Former Mr. Universe Busted for Steroids and HGH

Milos Sarcev, a prominent California bodybuilder and former Mr. Universe was indicted last year in an alleged conspiracy to import illegal steroids and possesion of human growth hormone (HGH) from Thailand. Sarcev was indicted along with two other men, Dennis Tyron James and Admir Kantarevic, by a federal grand jury in Des Moines, Iowa.

Sarcev, who in addition to holding numerous bodybuilding titles, has graced the covers of all the bodybuilding magazines over the years. Sarcev is friends with Victor Conte Jr., the president of the infamous Balco Labs. Conte faces federal drug and money laundering charges himself in San Francisco. Sarcev stood up for Conte back when Conte's indictment was announced by U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft. Sarcev designed workouts for some of Conte's prominent clients.

Federal court papers filed in November in Des Moines charge Sarcev, James and Kantarevic with a conspiracy to import anabolic steroids between February and April 2003. Kantarevic alone is charged with possession with an intent to distribute.

Last week, on Friday June 24, 2005, U.S. District Judge James Gritzner granted a motion made by Sarcev and James to have their trial separate from defendant Admir Kantarevic.

All three were scheduled for trial July 6 in federal court in Des Moines. But Rick Collins, attorney for James and Sarcev, argued for the separation based on incriminating statements Kantarevic made to investigators after his arrest.

If all three were tried together, the statements could infringe on the Sixth Amendment rights of Sarcev and James to confront their accuser and confuse the jury, Collins said.

Sarcev's home was raided last year. Federal agents seized his computer and other items. Collins has denied that Sarcev is a steroid dealer. Collins stated he has, "yet to see a shred of proof that my client had anything to do with this case."

Reports of a grand jury investigation into bodybuilding surfaced over a year ago, when grand jury subpoenas were handed to a number of bodybuilders at Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's annual bodybuilding event in Ohio. After casting a wide net, the investigation apparently has narrowed down to only three indictments. Sarcev's lawyer, Rick Collins, said he understands the indictment is based on "one single box of steroids that was found in the mail."

The charges carry a maximum penalty of five years in prison or a $250,000 fine, or both, according to the U.S. Attorney's office in Des Moines.

Ya, I especially like this part. One box of steroids and that's it? That box better be a pretty freakin' big box to get charged with dealing HGH and AAS.
