Most media reports would have you believe steroid users are predominantly young men suffering a “crisis of male ego” who are on a “deadly crusade to get ripped”. The focus tends to be on health harms and the danger associated with using these substances. After critically assessing the research in this field, we found people use steroids for a variety of reasons. And while steroid use does carry risks, not all users will develop personal problems or cause harm to others.

Many men continue to abuse steroids despite knowing that they have serious, life-limiting and potentially lethal side effects, according to findings to be presented in Lyon, at the European Society of Endocrinology annual meeting, ECE 2019.

In the world of fitness modelling, Karan Oberoi is a name that is uttered quite often. As a Delhi lad who came from an academic family, becoming the face on the covers of highly popular and respected health magazines in the country was a far-fetched idea. Yet, that’s where his unlikely journey led him and today he is one of the topmost fitness models in the country.

Miguel Debono, consultant in endocrinology and diabetes and honorary senior lecturer at Sheffield Teaching Hospitals and the University of Sheffield, has obtained a prestigious grant from the National Institute for Health Research to assess the use of a new test to identify patients who lack the ability to produce their own natural body steroids and suffer from a condition known as adrenal insufficiency (AI). The grant of up to a quarter of a million pounds (€290,000) will fund the study that aims to roll on the test onto the NHS within the next three years and implement its use as part of everyday clinical care throughout the UK. It is estimated that the test will save the NHS around £10 million (€11.6 m) every year.

The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence arrested a man with foreign currency and muscle-enhancing steroids worth over three crore rupees at Indira Gandhi International Airport, an official statement issued on Sunday said. Acting on a tip off, the DRI intercepted the accused on the intervening night of Friday and Saturday when he was going to board a Bangkok-bound Air India flight. DRI officers recovered foreign currencies, including the Euro and the British Pound, from his possession worth Rs. 1.28 crore, the statement said. The accused revealed that he worked for a syndicate involved in smuggling of anabolic steroids and the foreign currency he was carrying was for purchasing these, the probe agency said. In a follow-up search, officers seized many anabolic steroids worth more than Rs. 2 crore, it said. These steroids are used extensively by athletes and weightlifters in professional tournaments.

Lars Sullivan might not do much talking in NXT and it might be a good idea to keep the microphone away from him on the main roster as well. Because Sullivan might be a little uncontrollable when it comes to what comes out of his mouth, or at least his fingers. We previously reported how Sullivan posted some pretty awful things in a bodybuilding message board including a racist joke, a homophobic comment about NFL quarterback Philip Rivers, and also a dig at KFC and their food. But apparently. Sullivan even said that he’d be in Impact Wrestling a decade ago, but he also had something to say about Bobby Lashley as well.

A hardcore dominatrix, who ran one of the best known BDSM clubs in Britain, was found dead in her own dungeon, an inquest into her death heard. The 56-year-old, Koulla Kakoulli, who was also known as Mistress Dometria, ran a private BDSM torture chamber that was meant for high paying clients. Kakoulli was also said to be the most brutal dominatrix in the world. The mother-of-five and grandmother-of-one also reportedly starred in hardcore fetish films and even regularly competed in international bodybuilding tournaments. She ran the exclusive club, called The Brighton Dungeon, on the south coast of the country, reported The Sun. Kakoulli's website, which was shut down shortly after she passed away in August this year, had the message that read: "It is not for the faint-hearted and portrays BDSM and fetishism at its most extreme".

A police officer suspected of using anabolic steroids to improve his physique has been sacked. PC Lewis Jackson refused to take a drugs test, insisting his newfound bulk was the result of hard training. A disciplinary hearing was told Facebook photos of the officer "seemed to indicate a disparity in his early and current physique". He was dismissed without notice after a Lincolnshire Police panel found him guilty of gross misconduct. Gainsborough-based Mr Jackson was investigated after a colleague reported suspicions to a chief inspector. Mr Jackson resigned on 9 October, the day after being asked to take a drugs test, the hearing was told. After refusing to give a sample, he was told declining the test would be treated the same as failing it.

Men who use androgenic anabolic steroids such as testosterone may face a higher risk of early death, warns a new study. Mortality was three times higher amongst users of anabolic steroids - steroidal androgens that include natural ones like testosterone as well as synthetic - compared to non-users. The higher use was also associated with significant increase in hospital admissions as a result of high side effects including acne, gynaecomastia, and erectile dysfunction. Anabolic steroids are associated with a range of side effects that can be directly attributed to their pharmacological activities, according to lead author Henrik Horwitz, from the University of Copenhagen in Denmark.

This alleges possession of a controlled class C drug - the anabolic steroid, methandienone - with intent to supply. Obaid's trial began today at Carlisle Crown Court, where Joseph Dowsett told a jury he was employed as security staff member at the festival site near Penrith last year. At around 10.30pm on July 28, Mr Dowsett said he was approached by a man who asked: "Do you want to buy any pills?" After being allegedly offered "four for 30 quid", Mr Dowsett said he revealed he was a security employee. After calling for backup, he saw blue heart-shaped pills in the man's bag. Prosecutor Julian Goode said 213 tablets - unlawful to supply but not possess - were recovered from Obaid along with £265 cash.

Men have been taking steroids for gaining muscle strength either for personal goals or for athletic purpose around the world. They tend to improve their physique and endurance through anabolic steroids which can support their exercise regime and help them retains more muscle mass rapidly. Dianabol is one of the most well-known steroids for this purpose which is available in pill form and injectable form as well. However, the pill form is more common worldwide as men took it for enhancing their performance in every way. Dianabol is a derived product from methandienone which has anabolic and androgenic effects on the body. Let’s find out why this steroid became so popular and then got blocked by the FDA for its illegal products.

The warrants were executed under the Misuse of Drugs Act following information gathered by Humberside Police. A spokesperson said that two men have been arrested for possession with intent to supply a controlled drug (steroids) are currently in custody.

A dispute stemming from an argument over steroid use has landed a personal trainer in jail. A 32-year-old former competitive bodybuilder was sentenced in a Stratford courtroom to 45 days in jail after pleading guilty to assaulting his partner. Ontario Court Justice Kathryn McKerlie told the man being strong and physically fit does not entitle him to overpower another person. “Particularly someone who you describe as the love of your life,” she said. Court heard on June 30 a female complainant called police for help after being assaulted in her home. The woman told police the pair had argued over the man’s use of steroids and she went into the bedroom and locked the door, but the man broke through the door. The man grabbed her in a bear hug and threw her onto the bed, court heard.

SARMS are the hot new thing on the sketchy supplement market. Chances are you probably saw one of those fitness youtubers talk about this in the last year or so. From what I’ve seen so far the videos come in either of the following three categories; 1. A consumer telling you their experience with SARMs, 2. A critic of unnatural athletes and hidden consumers, and 3. The know-it-all “expert” explaining the science behind the supplement. For the purpose of this article, I will be the know-it-all explainer. So let’s start from the bare basics, the name: Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators. This means, unlike anabolic steroids, this targets your skeletal muscle specifically. “Wait..what, I don’t get it?” I am glad you are confused, because now I can do my magic and mansplain to you the difference ‘roids and SARMs.

Former WWE star Neville — once again known as PAC — is shutting down haters who accused him of being on steroids over the weekend. For those who missed it, PAC shared a picture showing how jacked he currently is and captioned the photo, “KISS MY MUSCULAR ARSE.” As you’d expect on Twitter, some questioned if he had used steroids to get that muscular. PAC responded to those people on Monday in legendary fashion saying: “I am a STEROID FREE SAVAGE! Fueled only by HATE AND VENGEANCE.” In case you missed it … the “King” recently wrestled against Flamita for Dragon Gate — his first singles match since returning to the ring. The match can be seen on their video service. Pac is also set to wrestle on December 4th for the Open The Dream Gate Championship.

Billy Corben, the acclaimed documentary filmmaker behind "Cocaine Cowboys" and ESPN's 30 for 30 "The U," is back with a new film that combines his two most familiar subject matters: Drugs and sports. "Screwball," which focuses on baseball's Steroid Era, will have its premiere on Saturday at Doc NYC, a documentary festival. One of the centerpieces of Corben's new film is Alex Rodriguez, who has somehow managed to become popular since his retirement from baseball. According to For The Win, the documentary will look into A-Rod's PED saga, including what happened after the 2009 press conference in which he admitted to using PEDs. It also looks into Rodriguez trying to overturn his suspension, and the lengths he went to do it.

Cycling’s newest doping violation comes from an unlikely source. Greg Doucette, who made headlines in 2012 when he was charged with smuggling illegal steroids into Canada, crossed paths with anti-doping officials in May, 2018. After his latest run-in, CCES announced the former weightlifter would be banned from sport for eight years as a result of refusing to submit a sample.While new to cycling, Doucette is most famous for his career as a professional powerlifter and his 2012 arrest for smuggling illegal steroids. Doucette won the heavyweight division at the 2012 Canadian National Bodybuilding Championships, earning him a prestigious Pro Card from the International Federation of Bodybuilders (IFBB).The achievement was short-lived. Just a week later, Doucette was charged on August 24, 2012. Officials found $250, 000 of performance-enhancing drugs and seized $23, 000 in case from his Halifax home. In 2014, Doucette paid $52,000 fine after being successfully charged with “possessing, smuggling, importing, trafficking and distributing anabolic steroids.”

A police operation on Monday led to the arrest of 11 Greeks – 10 men and a woman – believed to be members of an international criminal racket dealing in anabolic steroids in Greece and other countries. Working together, officers of the Greek Police (ELAS) and the Financial Police conducted simultaneous raids in Attica, Crete and Epirus.

A rugby player has described how he was encouraged by people in his club to take performance-enhancing drugs before getting an unprompted phone call from a supplier. Today we reveal the extent of the drugs problem in Welsh rugby. As part of our investigation, we have: Spoken to players, ex-players and coaches who've described just how big they believe Welsh rugby's drugs problem to be; Heard stories of players being warned to stay away, or leave, training sessions because the "red coats" (the name given by players to UKAD drug testers) are due; Heard Welsh rugby described as "infamous" for its doping problem by someone on the other side of the world; Heard the concerns of a cardiologist over the "growing epidemic of image- and performance-enhancing drug use" in south Wales. "I was told I had to put on weight and there were different methods that could help," says one currently banned Welsh rugby player, speaking on condition of anonymity. "I'd jumped from a low level and got offered [the chance] to play at a higher level but I wasn't really ready." Those "different methods" were performance-enhancing drugs. And the people pushing them were involved with the coaching setup at his club.

SPENCER Matthews is desperate to make a return to I'm A Celebrity after being kicked out for taking steroids. The reality TV star left the jungle after just three days claiming it was his decision to walk. But he's now revealed he was axed - and is full of regret over his actions. The 29-year-old has now told Closer Online he would "love" to get a second chance. Spencer said: "I was removed completely against my will and for that it’s annoying because I would loved to have done it. "It’s a bit of an ordeal now and a lot of people think I left on my own and that’s simply not true. I was fully taken out against my will."

Athletes rarely discuss their steroid routine because, well, they’re usually illegal, against the rules of their federation, or both. But now and then an athlete will, for whatever reason, openly discuss their clandestine performance-enhancing drug routine, and this week Larry “Wheels” Williams has posted his second ever video on the topic. The first time he publicly spoke about his steroid cycle he eventually took the video down from his YouTube channel, but he’s once again gone public. We’ve embedded the video below but note that the majority of it is spent discussing his childhood. After talking about his time in foster care he describes his time living in Saint Martin, where being a target of bullies led him to take up weight training to build confidence. Then he returned to the United States, picked up a recreational drug habit, and eventually the same friend who introduced him to drugs suggested he try anabolic steroids.

A man who made more than £200,000 from selling drugs fled to sun-soaked Bali rather than begin a two-and-a-half year jail sentence. Terence David Murrell had to be sentenced in his absence at Caernarfon crown court today, where the judge pointed out he was "living in the lap of luxury" abroad rather than turning up to face justice. Heavily-tattooed Murrell, who hit the headlines earlier this year when a mangled Google translation of a police wanted appeal described him as having 'potatoes on his chest', has been posting pictures from the Indian Ocean island for several weeks. He had pleaded guilty to possessing illegal drugs with intent to supply, and conspiracy to supply, when he appeared before a judge in March.

The man whom federal authorities have accused of mailing packages containing pipe bombs to critics of President Donald Trump was allegedly a steroid user who worked at nightclubs as a bouncer and strip dancer. Cesar Sayoc, 56, of Aventura, Florida, has been charged with five counts, including illegal mailing of explosives, after prominent Democrats, including former President Barack Obama, former Vice President Joe Biden and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, were sent crude pipe bombs in the mail. The bombs were mailed to states across the country, including New York, Delaware and California, as well as Washington, D.C., and targeted not only U.S. politicians but also billionaire George Soros and actor Robert De Niro, who has been an outspoken critic of the president.

YOU'd think big muscles and washboard abs are what to expect if your man is into body building... but there's a little know (and bizzare) side effect. Some men who use steroids to grow their guns may start to produce breast milk. Yes, you read that right, your man might start lactating. Now you're probably thinking that's impossible, after all men don't even have boobs. But it turns out you don't need boobs to produce milk, it's all down to the hormones. When a man uses steroids he is essentially injecting a synthetic version of the male sex hormone testosterone into his body.

Florida Keys deputies said they found grocery bags full of steroids, syringes and almost $1,000 in cash inside a man’s car that they checked after receiving a complaint about someone trespassing at a Key Largo campground early Friday morning. Victor Hugo Calderon, 54, was arrested on a felony drug possession with intent to sell charge and a misdemeanor count of giving a false identification to a law enforcement officer. Monroe County Sheriff’s deputies found him sleeping in his Chevrolet Malibu inside Key Largo Kampground and Marina, at mile marker 103.6, around 2 a.m. Deputy Joel Torres knocked on the car’s window to wake Calderon. He asked him for his driver’s license. Calderon said he did not have it on him and told Torres his name was Victor Hugo Alvaro.

A recent episode of news program Kveikur brought to light just how common steroid use is in Iceland, particularly among young men. Testosterone prescriptions have increased dramatically over the last decade, and are double the rate prescribed elsewhere in the Nordic region. Icelanders are also 50% more likely than individuals in other western nations to suffer from body dysmorphic disorder. Hafrún Kristjánsdóttir is a psychologist and sociologist, as well as former athlete, who researches the behaviour of young men and athletes. She says men get the message from a young age that it’s important to be big and strong. “You are a five-year-old boy and your heroes in life are Superman, Batman, and Hulk, and men like that, and they are all on steroids. If you look at them. They have a big six-pack and they are swollen. And it’s not uncommon to see little boys in playschool flex their muscles and when they draw themselves, they’re drawing a six pack.”

Illegal medicines worth €375,000 have been seized during an annual Garda and Customs operation this year. Almost 90,000 units of illegal prescription medicines, most of them sourced online, were seized during the operation, according to the State’s medicines watchdog. This is significantly down on the 200,000 units seized during the same operation last year, but up on the 60,000 detained in 2016, the Health Products Regulatory Authority (HPRA) said. The biggest seizures by volume were of anabolic steroids, which accounted for almost 30,000 units detained. Sedatives accounted for over 25,000 units in the haul, which was put on display in the HPRA’s headquarters in Dublin on Tuesday morning. Most of these drugs are imported by criminal gangs for resale on the street. The week-long Operation Pangea X, which is carried out with police and customs authorities across Europe each year, resulted in over 10.1 million illegal medicines and medical devices worth about $14 million (€12 million) being seized in the 61 countries involved.

Anthony Smith has made himself into a contender in the UFC's light heavyweight division on the heels of victories over former champions Mauricio "Shogun" Rua and Rashad Evans this year. Saturday, Smith takes on former title challenger Volkan Oezdemir. A winner of 30 pro fights, Smith has finished both Rua and Evans inside of the first round and in just over two minutes of total fight time. The bout with Oezdemir on Saturday airs live on FOX Sports 1 from the Avenir Centre in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada. Former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones believes that those doubting his skills and talents are sadly mistaken. Jones, who is set to return at the end of the year against Alexander Gustafsson, recently discussed his situation in an interview with the Jackson Wink MMA Academy.

If you are one of the fans of the bodybuilding field or you are really found by the Crossfit life then you probably hear the term Sarms. It is of the revolutionary term that can change your perspectives toward the fitness lifestyles. Accordingly, you will be able to change your habits easily when you use such chemical substance in your routine life. However, you have to be careful and real more and more about the product before using it. This is due to its dangerous effects in the human health and body.

Police in Paphos arrested a 46-year-old man early on Saturday in connection with possession of cocaine and steroids, as well as firecrackers. The man was arrested after a search of his residence between 2 am and 4 am during which officers found two small bottles containing what are believed to be steroids, €6,890 and £320 in cash, and 21 firecrackers. A search of the suspect’s two cars found 77 grammes of cocaine and a precision scale.

In the USADA ultimate fighting era, fight cancellations have become a somewhat regular occurrence. For many fans of cage fighting it has spoiled the fun of fighting as we can no longer get excited for match ups as it feels like they’re more likely going to be cancelled than actually happen. There’s so many variables to factor in when discussing why there has been such a sharp rise in pre-fight injuries that there’s less of a simple solution to be found but more of a diverse action required to fix multiple different issues within the sport of mixed martial arts. Many critics believe the biggest variable of pre-fight cancellations is that of a direct result of strict USADA testing which has stopped fighters from “Being able to juice.” Hence fighters being clean leads to a higher injury rate as their bodies are more physically fatigued & destroyed as they are without “Performance Enhancing Drugs”.

Officials at the South African Institute for Drug-Free Sports (SAIDS) expressed their concern about six players testing positive for using anabolic steroids to improve their performance at the 2018 Craven Week. The rugby festival traditionally serves as an important platform for young stars to get noticed by academies. SAIDS said it was alarmed and somewhat shocked by the overall high-rate of steroid use by schoolboy level rugby players and how tolerant coaches and even parents were about the use of banned performance enhancing-substances. SAIDS CEO Khalid Galant together with representatives from the SAIDS Board presented its 2017/18 annual report to Parliament’s standing committee for sport earlier this week. Briefly.co.za gathered that the report includes an overview of its legislative mandate and strategic objectives, organisational performance and accomplishments, and financials as audited by the Auditor-General SA. Sport24.co.za reported that Galant said the number of anti-doping rule violations (ADRVs) at school level was shocking. The organisation said it completed a total of 122 tests at this year’s Craven Week of which six tested positive. This compares to the following results for previous years three in 2014, five in 2015, four in 2016 and three in 2017.

York County, SC: A York County man whom police said was dealing pounds of marijuana is facing several other charges after officers found a variety of drugs including steroids, sex pills and weapons in a raid, police said. Bartholomew Richard Smith Jr., 24, is charged with trafficking ecstasy after drug agents on Wednesday found about 1,000 doses of the drug at a home on Dakota Trail, north of Clover near the North Carolina state line, said Marvin Brown, commander of the York County Multijurisdictional Drug Enforcement Unit. Drug agents then found several other drugs and five guns, including a rifle, and charged Smith with six other felonies, police reports and records show.

What's in your wallet? Perhaps less money if you have bought a lot of dietary supplements. But do you know what's in your dietary supplements? If you think only natural ingredients, take a look at a study just published in JAMA Network Open. For the study, a team (Jenna Tucker, MPH, Tessa Fischer, DVM, MPH, Laurence Upjohn, PharmD, David Mazzera, PhD, and Madhur Kumar, MS, PhD) from the Food and Drug Branch of the California Department of Public Health searched through the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA's) Tainted Supplements database entries from 2007 through 2016. They eventually came up with a total of 776 adulterated dietary supplements, all of which included unapproved drug ingredients. But if you have taken these supplements, you may not have even known what you were really putting in your mouth since 97.6% of these pharmaceutical ingredients were not even listed on the products' labels.

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - A KCSO deputy is being investigated after his estranged wife accused him of using steroids. According to court documents obtained by 23ABC, the property of a KCSO deputy was search after his estranged wife accused him of possessing and using anabolic steroids. The wife said that she had proof via a picture that reportedly showed 3 vials of steroids next to his KCSO badge. She also said that she has witnessed him using the drugs. According to the wife, the deputy had gained a lot of muscle mass over the past few months. She also said that he has started breaking out in face and body acne and became moody, which are unusual for him.

Yeah, you read that right. This notion of eating a ridiculous amount of eggs for better bodybuilding results comes from a recent-ish video who credits Vince Gironda as the source of this crazy nutrition and the claim that it’s better than steroids. I was a bit skeptical as to what degree is this an accurate quote. Did the late Vince Gironda really say that? Well, turns out he did…kinda. He stated that when it comes down to nutrition bodybuilders should consume up to 36 fertilized eggs per day and he compared its effect as to taking a cycle of Dianabol. My knowledge about the famous Vince Giroda before writing this was none existent. I had no clue who the guy was or what he did. However, I do think I can go out on a limb and assume that this was an exaggeration, at least to some degree. I seriously doubt that he was literal when comparing anabolic steroids to eating eggs. Now for the other part of this story, eating up to three and a half cartons worth of eggs. Eggs are an awesome source of nutrients.

A Dublin body builder has been spared jail and a criminal record for supply of “a toxic brew of medications”. Hans Vogel, of Cameron Court, Cork Street, pleaded guilty to eight charges following a seizure of steroids at his home. Dublin district court was told that the raid followed an investigation by the Health Products Regulatory Authority (HPRA), which had him on its “radar”. At a previous hearing Judge John Brennan told Vogel, a father of three, that he would give him a chance and ordered him to pay €1,000 in prosecution expenses. He said yesterday that the money had been paid and spared Vogel a conviction and sentence.

HEALTH chiefs have issued an urgent warning about the dangers of anabolic steroid use today. The Health Products Regulatory Authority (HPRA) this morning launched their ‘Zero Gains’ campaign aimed to inform young Irish men of the serious health complications posed by the products. The HPRA have advised that people should not use anabolic steroids unless prescribed for them by a doctor as misuse of these products can cause serious physical and psychological health issues. The potential physical effects include heart failure, liver issues, kidney damage, and infertility as well as acne and hair loss. The psychological and emotional impacts include mood swings and aggression or ‘roid rage’ leading to possible depression. According to the HPRA, one in ten adults would consider taking anabolic steroids with that stat rising to one in five between those aged between 18 and 34.

An Instagram bikini model will stand trial in Melbourne over allegations she was part of a steroid trafficking ring between the Ukraine, China and Australia. Raquel Yasmine Petit, 25, is facing 47 charges including trafficking a commercial quantity of steroids, possessing $46,920 suspected of being proceeds of crime, and making and using false documents.

The amount of illegal medicines seized by authorities increased by over 40 per cent in 2017, largely due to a massive rise in the number of steroids being imported into the country (Ireland). The Health Products Regulatory Authority (HPRA), which is responsible for enforcing laws and regulations relating to medicinal products, detained some 950,000 doses of counterfeit or illegal substances last year compared to 670,000 doses in 2016. Anabolic steroids, which are used to increase muscle mass, made up just under half of the seized medicines which were uncovered through both “ongoing surveillance and targeted intelligence-based operations”, the HPRA said in its annual report. It seized 450,000 doses of anabolic steroids in 2017, compared to just 109,000 in 2016. Illegally-sourced sedatives made up 23 per cent of the total seizures, while illegal erectile dysfunction drugs made up 13 per cent.

A Clemson University researcher recently published insights into homemade steroids and steroid trafficking through a study of federal court cases. The research details why homemade steroids became popular and how online tools and cryptocurrency have allowed for their rapid spread. Bryan Denham, Campbell Professor of Sports Communication in Clemson's communication department, recently published the research in Contemporary Drug Problems. Considering the impact of these homemade drugs has been felt nationwide, Denham said it is imperative that athletes at all levels in every sport realize what they can easily get online may still be putting their athletics careers—and their lives—in jeopardy.

A Bossier Parish School Board member and two others have been indicted on federal charges related to the unlawful distribution of anabolic steroids. Michael Mosura, the District 5 representative on the Bossier school board, was charged with one count of conspiracy related to the distribution of anabolic steroids from Jan. 1, 2016, through May 22, 2018. Two others, Brant L. Landry and Julie Landry, were also indicted on conspiracy and additional charges. Brant Landry faces charges of possession with intent to distribute anabolic steroids, the manufacturing of anabolic steroids and the possession of a firearm in relation to a drug trafficking offense, according to the indictment.

A weightlifter who took steroids repeatedly used “callous” violence towards two girlfriends – pulling their hair, spitting at them and strangling them until they lost consciousness. Garth Rees made one of the women believe he was going to kill her by holding her head towards a lit hob after telling her she was weak and slapping her. Sentencing him at Cardiff Crown Court , Judge Jeremy Jenkins said: “Your behaviour demonstrates that you are a man of ungovernable temper – a bully who picks on people physically weaker than yourself.” The court heard he met Bethan Thomas-Rowlands on Tinder in July last year. Janine Davies, prosecuting, said she initially found him “caring and friendly” but he became aggressive following an argument later that year. Prosecutors said Rees turned “threatening and violent” after they moved in together in December, telling Ms Thomas-Rowlands: “Look at the size of you. If I wanted to kill you or hurt you I would.” The court heard he made derogatory comments and called her a “slut”. Three months later she described him pulling her off a bed by her ankles, pulling her hair, spitting at her, and strangling her.

URCC Featherweight champion Do Gyeom Lee and top contender Mark “Mugen” Striegl engaged in a heated confrontation after the former accused the later of taking performance-enhancing drugs ahead of their main event title bout on Saturday, at the Smart-Araneta Coliseum, in Cubao, Quezon City. “I really wanted to bring this up,” Lee said through a translator at the URCC Global: Colossal press conference in Annabel’s Tomas Morato. “I heard rumors saying that Mark “Mugen” Striegl is on steroids and I said earlier that I’m a sportsman so I’m asking Mark if he’s willing to shake hands after the fight and take the blood or whatever test for steroids.” The challenger seemed insulted by the South Korean’s allegation but he agreed to take a post-fight drug test anyway.

A fitness fanatic who spent £36,000 on his steroid addiction still believes he's too 'skinny' due to body dysmorphia. Jamie Diggory's habit is so severe that he confessed he would put it before his job, partner and even his children. But now he's bravely speaking out in a bid to help other people. The 35-year-old's obsession with his body began after he threw himself into fitness following a break up eight years ago. Since then he has been forking out a £600 a month on anabolic steroids, but claims that he is incapable at looking at his body without thinking he's 'fat' or 'too skinny'.

A drug shipment from China gets intercepted by local police thanks to a tip from homeland security. The Pea Ridge Police Department arrested Travis McDaniel who had a package of illegal steroids in his house, his plan wasn't to sell them in Northwest Arkansas, but to ship them to other parts of the country.

KARACHI: Pakistanis have ‘very soft bones’ due to excessive use of steroids, lack of exercise and poor dietary habits, which is resulting in the destruction of their joints at an early age as compared to Americans or people living in other parts of the developed world, visiting orthopedic specialists from US hospitals told The News. “Bones of Pakistani people are very soft as compared to people in the United States and other developed countries and the main reason we have identified is the excessive use of steroids in Pakistan, lack of exercise and poor nutrition,” said Dr Junaid Makda from Advocate Condell Hospital, Chicago, who is heading a six-member team that is performing 65 hip and knee replacement surgeries at Indus Hospital Karachi. The six-member team comprises three orthopedic specialists, a physician assistant, a physiotherapist and a manager and they are from different US hospitals who have come to Indus Hospital for the second time to perform marathon surgeries and procedures to replace hips and knee joints of Pakistani patients whose bones and joints had decayed.

The culture of substance abuse in U.S. colleges extends beyond drugs like marijuana or heroin and the use of anabolic steroids has become increasingly common. According to a study conducted by the University of Maryland College Park, anabolic steroids are substances chemically related to testosterone, a male hormone that helps muscle growth. There are over 100 different types of anabolic steroids, but only a few have been approved for human use. Some examples of steroids include testosterone, androstenedione, stanozolol, nandrolone and methandrostenolone. There are three common ways people take anabolic steroids. The first is called cycling, which involves using a steroid for a period of time, stopping to rest and then beginning again. Stacking is when multiple steroids are used simultaneously. Pyramiding consists of using one or more steroids at a low dosage then gradually increasing the amount used.

INCREASED NUMBERS OF steroid-users are seeking out needle exchange services in Limerick, according to an addiction service which offers outreach support in the city and surrounding counties. The increase observed by Ana Liffey Drug Project Mid-West reflects a nationwide trend. A number of indicators point toward a rise in unregulated use of anabolic steroids across Ireland in recent years. “We’re definitely seeing more people – whether that’s because of better education and better engagement because of that, or whether it’s an increase in people using steroids I’m not sure,” Rachel O’Donoghue, team leader of ALDP Mid-West, said. The organisation, which has operated in Dublin since the early 80s, set up in Limerick six years ago. And while there had been a handful of steroid users who sought out the service for clean injecting equipment, there’s been a steep rise in demand over the last two to three years – particularly from a younger age group.

When it comes to schoolboy sport, clinical psychologist Dr Eddie Murphy has met two types of parent: The ones whose son is sport- obsessed but he’s not going to make it— it’s too competitive. They ask Murphy if he can pull their boy back, get him to have a broader life perspective. And then there are other parents — who want to hire a sports psychologist for their “mad into the game” son, much as they’d get him a grind in maths. “They want to give him a mental health edge, a sporting edge,” says Murphy.

Run-ins in the political world sound way worst than the pro wrestling world. Scheduled to be sworn as Knox County Mayor this Friday, Kane (real name Glenn Jacobs) is now having to address steroids accusations levied at him by a Pennsylvania man. From a report this week by the Knoxville News Sentinel, the founder of Protect Our Youth from Steroids (POYS) Al Thompson wrote a letter to the Tennessee Attorney General and the Tennessee Bureau of Ethics and Finance then distributed it to local media regarding Kane.

The recognition of this fact creates distrust between athletes and doctors, which results in a pandora’s box-like situation. Living life, and a majority of it in weight training, trenches and dungeons like gyms, the subject of substance abuse or steroids, supplements and other performance-enhancing substances, is not something which I am naive to. Use of anabolic steroids and supplements are widespread. It was once confined to a group of highly competitive athletes but, unfortunately, it has slowly made its way into the lives of common people who have started using it to enhance their cosmetic appeal. The medical community, earlier, paid no heed to the recognition of these drugs coupled with intense exercise made one realise increased muscle size.

UFC heavyweight contender Derrick Lewis has been bothered by a nagging back injury for awhile now. It was the injury that forced him out of his scheduled UFC 216 fight against Fabricio Werdum in 2017, which he admitted left him “crying like a big-ass baby.” On Monday’s episode of The MMA Hour, “The Black Beast” went on to reveal that his recurring back issue has been solved by the new medication that was given to him. “Right now it’s going pretty good,” Lewis told Luke Thomas (via MMA Fighting). “The shots that I took, they said it should last like 10 to 12 months.” “It wasn’t stem cells or nothing like that. It was something — they shot me like 20 times in one spot, it was some type of steroids.”

A MUM-of-two was left looking like an “acid attack” victim after suffering agonising steroid cream withdrawals when she ditched her psoriasis treatment. Katy Jackson’s skin was angry, red and raw for four years after she stopped using steroid creams to treat her flaky skin condition.The 44-year-old was prescribed steroid creams to treat her psoriasis, a condition that causes a build-up of dry skin, 25 years ago. She applied creams sporadically in “small dabs” until 2014, when stress caused by her father needing a triple heart bypass caused a flare-up of her condition. Katy used the creams every day for three months but when she tried to stop her psoriasis would return twice as bad. She decided to go “cold turkey” after recognising her skin had become addicted to the treatment.

The demand within the global market for steroid injection has gained momentum on account of the heavy incidence of chronic diseases whose treatment involves the use of steroids. Some of the common diseases and disorders that are treated or controlled by injecting steroids in the body are arthritis, inflammatory bowel diseases, joint paint, and sciatica. The main components of a steroid injection are numbing medicines and cortisone, and the mix of these components results in the formation of artificial hormones that are originally produced by the adrenal glands.

An Asbury Park doctor who indiscriminately prescribed steroids to undercover investigators posing as bodybuilders can no longer practice medicine in New Jersey. Kevin Custis agreed to surrender his license to practice medicine and surgery, the state Attorney General's office said. "Physicians who indiscriminately prescribe dangerous drugs for profit are no better than street-corner drug dealers, and we will do everything we can to protect our communities from such danger," Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal said in a statement. Custis was one of several New Jersey doctors whose licenses were revoked by the state for prescribing drugs that, authorities said, could have endangered their patients' lives.

ONE of the most striking aspects I’ve noticed about working with teenagers in schools over the last 18 years is the sheer level of determination and commitment to self-improvement. When I was growing up as a teenager in the ’90s I never heard of abs or obliques. I never had a conversation about macros and micros. Intermittent fasting was what we did between meals, it certainly wasn’t by design.

Gyms across East Yorkshire have become "flooded" with anabolic steroids, as rising numbers of young men risk serious harm in the pursuit of a 'perfect' body, it is claimed.
