Patrons at the Iron Addicts Gym in Miami said they were disrupted from their morning workouts Wednesday by DEA agents who raided the facility.

Ten people were arrested on warrants for selling anabolic steroids, including Richard Rodriguez, a part-owner of the business.

Those fake eyelashes should have been arrested as a fashion crime.

Muscle-heads, well, if some have muscles to good to be true, they may be using steroids, that said, it’s a big debate over steroids.

Oh this is probably why they’re too busy to the bus the Sinaloa cartel probably, huh.

oh sure, the main drug problem in America’s anabolic steroids are.

Drive-bys are done all about this all the time, really huge problem.

I prefer gong after other types of dangerous drug dealers.

Steroid users may face their sentences in the form of early death.

But they are not close to the problems of heroin, meth etc.

Moderate steroid use, by knowledgeable people, can beneficial. However, bodybuilders, especially the ones today, don’t do moderate.

They probably got info on it over the transom when someone arrested for some other drug charge told them about it in hopes of getting a reduced sentence.

They usually pick up that sort of low hanging fruit without much fanfare unless they can get a couple of doctors for writing prescriptions for whoever knows the right person to mention and who has the right amount of cash in their pocket.

When you find a doctor who writes steroid prescriptions, he probably writes a prescriptions for narcotics for well heeled addicts or for a ring of people who are selling the narcotics on the street.

One thing leads to another, which sometimes leads to another, and so on.

Upsidasium. Everyone and everything gets high on the stuff. Rocky and Bullwinkle sold it to us as kids.

Don't get 'em started on unobtanium, or their budget will go through the roof.

While you are correct - I have seen some folks who became very dangerous under steroids - minds were not right and were on hair triggers for violent rage attacks - with lots of extra rage strength due to unnatural muscle mass/tone.

It's the same reason why asset forfeiture, originally developed to go after cartel leaders, more often gets used to seize cash of somebody going to buy a car off craigslist. Steroid sellers are much less likely to kidnap agents' kids and mail them back in pieces than the Sinaloa cartel is.

DEA is a total waste. Another corrupt Federal agency that needs to go. Let the states create their own drug laws and the Federal courts can deal with interstate issues.

But no, that was the original intent of the constitution and we can’t have that . Much better to have storm troopers waving the American flag and proclaiming freedom.

Anabolic steroid are dangerous to the individual. But so are cigarettes, alcohol, sky diving, parasailing, football, boxing etc. Let’s ban everything that is dangerous and unnecessary so that we can indulge the sick twisted fantasies of these disgusting storm troopers.

The DEA is dangerous and unnecessary. Let’s ban it.

Yep, at least they have their priorities in order. Personally, I think it’s rediculous that an adult cannot make a personal decision to use steroids if they choose to.
