Amerikaanse overheid sleept bodybuildingelite voor de rechter


President Bush heeft het al aangekondigd in zijn State of The Union. War on steroids. En je kunt zeggen van Bush wat je wilt, maar als Bush zegt: war, dan bedoelt hij ook war. Er druppelen berichten binnen acties van de DEA op The Arnold.


GetBig heeft vanochtend gemeld dat de DEA minstens dertig topbodybuilders heeft bevolen te verschijnen voor een grand jury die op 24-3-2004 . in Des Moines, Iowa bijeen zal komen. De jury zal de anabolenhandel in de bodybuilding onderzoeken.


Ron Avidan heeft op The Arnold opgevangen dat de DEA in ieder geval een inval heeft gedaan op de kamer van Mustafa Mohammed en daarbij zijn room mate heeft gearresteerd.


Op The Arnold liep ook Victor Conte rond [ErGs] die van de rechter 'vrij' had gekregen zodat hij zijn supplement ZMA kon promoten. En schaduwende agenten zijn netwerk beter in kaart konden brengen, suggereren de ontwikkelingen.



ESPN's dopingjournalist Shaun Assael, die door Avidan trouwens our bodybuilding hating reporter wordt genoemd (da's een compliment, Shaun), had de primeur. Assael spreekt met bodybuildingadvocaat Rick Collins, die de IFBB in anabolenzaken adviseert, en weet te vertellen dat mogelijk ook Milos Sarcev voor de nieuwe jury moet verschijnen en spreekt van 'een heksenjacht'


In december vielen agenten van de DEA binnen in Sarcevs woning en sloegen hem voor zijn familie in de boeien. Sarcevs computer en verschillende andere dingen verdwenen in de vrachtwagens van de DEA. Dat was nadat Sarcev aan journalisten had verteld hoe hij had samengewerkt met Conte en voor hem trainingsschema's had gemaakt - die, zo bleek achetraf, waren gebruikt door THG-gebruikers. [ErGs]


,,Sarcev is geen anabolendealer'', houdt Collins vol. ,,Er zijn bij hem geen anabolen gevonden.''


Ik hoop dat ze ze allemaal vertellen dat ze nooit meer mogen gebruiken, dan krijg je misschien nog echte bb wedstrijden waarbijn het niet gaat om wie het meeste gebruikt maar om wie het meeste weet en hoe ze het moeten toepassen.
 
Dat klinkt niet best.

Hopen dat Bush geen 2e ambtstermijn krijgt. Dit zal niet gebeuren tenzij hij OBL zo vlak voor de verkiezingen weet te grijpen cq. uit de ijskast haalt. :mad:
 
Gebruikt wordt er toch. Zoals het hier staat is trouwens wat overdreven. Wat ik begrepen heb van hoe Chad en consorten het zeiden is dat er inderdaad een aantal mensen zich moeten melden bij de politie. Er zijn geen arrestaties verricht wat er dus op duidt dat er dus geen direct bewijs is gevonden, anders waren een aantal wel opgepakt. Het komt er bij Bush op neer dat niet cocaine, heroine en crack de jeugd om zeep helpen, maar steroiden. Nogal kort door de bocht dacht ik zo.. Gevolg zou kunnen zijn dat straks alle grote westrijden in het buitenland gehouden worden en dat sommige athleten hun amerikaanse nationaliteit inruilen voor een andere zodat zij onder andere wetgeving vallen..

Overigens klopt de titel niet, aangezien Ronnie niet opgeroepen is om zich te melden. Naar mijn weten van het deelnemersveld van de AC geen enkele builder, enkel toeschouwers, trainers, enz.
 
The federal government's ongoing investigation into steroids has broadened to include a bodybuilder who designed workouts for clients of BALCO, the sports supplement laboratory that allegedly funneled a designer steroid to prominent athletes.

It also touched California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger last weekend, as federal agents descended on The Arnold, the bodybuilding convention he co-owns, to serve subpoenas in connection with the expanding probe.

In December, agents from the federal Drug Enforcement Administration raided the Fullerton, Calif., home of bodybuilding champion Milos Sarcev, a former Mr. Yugoslavia, confiscating his computer among other things. Sarcev had designed workouts for many of the clients of Victor Conte, who has been indicted by a federal grand jury on steroid distribution and money laundering charges in connection with his San Francisco-based BALCO lab. Sarcev personally trained BALCO client Tim Montgomery before the sprinter set the world record in the 100 meters in September 2002.

A second federal grand jury has been convened in Des Moines, Iowa, to look into the illegal distribution of steroids, ESPN has learned. Sarcev's attorney, Rick Collins, said he was aware of the grand jury and that "it is possible" his client is a target. "Whether the grand jury is looking at a particular individual or many is anyone's guess."

Collins, who also serves as counsel to the International Federation of BodyBuilders, maintains that Sarcev "is not a steroid dealer, and never has been. Not one steroid was found there. Zero. Zip. This is a witch hunt," he said. "There are too many corporate dollars in baseball, football and the Olympics, so it's not surprising that their focus is to scapegoat a fringe sport."

In an interview with the San Jose Mercury News last October, Sarcev talked about his work with Montgomery: "Victor asked me to come to Burlingame and help Tim with his strength training. So I prepared a program for Tim. He accepted it and he improved dramatically. Tim was very grateful for my work."

Efforts to reach Montgomery's agent, Charlie Wells, were unsuccessful.

The grand jury subpoenas were served last week in the Greater Columbus Convention Center. The subpoenas require the recipients to testify later this month, Collins said. The attorney said he believes at least five bodybuilders received subpoenaes.

Al Overbaugh, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Des Moines, refused to confirm that his office had convened a grand jury investigation into the world of bodybuilding. Rusty Payne, a spokesman for the DEA, refused comment.

The Arnold, a three-day supplement convention that also includes bodybuilding shows, was first held in Columbus in 1989 and now draws 600 exhibitors, 80,000 ticket buyers and 11,000 athletes.

In a speech at the convention that was met with a standing ovation on Sunday, Schwarzenegger told attendees that he believes the Food and Drug Administration should not regulate dietary supplements because "I have very rarely seen the government do anything that was effective."

A spokesman for the governor, Lee Thomas, said, "The governor's press office will have no comment because it was not a government event." She directed questions to Jim Lorimer, Schwarzenegger's partner in Classic Productions, who did not return a phone message left at his office.

It is unclear if the agents were present at the same time as the governor. But their presence did overlap with Conte's, who was there to pitch ZMA, his mineral supplement. Montgomery and Marion Jones, both Olympic medal winners, were among those athletes who testified before the grand jury that ultimately indicted Conte.

Conte's indictment has sent shock waves through Major League Baseball, where seven players who testified before the grand jury, including Barry Bonds and Jason Giambi, have had the results of drug tests that they took last spring subpoenaed. Bonds' personal trainer, Greg Anderson, was among four people indicted in the BALCO case. All have pleaded not guilty.

The furor over steroid use in sports also led to the Senate Commerce Committee to call baseball commissioner Bud Selig and players union chief Donald Fehr, as well as their NFL counterparts, Paul Tagliabue and Gene Upshaw, to

Numerous events took place over the last weekend - but the most talked about was the presence of the DEA throughout the Arnold Classic Expo and the shows that took place. I had heard that 3-4 agents would be in attendance observing and taking in the "goings on" of the weekend, as well as speaking with several informants who were to be in Columbus that weekend.

What I was not aware of was the fact that 70 subpoenas would be handed out to numerous athletes - male and female body builders - strongman and powerlifting athletes - all competing that weekend - as well as numerous athletes just attending the event.

Apparently the subpoenas started either late Thursday or early Friday before the shows. Many athletes admitted to receiving subpoenas, but just as many denied receiving them. These subpoenas supposedly are for the athletes to go in front of a grand jury in Des Moines, Iowa. Everyone was asking "why Des Moines" - this is apparently the location of the main office where the "lead" investigator is based. The subpoenas supposedly are stemming from a three year investigation.

Now, most of the athletes aren't in any real trouble as the agents are just looking for information. I think they are just wanting to speak with a lot of the athletes finding out certain details of events happening within the industry.

On Saturday night, upon returning from the men's finals, there were three to four Columbus police vehicles parked in front of the DoubleTree Hotel; one being a K-9 Unit and obviously there to help the DEA with the subpoenas. I went up to my floor and when I stepped out of the elevator there were about 5-6 uniformed officers and 3-4 DEA agents, and one K-9 officer and his dog a couple doors down from my room.

The athlete's room they were in front of was Mustafa Mohammed's - I guess he was probably one of the last to receive a subpoena. They were pretty determined as they probably waited about 2 1/2 hours outside of his room for his return.

Now, I think we can all figure out what type of information they are wanting. I think we can figure out there's a certain pro in California that is in trouble and they are obvioulsy wanting more info on this person to build a case against him. There appears to be 2-3 other individuals tied in with him that they are probably looking for information on as well. This is all easy to figure out.

The question I have is, how will the events that took place over the weekend effect the Arnold Classic Weekend for 2005? Are the athletes going to remember this and want to participate and go back again? Will they feel maybe Arnold's new status as Governor has brought some of this on? Especially maybe some of the foreign athletes - with certain things being legal in their country - why take the risk coming here when they are perfectly safe in their homelands? Remember - this happening wasn't limited to only body building - it included the strongmen and powerlifters - it could have a tremendous impact on the show for next year. Maybe this was the message the DEA was trying to send - if so, mission accomplished. It will be interesting to see what happens at future events and how this whole story unravels.
 
een woord bush is een vieze gore kootzak.
 
laat die lul van een bush zich maar bezighouden met de zwaarleivigheid in het land van de welvarende hamburgercultuur!!!!
dat is pas slecht hoe die volgevreten varkens van min. 300 pond die daar rondlopen!!!
 
Wat is een kootzak :cool: Maar je hebt gelijk, op elk vlak. Hij biedt steeds voorstellen aan die goed overkomen bij 'regular Joe', maar werkt nooit met langetermijnvisies.
 
maar als wij geen bb-ers waren hadden we het volkomen normaal gevonden :)
 
boogie zei:

Got a point.
Aan de andere kant is er nog niets geweest van meneer Bush wat ik als 'volkomen normaal' zou willen bestempelen. :rolleyes:
 
Als je ook naar zijn toespraken luistert (zover dat vol te houden is :D ) en kijkt, heb ik altijd op een of andere manier het idee dat ie je in de zeik staat te nemen. De manier hoe hij praat en hoe zijn lichaamstaal spreekt klopt niet met elkaar.
 
Hij heeft veel weg van een "Muppet"
