A federal judge sentenced a Camarillo man to nine months in community confinement and six months in home confinement on Friday after he pleaded guilty in May to trafficking human growth hormone obtained from Australia and China, according to federal prosecutors.

Jeffrey Rock also forfeited $125,000, the profit from the sale of the drug.

Rock was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Mary Lisi in Providence, R.I.

Thomas Connell, spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Rhode Island, couldn't be reached for comment Friday afternoon.

Rock, 35, sold the growth hormone through the use of Web sites and encrypted e-mail. He promoted the hormone as a way to achieve muscle growth and fat loss.

It is unlawful to distribute human growth hormone without a valid prescription, and federal law restricts its use to a few specified diseases, according to prosecutors.

Rock pleaded guilty to smuggling goods into the U.S., two counts of distributing human growth hormone and three counts of money laundering. Rock operated his business under names such as Gavin Kane Enterprises and RockHard Physique.

The China-based supplier, GeneScience Pharmaceutical Co., and CEO Lei Jin are charged in a federal indictment in Rhode Island with operating an international human growth hormone smuggling operation. A warrant is outstanding for Jin's arrest.

Prosecutors said GeneScience has forfeited to the federal government about $2.7 million that federal agents seized from banks in New York.

In a recent report, experts say that athletes may not be getting the boost they expected from human growth hormone, according to The Associated Press.

While growth hormone adds some muscle, it doesn't appear to improve strength or exercise capacity, according to a review of studies that tested the hormone in mostly athletic young men, according to Dr. Hau Liu of Santa Clara Valley Medical Center in San Jose, who was lead author of the review.

Human growth hormone is made by the pituitary gland and promotes growth. A synthetic version has been available since the 1980s, and its use is restricted for certain conditions in children and adults, including short stature, growth hormone deficiency and AIDS.

[jawbreakerkid]

As silly as it may seem to us, it is against the law and he knowingly distibuted it and got caught. End of story. These threads get so old, it's not changing any time soon...move on

Oh, and they all beat lil kittens too. lol. What a great government we have. I'm so happy they're protecting us from those nasty criminals!

 

[joedokes]

Notice there's no mention of housewives using this stuff to stay younger. Or how most of Hollywood is using it to keep their careers alive. Nope, just those damn dirty bodybuilders.

I wish they would have put him away for 25 years! He's a lowlife, scumbag who lied to people and stole their money. It's much more than selling HGH.

so true bro... that shit is HUGE here in orange county and in beverly hills... hell there are corporate executives on hgh running around century city. it's nuts. i saw advertisements for hormone replacement programs in the airline mags on a plane last week, they had a picture of a jacked 72 year old man, bragging about how his body looks 30 years old. he was one of the doctors at the clinic.

you see, that's OK. because these filthy rich people can pay a doctor $1500/mo. and support the american pharmaceutical industry.

but people using this relatively inexpensive hgh from china are bad mmkay?

it was the american pharmaceutical industry who lobbied for the crackdown on the evil generic hgh industry that was cutting into their sales.

this is about money, as always.

No it didn't I get tired of reading that BS.
GH supply and intense scrutiny (crackdown) occured because simply of Balco and Baseball (the huge amount of press it got and "save our children BS) and the stupidity of those involved peddling it thinking it was OK as it wasn't a controlled substance and the ease the gov't could track and whack the guys from the top all the way down. When it went down I remember reading the affadavits posted outlining every single step transaction wire transfer and delivery of units down the the iu. Encrypted e-mail is NOT allowed in CHINA and the gov't intercepted and processed thousands of emails...long long history not even worth arguing about.

I guess that was pretty harsh, wasn't it. I didn't personally have experience with him, but have heard the story. I don't feel sorry for people that do this and then have the balls to beg members on his website for money to get a lawyer. I'm done.

[Quad-smack]

Gavin was a good stand-up guy that contributed alot here and helped out quite a few. Unfortunately, he got caught up in the shit-storm known as ORD.
I don't remember him begging for money, but I'm not always here nor am I able to read all threads. Regardless, it is what it is. It saddens me to hear this news.
Peace to you, Bro - stay safe & healthy...

 

[BLACKCAT]

Why do these threads end up the same way every single time?

1. Known person on the boards sells gear

2. People purchase goods from known person and thus he is a "stand up" guy

3. Person gets caught selling illegal goods

4. People now lose their hook up and blame our government

5. People post 100 threads on how "it's bullshit that we arrest people for this"


Yes it's a waste of time to go after something like this but he broke the fucking law. Regardless if it's a shitty law or not, or government will enforce certain laws and make examples of the people that break these laws. Here is a good example. They have speed limit restrictions in school zones. It's clearly posted. Even when all the students are inside the building you still can't speed through that area without risking a huge ticket. Dumb law? Yes to a certain degree but if I'm willing to risk breaking it I'm not going to complain when I get caught. It's not as if people were not told that if you do this activity that is against the law you are going to possibly go to jail. It's part of the risk and I'm sure the parties were aware of this prior to doing what they did. Yes it sucks, but its just how the cookie crumbles.

So you dont know the story, then what you said is hearsay. So if I were you I would keep my mouth shut till you do know the full story.

Wishing someone 25 years for selling a product that is legal in most countrys. Asshole.
