirms that such punishment is not sufficient. The BOA sentences users of steroids for life-time bans from participating in the Olympic Games. The WADA notices that this law of the BOA contradicts the WADA Code that is unvarying.
Lord Moynihan, the chairman of the BOA, hasn’t agreed to change the rule. As a result, a hearing has been scheduled to be at a Court of Arbitration for Sports in London.
The athletes that had applied prohibited products were suspended by the International Olympic Committee from participations in Olympics under the Osaka Rule.
Lord Moynihan claimed that the law of the BOA linked with life-time bans wouldn’t be cancel, if even the CAS would be in contradiction with it. The BOA claims that it has the best laws.
Lord Moynihan supported affirmations written by the former British Olympic decathlete Daley Thompson who claimed that British laws linked with doping were the best. He claimed that they shouldn’t be overthrown by the rest part of the world.
Delay Thompson believes that cheaters must be punished harshly. They must be banned for the whole life. According to his point of view, the BOA shouldn’t agree with the law of the WADA to sentence cheaters just for 2-year bans. He believes that the Britain wants to have the highest sport standards. He states that if the rest part of the world doesn’t want to have high standards, it doesn’t mean that Britain should follow their low levels.
David Howman, the director general of the WADA, criticizes the opinion proclaimed by Daley, noting 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 agree with the laws of the WADA. It seems to be strange that Travis Tygart that ordinarily blames dopers criticizes the BOA for the strict law.
Travis claims that since international laws have been once established and all have agreed to them, anybody should follow them.
Dwain Chambers and David Millar, British athletes, who have been earlier banned for intake of forbidden substances wait for the decisions connected with this issue. They want to know whether they will be allowed to take part in the 2012 London Olympics.

How did Patrick Arnold start manufacturing steroids?

admin — Thu, 03 May 2012 09:41:10 +0000

No one from New Jersey desires to be implicated in a low-paying job which is connected with production of chemicals which are used in shampoos and hair gels. Let remind what has happened in this state in 1994.
Patrick Arnold, a guy of the age of 24, was alone in a room. He was mixing various special thickeners in order to enhance viscosity of certain solutions. Arnold was doing this job much time. Thus, he had sufficient time to ponder about his fate, blaming it. This guy was unhappy that the job was bothering and nothing interesting happened. But there was no any other job.
Although his future was before him, some months went away before he saw the way.
Patrick Arnold was a zealous weightlifter. But he has discontinued much time ago to put his efforts in order to pump up. Nonetheless, every day after his job he used to go to a gym where he had trainings and had discussions with other athletes. Their discussions were often linked with anabolic steroids. Arnold had specialized in chemistry at the University of New Haven. That’s why it was not surprisingly that the discussions linked with steroids made him to meditate.
Once after Arnold had stirred thickeners he went to the chemistry library and looked at molecular structures of the steroids that were described in several fitness magazines. Anabolic steroids had been already proclaimed to be controlled medications. But there was still enough information about these medicines.
Looking at molecular structures of steroids, Patrick Arnold was pondering why he was doing that awful job. He concluded that it would be much better for him to try producing steroids himself. Arnold ordered some chemicals through the company. It was required to have them for manufacture of steroids. No one was aware what he was going to do.
At the beginning Arnold endured certain troubles. He didn’t get success at once. For example, he desired to make a preparation that had to possess a crystalline structure. But it turned out to be that he got liquid that was like sticky oil. He comprehended that it meant that potentially toxic impurities and reactants were not split from the brew. Step by step he became more experienced. He began to utilize solvents in order to wash impurities and reactants away. He could make desired medications. Their crystalline-like structures indicated that they were purified.

Banned steroid users want to prove that they may compete successfully without steroid use

admin — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 08:58:45 +0000

2 sprinters that have served bans want to manifest that they can win without intake of steroids. They want to compete at the 2012 London Olympics. Justin Gatlin, an American runner, and Dwain Chambers, a British sprinter, want to show that they may win, competing clean.
They have already shown that they are worthy to be called “Olympic champions”. While Justin Gatlin has obtained the gold medal, Dwain Chambers has obtained the bronze medal in the 60 meter sprint a1t the 2012 World Indoor Athletics Championship in Turkey.
Justin Gatlin was invited to professional sports again by the USA Track and Field and the US Olympic Committee. These 2 agencies reported about their attitude to this sportsperson, supporting him.
When it comes to Dwain Chambers, it is unclear yet whether he will be allowed to take part in the Olympics. This athlete was not so supported, as Justin Gatlin was. Chambers received cold response from the British Olympic Association (BOA). This sprinter’s return to sports induced the decision of the BOA to suspend sportspersons that have been caught administering steroids from the Olympics forever.
The World Anti-Doping Agency has informed the BOA that this decision violated the WADA rules connected with banned medicines. The BOA decided to war on WADA and to prevent participation of Dwain Chambers for the United Kingdom in the Olympics. The BOA has taken the case to the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS).
Thus, while Justin Gatlin was supported by the US Olympic Committee, Chambers’ case was not pleasant.
Justin Gatlin has never acknowledged that he had taken steroids intentionally. But Chambers took the complete responsibility for steroid use.
The American sprinter tested positive for testosterone in April 2006. His world record was annulled after the results of testing had been pronounced. At the beginning this sportsperson was suspended for eight years. Later his ban was reduced by half due to cooperation with the USADA.
Gatlin didn’t admit that he had utilized steroids knowingly. He blamed his masseuse for application of a testosterone cream during a massage.
On the contrary, Chambers admitted that he had taken steroids and taken the whole responsibility for the violation of steroid rules. He was banned for 2 years. This athlete forfeited all medals he got since 2002.
Various attitudes to these sprinters have displayed the difference between perceptions of sportspersons who have applied steroids by anti-doping officials in the USA and in the UK.
