Millions of tax dollars wated on roids bust. Give me a break. More people a year die of asprin overdose than roids do in 10 years. Look up the sicence.

If they want to stop drug use bust the coke dealers, methlabs etc

if they want to stop the deaths of millions a year shut down budwiser and teenage girls using cell phones.

Our goverment has it wrong as per the norm.

[bam bam]

agreed. look at the facts. and we all know that those vials will be back on the market and a higher value..they'll just re sell it to make more money to bust again.

what abou tall the meth labs and crack houses. Wasting money on the roids. Clean up or streets by stopping narcotics.

Again missing the mark, gotta love the US of A.

[DRE]

It is leagal in certain situations. The fact the taxes are neglected is what hurts their feelings.

Need more money to kill people over seas. Tax em all!!!!!

oil in return for over-taxing all meds...

The DEA needs to get a life Steroids are not bad. Bad people use them sometimes just like alcohol.

Such a great statement. The whole investigation is ludacris. Let people do what they want to their own bodies. Whatever happened to freedom.

I was busted in wichita falls ,texas about six months back. I had 3 jobs which I lost 2 of, 2 children were taken from me for about 3 days, and I have spent thousands on a lawyer. If I had known my kids would have suffered in the least it never would have happened. I dont use recreational drugs at all and believe they should be illegal but steroids hurt nobody. the put a article in a national magazine about us and the papers and media called us the internationl kingpin. do a search and see what comes up. Oh and did I mention I searved 8 years in the army and now they are taking my right to vote over steroids. Cant catch terrorist or child rapist so spend the tax money to stop fitness. Sorry to rant but stuff like this does not help my case

What a total waste of our tax money. The people need to take this country back. The goverment likes to punish people who are trying to better themselves. I guess they would rather have us in the bars than in the Gyms.

How GLAD I am to hear you all say this!!!! I agree totally of course. It is a waste of money. And it's ruining the lives of the people who were arrested AND THEIR FAMILIES. For nothing. I hope the backlash of this investigation and the money that was wasted on it is bigger than the "bust" itself and that the people affected by the arrests end up going free. Or maybe with just a slap on the wrist.

I think there is an overall trend in all of the blogs regarding the benign nature of this drug....by the way it's also ILLEGAL. The absurd thing is, is that everyone thinks you need them to be a better athlete or stronger....blah blah blah....quit your yappin. It's called working out for a reason, and if you do not have the genetics for the super macho body builder type, it is never going to work anyway. Oh sure you will be stronger, and you will buff up, but in the end the average shmoe that takes this stuff is never going to make it to any big sports. If you want to make yourself better...work for it...and stop blaming the "man" for bringing you down. If you do the crime, you do the time....remember that whole ILLEGAL thing? And if your going to bitch about them not taking down any other drugs or dealers...do a couple of ride alongs with a cop, maybe you will see a whole new world. So quit trying to justify why these roids are so harmless, you sound like drug addicts who say the same thing....and sister....we as a nation have gotten away with too many hand slaps.

[you know who]

well seabass, even if you are a cop I would be willing to bet my house you have gotten away with crime before. Drinking and driving,adultry,not going back when someone did'nt charge you enough at the store- who sais what a crime is anyways?

[seabass]

The law states what a crime is, look it up, good reading material. I am not a cop, but it is funny that everyone bitches about them not doing the right thing, when they get busted for a crime.(they should be going after crack houses, meth labs blah blah) they are going after illegal drugs...period. "He who is without sin, can cast the first stone" If I were perfect, my name would have been Jesus, and if you want to get down to the nitty gritty, even speeding is breaking the law....so yes there are many things in which I have broken the law on. Some I have gotten caught on, others I have not. But upon being caught, I never blamed my actions on someone else, or some powerful OZ, that's called integrity...another good thing to look up. If you want my personal bio on how many homeless people I have helped, and good things I have done in my life I'll post it for you next time, as well as the bad. But the one thing you will never hear me say, is that it was someone else's fault, or "man that cop should not have pulled me over for DUI, he should have doing something else" maybe he saved me from myself, or from hurting an innocent, but he was doing his job.
