[SIZE=-1]A former Amherst man who admitted distributing anabolic steroids was given three years probation Monday and ordered to pay a $10,000 fine. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=-1]U.S. Judge Michael J. Ponsor also ordered Ryan Shooltz, 25, now living in Quincy, to perform 300 hours of community service during a sentencing hearing in U.S. District Court. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=-1]"You're going to have to eat some humble pie," Ponsor told the defendant, adding the sentence could require eight hours of service every Saturday for the next three years. "That might mean mopping the floors in a state psychiatric hospital or updating files in a community clinic," the judge added. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=-1]Shooltz pleaded guilty in October to three counts of distributing anabolic steroids and human growth hormone after the drugs were discovered in his apartment by Amherst police on Sept. 10, 2004. [...][/SIZE]

[SIZE=-1]Lesser said his client probably earned between $10,000 and $15,000 from his distribution business. He also cited federal statistics that 17,000 people died from abusing anti-inflammatory drugs and another 17,000 had died from cocaine. During the same period, three died from misusing anabolic steroids, Lesser said. [/SIZE][SIZE=-1]...[/SIZE]
