Government going after Ergopharm's and Proviant Technologies assests.

The federal government seeks to seize the headquarters of an Illinois company that makes a nutritional supplement alleged to contain an illegal steroid, after a federal agent bought several bottles of the stuff at a General Nutrition Center store in Nashua last year, court records show.

"The DEA conducted a chemical analysis of the capsules from both bottles which revealed that they did, in fact, contain androstenedione," the complaint states, adding, "Invoices obtained from GNC showed the sale and shipment of 6-OXO Extreme from Proviant Technologies . . . to GNC in November 2008."

The government seeks "to forfeit and condemn" the property in Champaign, Ill., which is owned by Market Street Investment Group, another corporation owned in turn by Patrick Arnold, a chemist who heads Ergopharm.

It seems Patrick Arnold's bad luck never ends, perhaps he should move to China and brew his revenge on the sports world.
