Man Sold Steroids At City Gym, Police Says
January 15, 2008
A man charged with selling hundreds of steroid pills to an undercover trooper at a Bethlehem gym told police his full-time job used to be steroid sales but he wasn't into dealing anymore, according to court documents.
Edward Michael Moyzan, 35, of 1225 Main St., Northampton, was charged Friday with possession of a controlled substance and possession with the intent to deliver. He was arraigned before District Judge Wayne Maura of Bethlehem and is free on $50,000 unsecured bail.
Court documents say an undercover state trooper bought two bags with 300 pills that tested positive for steroids. Police said the steroid buys happened in November 2006 and January 2007 at Gold's Gym, 2138 W. Union Blvd.
State police in Bethlehem could not be reached for comment to determine why it took so long to file charges. Neither Moyzan nor a representative from the gym could be reached for comment Monday.
According to court documents:
State police began investigating the gym in September 2006 after a complaint of an illegal steroid distribution at the gym by members, including Moyzan.
In November of that year, an undercover officer met with Moyzan at the gym and asked for a price of ''d-bol,'' a steroid by the name of Dianabol. Moyzan asked what he hoped to accomplish, and the agent said he wanted to gain mass and had hit a plateau.
Moyzan suggested a regimen of a 10-week cycle of two different kinds of steroids. He said the two different types of steroids would cause less liver damage and were less expensive than they were years ago.
Moyzan said the undercover trooper should take five pills a day and he would charge $300, twice as cheap as other suppliers, the documents state.
''[Moyzan] said that's the price he offers to friends because he was not into dealing … anymore,'' the papers state. ''He said he used to sell steroids as his only source of income.''
On Nov. 16, 2006, Moyzan and the undercover trooper exchanged the money during a handshake, and Moyzan said he could find the pills inside a locker at the gym.
Police recovered a bag with more than 200 steroid pills.
On Jan. 9, 2007, the trooper wrote he saw Moyzan at the gym and was asked if he wanted to try ''Var,'' another type of steroid. Moyzan arranged for another buy a few days later for $325.
Police said they met with Moyzan in the gym parking lot and made the drug buy at Moyzan's girlfriend's car. Moyzan again told police he used to sell steroids as his sole source of income but now had a good job and helped out only a few people, mostly friends.
Police said the buy involved 100 steroid pills.
