It appears that the State of California considers Viagra and Cialis “controlled substances” when the pharmaceuticals are not accompanied by a valid prescription! Court documents reveal that two of the charges against IFBB Pro Bodybuilder Hidetada Yamagishi involve Viagra and Cialis (emphasis added):
Count 7: On or about December 8, 2007, in the County of Los Angeles, the crime of possession of a controlled substance, in violation of business & professions code section 4060, a Misdemeanor, was committed by Hidetada Yamagishi, who did knowingly and unlawfully possess VIAGRA, a controlled substance without a prescription.
Count 8: On or about December 8, 2007, in the County of Los Angeles, the crime of possession of a controlled substance, in violation of business & professions code section 4060, a Misdemeanor, was committed by Hidetada Yamagishi, who did knowingly and unlawfully possess CIALIS, a controlled substance without a prescription.
Granted, they are misdemeanor charges. But who would have considered Viagra and Cialis controlled substances. Do they meet any of the traditional criteria for controlled substances under the law?
Hidetada Yamagishi’s defense attorney provided court documents to Flex Online including details of steroid-related charges against him. The court documents provide details of the anabolic steroid stack imported by IFBB Pro Bodybuilder Hidetada Yamagishi when he was arrested on his arrival in the United States to compete in the 2008 IFBB Iron Man Pro and 2008 IFBB Arnold Classic as well as other pro bodybuilding shows:
-
Anabolic Steroids: Trenbolone, Testosterone, Mesterolone, Oxandrolone, Stanozolol
-
Testosterone Stimulator: HCG
