Brendan James Brophy jailed for two-and-a-half years with a parole release date in April of next year.

Brendan James Brophy pleaded guilty to conducting what was described as a "sophisticated business".The Supreme Court in Brisbane heard Brophy imported steroids and human growth hormone from China, Great Britain and the United Arab Emirates. He also established a website to attract customers before his arrest in 2006. Police found steroids, almost $20,000 in cash, equipment to package the drugs and details of Brophy's customers at his Ashmore home. His lawyer Tony Kimmins said Brophy began using the drugs before he started selling them.
The Court heard they may have been destined for professional athletes as well as enthusiastic amateurs. Justice John Byrne jailed Brophy for two-and-a-half years with a parole release date in April of next year.
