Nicknamed the steroid guru, Duchaine gained worldwide notoriety due to his outspoken opinions on the use of performance-enhancing drugs, and made numerous television appearances discussing the subject on shows such as 2020, Geraldo, and 60 Minutes.

Steroid Nation author and ESPN writer Shaun Assael calls Duchaine a founding father of the steroid movement.

Obviously something wasnt working, and the doctors and the pharmacists couldnt really answer my questions.

This was the start of the quest for knowledge that would eventually land him the title of Guru on the subject.

But after a messy divorce from his first wife left him broke, he met a supplier and began selling.

He started by undercutting the local dealers, then moved into wholesale.

Eventually, he became part of a major trafficking ring from Mexico, and co-founded Laboratories Milano in Tijuana, which was the largest black market steroid manufacturing plant in Mexico at the time.

He pled guilty to the two counts and was sentenced to a maximum of three years in federal prison with five years of probation by Judge J.

In 1991, while still on probation he met up with a friend who was selling gamma-hydroxybutyrate (commonly known as GHB) and began working with him.

One of their customers, however, was an undercover Food and Drug Administration (FDA) agent, and Duchaine was convicted a second time and sentenced to 36 months in prison.

While in prison, he says he learned to make money through legitimate avenues.

Duchaine is also credited with introducing 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP) into bodybuilding through an interview on one of ten cassettes included with bodybuilding magazine Muscle Media 2000.

The New York Times reported that both Voy and Don Catlin of UCLA, who did most of the drug tests for the United States Olympic Committee and the National Collegiate Athletic Association in the 1980s had the book in their files.

By this time Duchaine had published several books in his Underground Steroid Handbook series (co-authored with Michael Zumpano), and referred to himself as a Human Performance Theorist.

A Planetary Collision, one London paper headed the news, and proclaimed Duchaine s opinion that this strange new planet would probably collide with..es it.

I was inclined to be a little lightheaded, I think, with all these dan - gers about and the change in the pressure of the blessed air.

And as he thought of those cobwebs, and of all the dan - gers he had been through, and the manner in which he had been preserve.
