Charlie Sheen Disrupts the Steroid World!
An online supplier of anabolic steroids confirmed that Charlie Sheen was responsible for disrupting their business. Sheen’s revelation that he had “tiger blood” coursing through his veins set the internet abuzz with hundreds of thousands of people going to search engines trying to find out more information about “tiger blood”. Charlie Sheen’s tiger blood diatribes resulted in significant publicity for the manufacturer and distributors of Tiger Blood brand anabolic steroids. Esquire was even kind enough to provide a direct link to the Tiger Blood Pharmaceuticals website. Tiger Blood makes steroids such as Sustblood, Decablood, Testblood, Boldablood, Stanblood, Trenblood and Mastblood.
A top distributor of Tiger Blood described how the publicity disrupted their business recently on a popular bodybuilding forum. The distributor also reported that the TigerBlood.com website crashed a few times as a result of all the additional Sheen-related traffic. Apparently, the manufacturer of Tiger Blood steroids received several offers to purchase their domain name TigerBlood.com and mainstream media outlets even wanted to interview them about “Tiger Blood”.

Steroids for Sale on Facebook?
Many steroid dealers have tried to use social media such as Facebook to increase sales of anabolic steroids. Sky News decided to single out one British bodybuilder who they claim sells anabolic steroids on Facebook. They provided screenshots of his Facebook status indicating the he is promoting the sale of items such as “Human growth hormone £150” and “Melantan 2 tanning injections £25”. The problem with the story “Raoul Moat Gym Pal ‘Sells Steroids Online‘” is that it is inaccurate and misleading. The “investigative team” at Sky News does not seem to realize that human growth hormone (hGH) or melanotan-2 are not anabolic steroids. [Read more…]

Steroid Distributor Sentenced to Ten Years in Prison
Wood County Judge Alan Mayberry sentenced Greg Kreuz, the operator of an unidentified underground steroid lab (UGL), to ten years in prison citing the failure of previous court sanctions to rehabilitate the steroid dealer. Kreuz was previously convicted in 2005 on similar charges in Fulton County (Ohio). Judge Mayberry showed no leniency during sentencing. The judge found Kreuz’ 2005 statement about the preciousness of his children and his desire to be there for them disingenuous suggesting dealing steroids made Kreuz a poor father to his five children under the age of seven.

Steroids For Sale on Amazon.com
Illegal anabolic steroids are for sale on Amazon.com according to Don Catlin of Anti-Doping Research Inc. Amazon.com does not actually sell any of the dietary supplements which allegedly contain anabolic steroids. Rather, merchants participating in the “Amazon Seller” program offer steroids for sale. This is clearly done in violation of Amazon.com’s terms of service.
Amazon.com most likely has not knowingly offered steroids for sale via Amazon Sellers since the steroid products are sold and marketed as “dietary supplements”. Amazon did not ship products for most vendors; it was only responsible for product fulfilment by one vendor offering steroids for sale. [Read more…]
