Under Ground Czech Steroid Lab Busted

Czech Police bust ring producing counterfeit anabolic steroids and other hormone-based drugs for the sports and other markets

Chris Johnstone | 26.07.2011

Czech Police said Tuesday that that they bust a ring composed of ex-sportsmen, body builders, fitness trainers and organizers of competitions in the sector which produced and sold counterfeit anabolic steroids and other hormone-based drugs.

The special unit for combating organized crime (ÚOOZ) said eight Czechs and three Slovaks were arrested after a surveillance operation started in 2010 of their secretive production site in the eastern Zlín region. The action was prepared in cooperation witht the National Anti-Drug Center (NPC).

The tablets, promising success in the conventional sporting and sexual arenas, were sold not just to sportsmen but to people suffering from specific illnesses such as liver and kidney problems and erectile disfunction, the  police said in a statement.

At the factory site, which was protected by sophisticated security equipment, police found hundreds of thousands of tablets. Around 24 kilograms of a blue tablet “for men” — no doubt a Viagra rip off — was discovered on site, for example. Cash totaling around Kč 500,000 was also found at the factory.
The drugs were distributed around the Czech Republic, Slovakia and other EU countries, police added.
Three of the eleven have been detained in custody with the others released on bail. Charges include production and distribution of hormone affecting substances, flouting protected copyright and brand protection, illegal commerce and illegal production and distribution of psychotropic drugs and preparations.
Members of the group could face sentences of between five and 12 years in prison if found guilty of their charges.

Media Blames Steroids For Norway Killings

Now I think we all know that steroids are not the real reason for the killings by  Anders Behring Breivik in Norway. Once again the media fails to get to the real cause of this delusional psycho paths murderous ways. They would rather be lazy and just use the typical excuse for these horrendous murders. Anders Behring Breivik, claimed to be using steroids, so that must be the reason for the murders, according to mass media.

In his manifesto he admits to using steroids (specifically winstrol), here is an excerpt from his delusional rants:

  "So what do I do when I’m not working? I’m in the middle of another steroid cycle at the moment, training hard to exceed my 92 kg record from July. I’m currently at 90 kg and hope to reach at least 95 kg. Perhaps ill even reach 100 kg before I end the cycle in 4 week’s time!:-) I have a more or less perfect body at the moment and I’m as happy as I have ever been. My morale is at an all time high and I’m generally happy with how things are progressing. I may create an ideological Knights Templar Youtube movie this winter. I have some time to invest while I wait for my chemicals to arrive. My sister in Los Angeles invited me to spend Christmas with her, Kevin andmy niece Kaia and nephew Tyler. I’m tempted to visit her for the fourth time but I don’t know if my budget will allow it. My sister supports the fundamental principles of the cause but she couldn’t care less about the struggle and politics in general. They are both career cynicisms and only really care about feeding their own egos. I understand that mentality though as I’ve been there myself. Still, such apathy is the root cause of both US and especially Western Europe’s problems".

In the early days of his manifesto, Anders Behring Breivik, makes reference to possible martyrdom. In my opinion, he was completely nuts as far back as 2002, probably even farther back than that. This excerpt is dated from 2002 to 2006 in his manifesto:

 2002-2006

 "I am required to build a capital base in order to fund the creation of the compendium. I don’t know if I will ever proceed with a martyrdom operation at this point as it simply seems too radical".

Dated Autumn – 2009 – Birthday party, he speaks of going to Budapest for 5 days of hard partying. So along with his lunatic writings, it seems as though our crazy friend is also consuming mass amounts of alcohol. Now does the media blame alcohol and his hard partying on these senseless killings? Nope, it doesn't seem so:

Autumn – 2009 – Birthday party

 "My best friend, Peters, 30th birthday. We are going to Budapest to party hard for 5 days. This is my second trip to Hungary. I really love that country and the people. Clubs in Buda are top notch. Excellent elektronika scene, among the best in the world. Hungarian girls are hot as hell, too bad I have to avoid relationships for the good of my mission. Doesn’t hurt having fun though:D I don’t think I’ve consumed this much alcohol for many years, totally awesome. My best friends, Martin, Axel, Marius and Peter went down and hooked up with another band of Norwegians we have known for some years. One of Martins best friends are Jon-Niclas, really cool guy. He’s a rather well known Norwegian comedian, together with his partner and friend Anders, and a few others. We had a lot of fun down there, the ten of us. Most of us know each other from Nissen High School in Oslo".

Now I am not claiming that alcohol had anything to do with his lunacy either. What I am trying t show here is the media hears STEROIDS, jumps all over it and suddenly STEROIDS are the root cause to these killings. This happens because of the hype surrounding steroids, the lack of education, and the laziness of the press. The manifesto is fairly long, and in my opinion it is far too long for a blog. I will leave a link to the manifesto for those of you who are interested in reading the whole thing at the bottom of this rant.

In his final writings our psychotic friend speaks of drinking wine, and dabbling in whores. He is storing three bottles of Château Kirwan 1979 (French red wine).

 "I decided to bring one to enjoy with my extended family at our annual Christmas party in December. I brought the other flask to Marius` party a few days later and shared it with my friends. It was an absolutely exquisite experience that will not be forgotten. My thought was to save the last flask for my last martyrdom celebration and enjoy it with the two high class model whores I intend to rent prior to the mission".

To the families of the innocence lost in Norway, know that our thoughts and prayers are with you ~ NML 

Manifesto: Anders Behring Breivik 

Defector Claims N. Korea Manufacturing Banned Drugs for Athletes

FIFA faces another doping scandal, just as the soccer battle ends between the USA and Japan. Woman's World Cup news is getting interesting, but does the world really care? I know most Americans want to see high scoring games, 100 mph plus fast balls, home runs smashed out of ball parks, and bone crushing tackles on the grid iron.

A high-ranking N. Korean defector claims the country is manufacturing banned drugs, disguising them as tonics, sports supplements, and giving them to athletes.

The announcement comes just days after five N. Korean female athletes who competed in the 2011 Women's World Cup in Germany tested positive for anabolic steroids.

The defector claims "The Sports Science Research Institute under North Korea's Physical Culture and Sports Ministry operates two plants in Pyongyang's Potong and Sosong districts that produce drugs for athletes. They are disguised as tonics or nutritional supplements" adding that Pyongyang sent researchers to communist countries to study the subject in the 1980's. "The drugs can make athletes strong, but they cannot be detected by most doping tests."

"It is quite common for athletes in North Korea to take [performance-enhancing] drugs. When North and South Korea fielded a joint team during the 6th World Youth Soccer Championship [in Portugal] in 1991, Ri Myong-song, who headed the North's sports delegation at the time, offered drugs to South Korean athletes but was turned down," said the defector.

He adds, the N. Korean military has been producing the AAS since the 1970s at an army hospital to increase capabilities of  its soldiers, and that athletes in the military are the main users of the drugs.

N. Korea is denying the doping charges, claiming injured athletes accidentally ingested the drugs while recovering from injuries, from using an oriental medicine containing musk.

The AP says the latest N. Korean doping scandal is the largest in a major sports event, since top soccer player Diego Maradona was kicked out of the 1994 World Cup in the US, after testing positive for banned substances.

Androgens Linked to Liver Cancer in Men?

I write this article with major reservations on the study. The reason I say this is because for years people were duped into believing estrogen was the cause of breast cancer in women. While estrogen and progesterone in women can cause breast cancer to grow in estrogen/progesterone receptor positive cancer, it is not actually the cause of the cancer. This study leads us to believe that the androgens or the gene controlled by the androgens is the reason for the high numbers of liver cancers in men. I would think that if this was the case there would be a lot more liver cancer in our communities. Then again I am no scientist, but more of a muscle head than anything.

Hong Kong - Chinese researchers at the University of Hong Kong find men are more susceptible to liver cancer due to a type of gene linked to androgen's. A study conducted in 2008 showed that more than 70 percent of men with liver cancer produced high levels of a gene called cell cycle-related kinase (CCRK).

The study showed the gene, one out of more than 17000, in the human body is directly controlled and activated by the receptor protein of the male sex hormone (Androgen).

"This study has a potential clinical impact as it depicts the correlation between androgen receptor and liver cancer development. It also provides an explanation on why men have a higher risk of liver cancer than women," said, university vice chancellor Joseph Sung and research team leader Mok Hing-yiu.

The Chinese researchers studied other risk factors such as occupation, alcohol consumption, and cigarette smoking, looking for reasons men were more susceptible to the disease to no avail. None of these factors could fully explain why mens rate of disease is so much higher.

The study showed that blocking the androgen receptor (CCRK) pathway in mice could significantly reduce tumor growth rate.

The study also showed that men were three times more likely to develop liver cancer than women in Hong Kong. Liver cancer is the third most deadly cancer in the world behind lung cancer and colon cancer, and currently there is no effective treatment. Close to 40 percent of liver cancer is diagnosed in the later stages of disease. The numbers are as high as 80 percent in Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.

In the United States more than 19,000 people are diagnosed yearly with liver cancer, with only 2000 people surviving the disease.

hGH-CTP a Long Acting Human Growth Hormone?

(RTTNews) - Israel-based biopharmaceutical company PROLOR Biotech Inc. (PBTH: News ) is focused on developing bio-better long-lasting versions of existing therapeutic drugs.

The core technology underlying the company's pipeline is CTP technology. The carboxyl terminal peptide, or CTP for short, when attached to a therapeutic protein, extends the time that the protein is active in the body, reducing the required frequency of administration. The longer a protein remains in the system and is active, the more it helps the patient. Therapeutic proteins are also known as biopharmaceuticals. There are 75 FDA-approved therapeutic proteins and more than 500 additional proteins are under development.
PROLOR originally licensed the CTP technology from Washington University in Saint Louis in 2002 for use with only 11 therapeutic proteins. Later in 2005, the company expanded the licensing agreement with the Washington University paving way to apply the CTP technology to all human therapeutic proteins and peptides, except four endocrine proteins - luteinizing hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, thyroid stimulating hormone, and hCG (human chorionic gonadotrophin) - that had already been licensed to a Dutch firm Organon, later acquired by Merck & Co. Inc. (MRK), following its merger with Schering-Plough.
Early this year, PROLOR licensed yet another technology that boosts the half-life and biological activity of small molecule candidates as well as peptides and proteins. The technology known as Reversible PEGylation was licensed from Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel and is believed to be complementary to the core CTP platform.
For readers who are new to PROLOR, which was formerly known as Modigene, here's an overview of the company's drug pipeline and upcoming catalysts...
The company has one product under clinical development and five products in pre-clinical stage.


Human growth hormone hGH-CTP is under phase II testing in growth hormone deficient adults. hGH-CTP has orphan drug designation in the U.S.
The market for human growth hormone is valued at $3 billion and is estimated to be growing at a rate of 7% annually. The current regimen of treating growth hormone deficient adults is seven consecutive daily injections of currently marketed hGH.
In April of this year, the company reported positive interim data from the phase II trial of hGH-CTP. The interim results revealed that a single injection of hGH-CTP can replace 7 daily injections of hGH. The phase II trial in adults with growth hormone deficiency will be completed this year and head for phase III registration trial in the first or second quarter of 2012. 

57 Doctors Linked to Treasure Coast Pharmacy Case

I am still predicting (The Obvious) that this bust will yield big names. The question is when and if the authorities will release them. Recent news reports have said that 57 Doctors were involved in writing prescriptions for Treasure Coast Pharmacy. The majority of the Docs were not even in the same state, and had zero contact with their patients. 30 Doctors were from Florida, and 1 doctor wrote more than 4,400 of the prescriptions dispensed by TCP. 2 of the doctors actually wrote steroid prescriptions for themselves. (Wow, did they ever put their customers at risk)

Officials have not said if they have pressed charges against the doctors, or if they will, but a spokeswoman from Tallahassee indicated the investigation was ongoing.

Officials from the Florida Department of Health, and the United States Drug Enforcement Agency shut down the pharmacies operation on June 28th, after a joint investigation. They claim TCP was one of the largest steroid suppliers in the country, and that it was part of an internet network that shipped controlled substances to customers in the United States, and overseas to Guam, the Virgin Islands, Finland and Canada.

TCP was licensed to do business in 48 states, excluding New York and North Carolina. Officials also say TCP shipped prescription medication to 387 patients in New York and 32 in North Carolina between October 2010 and March 2011. (I guess they were willing to put their customers safety at risk once again for the almighty dollar)

The internet scheme worked pretty flawlessly for quite some time. Long enough to form relation relationships with two well known internet based Health and Wellness clinics.

Mr. Del Toro, the owner and Pharmacist who was in control of TCP was not available for comment at the time of press. Investigators say that the wrongdoing of TCP was company wide and not limited to one employee, or one pharmacist, but had permeated the company as a whole.

Mistrial in Clemens Case

Wow this is great news for those of us who are tired of the witch hunt against athletes and people wanting to improve overall health.

Reggie Walton, United States District Judge has angrily declared a mistrial in the case against baseball great Roger Clemens. The governments case against Clemens has been grounded for at least a few weeks and quite possibly for good. Judge Reggie Walton set a Sept. 2 date for a hearing to inquire if it is at all possible for Clemens to receive a fair trial, after prosecutors showed jurors video evidence that was previously ruled out of bounds! Walton apologized to the jurors for wasting their time and tax payer money, only to call off the trial.

Walton told the jury, "There are rules that we play by and those rules are designed to make sure both sides receive a fair trial,  such ground rules are critical when a person's liberty is at stake.
"If this man got convicted, he would go to jail,"

Prosecutors suggested to Walton that the problem could be fixed by instructing the jury to disregard the evidence, Judge Walton was not buying it. He replied to prosecutors saying "I don't see how I un-ring the bell".

RC and his lawyers are under a court gag order and did not comment to the press as they left the courtroom. Clemens signed autographs and a couple of baseballs for fans, hugged courthouse workers, and shook hands with security officers on his way out. "I say good for you RC"

Bodybuilding Boards Being Hacked?

Well I can assure they are not being hacked, as far as hacking goes, but someone is somehow retrieving passwords from the staff of these boards. The most recent boards to be taken advantage of are AnabolicBoard, SteroidVIPBoard, United-Muscle, IronLifter, BrotherhoodoPain. This so called hacktivist as "Anthony Roberts" wants to call him has taken down most of the forum on BoP and AnabolicBoard, acheiving nothing more than cyber vandalism. Anthony Connors Roberts who has done nothing more than sell out this community, seems to be having a little fun and is supporting these vandals on his site. He is going as far as publishing lies about the boards that were at the forefront of the initial vandalism. Personally if I was ACR, I would have interviewed the staff of these boards before just publishing 2nd hand information.

AnabolicBoard, SteroidVIPBoard, United-Muscle, IronLifter, BrotherhoodoPain, have all been recently hit. The damage done was minimal for some and worse for a few others. We as a community need to get to the bottom of this. These are our homes and the owners and staff of these boards put way too much time and effort into these boards to allow this to happen. They will not continue to keep these boards up and running just so someone with minimal skills can take them down again.

I have heard rumors of who is thought to be behind these attacks. The problem is, there is no real proof as of yet, to go public with detailed information. One thing I will release, is this low level vandal is from San Diego CA. Hit me up at nomorelies@privacyharbor.com if you have any tips relating to our communities latest problem.

Thoughts Relating to Treasure Coast Pharmacy Bust

A few days after the TCP bust, and I cant stop thinking how many big names this is possibly going to reveal. In the days of perjury trials or "Witch hunts" as one might call them, against professional athletes, it is scary to think how many professional athletes may be the next targets of the Feds, because of a bust of this nature.

Today, Roger Clemens is expected to face lead investigator John Longmire of the FBI at the federal courthouse in Washington. Barry bonds was just recently convicted on perjury charges due to the accusations of performance enhancing drugs. Are these the issues that we as Americans want to spend our tax dollars on? Do the majority of Americans really care if athletes use PED's? Personally I want to see tax dollars spent on educating our children, getting dangerous criminals off our streets, fixing our nations highways, and the plethora of other problems that need fixing.. There are so many more prevalent issues that need taking care of in the US today.

Americans want to see 100 mph plus fast balls, they want to see home runs smashed out of  ball parks, and bone crushing tackles on the grid iron. Do we realize there is no NFL with out PED's? Or at least the NFL we have all come to know and love. This is a question we all seriously need to think about. Do we continue going after athletes for the crime of bettering there careers, and their bodies, and giving us what we want to see? Or do we start fixing the real problems in this country?

TCP was a pretty well known compounding pharmacy in the world of sports. It is scary that certain people may need to worry that they legally obtained prescription drugs from their doctors, because of this witch hunt that is actively happening in America. This kind of thing will continue in this country, and it will only become more profound, if we continue to allow it to happen.

DEA and Florida Department of Health Bust Treasure Coast Pharmacy

Treasure Coast Pharmacy, a Florida compounding pharmacy was raided by DEA agents just before 9:00 AM Tuesday morning.Witnesses in the shopping center said they saw DEA Agents draw weapons, breach the front door and remove things from the premises.

DEA spokesman, David Melenkevitz, would only say that this was part of an ongoing federal investigation and no one was arrested as of  Tuesday.

An immediate suspension order, as it is called by the DEA was served to the pharmacy, preventing Treasure Coast from selling any and all controlled substances. The Florida Department of Health also stepped in issuing an emergency order to close the facility. Customers of the pharmacy have been advised to contact their doctors if they need a prescription filled.
