House arrest for steroid-selling gym boss
[SIZE=-1]Edmonton Sun, Canada [/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Roger Tomasi, 38, was handed a 15-month conditional sentence to be served in the community after pleading guilty to two counts of trafficking a controlled substance.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]A more serious charge of conspiring to commit an indictable offence, relating to an alleged conspiracy to import and sell steroids, was withdrawn by the federal Crown.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Prosecutor Greg Rice told court that Tomasi, the owner of the Bull Pen Gym at 10121 159 St., sold 199 pills of Anavar to two undercover officers at the gym on Nov. 10, 2006, and another 100 pills of the same popular oral anabolic steroid to an undercover officer at the gym six days later.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]The total amount of all three sales was $510, said Rice, adding the possession of steroids is legal, but trafficking in them is not, and a conviction can carry a maximum penalty of three years in prison.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Court heard Tomasi has one prior conviction for selling steroids, and received a fine.[/SIZE] [...]
[SIZE=-1]Provincial court Judge Paul Sully accepted the joint submission for the 15-month conditional sentence after noting Tomasi has strong family support and that he received a positive pre-sentence report.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Sully ordered Tomasi to be under house arrest for the first three months of the sentence and to abide by an 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew for the balance.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Tomasi must also perform 50 hours of community service and take treatment and counselling as directed.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]He was also ordered to have no contact with his two co-accused, Glenn England and Brian Wainstein, who are both still facing charges of conspiring to traffic steroids.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]England, 38, is slated to appear in Court of Queen's Bench Jan. 16 to set a trial date. There is a warrant out for the arrest of Wainstein, 43, who is believed to be in Ireland.[/SIZE]
