weird name for a bust...
Operation Pharmacia de Juicy Phruit: Houston, Texas, steroid bust - 53 charged locally, 22 federal indictments -
In the second largest steroid bust in United States history, a multi-jurisdictional task force including members of the IRS, DEA, and FDA made 53 arrests ending this morning at 4.30 AM. According to DEA spokesperson Rusty Payne, 53 people have been arrested and charged with various steroid, growth hormone, and related drug offenses in the Southern District of Texas, and 22 will additionally face Federal charges. The investigation began in ‘06 with a smaller bust that ultimately led authorities to the arrests made today.
Among the anabolic steroids and growth hormone, ecstacy, hydrocodone and viagra were also involved in the alleged drug trafficking, which included hundreds of thousands of dosage units.
Right now, it appears that at least one professional bodybuilder, personal trainers, pharmacists, numerous amateur bodybuilders, and two firefighters have been arrested in the operation. Among those allegedly charged, according to Mesomorphosis.com founder Millard Baker, is Jay Moore - an NPC amateur bodybuilder and the training partner of Branch Warren (who is the former training partner of David Jacobs, called the "NFL's BALCO", and the man who killed himself and his girlfriend, Amanda Savell last year in a murder suicide). Sources in the Houston area also claim that Frank "Texas Tornado" Roberson (an IFBB professional bodybuilder) may have been arrested and charged, although these claims are currently unsubstantiated.
The charges break down something like this:
Houston case-
State charges: Texas, Louisiana, Indiana
Federal charges: Texas, California, Georgia
Editor --> Note --> From Millard
This is NOT Jay Moore. Jay Moore was NOT arrested. I was sent an unedited video of footage of the steroid bust in Texas saying that Jay was involved. I looked at it MISTAKENLY believed it was Jay and posted something on twitter to this effect. This was WRONG. I apologize for contributing to this rumor in anyway.

Houston, TX- On the morning of Wednesday, May 27, 2009 several dozen Houston men and women were taken into custody and several suspects are still being sought. Beginning at 4:30 am this morning, arrests took place in California, Texas and Georgia, and early reports from within the DEA indicate that 53 people were charged with...

sucks for Branch to lose his roid supplier
-
Jay was always known as a badass and he wanted to be known as one.
Seems to me that Branch needs better friends.
-
I thought this steroid obsession was a Bush thing. I would have expected the Obama administration to have other priorities.
-
More trash behind bars. Sounds good to me. ;)

Maybe you should be jailed as well since you haved used. :)

To much crap going in the US, fu*k with messing with steroids. If I was outside the US then I would consider it. There getting stupid when it comes to steroids in the US damn.

There's a difference between an 18 year old kid trying gear and a grown man selling it for a living.
These people are fucking trash. Lock em' up. Just another drug dealer.
David Jacobs. ::)
Real classy group there...hahah

If Branch looses some size you know why lol. He probably has a back up though :D.
-
We need to legalize drugs, tax them and get rid of these guys by eliminating their jobs.
-
why do people use steroids when a pretty good physique can be obtained naturally that you will have for the rest of your life not just when you are on steroids....
this should be big enough to satisfy any man's need for muscles.

Reeves probably took orals.
-
some independent hotshots in the dea are the ones pulling this shit. they sense that the 'war on drugs' is coming to an end
-

Agreed. It'll never happen with this pussy government. They probably profit by keeping them illegal. More law enforcement, more prison guards, DEA, etc. Plus, no politician has the balls to take a stand on any of this.
Wake up, our country has failed with the "Just say no!" campaign. People like getting fucked up, roided up, just legalize it, tax it....the end.
-
Sorry, he was a lifetime natural.
Now go to your next excuse to soothe your hurt soul, say that his genetics were better than yours, keep coming up with excuses. ::)
Your lack of work ethic and will power sickens me and G o a t b o y. >:(
Doubtful he was a lifetime natural. No one knows for sure.
I have a good work ethic KID, just realistic about things. You're 19, right?
-
That kind of attitude is why you FAIL!
You don't believe you can achieve anything.
Again with this age bullshit. ::)
This is Debussey: How many times do I have to tell you that age = not mean anything as the experiences that everybody has as they age = different, thus your argument has bad genetics.
if you had good work ethic then you wouldn't look the way you do, GRANDPA! :-*
Total bullshit. There were times I worked out so hard I vomited. After 5 years of training there aren't going to be any miracles happening.
But back to the main point: why do you insist Reeves had to be a lifetime natural?
-
best thing about the illegal drug trade is how it can be used to pump money into a covert operation - without leaving a single trace!
no fuss, no muss, no congress

Look at it like this don't expect any miracles and really you don't need one. If you love working out enough, you'll get of on the feeling alone. When you love the feeling of pushing the iron, that's good enough.
-
This is my ideal physique,
I don't think I'll need roids to achieve it.

Anyone know how Steve Reeves worked out?
What routine?

bullshit. the gentlemen in the cia wouldn't dream of doing such a thing
-
If you work as hard as you say you do, then why do you not look like it. ???
Like people said in your thread last night, you don't even look like you work out. ???
Why do you insist that Reeves was on steroids?
If you don't believe this kind of physique is attainable naturally, stop lifting weights... Seriously.

LOL. By getbig standards I don't look like I work out maybe, but then again, very few people do, including you. By normal real life standards, lots of people on getbig look like they work out. I have known guys who ate like shit, got drunk every weekend and still looked great, big and lean. Why? Genetics. There is hardly any activity where genetics are such a transparent factor as bbing. Ask Kyomu, he readily conceded the following scenario:
Man A=poor genetics + 100% effort
Man B=great genetics +60% effort
Man B wins every time.
I am not a huge beast because my body was never meant to be one. End of story.
-
LOL!!!
Great mindset you have, with that kind of mindset you will THRIVE in life! ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)
You have already given up on yourself, stop your "you = gentics" BS, it got old after the 200th post ::)
You = Quitter :D
Are you claiming that ANYONE can look like Steeve Reeves with hard work and diet?
-
There are two kinds of natural physiques: Skinny twink (ex: Johnnynoname) and PermaBulker (ex: Quaker Oaks)
Any questions?

Agreed. Genetic dictate a huge part in bodybuiding, however, most never put in what I would consider 100% effort. At least not for a big period of time.

With average or poor genetics even 100% effort will only get you so far, maybe a nice swimmer physique at best.
-

yes, if you have Steve Reeve's genes, don't take steroids.
but for the 99.999% of the world who doesn't, PEDs is the only way you'll ever get to look like that

Im sure the streets are safer now... ::)

Jailing people for drug use is stupid. Yes, they're trash, but I'd rather see my tax dollars used fro something else.

(http://www.ifbbpro.com/wp-content/uploads/image/halloffame/SteveReeves1.jpg)
With or without steroids, you'll never achieve it unless you have the same genetics i.e. great skin tone, bone structure, muscle bellies, etc. Hope that helps.

Yup.

If you expect to look like shit, WHY DO YOU EVEN LIFT WEIGHTS?
Either quit or juice up.
Here are some great naturals.
All with exceptional genetics. 99% of the male population will never look like that.
Why lift weights? Because I enjoy it and I look better doing it than not doing it.
-
AXA, you do realize you just look skinny right? I'm not one to bash physiques, but your attitude in this thread is of someone who's comparable to Reeves. You honestly don't look like you've lifted a weight in your life, so why do you bash Deicide and his appearance when in reality the only reason you look better than him is cuz you're taller and less hairy? I think he's even got you beat on muscle composition.
-

yes you have made great progress. Forgot to tell you in your other thread.

Bro, this "genetics" stuff in every post of yours is becoming quite retarded...
-
I don't lack any confidence, unlike some people. :D
But I never claimed to be a Steve Reeves. ;)
Dear "power rod" why do you show me what a person who lifts weights looks like....
Lets have a comparison here...
First pic is you and second one is me..... go to the gym and actually lift some weights. :D
LMAO you don't even workout, you are just a skinny fat person, you are what a person would look like if they didn't work out. 8)
Here is my brother...

what i look like has nothing to do with what you think you look like. i know i'm fat, but do you know you look nothing like steeve reeves?
-
Fuck all this infantile physique shit...
Now this...is glorious... :o So delicious looking... :P
-
Where did I claim to be a Steve Reeves?
You are obese and skinny at the same time, skinny fat, you don't even workout, you are always on here and yet you have made ZERO improvement in years.
You look like a concentration camp survivor with man boobs and a beer gut, very strange look to say the least.

Had it not been for the ecstacy and other opiates and shit, this bust might not have happened.

Steroids were all they wanted to talk about at the press conference. They kept saying steroids were the primary thrust of the investigation and basically that everything else was secondary to steroids. Sheriff suggested that steroids cause problems and pain that led people to taking other drugs found in the bust.
But looking at the lineup of people arrested, it doesn't look like most of them were into weight lifting as they allege.
-
Sheriff said it was the largest narcotics bust in Fort Bend county.......sooo steroids are narcotics now...hmmmm don't know what to say about that.

FORT BEND COUNTY -- Charles Brock Falkenhagen is considered to be a central player in the steroids and Human Growth Hormone or HGH that came through Fort Bend and Harris County, according to authorities.
A recently unsealed indictment revealed more about the accusations against the Sugar Land business owner.
Prosecutors claim he was using his business, Fitness Consultants, as a front to smuggle HGH into the U.S. from a company in China, and that he sold HGH, steroids and hydrocodone through phone calls, text messages and e-mail. The indictment also accuses Falkenhagen of laundering money and wiring tens of thousands of dollars to a bank account in China with the intent of smuggling HGH back into the U.S.
In total, there are 46 counts against Falkenhagen from smuggling to laundering to possession of illegal drugs.
On Wednesday, Fort Bend County authorities arrested more than 60 people allegedly involved with illegal bodybuilding drugs. Many were fitness trainers and body builders from gyms.
They have got friends on speed dial. When they need a certain product, they know who to call," said Ford Bend County Sheriff Milton Wright.
Charges range from selling, to manufacturing, to using steroids and Human growth hormone.
