Ah, remember Richard Rydze? I wrote about him about 11 months ago, and for good reason, as he was convicted of illegally distributing steroids, painkillers, and human growth hormones. Rydze was formerly a Pittsburgh Steelers team physician until 2007, when his offices were first raided due to similar accusations.
I’m writing about him now because he has received his sentence, finally, and according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, he is going to spend the next 10 years in prison. The article notes that it has been one of the longest federal court trials in the history of the region.
