FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 09/30/2009 11:30 AM Pacific
Tonight LIVE on the Internationally Syndicated radio show OFF TOPIC, a Dr. Jesse Haggard, the former clinical director of Revolution Medical Centers, will announce that he will voluntarily surrender to federal agents in Florida on Friday, October 2, 2009. Haggard will be taken into custody at the Orlando International Airport and transported to Alabama where he faces steroid distribution charges.
Haggard has been a fugitive since January 2009 when he was accused of prescribing anabolic steroids “outside the usual course of professional practice” and “not for legitimate medical purposes”. However, unlike other doctors similarly prosecuted, Haggard had an indisputable doctor-patient relationship with all of his patients that included comprehensive laboratory testing; Haggard never prescribed anabolic steroids over the internet or to any patients not evaluated during an in-person medical examination.
Haggard will discuss in depth all the details surrounding his case, his time as a fugitive and his future. Tune in LIVE at 5:00PM Pacific / 8:00PM Eastern on the AOL SHOUTcast Network using the Link
