MOBILE, Alabama - A Colorado businessman has pleaded guilty to
steroid charges in what prosecutors describe as a $4 million
distribution scheme that allegedly operated in at least 10 states.
James A. Abernathy of Colorado Springs, pleaded guilty last week
to conspiracy to distribute steroids and money laundering. The
Mobile Press-Register reported Abernathy's plea Monday.
He had faced trial along with 11 other defendants after an
investigation focusing on Applied Pharmacy Services, which was
based in Mobile and allegedly sold thousands of doses of anabolic
steroids to customers across the country.
Abernathy also agreed to surrender $5,000 in drug proceeds and
money used to facilitate the conspiracy.
The indictments stemmed from a long-term investigation into the
alleged distribution of anabolic steroids to doctors, gyms, health
and workout clubs nationwide
