A February 22 Daily News article about purchasing the steroid Primobolan in the Dominican Republic ("Dominican Drug Dilemma") reported that Dominican-born bodybuilder Victor Martinez is the owner of the Santo Domingo supplement store Gurabo.

The store sells protein powders, supplements and steroids. Many steroids are legally sold in the Dominican Republic without a prescription.

Martinez is not the owner of Gurabo, does not live in the Dominican Republic and has not lived there for at least 18 years, according to his attorney, Mike Wilens.

The Daily News regrets the error.

Martinez, 35, is training for the upcoming Arnold Classic bodybuilding competition (March 6-8) in Columbus, Ohio and is looking to regain the title. He placed first at the event in 2007.

He was 29 SIX YEARS AGO when he won the 2003 NOC with his best ever showing.  he has been an "if" guy (like..."if vic comes in 100% he could win it all) ever since.  time flies, huh?

Can he sue for libel? They're denegrating this drug-abusing felon's good name.
