Interesting quote...
"People know where I live," he said. "I've already had death threats."
If you receive one.. maybe you blow it off.... if you are a bad guy and stupid enough to ignore more than one, perhaps many death threats, the steroids have rotted your own common sense away....... I would probably move.. get the hell out of Dodge.

He evidently named names on May 21?
The dude sold TONS of illegal drugs in a network and got a plea bargain for probation and cooperation, if I read it right. Bad guys getting off the hook for crimes makes me nauseous. He didn't deserve to get shot, or his GF, but I think he should have been naming names in jail.


Wait... anabolic steroids are illegal? I assume the narcotics officers busting him were busting him for a reason, and whether they were crooked or not... well, I think the source biased, and must be taken with a grain of salt. There are crooked and bad cops out there, yes, but some skepticism overall about all things, especially statements or testimony from a sleazebag is something to keep in mind.


Or I'm talking out my rear again...



Yeah, most likely.

I heard this headliner on the news and immediately thought............mafia/foul play/hit/etc. I hope that it is not true but coincidence?????????

Well, the names he named seemed from the article to be limited to NFL players, so I don't know if the implication is that NFL players were involved in his death or not, but to me that's a little hard to believe.

Not saying they are saints, just saying it's a little hard to believe. From the little info given in the article it's just as possible it was a murder-suicide.

Hey now :bx

This whole thing just exudes foul play. I do know he said something about there are people out there that wouldn't hesitate to put a bullet in his head. :hn

[tym2relax]

He knew before he made a deal to name NFL players that there were individuals that would put a bullet in his head.

What is really sad is his girlfriend was murdered.

I guess they still haven't ruled out murder/suicide :confused:

The ESPN (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3427526&campaign=rss&source=NFLHeadlines)article I read stated it was a homicide investigation. We'll see,

[smitdavi]

Looks like this has turned into a murder/suicide, although they have made no ruling on the woman yet.

All I could think about when I heard the news was the old syaing... "Dead men tell no tales." Yeah, I would have gotten out of Dodge.

[uptown_cigar]

WOW! I wonder which NFL players were involved in this. Players? Coaches? Owners? Seems like someone didn't want him to talk. Obviously, his girlfriend also knew details of his clients.
