A federal judge in Columbia will consider a sentence longer than the six month guideline for Dr. James Short who pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute anabolic steroids and human growth hormone to NFL players. Assistant US Attorney Winston Holliday argues for a longer term, citing 139 authorized steroid prescriptions and hundreds of milliliters dispensed between 2001 and 2004, while Short’s sentencing is set for July 17.
