Distribution and administration of steroids without a doctor’s prescription are claimed to be illicit in India. But illegal sale and usage of steroids and other related preparations prosper in this state. A lot of athletes get these preparations at pharmacies and supplement stores and take them in order to enhance muscles and performance.
When Indian National Team’s athletes tested positive for prohibited substances at the 2012 London Olympics, attention of authorities was drawn to pharmacies and supplement stores. Local police officers decided to search pharmacies and supplement stores regularly in order to control illegal sale of anabolic steroids and other related medicines. After certain raids several drug stores and supplement stores had been shut down.
Lately police officers searched a pharmacy and two supplement stores located in the southern part of India.
The Parola Pharmacy located in Valancherry was searched by police officers. As it was learnt, steroids and other related products were sold at this pharmacy illegally. Nandrolone phenylpropionate was one of steroids which were identified by police officers. Several other steroids were sold illicitly as well. So, this pharmacy was shut down.
The Health World supplement store located in Kottakkal was also lately raided. Law enforcement officers defined that Methandienone, Equipose, Testosterone Undecanoate and some other steroids were offered for sale at this supplement store. So, it was shut down too.
Another supplement store that was raided was the AM Nutrition store. But it was not prosecuted because no any steroids were sold at the store.
Law enforcement officers plan to continue raids. Certain drug stores and supplement stores may lose their licenses for illegal sale of steroids and other related drugs.
