Iron Addicts Gym Raided by DEA – Owner Arrested on Steroid-Selling Allegations

Ask Question?

An owner of a popular Miami gym was arrested, Wednesday morning, for allegedly distributing millions of dollars worth of steroids.

Ten people were arrested on warrants for selling anabolic steroids, including Richard Rodriguez, a part-owner of the business.

Update 3 p.m.: Federal agents have charged Richard Rodriguez and eight others in Miami and Phoenix with running a massive illegal steroid operation. Rodriguez and his cohorts would buy illegal steroids from China, repackage them in Phoenix and then sell them through Rodriguez’s Miami-based website, prosecutors say. “The defendants made millions of dollars through the illicit online sales of anabolic steroids,” says United States Attorney Robert L. Capers.

Iron Addicts was founded by famed bodybuilder C.T. Fletcher. A search of Florida records shows that the Miami location is co-owned by Richard Rodriguez, Ahmed Dawoud, Mike Rashid and Pedro Rodriguez.
