He used to go by the handle "annointed" on the boards. At least that's what annointed claimed after he disappeared for a while. I don't know where they get this "Roidraid" guy. I never heard of "Roidraid" but anyway, this guy is in some serious shit. He was arrested 2/21/04 and released 2/26/04. I find that to be very strange. BE SAFE GUYS! These steroid busts are hitting pretty close to home (i.e. Online sources).
Salesman pleads guilty in drug case
CHARGED WITH SELLING STEROIDS ONLINE

David Connerth, one of two men accused of trafficking in illegal muscle-building steroids, pleaded guilty yesterday to federal drug and money-laundering charges.
The 25-year-old medical salesman also agreed to forfeit more than $185,000 in cash, his home in Lexington and another in Versailles, and a Toyota Land Cruiser -- all bought with the proceeds of his Internet steroid business, according to prosecutors.
Connerth, a 2000 graduate of Transylvania University who sold prosthetic knees and hips, was arrested in April after a complex investigation led by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. It noticed suspicious patterns in Express Mail deliveries in Mississippi and Missouri that led to "Roidraid," which was Connerth's Internet alias, and boxes he rented at Mailbox Express and Box Stop in Lexington.
Ultimately, inspectors determined Connerth had mailed between 2,500 and 5,000 doses of illegal steroids through the mail and other services like Federal Express. He admitted yesterday that he used a woman in Missouri to ship the drugs and accept cash payments, which she would then deliver to Connerth.
Lexington police also arrested Connerth's housemate, Mark Pirschel, a University of Kentucky senior at the time; his case is pending in state court. His attorney, Lee Rowland, has said Pirschel was Connerth's roommate and nothing more.
According to statements yesterday by Assistant U.S. Attorney Kevin Dicken, Connerth spent $50,000 of his illegal profits as the down payment on a $245,000 house on Altamount Drive in Versailles as well as on a home on Kavenaugh Lane in Lexington and on his Land Cruiser. In addition, the police found $125,000 in cash in a safe deposit box Connerth had at National City Bank, more cash in a secret compartment in his bedroom dresser and still more in other locations.
Burl McCoy, Connerth's attorney, said yesterday that his client will probably have to serve slightly more than a year in prison.
