‘Steroids user’s thinking became reckless’

A bodybuilder’s thinking became reckless as a result of using steroids and he ended up supplying steroids and cocaine, his barrister said yesterday.

Cormac Sheehan of 12 Poplar Avenue, Fota Rock, Carrigtwohill, Co Cork, faced sentencing for the crimes yesterday having pleaded guilty to a total of 11 charges at Cork Circuit Criminal Court.

Barrister Donal O’Sullivan said: “He was bodybuilding for many years and taking them [steroids] for many years. He is no longer doing so. He has gone for counselling and gone to his GP. He is working. He is a married man. He has a house and is paying a mortgage.
