American Cellular Labs pleads guilty and is fined $500,000.

VMG Global, a sports nutrition company in California, pleaded guilty on Wednesday to selling products under the guise of dietary supplements that had been illegally spiked with steroids, according to court documents.

From 2005 through the middle of 2009, according to the documents, VMG Global, which also does business as American Cellular Labs, knowingly deceived consumers and the government by marketing two illegal drug products that each contained a synthetic anabolic steroid under the guise of dietary supplements.

During this time period, the illegal products, called Tren Xtreme and Mass Xtreme, generated revenue of about $5.6 million, the documents said. Mass Xtreme, for example, contained Madol, a designer steroid first identified six years ago during the investigation into the Bay Area Laboratory Co-operative, the documents said.

VMG Global pleaded guilty to one charge of introducing unapproved drugs into interstate commerce with the intent to defraud and mislead, according to a plea agreement filed Wednesday in United States District Court in San Jose, Calif.

As part of the plea agreement, the company agreed to pay penalties of up to . It also agreed to destroy its remaining inventory of the two products.

Rick Collins, a lawyer representing VMG Global, said the company had cooperated with the government to resolve the case in a fair and appropriate manner.

“The felony prosecution and the substantial fine imposed should serve as a warning to supplement companies selling misbranded products that do not fit the criteria for a dietary ingredient,” Mr. Collins wrote in an e-mail message in response to a query from a reporter.

Personally I think spiking a nutritional product primarily used by teenagers is far worse than selling real steroids to adults.

New book from famous steroid case attorney Rick Collins.

"The Alpha Male Challenge is a call to action to all men by it’s authors, James Villepigue and Rick Collins. The Alpha Male Challenge is a 10-Week plan to Burn Fat, Gain Muscle, and Build True Alpha Attitude.

What does this mean? In America today, men are fatter, sicker, more stressed, and less rested than ever before. Too many men have slipped from “alpha” to “beta,” and average testosterone levels are dropping at an alarming rate. In other words, American men are losing their masculinity.

The Alpha Male Challenge is aimed at restoring men to true Alpha Male status – a state of optimum physical, professional, mental and social performance.

This challenge is more than just a diet and workout program for men. It’s a mindset.

SteroidDefenseLawyers finally SteroidLaw has some competition.

"Law enforcement have set their sights upon a new Public Enemy #1: anabolic/androgenic steroids (AAS) and other performance enhancers (PE's). Operation Gear Grinder, Operation Cyber-Roid, Operation Raw Deal, Operation Juice Box, Operation "Farmacia de Juicy Phruit": these are just a few examples of how local, state and federal law enforcement agencies are increasingly investigating and prosecuting cases involving steroids, HGH, HCG, peptides, research chemicals and other ancillary items.

Lawyers William M. Butler, Jr. and J. Clark Baird understand the dynamics of the world of steroids. If you are a "middleman" importing raw powders from a Chinese powder manufacturer to a U.S. domestic UG lab and you are now facing charges, Butler and Baird can help. If you are a small time buyer, just picking up a few extra cycles of Sustanon, Deca and D-bol for your buddies at the gym and you get popped, Butler and Baird can help. If you are a liquid research chemical company accused of promoting illegal human usage of your products, Butler and Baird can help. If you are a "homebrewer" working with some Fina pellets just trying to save yourself some money on gear, and you get charged with trafficking, Butler and Baird can help.

If you are charged with federal money laundering charges for making a few Western Union transactions, Butler and Baird can help. Label manufacturers, peptide companies, UG labs, board operators/moderators, etc.: we understand each party's role in the AAS world, and more importantly Butler and Baird understand the charges that each party can face.

I'm presuming there have been cases of the things I've highlighted in red already happening, if they did it was kept very quiet and I don't recall reading about any of them on any of the forums.

I'm hoping these new guys services are cheaper than those of Rick Collins / SteroidLaw so that more of our readers can afford to get good legal defense should the need arise.
