Bodybuilder pleads guilty to selling anabolic steroids

A bodybuilder who got involved in the sale of anabolic steroids in Cork pleaded guilty to the offences yesterday at Cork Circuit Criminal Court.

Judge Gerard O’Brien described the practice as dangerous and irresponsible and was particularly concerned about evidence that the active component of two of the drugs could not be identified on forensic examination.

Liam Quinn, aged 32, of 5 Evergreen Close, Evergreen St, Cork, was interested in bodybuilding from his teenage years and began to use anabolic steroids as a means to growth promotion and performance enhancement.
