Myogenix tricked customers and DEA, selling Spawn as dietary supplement

Dietary supplements companies often market synthetic steroids as dietary supplements. Thus, they sell these illegal drugs. They mislead the Drug Enforcement Administration and customers that purchase such remedies. As a result, several sportspersons test positive for prohibited substances while they affirm that they have never taken any steroid or another banned drug. Dietary supplements companies should be demonized for such situations.
For example, Myogenix is a dietary supplement company that is located in California. This company admitted that they sold a synthetic steroid that was labeled as a nutrition supplement. It was named Spawn. The following substances composed it: 19-Norandrosta-4,9 diene-3,17 dione and 2a,3a-epithio-17a-methyletioallocholanol. Thus, the supplement Spawn consisted of 2 steroids but it was marketed as a nutrition supplement.
Myogenix admitted to selling Spawn since 2007 till 2009. Myogenix was sentenced to pay a fine of $500.000. Furthermore, Myogenix forfeited $100.000 immediately.
According to the decision of the judge, products manufactured and sold by this company will be tested for five years by an independent organization. All new dietary supplements should be checked scrupulously and approved by the FDA before Myogenix may sell them.
Actually, Myogenix should be thankful to the defense attorney Rick Collins who has defended the company. He defended the owners and other stuff of the company effectively. Nobody was sentenced to prison. This lawyer was hired to defend also other companies that were related to the website Bodybuilding.com. These companies also were sentenced just to fines and money seizures.
