Florida man pleads guilty in steroid case

PROVIDENCE -- A Florida man has pleaded guilty to selling supplies to steroid users over the Internet.

Bryon Parker, of Delray Beach, appeared in U.S. District Court today and admitted that he sold drug paraphernalia. He faces a maximum of three years in prison, but prosecutors have agreed to recommend a reduced sentence.

A judge set a sentencing hearing for March 28.

Prosecutors say Parker operated a Web site offering the supplies needed to convert steroids from a power into an injectable liquid, including sterile syringe filters, oils and alcohol.

He has agreed to forfeit $250,000 in proceeds from the sales.
