Guns + unmarked pills = jail Damn he was just on AM on Thursday or soemthing... Also It would be incredibly stupid to have real steroids, unless they were samples from china. Rick Collins is PAID!!!

You think there is any possiblity the pills are prosteroids? I can't imagine they have had time to have a lab test them this quickly.

I think they were research chems from china, or other countries, he says openly on BB.com on the fit show he tests and travels to find new compounds. Also I agree with BPF a rat always gives one up. I know this sounds ghetto, but STOP SNITCHIN !!!

This is why Author L. Rea and ALRI got completely out of the prohormone business back in Oct. of '05.

Maybe people will start to understand now...

Interesting.

Did you mean prosteroids?

If so are you saying prosteroids could get a person arrested?

Well truthfully if one possesed M1t right now for oral consumption and they were busted, it would be a classIII so maybe he had his past formulas in his house... And some of the newer prosteroids, are how close to banned ones? So this grey area is kinda scary, and the rat thing seems kinda of crazy, esp since the washington post, and the supposed Austrailian bust... gets me thinking ( I know conspiracy, but its kinda of close after that Austrailian bust, and Mexico bust, I know they have to travel in certain circles...)

I'm not sure they even knew what the compound was.

I don't think anyone needs to be concerned if they have a bottle of a compound that is not on the schedule III list, however if you are at Bruce Kneller's and you get busted with guns and thousands of unidentified capsules, don't expect the government to make assumptions in his favor.

So he was running a business called "Red Star Chemicals?" Interesting. Google gave me nothing. Maybe it's a Chinese company.

Do you think sellers for prosteroids could be in trouble? The selling of prosteroids hits close to home for me.

BTW I see your name is in green may I ask what board sponsor you own/work at?

Thanks

Crowler,
I work with ALRI who is no longer on the board.

Do sellers of prohormones/prosteroids need to be worried? Well, considering that even if you are selling something that is not on the scheduled list look at what has happened to others. Balco may be an extreme case, but the government can always pull the conspiracy card.

Bottom line, even if what you are doing is technically legal (or gray at best), if the feds have it in for you - look out!

Author was smart enought to see the this and figured it wasn't worth the risk.

The good news is that I believe there will be a lot of research in areas of sports supplementation that are non-hormonal that will be quite effective. Necessity will drive more research and that is always a good thing.

Steroid 'Guru' arraigned on drug and firearm charges

Bruce Kneller, 37, of 735 Randolph Street in Canton, was arraigned Tuesday morning in Stoughton District court on drug distribution and weapons charges.

The investigation was a joint venture by the U.S. Postal Inspectors, Massachusetts state police, the FDA and the Canton police department.

Kneller's writings on the benefits of performance-enhancing substancea are widely available via the Internet.

Investigators allege Kneller was making the pills himself and then distributing them.

I have this visual of watching "Cops" and seeing the episode of Bruce getting busted peddling gear and guns at his local high school.

I wish him the best, hope it works out. I've always liked Bruce, just cause he's entertainley ripped on people on various forums and generally stirred the pot with his claims and accusations and I get the feeling he's made more than a few enemies in his industry.

This video has a fuller description of the government's case. Apparently there was a tip in 2004 which lead to a multi-agency sting operation where allegedly cash was mailed to a confederate in California and BK mailed steroids. The newscaster says all the charges are misdemeanors but the scheme as outlined involves the use of the mails AND intrstate transport, money laundering and no doubt tax evasion. These are a raft of federal charges.

For those of you who dont know BK is well known in the supplement/prohormone scene. He works closely with Gaspari and has designed (more like looked up) a number of prohormones like Halodrol-50. Most of us thought he was a legit player until now. I guess the easy money was just too tempting. In case you didnt know, Red Star is an up and coming UG Lab....

Well, I think what alot of you fail to realize is that they either already have, or are going, to be tracking and investigating everywhere, even online, that he has posted, including this forum. Everyone needs to be very conscious of what they say on this board and remember that what you say may someday be used against you in some for or fashion. I highly advise using a disclaimer to make sure that everyone in the community knows that when you are post, you are truly posting in jest, and that nothing you say is meant to be, nor should be, construed as truthful.

I just came on to post the same thing. I just heard it on the news. Kneller lived about 10min. away from me. To think I had such a reliable source so close to home...


This really sucks. I hope the 100000+ "steroid pills" were all legal/grey area. As controversial as he may be, BK definitely brought another perspective.

Ya, his loss (if he gets locked up) is a hit to the supplement/prohormone/AAS scene. He contributed a lot to various forums. He was very helpful via PM and stuff too. One less educated poster on these subjects. First PA now BK... greed is the root of all evil. PA's case was much different, this looks bad for BK.

I saw this on the local news earlier. Bruce lives about 10min. from me. I wonder if he is a member at my gym (would be the closest one to him).

This really sucks, and will no doubt bring some unwanted attention here. Fortunately, I have never used anything illegal :D

Guys, he ran a full-blown underground lab (the news said in his kitchen, LOL) where he made steroids and sold them on the internet. His company was known as Red Star of China. I didn't know he was the RSOC guy until I heard it on the news. RSOC was a reputable UG lab that had been operating for several years on the net, they were pretty selective about taking new customers and kept somewhat of a low-profile, but got popped anyway. Anyone with half a brain should realize that if you are going to deal AAS/drugs, you WILL EVENTUALLY GET CAUGHT, I don't care who you are. As for someone ratting him out, well, I don't know anything about how they got him. But BK did make plenty of enemies online, so maybe someone tipped off the authorities. That type of behavior is despicable no matter what the reasoning behind it, but some people are just plain evil. For all we know it was just an undercover agent or could've been a fellow competitor (read: another UG lab or supplement company person who disliked him or wanted his business).

This case has nothing to do with pro-steroids/pro-hormones from what I understand. Red star labs sold a LOT of tabs of dbol, anavar, winstrol, anadrol tabs as well as cialis (which was mentioned in one of the news vids online). I'm willing to bet the 100,000 pills they found were all AAS like the aforementioned. He also made/sold a few injectables; equipose, some high dose masteron, and also something called "sustanon xr dry"-- a blend of different tests--prop, cyp, decanoate that contained arimidex as well (hence the dry label). I got this info from his last/latest list that he had sent out.

I never orderd from RSOC, but I know he was planning a huge sale starting march first and most likely the law enforcment agencies decided to hit him when they were sure he had a mountain of evidence for them to work with. Makes sense that they caught him with so much stuff because from the list I read for the march-may sell it sounded like he was planning on dumping as much stuff as possible. There was a blurb in one of the news clips that mentioned records of over 15,000 steroid-related transactions involving him that were recorded over several years. Not good. If I were a recent customer of his i'd be a little worried, thank goodness I'm not (and if I'd known it was BK behind RSOC labs I wouldn't have wanted anything to do with his stuff anyway).

I hope this doesn't bring more unwanted attention to PH/PS because of his involvement there but AFAIK this case is about his lab and selling roids via the internet. I'm sure one way or another the connections he has to the supplement industry will be discovered and some beyotch like amy shipley will have a heyday with it. Again, I never liked the guy but you gotta admit he was an innovator in the supplement industry and will be missed, presuming he ends up behind bars with all the evidence/charges against him.

Good luck to BK, he's going to need it.

I dunno if this is appropriate or not...but I recommend staying away from any "outlaw" or "Super" boards if he was really connected to Red Star.

For those of you not "lucky" enough to live here in lovely Massachusetts, on the channel 4 news the camera panned over a table of evidence and they showed stacks of labels for Gaspari prohormones, which all appears to be black & white rather than full color. Then some dorky guy with a nasal voice came on and slowly recited some press release, the only substances I remember being mentioned were d-bol and winstrol.
