That was a good read while it was going down back then here is a copy and paste from another site..
"The story is that Dennis James, 4th place at the 2003 Mr. Olympia, has been arrested in Thailand by the DEA and the Thailand police. He was picked up while at the gym on Thursday morning. The preliminary discussion is that the arrest has to do with extacy, ketamine and steroids. He has been transported to Bangkok and after that, no one really knows anything."
Update:
Dlock @ MuscleMayhem:
I just got home from Bangkok after 5 days working on DJ’s legal troubles in Bangkok.
He was released on bail on Monday at about 2pm. He was in good physical shape after 5 days of very little food and water – he lost about 7kg. The conditions where he was staying were basically a small cell holding 30 inmates, wooden floor, no beds or chairs, one roof fan and a hole in the middle of the floor to crap into. The lights were never turned off. There was no exercise period and he never left that cell.
The first thing we did was check into a hotel where he showered, then we ate the buffet dry and then in true DJ style, he went to bed at 9:30pm because he wanted to train the next day.
But he had one more thing to do before he drove back to Pattaya. He had spent 5 days with some of the baddest drug dealers you could imagine - guys that freely admit to having tens of thousands of pills and will never be released – but he had made a promise. He went to Pizza Hut and KFC and bought his ex-cellmates all the pizza and chicken they could eat. He also gave one of the guys that will never see the light of day again, a pair of his Docker boots. He will never get to wear them, but he asked DJ for them and DJ went home barefoot. Says a lot about the guy.
Again, I don’t want to talk to much about his case and our legal defense, except that he is well represented and his lawyers are very confident. That said, this is Thailand where drug dealing is punishable by life in prison or death. We will be working very hard on proving his innocence in the coming weeks.
As far as all the newspaper reports, they are so inaccurate its laughable. They do not even come close to the actual police charges (physical report) against him. Fiction at its best, made to sell newspapers. Please ignore them. If what they reported was true, there is no way DJ would make bail.
In a nutshell, there are no steroid charges at all. The only charge is for 19 tablets of ecstasy that was sent to him at Universe Gym from an inidentified person in Germany. He did not admit or sign anything, did not open the package and is free on bail. There are absolutely no extradition proceedings in place. He has all the correct visa’s for Thailand. Anything different from these facts is just wrong.
Chad. Thanks a million for being the voice of reason on the other end of the phone. Tom, the only Pro to offer kind words, thanks. Mayhem supporters, DJ will validate your support soon. To all the doubters, haters, rumor moungers and pimply faced-Judge Judy’s – screw you. I hope you never, ever have to face anything like this.
I will ask you again. Please keep an open mind on DJ's legal case - Innocent until proven guilty. Not asking for you to believe or your support...but dont be surprised if after reading all the negative crap on this board, that you lose yet another Pro from Mayhem.
Lastly, DJ will probably be on here in a few days. He had his computer confiscated so he has to go buy a new one tomorrow.
He’s probably at the gym right about now…
Later.
