Pharmaceutical Experts To Testify In Steroids Conspiracy Case

After more than three years of investigation into an online pharmacy based in Mobile,AL, the trial of 10 men charged in a steroids conspiracy is set to begin this week.  Brett Branch, who ran a health company that authorities contend illegally sold steroids, is one of 12 people named in the 198-count indictment.  Branch and business owners stand accused of recruiting doctors to write bogus prescriptions for anabolic steroids, which Applied Pharmacy Services filled. Authorities contend that the pharmacy, where Branch once worked as a salesman, filled thousands of prescriptions outside legal parameters.

Pharmaceutical experts Paul Doering, a professor at the University of Florida's College of Pharmacy; and Dr. Gary Wadler, who has a sports medicine and internal medicine practice in Manhasset, N.Y., and serves as a professor of clinical medicine at the New York University School of Medicine will testify for the prosecution.
