Title: 30 NYPD arrested in federal steroid sting !!
Post by: musclecenter on October 16, 2007, 09:19:34 PM
According to Newsday
http://www.newsday.com/news/local/manhattan/ny-nybust1017,0,5938653.story?coll=ny_home_rail_headlines (http://www.newsday.com/news/local/manhattan/ny-nybust1017,0,5938653.story?coll=ny_home_rail_headlines)
Sources tell CW11's Arthur Chi'en that 30 NYPD officers are being arrested in connection with a steroid ring involving the use of the substance, considered a narcotic, and possibly its distribution. The officers being sought work in precincts throughout Brooklyn and Staten Island and several are already in police custody.

BY BILL MASON AND ROCCO PARASCANDOLA

Six New York City police officers are under investigation for possibly obtaining anabolic steroids improperly, police said late Tuesday night.

"We don't expect to arrest anybody," Deputy Police Commissioner Paul J. Browne said in an interview with Newsday. "We're looking at this as a possible case in which steroids were taken for personal use. These officers will be subject to disciplinary action, not arrest."

Browne issued a statement Tuesday night following a report on CW11 that Brown said was "wildly distorted and exaggerated the facts" pertaining to the departments Internal Affairs Bureau investigation.
The report said sources indicated 30 police officers from Brooklyn and Staten Island precincts were being arrested in connection with a steroid ring.

Police said a pharmacy employee at Lowen's Pharmacy in Bay Ridge was arrested Tuesday in connection with the investigation.

A raid of the pharmacy in May is connected to the criminal investigation of an Orlando company that was raided in February. Five people who operated that clinic have been indicted on felony charges in Albany, according to the Albany Times-Union newspaper.

Investigators went through a prescriber list and found a number of customers worked for the police department either as cops or civilians, police said. Of that list, investigators determined that six deserved a further look.

Actually, I don't think that is the case.  This is probably related to those Fla. "anti-aging" clinics that got busted a while ago.  They may not be able to bust them because they received the drugs under the guise of a doctor's prescription.  What is troublesome is that LE may be looking carefully at the customer lists of those places.

The frustrating thing is that the act of congress that made steroids illegal for bodybuilding effectively removed medical supervision. The result of which is all the uncontrolled dosing.  The endocrinologist I used to go to told me that most people using now use too much, that they could get the same results with much smaller doses and most bad sides can be controlled by a knowledgeable physician.
  Not to mention, the unknown contents of many drugs purchased underground.

Bigger steroid probe feared: sources
 BY ROCCO PARASCANDOLA

Police officials yesterday downplayed a steroid scandal linked to the NYPD, but police sources said there is concern among department brass that more cops may be linked to the controversy now that there is an internal investigation.

Police thus far have said that six officers may face disciplinary actions if it is determined that they bought anabolic steroids from a Bay Ridge pharmacy for personal use not related to a medical condition.

There is no indication the officers, assigned to several precincts in Brooklyn, were involved in selling the drugs, and Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne, the NYPD's top spokesman, said the officers are not facing criminal charges.
Sources, however, say NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly and other police officials are worried that the use of steroids and human growth hormone, particularly among younger officers who work out regularly, is more widespread than previously thought.

"We've had officers charged by the department in the past," one source said. "More people in general are using steroids. So why wouldn't that be the case in the Police Department?"

The focus on the use of steroids within the NYPD began to take shape in May, when the state Bureau of Economic Enforcement raided Lowen's Pharmacy in Bay Ridge, and seized medical records and nearly $200,000 worth of steroids and human growth hormone.

That agency went back to Lowen's on Monday, accompanied by the NYPD, and seized several million dollars worth of steroids and HGH.

The pharmacy's records revealed a list of about two dozen officers and civilian members of the department who get their medication there.

From that list, Internal Affairs investigators whittled to six the number of officers suspected of buying steroids there.

The six officers have been asked to submit to drug tests.

The raid at Lowen's is part of a larger probe run out of Albany, where District Attorney David Soares has been investigating Internet prescription drug sales.

The Albany probe, sources said, is connected to the investigation of a Florida pharmacy that did business with several Major League Baseball players, including Mets reliever Scott Schoeneweis.
