A quote from the article..."Those arrests today are no different than traditional drug dealers peddling their poison -- methamphetamines and cocaine and heroin -- on the street corner." said Zoran Yankovich with the DEA.

What a crock of sheet!! Very irresponsible statement as well.

The worst part about that statement is the media leads the cattle to believe it's true.....

narcotics

aas are not narcotics....why these stories say narcotics bust. Interesting that it started in 2006.

 

[LATS]

these arrests were stemming from the 2006 arrests made.. these people should have been in hiding by now.. they should have known they were being ratted out or at the least stop dealing..

 

[LATS]

you will also note in that on one of the articles about this they refer to anabolics as "narcotics".. and this was from a dea agent..

terrible. That really makes me sick to see people go down for this kind of thing. Steroids aren't "drugs," and they shouldn't be treated like them under the law.

couldn't agree more

Well, technically AAS are controlled as schedule III so calling them "narcotics" isn't that strange. Everything else on that schedule is a narcotic.

"The steroids in some cases cause pain and other problems which the vicodin and Viagra is necessary to counteract," said Fort Bend County Sheriff Milton Wright."

wtf???

My guess is this started from powder shipments from China being seized, or opened and let through.
