Eddie Moyzan charged in selling steroids
Eddie Moyzan placed 4th in the Super Heavyweight class at the 2002 National Bodybuilding & Fitness Championships. He now finds himself facing charges stemming from selling steroids to an undercover Pennsylvania State trooper.
According to a pennlive.com, Moyzan laid out a steroid plan for the state trooper, including how long to take each drug. Two purchases were arranged in the Gold’s Gym parking lot.
Nj.com reports:
Trooper Gregory Emery, with Pennsylvania State Police at Bethlehem, joined Gold’s Gym in September 2006 to investigate complaints of illegal steroid distribution among the gym’s members, including Moyzan.
Emery befriended Moyzan, who advised Emery he would want to take “d-bol,” a term for methandrostenolone, for five weeks followed by five weeks of Anavar to increase muscle mass, according to court documents.
Emery allegedly purchased 200 methandrostenolone pills from Moyzan on Nov. 16, 2006, for $300.
Moyzan arranged the sale in the parking lot and left the pills in a gym locker, court documents say.
On Jan. 11, 2007, police allege Moyzan sold Emery 100 Anavar pills for $325.
He told Emery he used to sell steroids full time but has since gotten a good job and mainly sells to friends, court documents say.
Police issued a warrant for Moyzan on Feb. 26. State police officials in Bethlehem and Harrisburg did not return phone messages Monday to explain the gap between when the warrant was issued and when Moyzan was arrested.
Carol DeIuliis, senior vice president of sales and operations for Gold’s Gym, his gym membership will be canceled if convicted.
Edward Michael Moyzan, 35, of 1225 Main St., was charged Friday with possession of a controlled substance and possession with the intent to deliver. He was arraigned before District Judge Wayne Maura and is free on $50,000 unsecured bail. Source: TheMorningCall.com
American Gladiators Juiced?
Nope. You won’t catch any of the new American Gladiators on the sauce. According to a recent article, NBC states that it tested all of the Gladiators for steroids.
NBC executives may have been juiced over American Gladiators’ stellar debut, but the gladiators themselves were all natural. That’s because NBC Universal subjected the gladiators to steroid testing before they could appear on the show.
The 12 cast members were tested as part of their medical examinations and then required to sign a document saying that they were clean and that they could be tested at any time.
NBCU co-chairman Ben Silverman confirmed the testing but declined to comment further.
NBC insiders said the testing was done more for medical reasons than anything else.

From the Sundance Website:
In America, we define ourselves in the superlative: we are the biggest, strongest, fastest country in the world. Is it any wonder that so many of our athletes take performance-enhancing drugs? Director Christopher Bell explores America’s win-at-all-cost philosophy by examining the way his two brothers became members of the steroid subculture in an effort to realize their American dream.Ingeniously beginning the film by harkening back to the mentality of the 1980s, where the heroes were Rambo, Conan, and Hulk Hogan, Bell recounts how these role models led him and his brothers into power lifting and dreams of becoming all-star wrestlers. Those dreams were soon shattered by the realization that success in those fields required the use of performance-enhancing drugs. Bell uses his personal story as an entree into analyzing the bigger issues that surround these drugs: ethics in sports; the health ramifications, both physical and psychological; as well as the mentality that fuels it all.
Bigger, Stronger, Faster* combines crisp editing of hilarious archival footage with priceless family revelations, as well as interviews with congressmen, professional athletes, medical experts, and everyday gym rats. The power of the film is the way Bell stays away from preconceptions and stereotypes and digs deeper to find the truth and concoct a fascinating, humorous, and poignant profile of one of the side effects of being American.
