Masters bodybuilding competitor Mark J. Sangiuliano (aka Marc Sangiuliano) was arrested and charged with “second-degree trafficking in a controlled substance” identified as anabolic steroids. MSNBC reports that Marc was arrested by federal authorities; however, the ABC television affiliate in Louiseville, Kentucky WHAS-TV reports that deputies from the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department arrested Sangiuliano at his home in St. Matthews, Kentucky. Court records show an arraignment scheduled for February 5, 2008 in the case of Commonwealth of Kentucky vs. Mark J. Sangiuliano.
Sangiuliano told WHAS-TV that the steroids were for personal use only and that the trafficking charged was related to fertility medications and had nothing to do with bodybuilding; he also stated that he could not afford to obtain from a physician:
The whole thing revolves around me and my wife trying to get pregnant. It has nothing to do with athletics or steroids.
