Bodybuilder Goes Free Because He Was Hard-Working and Industrious Steroid Dealer

Omagh Crown Court Judge Geoffrey Miller QC sentenced Bak to two years in jail but suspended the sentence for three years.

Judge Miller was impressed by the “well planned and well organised” underground lab (UGL) that Bak had set up for the production of anabolic steroids. The competitive bodybuilder had acquired an industrial pill press capable of producing thousands of tablets per day. He had ordered empty 1,086 glass vials. He had already solicited customers orders which were found on his computer and mobile phone. And he had attempted to import at least 1.72 kilograms of raw steroid powders from China.

Police believed that Bak was ”about to embark on moving his production to a higher level, to a commercial scale”.

What kind of judge would want to punish that type of sheer industriousness?
