A high school football coach sold a boy steroids without telling him what the drug was, and then conspired with school administrators to keep the drug deal a secret, the student's mother claims in Cumberland County Court.
Tammy Butler says Stone Memorial High School assistant football coach Jim Wilson gave her son steroids after the season ended in the boy's junior year. She says her 17-year-old boy asked about over-the-counter supplements and Wilson offered him pills he referred to as "supplements."
Butler says she paid for the drugs with a $140 check made out to Wilson, believing she was buying supplements to help her son.
"Unbeknownst to Benjamin Dodd or his mother the 'supplements' were actually illegal steroids," the complaint states. "Neither Benjamin Dodd or Tammy Butler knew they were obtaining or paying for anabolic steroids. Had they known, Benjamin Dodd would not have accepted or taken them. Tammy Butler certainly would not have paid for them. ... It is believed other young men on the football team were approached about taking steroids."
After taking the pills, Benjamin Dodd ended up at the Crossville Medical Center, suffering from headaches, chest pains and violent mood swings, his mom says.
