Research Chemist closed for business!
« on: June 02, 2008, 10:15:44 AM »
Just got this e-mail from Jennifer Navoy.

"Hello ****, All clothing on sale, tanktops for $10. Workout pants $20 any style. Please call order for clothing as sale price is not avail online All products available on our site and in stock and ready to ship.  Online orders are accepted and phone orders are welcomed.    Please support us in our time of need. All funds will go towards rebuilding our company and legal fees. We hope to be bigger and better in the future. Thank you for your support. Jennifer"

Evidently, www.researchchemist.com, is not able to sell ancillaries anymore.  I think they might be getting sued at the moment.

She is having a sale on clothing items at www.pumpnpose.com to raise money it looks like.

I e-mailed her back asking for details.

We shall see.

They were busted and raided by the fed:


Major Bodybuilding Research Chemical Website Busted - ResearchChemist.com
Posted on 04:01 May 15th, 2008 by Millard Baker

ResearchChemist.com, a major research chemical website operating out of Georgia, was busted this week. The website sells various bodybuilding ancillary drugs such as Cabergoline, Clomiphene, Sildenafil, Diphenhydramine, Dutasteride, Exemestane, Tadalifil, Finasteride, Letrozole, Tamoxifen, and Vardenafil (”Police: Mansion Residents Earning $30K A Day Making Drugs,” May 14).

Roswell police Lieutenant James McGee said Tuesday the operation sold HGH, testosterone and copy-cat versions of Cialis online and through mail order, netting an estimated $25,000 to $30,000 a day.

The Roswell Police Department SWAT Team and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Office of Criminal Investigations raided the “mansion” home of Christian and Jennifer Navoy in the upscale Sentinel on the River Subdivision of Roswell, Georgia. According to property records, the Navoys purchased the home at 8585 Sentinae Chase Drive, Roswell, GA 30076 for $745,000 in July 2006. They moved to Georgia from Fort Walton Beach, Florida where they were employed as a registered nurse and a licensed physical therapist.

The couple has operated similar websites for several years including SyntholDirect.com and PumpnPose.com where they previously sold research chemicals until the spring of 2004 when they launched ResearchChemist.com (”Roswell Home in Sentinel on the River Subdivision Raided for Sales of HGH, Testosterone, and Copy-Cat Cialis,” May 14).

The couple sold $25,000-$30,000 a day, making more than $100,000 a week selling the drugs over the internet all over the country. It is believed the couple had been producing the drugs for years, however it wasn’t until recently when authorities received a tip that they began investigating.

According to the Atlanta Constitution Journal, charges against Chris and Jennifer Navoy are pending from the FDA. A local television station WSBTV reports that the Navoys are now in the custody of the Roswell Police Department after turning themselves in late Wednesday.

While it is unclear if investigators actually discovered anabolic steroids, testosterone or growth hormone, they surely discovered large inventories of the various research chemicals advertised on the website ResearchChemist.com.

That article I found on trainwiser. Emmortal posted this. There is some info on our in the news section. Its all over the boards:

Posted on 03:45 May 16th, 2008 by Millard Baker

It does NOT appear that Chris and Jennifer Navoy distributed anabolic steroids and/or human growth hormone in connection with the bodybuilding research chemicals sold via their website at ResearchChemist.com. This is contrary to a citizen complaint and police and media reports alleging that the couple sold and distributed steroids and HGH online.

The drugs that the couple actually distributed were openly advertised as non-scheduled ?research chemicals? for several years on their websites. Federal authorities seized drugs that are the active ingredients in brand name drugs such as Viagra, Cialis, Dostinex, Clomid, and Arimidex from their home in Roswell, Georgia.

The media is now calling these ?steroid-related drugs? rather than admit this does not appear to be a steroid distribution case.

Police also seized two bottles of testosterone cypionate ?prescribed? to Christian Navoy; human growth hormone was not found anywhere. Agents discovered used syringes, vials, and an empty Component T-H (trenbolone acetate 200mg) box - all consistent with personal use - in the trash outside the Navoy?s home over the course of a three month investigation. One hundreds vials of Livzon brand human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), which is not an anabolic steroid or growth hormone, were seized by customs officials arriving from China.

The small quantities of testosterone and trenbolone suggest that these anabolic steroids were solely for personal use (bodybuilding purposes) and not distribution.

The only charge listed in the criminal complaint is the ?unlawful distribution of sildenafil citrate? also known as Viagra.

This case could very well establish the precedent for legality of the sale of ?research chemicals? that are of particular interest to the bodybuilding community. The research chemical niche has thrived for several years on the internet.

This is important for this very reason.

Nope, never heard of anyone.  I've never known anyone personally to get busted ordering AAS either.

It doesn't surprise me if you don't start seeing it happen.  The thing you have to remember about "research chemicals" is that they are marketing FDA approved drugs to a nonresearch market without a prescription.   This is going to provide a door for law enforcement to go through.   Its going to take a few "harassment" cases before the febs back off.  And if they have one bust where they get concurrent anabolics/performance enhancers, its going to seriously fuel their fires.

Yeah, I saw that.  I knew the labs themselves were out on a limb right now.  I meant the end user or the person who orders research chems by mail in the US.  Has anyone ever been busted for that?

"We were raided by the FDA, all of our liquid research products were taken, many of our other supplies were taken as well.  We are just trying to resume business with the support of our loyal customers.  Any sales will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you for your support.. Jennifer"

The Feds took all their products, cleaned them out.......

Seems kind of shady considering there weren't any anabolics or GH.

Well that's pretty standard procedure since they got tipped off that they were selling anabolics and they would need to do some testing on the products that were in all the vials and what not to see if they really are what they're labeled.

I would think the feds would buy from them before raiding them.

In some cases yes, but they'd still have to take everything to test random batches of it.  Hard to say though without knowing the exact details of how they got tipped off.

It takes a really pathetic person to snitch on Research Chemist.

I wonder if it was a competitor like AG-Guys or IBE?

Makes you wonder........

I agree and I certainly wouldn't put it past being a competitor who did this.  This "industry" is cutthroat as we've seen with recent and past happenings.
