Feds use Wikipedia, when they sentence steroid users to imprisonment

Federal prosecutors don’t possess sufficient knowledge about anabolic steroids, however they pursue those that manufacture, apply and/or distribute these medicines. They don’t read scientific literature about these preparations. The government uses information that is presented in Wikipedia. Although feds speak about unwanted consequences of steroids, they don’t know about these aspects sufficiently. Citing statements about steroids presented in Wikipedia, they punish users/manufacturers/distributors of these products, claiming that these products represent evil.
Certain important questions appear here: Is it correct to base upon affirmations written in Wikipedia in such cases? Are these statements true? Aren’t they exposed to manipulations? Aren’t they mixed with individual opinions of contributors?
Maurice Hall, the associate professor of communication and culture at Villanova University, confirms that it is not reasonable to base entirely upon statements presented in Wikipedia. He says that Wikipedia serves a good guide for footnotes. But statements presented in Wikipedia may be not true wholly.
For example, when John Isaac Hudelson was sentenced to jail, feds based their conclusions linked with illegal operations of this person upon statements cited from Wikipedia. Feds claimed that Hudelson would be sentenced 47-54 months in prison because he took and distributed steroids. Stephen Greubel, the defense attorney for Hudelson, argued that 47-54 months in jail were too much for his client. He confirmed that Hudelson distributed steroids, medicines that differed from such drugs, as amphetamine, methamphetamine, codeine, morphine, etc. The defense attorney noted that steroids didn’t lead to addiction.
Federal prosecutors claimed that John Isaac Hudelson manufactured, used and distributed steroids to his friends. They confirmed that while steroids didn’t cause addiction, muscularity could be addictive. Moreover, they added that steroids could lead to grave adverse effects. All affirmations of federal prosecutors were based upon those written in Wikipedia.
Finally, the government sent Isaac John Hudelson to 37 months in prison.
