Two St. Charles County men have admitted illegally importing human growth hormone and steroids from China according to the U.S. attorney's office. The two men were also engaged in selling them to other bodybuilders in local gyms.
Keith Ashabranner, 32, of O'Fallon, Mo., pleaded guilty to one charge of conspiracy of possessing and distributing human growth hormone drugs.
From Stltoday.com:
In their pleas, both bodybuilders admitted buying steroids and human growth hormone from China. The men used some of the drugs and sold the rest to other bodybuilders.
The Chinese drugs were shipped here with false customs declarations that claimed they were other, inexpensive goods.
Ashabranner admitted buying roughly $32,000 worth of drugs and making more than $30,000 from the sale of them. Loomans spent roughly $10,000 and made the same amount from their sale.
Loomans may face from probation to six months in prison under federal sentencing guidelines and Ashabranner may face six to 12 months when sentenced May 4.
