  • Doctor sentenced in NFL steroids case

    COLUMBIA, S.C. - The doctor who pleaded guilty to conspiring to illegally prescribe steroids to several
    Carolina Panthers was sentenced Monday to one year and one day in prison.

    Dr. James Shortt pleaded guilty in March to one federal count of conspiracy to distribute anabolic steroids and human growth hormone. Prosecutors have said current and former members of the Carolina Panthers were some of Shortt's patients.

    As part of the plea deal, prosecutors dropped 42 other counts against Shortt.

    Chief U.S. District Judge Joe Anderson ordered Shortt to pay the minimum fine, $500, and a $100 special assessment. He also will serve two years on supervised release.

    The maximum sentence for the charge was five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

    Shortt also faces a state criminal investigation in the 2004 death of a Minnesota woman who died three days after receiving intravenous hydrogen peroxide to help her multiple sclerosis.

    The South Carolina Board of Medical Examiners revoked Shortt's medical license in May.

    Anderson delayed the date on which Shortt must report for prison until the conclusion of any possible appeals, which Anderson said were "almost certain." That could mean Shortt won't begin serving his sentence until 2008, the judge said, estimating the appeals process could take a year and a half.

    Shortt has 10 days to appeal his conviction and sentence. His lawyer, federal public defender Allen Burnside, wouldn't comment Monday.

    Anderson said he would recommend that the 59-year-old Shortt serve his time at the prison closest to his family.

    The additional day tacked on to the one-year sentence means Shortt will be eligible to earn credits for good behavior, which could reduce his time served to less than 11 months, Anderson said.

            Not trying to derail this topic, but if I did a cycle it would be fully optimized and tweaked and tailored perfectly.

            I think the bigger problem with steroids is lack of knowlege and prohibition. The two go hand in hand.

                Oh boy this has happened so many times for me too!
                And the guys who do know about PCT and who have done research, like myself, are the guys who decided not to go through with it.

                  Easier said then done. Roids is like a narcotic you get addicted. I have talked to lots of peoepl who say I will do jsut one cyle to see how it does. Then they see the results and its then give me more. Better to just stay away.
