The Pittsylvania County Sheriff’s Department arrested the owner of a business that allegedly produced anabolic steroids. Steven Wood has been charged with two counts related to the distribution of anabolic steroids and five counts of money laundering. The name of the business involved has not been publicly disclosed. However, it appears that Wood was operating a sizable steroid enterprise given the amount of cash involved, the number of employees working for him and the quantity of raw steroid powder seized.

Law enforcement authorities and local media have characterized this “bust” as a major clandestine steroid operation. However, it may actually be a case involving a supplement company selling prohormones and other steroidal ingredients that may be prohibited under current law. [Read more…]

The family of Roger Maris wants Major League Baseball to acknowledge the influence that the use of anabolic steroids has had on current records.

Barry Bonds currently holds the single-season home run record. Bonds, McGwire and Sosa have all since been linked to steroids and have become poster boys of baseball’s so-called “steroid era”.

Arctic ground squirrels are clearly the “studs” of the squirrel world. They have testosterone levels that are up to two hundred times greater than other species of squirrel.

Unlike other hibernators who use stored bodyfat as fuel during hibernation, these squirrels rely on store muscle mass to provide fuel during this period. This is due to the extreme Arctic cold that prevents the squirrels from burrowing below the permafrost meaning that they spend much of their time at temperatures as low as -23° C. [Read more…]
