Dietary supplements companies frequently label synthetic steroids as nutrition supplements. Thus, they sell these illegal medicines. They mislead the Drug Enforcement Administration and customers who purchase such remedies. As a result, some sportspersons test positive for banned substances while they affirm that they have never applied any steroid or another prohibited medicine. Dietary supplements companies must be demonized for such situations.
For example, Myogenix is a dietary supplement company which is in California. This company admitted that they sold a synthetic steroid which was labeled as a nutrition supplement. It was called Spawn. The following substances composed it: 19-Norandrosta-4,9 diene-3,17 dione and 2a,3a-epithio-17a-methyletioallocholanol. So, the supplement Spawn consisted of two steroids but it was labeled as a dietary supplement.
Myogenix acknowledged that they had sold Spawn between 2007 and 2009. The company was sentenced to pay a fine of $500.000. Moreover, the company forfeited $100.000 immediately.
According to the decision of the court, products produced and sold by this company will be tested for five years by an independent organization. All new dietary supplements should be controlled carefully and approved by the FDA before Myogenix will be allowed to sell them.
In fact, the company Myogenix should thank the defense attorney Rick Collins that has defended the company. He defended the owners and other stuff of the company efficiently. Nobody was sentenced to prison. This lawyer was hired to defend also other companies that were linked to the site Bodybuilding.com. These companies also were sentenced only to fines and money forfeitures.
