There's no public body which certifies personal trainers, so ultimately I'm just a dude with a private certification providing information about training, and related products. As I said, doctors can have their license to practice revoked for questionable prescriptions. I also believe that they could be sued for malpractice in the event of death, or serious medical consequences.
As far as I'm aware in order to aid and abet I would have to (at a minimum) willingly induce the commission of a crime, but that's not what's ever occurred. In sending someone with questions to a doctor I don't see how I'm aiding the illegal provision of steroids when the process in question is entirely legal under the Controlled Substances Act, should it actually occur.

I don't see a problem with what Dogma is doing at all. If he was sending people to a homeopath or something now...

I think its all a "slippery Slope" i just wouldn't want to tell anyone anything that could cost me my job or get me in legal trouble. I can tell some minors an end around to buying liquor as long as they have someone thats 21... but then i'd be helping them get liquor and could (long shot though it may be) face criminal charges.

I've sent people to acupuncturists, if that counts.

Silly man, cricket isn't a sport, cricket is life.
But there are steroids scandals, recovering from shoulder surgery and fighting to be fit for the world cup the great bowler Shane Warne tested positive for a masking agent. He blamed on his mum giving him a diet pill, but the smart money says he was taking something to aid his recovery.
More recently a pair of Pakistani bowlers were found taking performance enhancing drugs. They were punished heavily by the their cricketing board, but the players took it to the Pakistani courts and while it got way too confusing for me to remember after about a year both were free to play again. The younger player is playing in a test against Australia as we speak.

“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

As far as I know there aren't many drugs which help you perform the perfect in-swinger, probably why there are less drug scandals.
But it reflects well on cricket when the worlds second most popular sport really only has one major drugs scandal, besides the odd case of wacky bacci during a west indies tour, but who can blame them for that.
