Ryan Grace gained respect as an assistant coach for Charlestown High in Indiana. All the goodwill he built came crashing down Wednesday when he was arrested for possession of steroids which he allegedly smuggled in from across the globe.
As reported by Louisville Fox affiliate WDRB, http://www.wdrb.com/story/35272996/high-school-football-coach-arrested-in-drug-roundup-apologizes-to-community in Floyd and Clark counties in Indiana called “Operation Icebreaker.” After he was seen picking up an illegal package at the post office in Jeffersonville, Ind., authorities gained a search warrant for his house.
That search turned up a disturbing amount of steroids, which Grace said were part of an elaborate personal routine which he had been taking.
Here was http://www.wdrb.com/story/35272996/high-school-football-coach-arrested-in-drug-roundup-apologizes-to-community:
… police said they found 40 pills, 85 syringes, 4 glass vials, 30 individual vials, and 23 individual blister packs of steroids listed as Schedule III drugs.
To his credit, Grace was quick to apologize for his use of steroids and insisted he, “never gave any steroids to any kids.”
“I don’t promote any drugs or steroids,” http://www.wdrb.com/story/35272996/high-school-football-coach-arrested-in-drug-roundup-apologizes-to-community. “I’m sorry to the community, and to the kids that I coached, for letting everybody down.”
Charlestown wasted no time after Grace was charged in relieving him of his duties. Whether another program might eventually offer Grace another opportunity to contribute remains to be seen.

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. (WDRB) -
Smuggling in steroids from across the globe. Jeffersonville Police say that's what landed a local high school football coach behind bars.
Ryan Grace was a volunteer coach at Charlestown High School.
Police arrested Grace Wednesday as part of "Operation Icebreaker." The drug roundup spanned Clark and Floyd Counties, and nabbed 41 suspects on felony drug charges.
Most of the suspects arrested Wednesday face charges for dealing meth or heroin. But Grace, who has no criminal past, was charged with possession of steroids.
One day after bonding out of jail, Grace told WDRB he wants to clear his name - and say sorry.
"I don't promote any drugs or steroids. I never gave any steroids to any kids," Grace said.
An arrest affidavit shows Grace told officers "he'd been using steroids for several years, for personal gains only."
Jeffersonville Police say they caught him picking up an illegal package at the Jeffersonville Post Office in late February.
Grace admitted he had "drugs" inside the box, and later told officers they were "steroids." He told police he ordered them online from a company in Thailand.
Inside Grace's home, police said they found 40 pills, 85 syringes, 4 glass vials, 30 individual vials, and 23 individual blister packs of steroids listed as Schedule III drugs.
Officers said Grace "appeared to be humble and embarrassed."
He told WDRB he wants to apologize.
"I'm sorry to the community, and to the kids that I coached, for letting everybody down," Grace said.
On Thursday, Grace was still listed as part of the Charlestown Pirates Football Coaching Staff. When we asked Greater Clark County Schools about Grace's employment status, we received the following statement:
"Ryan Grace was a volunteer coach, and will no longer be allowed to coach at Charlestown High School."
We reached out to Pirates Head Coach Jason Hawkins for comment, but did not hear back.
