Const. Shaun Evans, 39, pleaded guilty yesterday to three counts of trafficking Prasterone, one of possessing almost a kilogram of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking, and six other charges. Evans, suspended with pay since his arrest 15 months ago, was with the Essex OPP detachment. His lawyer Don Tait said he will probably resign from the force when he is sentenced early next year. Prasterone is also known as androstenedione or andro. Selling androstenedione is illegal in Canada but not the United States, where sales took off in 1998 after baseball star Mark McGwire said he was taking a supplement containing the drug. Last August, McGwire said he had quit using the supplement. - --- MAP posted-by: Doc-Hawk
