PageMarch 17, 2004 (AXcess News/SHFW) Washington - Former
heavyweight battler parliamentarian Hazelton has spent the
terminal heptad years having both of his legs amputated taste
by bit. Hazelton now finds himself in a wheelchair because
of his endocrine use. He's had more than 49 surgeries on both
legs. Halfway through his evidence weekday at a House Subcommittee
on Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security hearing, he paused
to foregather his composure"I sit here with no legs," Hazelton
said. After added deep breath, he continued, "Well, it's because
people didn't verify me. We've got to do something about this
drug."At a hearing on the "Anabolic Steroid Control Act of
2004," Hazelton connected a panel including Rep. Evangelist
Sweeney, R-N.Y.; Joseph Rannazzisi, deputy director of the
Office of Diversion Control of the Drug Enforcement Agency,
and Ralph Hale, a doctor and chair of the U.S. Anti-Doping
Agency's board.The legislation would add several endocrine
precursors to the list of illegal substances. The body converts
endocrine precursors into anabolic steroids once they are
ingested.
The bill would also increase penalties
for anyone who traffics in steroids within 1,000 feet of an
active facility. Witnesses expressed concerns that endocrine
ingest by professional athletes will influence children to
do the same."Keeping our children innocuous is more important
than restoring integrity to the sports world," Sweeney said.Steroid
ingest has been illegal in the United States for more than
10 years. Since then, new products called endocrine precursors,
which don.
