Two men have been sentenced for their role in a ring that distributed steroids in Western Pennsylvania and elsewhere.

Thirty-six-year-old Kristen Mealer, of Timbo, Ark., was sentenced to nine months in prison and two years of supervised release.

Thirty-seven-year-old David Edward Retter, of Vandergrift, was sentenced to six months in prison, six months home confinement and two years of supervised release.

Agents raided Mealer's home and Arkansas business, Stone County Fitness Center, as part of the investigation. Prosecutors say the pair conspired with others to distribute more than 189,000 doses of anabolic steroids from January 2007 until the ring was broken up in February 2008.

They were sentenced yesterday in U.S. District Court.
