Jamie George pled guilty to supplying DNP with his conviction the first of its kind in Scotland.

A gym boss has been jailed for more than three years for flogging potentially deadly fat-burning pills.

Father of three George, who owns Muscle Hut gym in Falkirk, earlier pleaded guilty culpable and reckless endangerment of life, by supplying the pills over a four year period between May 1, 2017, and October 8, 2021. Imposing the sentence Sheriff Derek Hamilton said: "While inquiries were ongoing you were served with a remedial action notice requiring you to cease manufacture, distribution and sale.

Mr Moncrieff, the deputy fiscal, said: "The floor, walls and contents of the garden shed were all heavily contaminated and stained with a yellow powder." He told police he was aware that DNP was classified as a poison and was not safe for human consumption, and he was aware of the dangers of taking it, including that the lethal dose is not known.

The court was also told that the accounts of the Muscle Hut showed it had an annual turnover of £235,00.
