Signature was my HRT clinic's compounding pharmacy... I don't know what I am going to do.

 

[DARIOZZO]

Hi,do you know what pharmacies are involved?

 

[Golgo13]

Only Signature, but they did fulfillment for many anti-aging clinics. Mine is Palm Beach Life Extension.

 

[eek]

signature is the pharmacy named in the reports. The article I read in today's NY Times claimed their not interested in buyers, just the pharmacy, doctors, and the online clinics that used signature.

Since the online HRT clinics required blood tests in order to write a prescription, it would seem the buyers/clients are covered, though I suppose if your famous, you'll be outed.

Agreed. But as the media makes a feeding frenzy of this, and the gov't is losing the war on drugs in the streets they will use this as propaganda to show the mass population that they are doing something about this terrible epidemic. By bring down the celebs they can also show impartiality and say "we don't care who you are, we will track you down and prosecute". THe real drug poblem, ICE, Heroin, Cocaine, Amphetemines etc. is all too hard for them to do anything about, so to make a good public image they target the easy ones, US! US meaning aas users and their suppliers. Don't forget there is an election year next year, so some extra vote grabbing is in order. IMO most of this is politcally motivated and also politcally controlled.

I agree completely. The "Real" drug problem is completely out of hand. I could probably drive a couple of miles from my house and buy any narcotic I wanted to. The police know where these houses are, all the city govt officials know ,and they do nothing about it. Just like when I drive by all the illegals loitering in the same place everyday waiting to be picked up for work. All law enforcement know they're there and do nothing about it. But a couple of people enhancing there performance and all hell breaks loose. Doesn't make any sense.

ronnie and the others are in no way responsible for what their doc prescribes them.. the men submitted blood work and were given docs prescriptions.. ronnie and vic received the gear legally and with doc orders.. the doc is in hot water.. but, the men in question are legally fine.. they did not break the law in regards to obtaining prescibed gear.. thatis why the feds are not after them.. they .. the feds .. have no legal grounds against the buyers.. just the "prescribers".. i .. or you.. can not help what our health care providers prescribe..

 

[nosmas]

It is still going to cause PR issues for Big Ron and Vic, well maby not ie Dennis James and Milos.
Thinking more about it, the news wont supprise anyone in our community and not many in the mainstream will think anything of the relation to BB.

Damn... A good friend of mine used Applied Pharm to fill his HRT. This was about 2 years ago, but he used them for about 2 years since it was so much cheaper than filling it locally. His doc would call or fax the Rx to Applied for him. Hope he's going to be okay. He did use a local doc and I think he ran bloodwork too...

What a witch-hunt!

Signature was my HRT clinic's compounding pharmacy... I don't know what I am going to do.

Bro - I think you'll be fine. There's a thread over on another board (anabolicminds), and Dr. John Crisler posted a note that he had rec'd a call from Rick Collins, and Signature was cleared by the pharmacy board and is back in business already.

It comes down to the legitimacy of your doc. They're going to feel the heat on this one, I think.

I"m not worried. I have HRT stuff from Signature. But my doc is legit; he just shopped for the best prices/service.

I read the paper here and it said theat the feds were not after the users only dealers.Lets not chase the real crooks and criminals ,but instead they want to mess with pepole who use aas to better their bodys .One article said that steroids incresed your athletic abilities, well some pepole don't know what that means.If i take test and d-bol and have not ever been a quaterback now all of the sudden i should be able to throw tuchdown after tuchdown ,or baseball hit mostly home runs(whatever). These pepole are lost and they always say the side effects ,but they never mention that most side of effects are mild and not permant, some are greater than others but that is where abuse come in.Uneducated pepole make me sick ,let some of these bashers take some test and d-bol and workout and eat right then we will see what happens when they like the results.

I hate to throw a cat amongst the pigeons but that's what the feds say now. They want some scalps man, they will get them. They may make statements like that and then go knocking on/down doors. Don't be shocked when it happens!

 

[Golgo13]

Theory about the feds:

I always thought that ordering international (is use only amounts) was smarter because the worst they could do is seize at customs.

In contrast, with domestic sources, if they catch you, they will make your life hell unless you roll over on your source.

Is there any truth to this, or am I confused?

Could be true, but you could just make up a story that you got an email a while back with some guy offering stuff and say you deleted the email long time ago and got a new computer. His payment method was cash in mail(then give them some bogus addy) and that it. Plus, i've only heard of 1 or 2 domestic siezures and thats usually from someone who has beef with your source or you and called the PO ahead of time to report you have a pack coming.
