Damn, what a shame. I would be curious what the true value really was.

I just read about that. Said his name is Rees Baron if that rings any bells.
I wonder why news stories about UGL busts rarely ever include the name of the lab?
The fact that yet another steroid lab was busted has very little news value to the community. But the identification of the lab by name? That's useful news.
Perhaps, journalists are accustomed to treating drug busts like traditional recreational drug busts where distribution is local and products are unbranded.
Don't they know that most UGLs distribute their products nationally via the Internet? A UGL bust is rarely just a local story.

Steroid fear-mongering quote of the day:
"“The ripple effect of getting these illegal drugs off the street is huge,” added Curtis Nikel, president of the Crime Stoppers Association of Edmonton and Northern Alberta.
“Often, where drugs are involved, other violent or criminal acts exist also, so the discovery of this very established [steroid] drug lab will undoubtedly diminish ancillary crime in this city.”

Rees Baron: "Canadian CBBF National level Mens Physique competitor and Alberta ABBA Mens Physique Overall Champion during his last week before he competed at ABBA Provincials June 15th 2013."
Rees Baron was busted because someone ratted him out by calling Crime Stoppers. Baron scheduled to competed at the 2014 CBBF Nationals on July 5th and had hoped to get his IFBB pro card. What are odds that it was one of his competitors who called Crime Stoppers?

no disrespect to the members here but i just can't get into the mens physique competitions. Legs are the most impressive part of the body in my opinion.....
It's so sad to see the way mainstream media handles these situations. They demonize steroids, but where are the people who hurt other people because they are on steroids? 25,000 people dying in the US alone every year from alcohol related deaths, and 480,000 from tobacco. Yet the media gets their panties in a bundle with a guy selling compounds that people take to improve their lives, not to get F####d up.
@millard, it's a bitch move but I think the odds are pretty good that a fellow competitor ratted this guy out. Hell back I the day atleast the Olympic figure skater used a bat to take out the competition... That's a classless act as well but it's better than calling LE. Lol

25,000 people is very low for alcohol related deaths. Here is the information directly from the CDC for your viewing pleasure.

Fact Sheets- Alcohol Use and Health
Alcohol Use and Health
There are approximately 88,000 deaths attributable to excessive alcohol use each year in the United States.1 This makes excessive alcohol use the 3rd leading lifestyle-related cause of death for the nation.2 Excessive alcohol use is responsible for 2.5 million years of potential life lost (YPLL) annually, or an average of about 30 years of potential life lost for each death.1 In 2006, there were more than 1.2 million emergency room visits and 2.7 million physician office visits due to excessive drinking.3 The economic costs of excessive alcohol consumption in 2006 were estimated at $223.5 billion.3
