[SIZE=-1]Special agent Alex Davis testified Tuesday in the case of Kevin Wayne Tanner.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Mr. Tanner, 40, pleaded guilty to eight charges stemming from the investigation Monday. Crown and defence agree on the basic facts of his crimes, but Tuesday and Wednesday have been set aside for Judge Anne Crawford to hear evidence about details that are in dispute in the case.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Two experts in the field of anabolic steroids testified Tuesday, outlining the street values of the steroids and counteracting drugs seized by police, as well as their potential side effects and how underground labs use internet message boards to promote the sale of their products.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]An RCMP corporal out of Vancouver estimated the total value of the processed and raw product seized from Mr. Tanners home in January 2007 was between $260,000 and $320,000.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Special agent Davis, with the U.S. Food and Drug Administrations Office of Criminal Investigations, who was brought in from New Orleans to testify in the case, estimated the seizure at just under $307,000.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Both men calculated their totals using a list of steroids and other drugs seized from Mr. Tanners Elm Street home and a price list which authorities retrieved from his computer.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]Mr. Tanner has admitted he was producing about 15 different steroids and drugs to counteract their side effects, and that he was making between 150 and 200 sales a year over the internet. Hes also confessed that he was producing steroids for another distributor in Ontario.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]The special agent classified Mr. Tanners operation as a 10 on a scale of one to 10, saying he based that ranking on Mr. Tanners methods of operation and the quantities of raw materials and product seized, and calling it a very high-level illegal steroids distribution operation.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=-1]The case will continue Wednesday when the Crown plans to call an expert in forensic accounting to compare Mr. Tanners personal finances and his spending habits.[/SIZE]
