Former Powermedica customers: Customer names scrutinized

[Millard]

IF you were a former client of Powermedica, your medical records were seized by the government. It also appears that investigators carefully reviewed all of the customer names and and, in some cases, may have reported your steroid use to your employers.

Investigators apparently identified celebrities, cops, and government employees. It sounds like they only reported the steroid use of government employees in Florida to their bosses.

It is unclear if any BSO deputies are the target of the ongoing federal investigations. However, some of them hold the ranks of sergeants, captains, and lieutenants. Others are under consideration for promotions and at least one supervised a subsequent and separate internal investigation into steroid purchases by deputies.

That investigation, which is also under internal review, involves 15 deputies who also obtained steroids from PowerMedica, but through local clinics.

According to internal BSO documents obtained by South Florida Times, customers of PowerMedica included celebrities, members of the military, law enforcement officers, firefighters and lifeguards from around the country.

Besides BSO deputies, the list of local customers includes employees from the cities of West Palm Beach, North Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, Lauderhill, Hialeah, Lake Worth, the Palm Beach County School District, Broward County and Fort Lauderdale.

According to sources, those agencies were notified of their employees’ alleged involvement with PowerMedica as far back as 2005, shortly after the raid took place.

“We received a phone call from the FDA and we immediately began our own investigation,” Fort Lauderdale Police spokesman Detective Travis Mandell said. “BSO didn’t send us any records, but our officers were cleared.”

This is stupid. I mean seriously doesn't our government have more important shit to worry about than this? Also, lets think about this for a minute. Do we want a bunch of pussy ass firefighters and cops out there who can't lift two ton tina out of her burning apartment or do we want badass guys who can take care of shit? It's the same with sports....nobody wants to watch 'average' baseball lol.
