Dietary supplements companies often market synthetic steroids as dietary supplements. So, they sell these illegal products. They trick the Drug Enforcement Administration and customers who acquire such remedies. As a result, several sportspersons test positive for forbidden substances while they affirm that they have never applied any steroid or another forbidden drug. Dietary supplements companies must be punished for such situations.
For example, Myogenix is a dietary supplement company that is located in California. This company acknowledged that they sold a synthetic steroid which was marketed as a nutrition supplement. It was called 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.
The company Myogenix admitted that they had sold Spawn since 2007 till 2009. Myogenix was enforced to pay a $500.000 fine. Furthermore, the company forfeited $100.000 immediately.
According to the decision of the judge, products manufactured and sold by the company Myogenix will be tested for five years by an independent organization. All new dietary supplements should be controlled carefully and approved by the FDA before the company may sell them.
In fact, the company Myogenix should thank the lawyer Rick Collins that has defended the company. He defended the owners and other stuff of the company effectively. No one went to jail. 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 forfeitures.
