I think what timnmb2 is referring to is selling/giving this stuff to people and purporting that it’s something else. Don’t know if that’s what is meant by the article, but I would see it as a problem if someone is buying gear thinking they’re getting one thing, when in reality it’s something else entirely. It may all be “illegal”, but misleading someone about what they are putting in their body is dangerous.
My question would be if this guy is selling Bovine roids or watered down stuff and passing them off as legit, or, if they just mis-labeled them to throw off the FED’s. You know, labeled cough suryp (example only guys, calm down), so you could keep it in your medicine cabinet.
He made a mistake and is going to pay for it. I wonder why in the world he chose to make/sell a designer steroid(s) to Conte when he was making a KILLING from 1AD and other PHs his ergopharm company was selling.
If this wouldn’t have happened (PA selling to Conte and then the track athletes/MLB/NFL guys using the clear/cream) prohormones might not have recieved all the negative press that led to the Jan 19th ban. We’d still have access to 1T/4ad/MOHN/etc. and probably numerous others (not that there isn’t a 2nd generation of designer roids sold under the guise of “pheremones” and the like such as Pheraplex, MTRN, halodrol50, etc. but those have now been discontinued).
Dumb move by PA. His ego must’ve got the better of him and now he is going down for it. I’ve got a feeling they’re going to make an example of him…Conte and the rest got off EASY. I fear Patrick won’t.
