"Steroid-dealing body builder uses court delay to compete in Las Vegas Mr Universe
Nathan DeAsha was supposed to be sentenced today along with Richard Green but is competing for the Mr Universe title in Las Vegas instead
A gym owner was jailed today for buying £10,000 worth of steroids from a top bodybuilder - who is currently competing to be Mr Universe in Las Vegas. Richard Green was sentenced at Exeter Crown Court today after buying the drugs from Liverpool man Nathan DeAsha.
DeAsha, 33, pleaded guilty in July to dealing the illegal anabolic steroids which Green then sold out of his Pain and Gain gym in Devon.
Significant amounts of the steroids were found when police raided the gym in August 2017 while investigating an unrelated drugs case. A sender’s address on the package led officers to alert colleagues in Liverpool , where DeAsha runs his own body building studio.
DeAsha, who calls himself The Prophecy, was also due to be sentenced alongside Green today but was allowed leave of absence because his defence barrister could not make the hearing date. He used the delay to travel to America for one of the biggest events in bodybuilding, which takes place next weekend. He qualified for the prestige contest by winning the British Grand Prix in June and is one of the highest rated competitors.
In his absence, Green was jailed for four and a half years for making thousands of pounds selling cocaine and ecstasy as well as peddling £10,000 worth of steroids to the customers at the gym. Five months of his sentence was for selling on the steroids he originally bought off DeAsha.
The police investigation started when Richard Green was stopped by police in August 2017 with 306 ecstasy tablets and £2,300 cash in his car. Searches uncovered 30 grams of cocaine worth £1,500 in a lockup, the steroids and cash at the gym and lists of customers who owed them money at their home. Green is also a former body builder and self confessed steroid user who called himself Mr Iron Man on social media.

So right after the Olympia, Nathan is going to get sentenced to jail time?
Two top 10 placers from last years Olympia are possibly going to prison.

Many top BB's do illegal things to make money, much too lazy to work a real job, unlike their hard-working Strongman brethren.

I know a bunch of powerlifters who sell gear as well. There's a market for it, why NOT sell it? Where the fuck do you think people get it from? A Doctor??

DeAsha gets indicted on a drug charge and gets to compete, Rhoden's brought up on an unproven bullshit rape charge made by a chick that already lied to the feds in a previous case and AMI ruins his career within a day with nothing proven. Go figure

Forcible rape is a tad more egregious than peddling some anavar.

I for the most part agree with the sentiment here. However, AMI “ruining “ his career . . . I don’t know about that, but it’s sure as heck UNFAIR. We are also assuming AMI knew of the situation and has made a final decision on DeAsha’s situation. And one might also wonder if this situation ( again assuming AMI is allowing DeAsha to compete ) plays out, does Rhodes have ground for a law suit?

Not just indicted - pled guilty - the court appearance would have been for sentencing
All that said, I'm not sure £10k of gear will end in a custodial sentence - at least not in the UK (not sure about US fellas)

I’d say he’s likey to as he’s got previous jail time
Though he did plead guilty which will go in his favour.

Biggest court case since OJ

The article says Universe. Are there two competitions or did the paper just get it wrong?

100%, got previous...is clearly very lax with his working methods, so probably already on the radar.
And he will not fair well infornt of a judge, he just a bigger scally now, than when he was a kid.

You would of thought he might of just acquired some extra street smarts as time went on
Very Clearly He Hasn’t ::)
No doubt next up he’ll be done for the Rec drugs also.

Nathan De Asha has pulled out of the Olympia due to his court sentence.

I can't believe he's pleading not guilty. For fuck sakes c'mon dude. If he was innocent he'd do the Olympia.

Hi guys....
So unfortunately I’ve just received some bad news that’s going to affect my ability to take part in this years Mr Olympia competition. If you’re not aware my name was used in an investigation earlier this year concerning PED’s. I’d like to make it very clear that I did not supply any performance enhancing drugs at all. Little did I know the gym was involved in the sale of not only PED’s but also Class A drugs. The police had been watching this chap and his wife for very long time. Since then these two people have been convicted and charged.
The lady in question got a suspended sentence and my charge is far less than hers, so no imprisonments will happen. I’ve literally just received a letter informing me that my sentence date is the Monday 10am after the Olympia. It’s impossible for me to compete and be back in time for this. Speaking to my legal team, we have decided that it’s best to represent myself at the hearing with all evidences and paperwork. Missing this appointment could add to my sentencing and that’s not in its best interest of myself or my family.
Life teaches you some hard lessons and call me naive but I’ve had conversations with gym owners worldwide about PEDs and wouldn’t have seen this coming. It’s unfortunate and it’s a tough pill to swallow especially knowing that I’m looking my best ever and yet to display it.
That said, there is no hurdle that I can’t jump over. It’s obstacles like this that really test us mentally and physically. I’m a fighter and a winner. So I know in 2020 I’m gonna be better than ever. My outlook on life has most definitely changed and that my mindset is stronger than ever. I’d like to take a moment to thank my sponsors, my partner, my family and all my friends for their continued support and I can promise them that a scenario like this will never repeat.
I’d like to also apologize to the IFBB Pro League and to AMI for not being able to compete this year and can also promise them that moving forwards I will continue to represent bodybuilding in a positive light, having learned from mistakes made. Best of luck to all who are competing this weekend in al divisions and I’ll see you all on the circuit in 20

Nathan De Asha has pulled out of the Olympia due to his court sentence.
https://www.evolutionofbodybuilding.net/nathan-de-asha-pulls-out-of-olympia/ (https://www.evolutionofbodybuilding.net/nathan-de-asha-pulls-out-of-olympia/)
Just wait until the De Asha legal team smartens up the judge on how minor a role drugs play in the bodybuilding world, and that genetics, proper dieting, and adhering to the Weider Principles are what builds championship physiques!
-
erm if he didnt do nuffin why is he being sentenced? ::)
-

He should call Chick as an expert witness to testify that drugs are just the finishing touch.

The first evidence will be arnold's quotes that steroids were only used a little bit before the competition.
Then there will be 8 tupperware boxes of rice and chicken, showing that eating clean food every 3 hours is the secret. Not everyone is willing to get up twice a night to eat a meal like the dedicated athlete Nathan.
Then there'll be a videolink witness testimony from Primemuscle, stripping off for the camera to show how Nathan has inspired him to keep in shape at 75.

Coach, I’d suggest logging off of Getbig, it’s not good for your BP. Yes that’s my professional opinion.

I couldn't imagine going through an entire (especially an Olympia prep) and having to pull out at the last minute. All the dieting, drugs, training, food for nothing? Hopefully he does the Italian show after the Olympia.

"Judge David Evans told him: “As a regular competitor on the national and international stage, who has done well in bodybuilding, you are a disgrace to the sport and it is doubly sad, given how well you have done to overcome past behaviour and adversity.
“What makes your behaviour more disappointing is that you project yourself as an ambassador for the sport to children. I hope you can make good the damage which you have done to your own reputation and to the sport.”
Julian Nutter, defending, said DeAsha had been jailed when he was younger but had used his bodybuilding skills to turn his life around. He said DeAsha would suffer serious punishment because his conviction would prevent him travelling to the United States to compete in the future.
De Asha immediately published a statement on his official social media after he received his sentence from court.
Vindicated…. Having missed the Olympia last weekend definitely paid dividends.
In court today for my hearing, I received no jail time and this is the result I knew I was going to get despite all the rumours online.
When your heart is pure and you know you have done no wrong, it’s just about playing the waiting game.
Yes I was nervous and that’s very natural for most in this position but my inner confidence knew I’d come out of this unscathed.
The universe threw me a curve ball and how I chose to deal with it would have defined my future as an athlete. I’m proud of the steps I have taken and want to remind all of you out there…

“Vindicated” Ha Ha Ha
Come on Nathan - Really not everyone is as Thick as You.

Is his US ban permanent or can he appeal at some point?
I honestly don't know. A quick Google didn't offer much clarity either:
"If you are coming to the USA from a Visa Waiver Country and have a previous conviction, you will most likely have to apply to get a visa to enter the country. It's a little more hassle, but unless your offense was pretty serious (in the eyes of the USA), doesn't mean that you can't come. If you are coming from a country that doesn't participate in the VWP (and isn't part of NAFTA), then you'll need to apply for a visa anyways, so no difference.
To be ineligible to recieve a visa, you would need to have committed a crime "involving moral turpitude" or related to "a controlled substance" (source: Ineligible for Visa), though if the crime was committed when you were under 18 years of age or the maximum penalty of the crime is less than 1 year or you didn't serve more than 6 months.
If you have multiple convictions, regardless of the offense, you are not allowed to obtain a USA Visa, and cannot visit the country."
I know the US treats PEDs more seriously than the UK, so the first highlighted bit doesn't bode well. My old fart memory seems to recall a rocker (Jagger maybe?) falling foul of something like this rule. But then I see the second bit about the sentence and I get confused...

That’s not going to go well for him.

That means Nathan won’t be able to compete at the Arnold Classic or the Mr Olympia. No guest posing appearances in the US either.
Shows in Brazil or Australia or Prague or in Asia may be his only opportunities to compete.
My PROPHECY is: Shawn Rhoden has a brighter competition future than Nathan

Exactly a bottle of test probably has a margin of $20 where a ball has a profit of $60.
Try 48.50

Try 48.50
try 55.11 and give me the right change back....

:o
Wow...
Prime - Exactly what the actual f**k do you have to Google to come up with an image like that..?
If you're talking about the photo I think you are, I wouldn't know. I copied it from another Getbigger's post. The photo big woman is amazingly artificial and yet almost funny because it is such a ridiculous caricature of what a 'roided out' female bodybuilder in the tiniest possible bikini might look like.

DeAsha gets indicted on a drug charge and gets to compete, Rhoden's brought up on an unproven bullshit rape charge made by a chick that already lied to the feds in a previous case and AMI ruins his career within a day with nothing proven. Go figure
Coach, I agree with your premise that it was inappropriate of AMI to ban Rhoden as they have - but trying to draw comparison between the allegation of rape to that of selling some vials to willing users is beyond farcical.. :-\

AMI banned Rhoden not the IFBB, he can still compete with the IFBB as far as Im aware

Hopefully Shawn learned his lesson from missing out on the Olympia.

That's profit margin on a bottle of test, idiot.
I can see how you'd mistake of thinking I was talking about an "8ball".
