[SIZE=-1]Daniel McGlone had earlier pleaded guilty to his role in a wide-ranging scheme to distribute steroids and human growth hormones to customers who ordered the drugs over the Internet or from ads in body-building magazines. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=-1]Before being sentenced, he apologized to his daughter and those he sold the drugs to in a statement read by his lawyer, Robert Mann. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=-1]Prosecutors say McGlone made more than $860,000 from steroid and HGH sales arranged from 2003 to 2006 through American Pharmaceutical Group, a business he operated from his New Brunswick, N.J., home.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=-1]Under the scheme, he would solicit prescriptions from doctors, including two sentenced in 2007 for their roles. One, Ana Maria Santi, of Queens, N.Y., had prescribed 84,000 doses of steroids and HGH to 400 customers of pharmaceutical sales companies, including McGlones, prosecutors said. McGlone would then forward those prescriptions to compounding pharmacies, which would deliver the drugs to customers throughout the country, including Rhode Island. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=-1]One of his customers was James Proulx, a former corrections officer who had been prescribed muscle-enhancing drugs in the months before he punched state Trooper Brendan R. Doyle in the face, nearly killing him, Assistant U.S. Attorney Adi Goldstein said. A side effect of the drugs can be rage and increased aggression. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=-1]Proulx is expected to be tried later this month for allegedly assaulting Doyle. Proulx is the only end-user identified by the government.[/SIZE]
