In his latest effort to bring his former employer to its knees, former Pfizer exec Peter Rost has filed a new lawsuit contending the drugmaker violated the New Jersey Conscientious Employee Protection Act by firing him after he told the feds about illegal marketing activities concerning the Genotropin human growth hormone. The move comes six months after a federal judge dismissed the whistleblower lawsuit that Rost filed against Pfizer, although a federal appeals court subsequently left the door open for Rost to file his latest action in a state court venue (see here). And so he is seeking a trial, which raises the tantalizing possibility that the long-running saga will finally get a public airing, and unspecified damages. For those who may...

This time, the culprit is GeneScience Pharmaceutical, a Chinese company that has pleaded guilty to illegally distributing human growth hormones in the US. Also copping a plea was Lei Jin, the ceo and founder, who is on probation for five years. The deal, in which GeneScience pleaded guilty to a felony while Jin pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor, requires a $3 million payment to a “Clean Competition Fund” for supporting drug-free sports and forfeiting another $4.5 million to the government, according to court documents. The move, by the way, comes three years after GeneScience was charged following a scandal over international trafficking of illegal body-building drugs, including steroids. Known as Operation Raw Deal, the US government crack...

Do you know why? #MicroPollDiv_264562 { width: 250px; margin: 0px auto; } Answer to Yesterday’s Question: Human growth hormone (hGH) sounds like a mad-scientist serum that’s used to grow pod people, but it’s actually a naturally-occurring hormone that builds muscle, burns fat, raises energy, and maintains lower blood sugar levels. Arginine, an amino acid, supports healthy levels of hGH. Which foods contain arginine: Pecans, broccoli, cottage cheese, collared greens, or water...

How hard is the work?  It takes motivation and consistency to achieve and maintain results on your own. If you were a one-time sun worshiper, you won’t see an immediate change unless you are willing to invest in cosmetic surgery or spa treatments.  If you have good skin right now, keeping it is relatively easy. A person’s lifestyle can affect their appearance as much as anything else.  Researchers have known for years that cigarette smoking, lack of sleep and overexposure to sunlight contribute to a prematurely aged appearance. So, the first steps are preventative measures that will allow your skin’s natural reparative proce...

It’s also a good starting point because baseball has always induced the nostalgic sandlot memory-lane-strolls of aging white men like Doris Kearns Goodwin. And the season goes on for-freaking-ever, so you can knock all three books out of the park by the All-Star break (July). The Natural by Bernard Malamud The Stats: For all the ink spilled about America’s “national pastime” (the one the NFL usurped about 30 years ago), there are very few great baseball novels. The Natural is one of them. You’ve seen the movie; you know the story. A 19-year-old prodigy, Roy Hobbs, gets shot by a mystery woman, drops out of sight, then magically reappe...

Studies are showing that excess levels of HGH can cause some pretty serious health problems. Human Growth Hormone effects many areas of the body which includes effecting the maintenance and function of pancreatic islets. So does this mean that everyone who has used HGH will develop diabetes? Coach Wade Wilson of the Dallas Cowboys did. No. When used appropriately human growth hormone will most likely not up your chances for developing diabetes. But, we’re not really talking about using human growth hormone appropriately are we? We&#82...

And so the agency will soon be issuing proposed guidelines for stiffening sentences. The move reflects, most likely, the headlines generated by HGH recently. Three months ago, for instance, Specialty Distribution Servicesa unit of Express Scripts, the pharmacy benefits manager, agreed to pay a $10.5 million fine for illegally supplying patients, particularly athletes, with HGH. The PDMA, by the way, which was enacted in April 1988, requires state licensing of wholesale distributors under certain fede...
