Bodybuilder admits possessing drug

Tuesday, January 24, 2006

A renowned bodybuilder pleaded guilty Monday in Hackensack to possessing a tranquilizing drug often used by athletes.

Victor Martinez, a 33-year-old New Yorker known among his fans as the "Dominican Dominator," was arrested in July 2004 in Fairview, where narcotics detectives say they saw him exchanging bags and an envelope with a customer at Angelo's Restaurant on Anderson Avenue.

Based on tests made on site, Martinez was charged with possessing and distributing gamma hydroxybutyrate, or GHB, also known as a "date-rape" drug. He also was charged with the possession and distribution of a similar drug, butanediol.

Both drugs are often used by athletes to counter the effects of steroids.

The charges against Martinez, which carried up to 10 years in prison upon conviction, were later downgraded after lab tests showed that he did not possess GHB, said Assistant Bergen County Prosecutor Thomas Kearney.

At a brief hearing in Superior Court in Hackensack, Martinez pleaded guilty to third-degree possession of butanediol and will receive a sentence on March 17 that carries no jail term or probation.

"I think it was a fair resolution, considering the state would have had a difficult time proving the charges," said defense lawyer Chris Kazlau.

Counter the effects of steriods?? WTF?

?

At least get the fucking story straight. These dumbass reporters, who do they get their info from?

Vic is lucky. There is no room for those kind of drugs in this sport. It's bad enough all the other stuff but to add this shows no sense. Yes, I am disgusted.

Upon arrest, Mr. Martinez explained that he was only trying to live up to the standards of a close friend, one Craig Titus.

probably the most overrated bb in the world.

he looked good at the NOC in 2003 but since has looked like shit. and no one seems to mind the oil in his biceps, but if ruhl does it, its a big d3al.

this guy is an absolute piece of shitt. he didnt learn his lesson the first time, and he should do serious jail time bc he is a fuccking idiot. this guy should be gone from the sport or at least suspended. with all the bad press bbing gets (like titus and ryan), its only a matter of time before there is a congressional hearing and john mccain shuts the IFBB down.
