A Washington chiropractor has been arrested for selling steroids.
An article in the National Post claims that last year, police intercepted a package from Slovakia containing anabolic steroids. A search warrant was than executed on Florida resident Richard Thomas. The search revealed $200,000(probably not) worth of steroids.
After his arrest, Thomas told police he sold steroids all over the US, and even to professional athletes. Today, Washington chiropractor, Dr. Douglas Nagel, was arrested for seven counts of conspiracy to deliver steroids to the Washington athletes.
Authorities found evidence that at least seven shipments of steroids had been sent from Thomas to Nagel between April 4, 2008 and May 4, 2009.
This is where things get interesting.
First, Thomas was arrested almost one year ago. What was the hold up in arresting Nagel if they have evidence against him?
Second, what is the ‘evidence’, that not only took a year to arrest Nagel, but is so strong they actually could arrest him? They obviously didn’t find any steroids being sent to Nagel, and they didn’t intercept Nagel picking up any steroid packages (that we know of at least).
From what has been given to us thus far, one would assume Nagel was arrest for possibly a) being ratted out by Thomas and b) having tracking slips of packages being sent to his house. It really doesn’t make sense at the moment.
ALSO, it’s amazing how professional athletes rarely use common sense. I’m not only talking about this story, but all athletes over the last decade who have been caught or associated with steroids.
Take the Mitchell Report, for example. Have you actually read through the report with the evidence? There is check after check, evidence after evidence or players buying steroids, or illegal prescriptions from Doctors. Instead of being sheep, and following whatever everyone else is doing, wouldn’t it be common sense to take a second and think, “Hey, what I am doing is illegal, maybe I should take a step or two to cover up my tracks, instead of leaving everything in the open.”
They are professional athletes in the spotlight, with their careers on the line! There are probably thousands of people all over the world buy steroids on a daily basis, anonymously… and yet you hear story after story of professional athletes (who are a very small percentage!) getting caught with anabolic steroids. It takes ten minutes to educate yourself, in what could be a career saving decision
Update March 24: Apparently, both men agreed anabolic steroids were in the seven shipments. Go figure…
