Police On Anabolic Steroids To Gain The Upper Hand

he has good shoulders apparently

Memo to self: Don't ever mess with Dana. He sounds like he knows not just Maryland cops on first name basis but Secret Service and FBI types as well.

Personal basis actually. One of them took me down to the delta force training center to workout there. Really cool facility.

I know tons of cops on AAS, GH, etc... A lot of them powerlift and the others compete. The cops that use it to "have an advantage over the general public" are the retarded ones. They will almost always get in trouble. Majority of these people become cops just to be in control (gun and badge makes them Superman). Unfortunately this exists, but thankfully majority of the cops I know and deal with aren't like this.

They key issues here is proper use vs abuse. Any cop can pretty much diffuse any situation if they use their words properly (which is what you're trained to do).

The cops that run gear and are big don't generally get messed with. It's the whole image of a suspect seeing a big 260lbs cop walking towards them. The usual thought that comes to mind is, "This guy could probably fuck me up if I piss them off. Better keep calm and not fuck up."

I have no issue with cops on steroids. If you're using it to look good, feel good, compete, powerlift, etc... so be it, and be smart with it.

Lastly, majority of the commanding officers don't care if you take steroids. It takes too much time and effort to drug test the officer and then prosecute them. Now, if you're a complete dick to your fellow officers and to your CO, then you're fucked lol

I don't care who does roids, it should be legal.

I have a problem with a cop doing illegal drugs and then busting people for illegal drugs. It is morally wrong.

They want to do roids and turn their head when they catch adults doing drugs, cool. I doubt that is the situation. Just my opinion.

[Bouncer]

you guys know the guy that took out bin laden? the seal team 6 guy? well who do you think he got diet advice from leading up to that mission? exactly...

bwahahahahaa

On the grand scheme of things. Anabolic steroids should be the last drug to be busted. There are worse drugs out there. Herion, cocaine, lsd, etc...

[Bouncer]

weed and steroids should not be illegal. it's a political/money thing that they ever were made illegal.

legality certainly isn't based on level of danger to the individual or the public. everyone knows alcohol and cigarettes cause more death and destruction in 1 week than steroids or weed has in it's entire existence.

Really? Should be illegal=illegal. That is what they teach to us common citizens.

Law enforcement should follow the law. They were not forced into that profession. It is hypocritical. If they get to pick and goose which laws are important, than I should be allowed to also.

Should it be legalized?

Ive noticed they look the other way with aas when its for personal use.

[AvidFisherman]

All I'm saying is that I don't see how AAS can help a policeman in ANY way. You don't win an argument with a criminal with a bicep measuring contest.

One of my best friends dad's is a retired cop and now a retired professor. I took one of his classes and he got off topic and started telling us how he and several other officers were trying to takedown a drunk enraged bodybuilder at a social club. It took 4 of them to finally subdue him.

Where I live you only hear about heroin, meth, coke, pot and driving under the influence. Never have I heard about a steroid bust. It doesn't make me any less paranoid though. :retard:

[BlueApple]

So cops can use illegal drugs and get away with it huh. What next will they be able to get away with assault and murder? Oh wait.....

Ex-Newtown cop blames steroid arrest on ‘body building culture’

NEWTOWN — A former police sergeant who is facing nearly six years in prison for manufacturing and distributing steroids claimed in court papers filed this week that his involvement with the drug grew out of “bodybuilding culture.”

Steven Santucci, who resigned from the department shortly after his arrest in May 2015, plead guilty in December to one count of conspiracy to distribute anabolic steroids and one count of conspiracy to launder monetary instruments. He faces nearly six years in prison during a federal sentencing hearing scheduled for Aug. 25

Police said Santucci was at the center of a drug ring that received shipments of steroids ingredients from China since 2011 and manufactured and distributed large quantities of the substance to bodybuilders in local gyms. The federal probe also revealed certain members of the group were distributing cocaine and prescription pills, including oxycodone.

In a sentencing memorandum filed with the court this week, Santucci claims his abuse of the drug began nearly a decade ago when his efforts at the gym failed to give him the results he desired.

“Around age 30, Santucci turned to steroids to get an edge so that he could develop the body image he desperately sought,” the court document states. “Santucci himself explained that he has always been a fitness guy and he wanted to be a weight lifter.”

Due to the expense of the drug, the document claims that Santucci began importing raw materials from China to manufacture steroids for his own use. While the former police officer never planned to distribute the drugs, according to the document, others at the gym took notice of his use and asked to buy some.

“By the time of his arrest, he was selling to nine or 10 individuals,” the memorandum claims.

The document also claims that the decorated police officer became involved in the illegal activity, in part, because of the level of acceptance of steroid use in the body building community.

“He got lulled into believing that what he was selling was ‘just steroids’ and it was ‘no big deal,’” the document states.

However, federal prosecutors claim Santucci used the proceeds of the drug sales to fund a lavish lifestyle that included more than $300,000 he spent on first class trips to Europe, South America and Africa, including a $30,000 safari. Authorities said Santucci also spent more than $23,000 of the drug proceeds on Celebrity Cruises.

While prosecutors have called for a sentence of between 57 to 71 months in prison, Santucci’s lawyer is asking for a sentence “well below” the recommendation, due to his “exemplary life and a life characterized by a high degree of public service.”

Santucci was honorably discharged from the Connecticut Army National Guard prior to joining the police force and was presented with the Chief’s Service Award two years ago.

Ex-Newtown cop blames steroid arrest on

[Scrumhalf]

A law enforcement officer thinks it's"no big deal' to break the law? Great.

Guy should get the max, not a lenient sentence.

[MattG]

I like how he claims he was just selling to 9 or 10 gym buddies...then it says how he spent $300k on trips overseas.lol. Dude was probably on a source board with hundreds of customers
