LOS ANGELES (AFP) - A California man trafficked 5.8 million dollars in counterfeit pills made to look like the sexual enhancing drug Viagra, a court heard. ADVERTISEMENT click here
Frank Fu Jen Huang, 59, was sentenced in Los Angeles to a potent 2,500 hours of community service after he pleaded guilty earlier this year to charges of conspiracy, trafficking and making fake drugs.
Prosecutors said Huang and a co-defendant, David Srulevitch, began making fake Viagra in 2002 after it became too difficult to get counterfeit Viagra made in China past US Customs.
After their shipments from China were intercepted by customs officers, the pair made about 700,000 counterfeit tablets of the anti-impotence drug in a California laboratory where Srulevitch worked.
Srulevitch pleaded guilty in September to selling a counterfeit drug and received a suspended sentence of five years probation.

What happens when Steve Spurrier takes Viagra?
He gets taller!
hehe...have you seen it ?
His defense must have fallen flat.
The old guy looks at him and says, "What, and give up Viagra?"
LOL!
Should have been a stiff sentence to hard time, but it looks like it wasn't.
"hehe...have you seen it ?"
Are we talking about the product here, or the effect??
all answers on FR are optional :)
I think I'll opt out...
I hear the penalties are pretty stiff for this ...
yah, he could end up doing some hard time.
I'm disappointed that they didn't give him hard time.
Oh, man, three times that joke was posted before me. Should read all the responses.
Although it is not publicized, John Kerry uses Viagra.
One afternoon, while he was on Teresa's yacht, she calls him to say that she will helicopter out to the yacht in an hour and orders him to be ready. He dutifully takes a Viagra pill.
Ten minutes later, Teresa calls to say that she has more shopping to do and will be there four hours late....Too late for that Viagra.
Kerry cell phones his Doctor, an old friend, to ask if it's safe to take a second dose the same afternoon but his doctor says, "No".
"Rats!" says Kerry, "I wasted one of the three Viagras I have left in the pill bottle."
"Well, you don't need to waste it, John." the Doctor chuckles, "I saw that French maid you have on that yacht."
"Doc" replies Kerry, "I don't need Viagra with the French maid."
good one.
