Sales of controlled substances by an inmate in New York

Ismael Melendez was sentenced to 9-year imprisonment for weapons’ charge in 2005. This man was an inmate there. Recently This man was accused in supplying prisoners with anabolic steroids. He promoted distribution of illegal preparations inside and even outside the prison in New York. This man faces charges of prison contraband, illegal possession of forbidden medications and illegal possession of syringes.
It was found out that Richard Finley, Melendez’ substance abuse counselor, had participated in the criminal activity of Melendez. This person served over 10 years for the Cape Vincent prison. The substance abuse canselor helped him to sell anabolic steroids outside the prison. He was arrested in November 2011. It happened when the substance abuse counselor had caught during selling anabolic steroids to a man in a certain car lot.
Melendez sent his substance abuse counselor to deliver certainprohibited medicines to a client. The purchase was made in a certain shopping centre.
Of course, a question may appear: Why did Finley begin to sell forbidden medications?
Finley admitted why he helped Melendez . The inmate promised to give him HGH and 1500 dollars. It would have been given as exchange for promotion of smuggling alcohol, anabolic steroids and creatine inside the prison. But the substance abuse counselor was arrested by the police and charged with possession of illegal medicines and a hypodermic instrument.
Finley made also another great mistake. He brought his little child of 7 years old, when he was involved in the drug deal. That’s why Finley was also accused in endangering the welfare of a child.
This led to a suspension of Finley from his work without any pay. Thus, this person lost the well-paying work. As it is known, Finley got more than 52, 000 dollars per one year.
The inmate was transferred to another jail. This person continues to serve his sentence.

Laraque’s efforts to become a good sportsman are described in his book “The story of the NHL’s unlikeliest tough guy”

Georges Laraque described his difficult life of sports in a book “The story of the NHL’s unlikeliest tough guy”. He wanted to share his biography with others. Georges Laraque mentioned also about administration of anabolic steroids in the National Hockey League (NHL). These facts about intake of steroids in NHL seemed to be very interesting. The Canadian press published just the quotes related to this endless subject. The rest of the book was neglected.
Georges Laraque pointed out in an interview that he had never used performance-enhancing drugs. Moreover, the author pointed out that he hadn’t mentioned any names of the sportsmen that had administrated steroids. The book is indeed about life of the author.
George Laraque notices about certain ways in order to determine whether a hockey player applies steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs or not. Here are 2 ways noticed by him:
1. A hockey player whose weight has been increased by more than 40 pounds in a short period of time must be utilizing steroids.
2. A hockey player whose weight has been reduced significantly in short period of time to correspond to the indications of the Winter Olympics must be utilizing steroids.
Undoubtedly, all athletes, including hockey players, know that they will be tested for steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs by the World Anti-Doping Agency. That’s why they cease administrating the forbidden medications certain time before the Olympics. It helps them to escape from probability of testing positive for these products.
But this is not the most important idea of the book. The author wanted to show that a child has to put many efforts to become a famous professional sportsman enduring racial intolerance and bullying. But the media doesn’t pay attention on this subject. The media intends to publish stories linked with administration of steroids in sports.
It was not the goal of the author to name the hockey players who used steroids.
Of course, the media asks George Laraque to name steroid users of the NHL.
