LOS ANGELES (AP) — A man who ran a secret steroids lab in Compton and offered the controlled substance for sale on the Internet was sentenced Monday to three years in federal prison.
Warren Abramson was arrested in Las Vegas last September as he tried to buy firearms. A few months earlier, he was indicted on charges stemming from a 2007 raid at a building in Compton where authorities found what they said was the largest underground steroids lab ever found in the United States.
There, authorities found more than a quarter million steroid doses, weapons, vials and other packaging material for distributing the steroids.
Abramson, a former military police officer, pleaded guilty in January to five counts, including one for possession with the intent to distribute anabolic steroids and three for having unregistered gun silencers.
Abramson was among more than 100 people who were the targets of a global investigation into steroid trafficking over the Internet in 2007. Dubbed Operation Raw Deal, federal agents arrested 124, busted 56 labs and recovered more than 11 million doses of steroids and human growth hormone.
