David Soares is a political fraud ostensibly promising drug law reform while expanding the costly war on drugs in a different direction. He was elected to the office of the Albany County District Attorney running on a platform seeking to repeal New York’s draconian Rockefeller Drug Laws.

Steroid Witch Hunt in United States Outdone by Australian Steroid Crackdown
The U.S. federal and state government witch hunt targeting steroids users and steroid distributors has reached levels of absurdity. Can it get worse? Yes. Australia offers insight into radical governmental efforts at cracking down on athletes who use anabolic steroids and performance-enhancing drugs (“Secret Anti-Doping Probe,” March 14).

Prosecutor Lists Victor Martinez in Signature Pharmacy Scandal Website
Shortly after IFBB Pro Bodybuilder Victor Martinez won the 2007 Arnold Classic, Albany County District Attorney David Soare’s office publicly named Victor Martinez as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Signature Pharmacy and longevity clinic anabolic steroid scandal.

Steroids in Our Supplements is More Important Than Steroids in Baseball
Uber-lobbyist to the supplement industry, Loren Israelsen, recently forwarded selected remarks from an editorial by Rob Eder of Drug Store News to members of the United Natural Products Alliance. I was dismayed to see Rob Eder (and by extension Loren Israelsen) rave about the good job the supplement industry does at policing itself. “As I […]

Former baseball player and anabolic steroid advocate Jose Canseco was hired as a spokesman for a supplement company appearing at the company’s booth at the 2008 Arnold Classic.

Unintended Consequences of War on Athletes Using Anabolic Steroids

Steroid Fact Checking at the Toledo Blade Newspaper
