BY SCOTT LAUBERIn an e-mail sent to media outlets today, Patrick Arnold has fired back at J.C. Romero.
Arnold (pictured), the chemist who owns and operates ErgoPharm Inc. and Proviant Technologies, said Romero should take responsibility for his own actions, including reading a warning label on bottles of 6-OXO Extreme that he says reads, "Use of this product may be banned by some athleti or government associations (including military)."
"If an athlete chooses to ignore an explicit warning on the label of a dietary supplement product, fails to conduct reasonable inquiry, and thereafter tests positive for a banned substance, the athlete should take responsibility for their actions," Proviant's two-page unsigned statement said.
It should be noted that Romero has alleged the two bottles of 6-OXO Extreme that he purchased (one from a Vitamin Shoppe in Cherry Hill, N.J., the other from a GNC in Fairhope, Ala.) didn't contain any warning labels.

If I'm not mistaken, that warning was not on the label until after Romero was identified. I might be wrong about that, but I don't think so.
