I am not saying this guy deserves to go to jail, or anything like that. POLITICALLY speaking, I believe both substances should be legal (and yes, regulated to some degree).
HOWEVER - this guy sounds like he’s very full of himself which I get - he’s a famous powerlifter (albeit not “mainstream famous” compared to other sports)…well maybe not full of it, but rather arrogant in some statements I have read. Which is TOTALLY COOL with me. However again, you put yourself out there like that, especially in a sport like powerlifting, you gotta figure, just like any celebrity/public figure type - you may just get some undeserved, but nevertheless “close observations” on your lifestyle, etc. Who knows how folks found out? Well, it appears he grows pot and sells it and makes AAS and sells it. I have heard of brewing your own, but this sounds like a guy who sells AAS too. Even if that is not the case, growing pot, keeping inordinate amounts of cash laying around and huge amounts of AAS, and living in an apartment (vs. the seclusion of a home) - all sound like recipes to draw some attention to ones self.
Plus who knows, how do we not know one of his customers, or close friends did not rat him out? The point is, the police did not just randomly pick him out with a search warrant.
Now - alll that said, I do think all this should be legal, etc. But the fact is, it Ain’t! So he did not sound like a low-key type of guy to me, so on some level, he’s got himself to blame - not the “laws” which he broke.
I hope he gets off light and serves no time. I really do. But I am guessing he’s gonna get a harsh deal, given the amount the media is portraying him to have of both substances.
ACTUALLY - the more I read up on this A-Hole - i am surprised he was not busted sooner, which is to say, AGAIN for the same shit. F this a-hole…
