Steroid dealer: A native of Bulgaria who was shipping steroids from China through Thailand to the United States was sentenced to federal prison Friday for 15 months and ordered to pay a $5,000 fine.
ST, 32, was living in Bangkok, Thailand, and, along with co-conspirator KC of China, using the Internet to arrange bulk shipments of steroids to the United States, including Wisconsin.
Agents from the Drug Enforcement Agency set up a series of buys from T over the Internet and a joint investigation involved the DEA, the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the La Crosse Police Department and the Kingdom of Thailand.
T was arrested in January in Thailand and was extradited to Madison to face charges in federal court here.
He asked for leniency at his sentencing hearing Friday, saying the harsh conditions he faced in prison in Thailand should lead to a lesser sentence here.
But U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb rejected that argument, noting his stay in the Thailand prison came about because he fought extradition. She also cited the large amount of steroids involved.
