This bust happened years ago in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It involved Axiolabs, its owners and a couple dealers in Edmonton, Alberta that was receiving product from them, So with the recent but of Axiolabs this will be the second time they went down, many say they are down for good as the recent bust was a big hit to them which also involved numerous forums that they ran and were all "forced" to shut down, at this time many of their forums are back up and running. Rumours are spreading that they are back in action with everything re-stocked, this is hard to believe but may be true...we dont know for sure yet, we would advise that you to stay away from all Axiolab gear as counterfeiters will probably be all over this by taking advantage of the situation and profiting from it. So we say again, stay away from their product and their forums as they most likely be crawling with LE, STAY SAFE EVERYONE!
Undercover op nailed city steroids dealer
By TONY BLAIS, COURT BUREAU
An Edmonton man who started taking steroids to help him lose weight ended up being the Canadian distributor in a million-dollar international steroid trafficking ring.
That's what court heard yesterday when Glenn Donald England, a 38-year-old father of four, pleaded guilty to possession of steroids for the purpose of trafficking.
According to agreed facts, England was busted after an eight-month undercover operation by city police and the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) that ended with an Oct. 10, 2006, raid at his west Edmonton apartment.
Police found more than 200,000 steroid tablets, with a street value of between $400,000 to $600,000, 23.5 litres of steroid oils valued at $235,000, $50,000 in cash and packaging materials England used to distribute the illegal goods. There was also evidence found linking England to Irish steroid king Brian Wainstein, including itemized steroid orders on Wainstein's website, names and addresses of customers, courier delivery receipts, phone records, money transfer receipts and computer text messages.
According to the agreed facts, between Feb. 7, 2006, and Oct. 30, 2006, England was in possession of 640,000 steroid tablets and 37.7 litres of steroid oil, valued at from $1.6 million to $2.3 million, that were sent by Wainstein.
City police were tipped to the steroid trafficking operation after the CBSA intercepted a steroid shipment in Vancouver that was destined for an Edmonton address.
Det. Ken Brander substituted the steroid tablets with sugar and delivered the package with a note advising he should be called to smuggle in further shipments.
A week later he got a call from a man Irish police identified as Wainstein and the two made a supposed deal.
According to the agreed facts, over a period of months Wainstein sent Brander 17 packages of steroid tablets and steroid oils from Moldova, Hong Kong and China.
The packages contained 960,000 tablets and 62.8 litres of oil with a street value of between $2.5 and $3.5 million.
Federal prosecutor Joseph Selvaratnam asked for England to be handed 30 months in jail while defence lawyer Jake Chadi suggested an 18-month conditional sentence to be served in the community and a fine.
During the sentencing hearing, Chadi said the heavyset England initially just wanted to use the product himself to lose weight, but then got hooked up with Wainstein.
A sentencing decision is slated for next week.
