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.
