    Ex-doctor sentenced to one year in Carolina steroids case

    By MEG KINNARD
    Associated Press Writer


    COLUMBIA, S.C. | A former South Carolina physician who pleaded guilty to conspiring to illegally prescribe steroids to NFL players was sentenced Monday to one year and one day in prison.

    Dr. James Shortt pleaded guilty in March to one federal count of conspiracy to distribute anabolic steroids and human growth hormone. Prosecutors have said current and former members of the Carolina Panthers were some of Shortt's patients.

    As part of the plea deal, prosecutors dropped 42 other counts against Shortt.

    Chief U.S. District Judge Joe Anderson ordered Shortt to pay the minimum fine, $500, and a $100 special assessment. He also will serve two years on supervised release.

    The maximum sentence for the charge was five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

    Shortt also faces a state criminal investigation in the March 2004 death of a woman who died after receiving intravenous hydrogen peroxide he claimed would help her multiple sclerosis. Shortt has been sued by the family of Katherine Bibeau, whose death has been ruled a homicide.

    The South Carolina Board of Medical Examiners revoked Shortt's medical license in May.

    The judge gave him double the recommended max. That was probably all he could get away with. Congress needs to change the law and make this a major crime under certain circumstances, like this.
