Myogenix is punished for sale of steroids as dietary supplements

Dietary supplements companies often label anabolic steroids as dietary supplements. Thus, they sell these illegal products. They cheat the Drug Enforcement Administration and customers who get such remedies. As a result, some sportspersons test positive for prohibited substances while they affirm that they have never used any steroid or another prohibited drug. Dietary supplements companies must be demonized for such situations.
For example, Myogenix is a dietary supplement company which is in California. This company admitted that they sold a synthetic steroid that was marketed as a nutrition supplement. It was named Spawn. It was made of the following compounds: 19-Norandrosta-4,9 diene-3,17 dione and 2a,3a-epithio-17a-methyletioallocholanol. So, the supplement Spawn contained 2 steroids but it was marketed as a nutrition supplement.
Myogenix admitted to selling Spawn since 2007 till 2009. Myogenix was enforced to pay a $500.000 fine. Furthermore, Myogenix forfeited $100.000 immediately.
According to the decision of the judge, preparations produced and sold by the company Myogenix will be tested for 5 years by an independent organization. All new nutrition supplements should be tested scrupulously and approved by the FDA before Myogenix may sell them.
In fact, the company Myogenix should be thankful to the lawyer Rick Collins who has defended the company. He defended the owners and other stuff of the company efficiently. Nobody went to jail. This defense attorney was hired to defend also other companies that were linked to the website Bodybuilding.com. These companies also were sentenced only to fines and money forfeitures.
