ONLINE BOAST OF MINISTER SPELMAN'S SON: 'I'VE GOT THE GEAR, SO THERE'S NO TURNING BACK'

[BABY1]

TweetTHE England U16 rugby ace son of Cabinet minister Caroline Spelman spent months *trawling the internet and boasted about abusing performance- enhancing drugs.

Body-building fan Jonny, 17, faces *becoming the youngest Brit to be banned from sport for doping violations.

He is currently suspended by club side Harlequins after “drugs paraphernalia” was found at £31,000-a-year Tonbridge School, in Kent, where he is a boarder.

Last night there were calls for an *investigation into the pressures put on young sports stars as anti-doping experts stressed the public interest in reporting the dangers of steroids and the reasons sport must be kept drug-free.

The full extent of Jonny’s steroid shame can be revealed today after Jonny’s *injunction banning our report was lifted.

The tattooed teen somehow obtained a cocktail of steroids and took them late last year in what he said was a bid to help him recover from a potentially career- threatening knee injury suffered in a school match last September.

Months BEFORE the injury, as he was *battling to get into the England Under-18 squad, he openly boasted about taking *anabolic steroids on various websites, leading one worried poster to ask the teen: “Where are your parents?”

There is no suggestion he actually took those drugs, just that he bragged about it *online.

Jonny, who shows off about being able to deadlift 250kg and having 17.5in arms, is registered on several body-building * websites using the name Spelmanjm.

In February 2011, he was banned from the forums of website Bodybuilding.com after a post that detailed his apparent past steroid use and asked for advice on which he should choose in future.

In a posting written when he was just 16 and peppered with references to Class C drugs, illegal unless prescribed by a doctor, he wrote: “Hi guys yes i am a teen i am 17. Now, before u rip the **** into me ive got the gear so there is no turning back.”

He said he “did” drugs when he was 15 *including designer steroid M1T and pro *hormones including SD Matrix and Tren Bombs. He said a year later he took the *anabolic steroids Methandrostenolone, *Anavar and Winstrol and injectable *testosterone.

He asked for advice for taking steroids Trenbolone Hexahydrobenzylcarbonate and testosterone propionate and the recovery drugs Clomifene and * Nolvadex, which people taking steroids use to avoid growing breasts.

He added: “I compete in *amateur Body Building *already where all the ppl my age juice [take steroids] was just wandering [sic] what ppl thought.”

After Jonny’s bombshell post, jtyler30 wrote: “Where are your parents?” He was banned by worried website bosses before he could post again.

The previous December, when Jonny would have been 15 or 16, someone using the name Spelmanjm also registered with website Steroid.com.

On the site’s forums, Spelmanjm asked other users: “Please could you give me an ideal *injectable steroid for a beginner age 25 who gets drug tested. *Looking for mass gain I can keep.”

Jonny, whose mum is *Environment Secretary, played for Kent Schools and Surrey as well as Quins and England. In a statement issued last week by parents Caroline and Mark Spelman, they said: “Our son, who was then 16, was injured in *September 2011 and took some widely-*available drugs in order to aid his recovery.


“Our son knows taking a banned substance can never, ever, be right and he is deeply sorry for the mistakes he has made and is determined to learn from them.

“We will do everything we can to support him and he faces the consequences of his *actions.”

A spokeswoman for UK Anti-Doping said she was unaware of any under-18s ever *serving a drugs ban before.

The previous youngest rugby star to be banned for drugs was Adam Dean, who was 18 when suspended for two years in 2005.

A spokesman for Quins said: “Harlequins takes anti-doping very seriously and *condemns drug use in sport. In accordance with International Rugby Board Regulation 21 and to preserve the integrity of the *process, the club will not comment on any current or future cases until they have been concluded and all parties informed.”

The RFU issued an identical statement.

A spokeswoman for Tonbridge School said: “We cannot comment on pupils in our care.”
