 Customers Become Focus Of Steroid Probe - Hartford Courant
Customers Become Focus Of Steroid Probe Hartford Courant, United States U.S. Attorney Kevin O'Connor wants to know whether children or teenagers, coaches or teachers were among the patrons. The case is a local offshoot of an international steroids crackdown that has netted dozens of arrests. [...] The use of the MySpace site "raises a red flag that they are trying to market to minors," O'Connor said Monday at a press conference. He said agents will work to identify the buyers, an unusual step because possession of a small amount of steroids is a misdemeanor that federal law officers do not normally pursue. "But they're going to get a knock on the door, just to wake some folks up. If they're minors, then we have an obligation to let their parents know," O'Connor said. [...] "This is a public safety issue," O'Connor said. "That's one reason we want to do this outreach [to the buyers]. There could be all sorts of health concerns."
