Search ends Athlete arrested for jumping bail
United Press International
SAN DIEGO — Fugitive felon and noted weightlifting figure Richard Anthony Fitton has been arrested in Albuquerque, N.M., U.S. Attorney Phil Halnern said yesterday.
A customs agent and U.S. marshals ended a five-month search for Fitton, a British power lifter con-
servative who was among the dozens of uleger steels into the country.
Halpern said in San Diego that Fitton, 33, was tracked Saturday night to a motel room in the hometown of his girl friend, Victoria Lea Steenrod, the women's 1985 World Champion power litter.
The 242-pound Fitton was a power lifting champion in 1977.
He had pleaded guilty in a San Diego federal courtroom last Valentine's Day to smuggle steroids, but failed to show up for his April 10 sentencing, forfeiting a $7,500 bail bond.
Fitton had been arrested in November 1984, along with Steenrod at the Tecate, Mexico, border station with 2,900 boxes of Dianabol, an anabolic steroid, that was concealed in a rented car. Steenrod pleaded guilty to lesser charges and was placed on probation.
In 1982, he was convicted in Atlanta of illegally importing steroids, but was handed a one-year suspended
sentence. In April, the U.S. attorney's office had planned to recommend a five-year prison term and another five years probation, Halpern said.
"I am going to recommend an additional five years for bail jump," Halpern said. "Then, he will belong to the Immigration and Naturalization Service," because Fitton is a British subject.
"The epidemic spread in use of steroids through the entire spectrum of American athletes has got to be stopped, Halpern said. Young men are dying of liver cancer and heart attacks."
Anabolic steroids are synthetic hormones, legally dispensed by prescription, that help build muscles and tissues, but which also can cause side effects such as liver damage, decreased sperm production, loss of the arteries, high blood pressure and blood clotting disorders.
The strength-building power of steroids make them a powerful lure for athletes despite their health hazards.
"We were always a step behind this guy, but he was easy to follow because of his size, flaming red hair and a British accent," said Halpern. "It was only a matter of time."
