DEA casts wider net in probe of steroids
Agents raided home of friend of accused BALCO lab owner


A professional bodybuilder who described himself as a close friend and former business partner of indicted Bay Area nutritionist Victor Conte is under investigation in what appears to be an expanding federal probe into steroid distribution.

The Temecula (Riverside County) home of Milos Sarcev, a veteran bodybuilder from Yugoslavia, was raided late last year by agents with the Drug Enforcement Administration, a spokesman with the Los Angeles office confirmed Friday.

The news of a probe involving Sarcev, first reported by ESPN, came in the wake of DEA agents appearing at the Arnold Expo in Columbus, Ohio, last weekend to issue subpoenas to several bodybuilders in an Iowa federal grand jury investigation. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who co-owns the bodybuilding convention, was at the event, but it's not clear whether he was there when federal authorities contacted the competitors.

At the expo, Schwarzenegger told reporters he was interested in changing the culture of performance-enhancing drug use in bodybuilding. Later, in a speech to fans, he said the Food and Drug Administration should stay out of regulating the $16 billion-a-year supplement business. Also at the Expo, it was announced the governor would be moonlighting as the new executive editor of two muscle magazines.

1. interesting... arnie gets inserted into the current situation.

Hadn't thought of it... and didn't see the T3 movie... but was he looking overly buff for a man of his age who simply lifts weights and works out... could he have indulged a bit in preparation for the movie? Now would't that be an interesting little twist.

2. Our Great President is saving our country

from these evil steroids. Our Great President said he'd free us from the spector of steroids in his SOTU address and he made good on his promise! Gee I'm glad. I sure need a good night's sleep. I think I'll get one tonight knowing Our Great President is ridding our country of steroids. What the heck! Let's just call off the November election and let Our Great President have another term! Waddaya say? OK??

I've got to quit reading those Bob Boudelang columns.
