Although it is not yet manifested scientifically whether “roid rage” is an adverse response of steroids, these medications are blamed for various criminal actions quite often.
Michael Barton, a man from Britain, hit a Ford Fiesta, while he was driving his Volkswagen Golf. Paul Gard was driving the Ford Fiesta. Barton had overtaken Paul Gard. But then he had to pull back in front of him, since another car was driving the other way. Paul Gard flashed him. So, he had to brake suddenly. Barton became angered, stopped his car, broke the wing mirror of Paul Gard’s Ford Fiesta and hit the man in the face. Then Gard’s wife took her mobile and informed police. While she was calling, Barton left calmly.
Michael Barton, a 21-year-old man that has a kid of two years old, applies steroids for bulking results. So, it has been claimed that these preparations affected his behavior. The defense attorney for this young person claimed that steroids influenced negatively on temperament of his client, since these drugs enhanced his testosterone levels.
Previously Michael Barton was convicted for certain crimes, including domestic violence. Last year this young man pleaded guilty to an assault, criminal damage and driving carelessly because of his anger following assaults.
The judge Patrick Hooton at Portsmouth Crown Court Deputy Circuit confirmed that he was not sure that steroids caused the improper behavior of Michael Barton. But he noticed that it was totally mad to become angry and hit a person in the face only because he flashed him. The judge noted that Barton’s behavior was too shameful and he announced: “you ought to go to prison”.
Thus, this young man was sentenced to 6-month jail sentence suspended for a year; he was also enforced to pay 500 dollars in compensation and ?277 for damage of the vehicle.
