Steroid Sources, the Internet’s leading resource for information about performance enhancing drugs, anabolic steroids for sale and advice about buying steroids, has broken the story of Richard Andrew Thomas, who has been jailed after pleading guilty to possession of steroids with intent to distribute. A symbol of the way legal restrictions and professional sport bans in this country result in many steroid purchases taking place through the black market, the Florida man is also at the center of a scandal involving a Chiropractor and NHL and MLB athletes who were allegedly buying steroids to help them recover more quickly from injuries.

July 1, 2010 -- When police arrested Florida resident Richard Andrew Thomas, charging him with possession of steroids with intent to distribute, they also fanned the flames surrounding Washington Chiropractor Douglas Nagel, who was allegedly buying steroids from Thomas and prescribing them to NHL and MLB players.

Steroids for sale in the US occupy a grey area, complicated by legality issues when buying steroids without a prescription and the ban on performance enhancing drugs in place in many professional sports leagues. Anabolic steroids for sale online may often be from questionable sources and while ordering online is often considered the most discreet way to obtain the controlled substances, buyers who go this route without investigating the retailers may put their health and financial information at risk. Richard Andrew Thomas represents the black market dealers who offer performance enhancing drugs and steroids for sale with no questions asked. Anyone who’s currently buying steroids through “a guy” at their gym should consider what police found when they arrested Thomas: besides anabolic steroids, he was selling prescription painkillers including Valium and was in possession of several guns. This is hardly a reputable, door-to-door equivalent of a pharmacy.

Thomas was also linked to Washington area Chiropractor Douglas Nagel. Nagel had treated players from the NHL’s Washington Capitals and MLB’s Washington Nationals, and is alleged to have prescribed them steroids which he obtained from Thomas. Both leagues ban the use of performance enhancing drugs and, although Nagel is suspected of buying steroids with the intent of using the substances to reduce healing times for the players, the fact remains that his alleged actions were illegal and place the players in violation of their respective league’s substance abuse policy. Charged with a single count of conspiracy to deliver a controlled substance and seven charges of solicitation to deliver a controlled substance, Nagel is currently awaiting trial.

The activity of Thomas and Nagel and the involvement of multiple professional athletes is indicative of the underground nature of performance enhancing drugs despite widespread use. At this point, steroids for sale in the US are often suspect and potential buyers of the drugs are strongly encouraged to work with their doctor and reputable suppliers.

About the Author: Lawrence Kreger of Advanced Health Consultants is an expert in the field of performance enhancing drugs and tracks many of the web sites and alternate methods that athletes turn to when trying to find anabolic steroids for sale. Kreger has been quite vocal in pushing the idea that the Genie is out of the bottle, so the best policy at this point is to lay off on the bans and instead focus on product quality, medical supervision and education about using steroids. According to Kreger, if buying steroids were legitimized, any criminal element involved in distribution would disappear, playing fields would be leveled and athletes would be less likely to undertake risky programs.
