Instagram fitness model caught with steroids and syringe down his pants for the third time in three years

HE’S an Insta-famous Gold Coast model spruiking dietary supplements and his own “body bulking” program. But Jaxon Tippet has today been hauled over the coals by a magistrate and told to eat ‘honey and banana sandwiches’.

AN INSTA-FAMOUS fitness model and personal trainer found with more than 250 steroid tablets and vials of testosterone was fined a total of $4000.

It was the third time Jaxon Kade Tippet, 23, fronted court in the past three years for possessing steroids.

Tippet spruiks legal dietary supplements and his own “body bulking” program on his Instagram account which has more than 166,000 followers.

The fitness trainer charges up to $150 for an eight-week bulking program.

Jaxon Tippet, 23, was found with steroids in his car when police pulled him over in November last year.

Magistrate Donald MacKenzie slammed Tippet for failing to be a good role model.

“Particularly with young men and seeing they can have the body that you have and thinking they can have a body like you by using steroids,” he said.

Mr MacKenzie said Tippet could have bulked up in a legal way such as eating “honey and banana sandwiches”.

He said it was “idiotic” that Tippet would be risking his body considering he had a serious heart issue about five years ago.

The court heard this morning Tippet was found with the drugs in his car when, after an anonymous tip, police pulled him over in Tewantin on the Sunshine Coast about 11.45am on November 27 last year.

Police also found Tippet hiding a syringe and needle in his underwear after he was seen “favouring his groin area”.

Tippet pleaded guilty in Southport Magistrates Court to six counts of possessing a dangerous drug, two counts of driving unlicensed and one count of failing to properly dispose of a syringe.

Police prosecutor Senior Constable Jack Mulherin said after police stopped Tippet, they noticed he was walking strangely and searched him.

He said they found a syringe and needle in his underwear and a vial of liquid steroid originally developed to treat asthma.

A magistrate slammed Jaxon Tippet for being a poor role model for taking steroids to achieve his body.

Tippet’s licence had also been suspended due to an accumulation of demerit points.

Snr Const. Mulherin said police seized the car.

Police also caught Tippet driving without a licence on the Gold Coast Highway in Broadbeach on November 3.

Tippet has previously been fined twice for using steroids — once in 2015 and once in 2016.

A search found more than 250 tablets of four different types of steroids as well as testosterone in liquid form.

Defence lawyer Michael Burrows, of Nyst Legal, told the court a medical examination found Tippet had muscle dysmorphia, a disorder which people obsess about being underdeveloped, which had led to his use of steroids.

Jaxon Tippet was fined a told of $4000 after being found with steroids.

“(Steroids) is not something in his job or employment he would be recommending to people,” he said.

Mr Burrows said Tippet had stopped taking steroids and was seeking treatment for his muscle dysmorphia.

Tippet was sentenced to $3500 for the drugs, $250 for each driving offence and disqualified from driving for 12 months.

Convictions were recorded.
