The path to the perfect body and prizes in the bodybuilding scene brought the defendant into the world of doping. Because he sold the drugs to like-minded people, he appeared before the judge of the Salzburg Regional Court on Wednesday and received a suspended sentence.
A body like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Competitive success as a bodybuilder: that was the defendant’s dream. The man from Salzburg now works as a professional driver and is before Judge Philipp Grosser in the Salzburg Regional Court for trafficking in doping substances. “My client has trained hard. And he saw that it was common to use doping substances in this scene,” explains lawyer Leopold Hirsch.
The suspect is said to have sold anabolic steroids, steroids and a number of other active ingredients to like-minded people between 2016 and 2022 in accordance with anti-doping laws: “It has developed like this over time. It was already clear to me that I was not allowed to do that. “But I am only now realizing the true dimensions,” said the hitherto flawless athlete. He started training at age 15 and started taking medications at age 21. Winning prizes also required enormous consumption, the man revealed.
The judge had difficulty awarding the large number of different substances. Ultimately, the court accepted only some of the accused doping agreements. The sentence, which is already legally binding: eight months conditional.
