A correctional officer employed by the Lebanon Correctional Institution was charged and arrested on four counts of “abusing steroids.” The steroid abuse charges are based on the discovery of “seven vials of anabolic steroid and 16 packs of anabolic steroid tablets” in his apartment (“Corrections officer arrested for steroid abuse,” June 11).
The State of Ohio has apparently codified their steroid laws such that steroid possession is defined as steroid abuse. I guess that is Ohio’s way of settling the debate of steroid use versus steroid abuse! Can steroid use exist without abuse? It doesn’t matter in Ohio courts; if you’re in possession of steroids, you are a steroid abuser.
