Actor playing steroids dealer say he is the real thing

Scott Siegel of New Rochelle, who played the role of a steroids dealer in 'The Wrestler', has pleaded guilty this Friday of distributing anabolic steroids and went on to confess that he even tried to run down the agents who came to arrest him.

The confession, which surprises one and all, is expected to bring a prison term of approximately five years for Siegel.

From TimesUnion.com:

Prosecutors said investigators found 1,500 bottles of steroids and thousands of dollars in cash at Siegel's and his parents' homes. When agents moved in on Feb. 18, prosecutors say Siegel sped away in his car, rammed five police cars and tried to run down an officer who was on foot.
Siegel played the role of a steroid dealer who distributed steroids to the lead character, which was played by Mickey Rourke.

The incident has once again put light on the often untalked relationship between steroids and celebrities and affirmed the fact that steroids have entered into lives of many present-day celebrities.
