Corrections officer sentenced for selling steroids to police informant

UTICA, N.Y. (WKTV) – A former New York State Corrections officer who admitted to selling steroids was in Oneida County Court on Friday where he learned his fate.

Zachary Lazore, 23, of Yorkville, will not face any prison time, but rather five years probation for selling steroids to a police informant last July.

A co-defendant in the case, fellow corrections officer, Peter Dinardo, 42, of Deerfield is scheduled to go to trial later this month for his role in the case.

Dinardo is suspended without pay, while Lazore was terminated last year.

New HGH blood test could hurt urine test research
By EDDIE PELLS

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — A new test that provides a breakthrough in detecting human growth hormone in blood is expected to become available soon and make it more difficult for athletes to use HGH without getting caught.

It’s a test some experts consider so good, however, it could blunt the push for the urine-based test sought by some in baseball and football, possibly stalling promising research that has already cost many thousands of dollars.

The new test, called a biomarkers test, scans the blood for chemicals the body produces after HGH use, which are detectable for up to two weeks. The test, expected to be available in the coming weeks or months, is a complement to — or maybe an improvement over — the current test, called an isoform test, which scans blood for synthetic HGH.

In 2008 we witnessed an epic battle between Open Men’s Pro Champion, Toney Freeman and Dennis “The Menace” James in Tampa Bay, Florida. The close fought battle continued a week later in Dallas, Texas where Toney again defeated the hard charging challenger DJ at the Europa Pro for the win! A year later, we would see the return of King James at the 2009 version of the PBW Tampa Pro where he would claim victory and the $10,000 First Place Prize over Canadian IFBB Pro, Fouad Abiad! As history would have it, these two would both proceed to Texas for the Europa Pro and DJ would be victorious again just as his predecessor, Toney Freeman had been the year previous.
