Sportspersons purchase steroids at anti-aging clinics

A lot of anti-aging clinics are connected with steroid scandals. It’s naturally because they supply sportspersons and bodybuilders with steroids and other related preparations. When appropriate authorities search anti-aging clinics and seize medical records, they find out that some famous sport figures belong to clients of the clinics.
Lately some anti-aging clinics located in Miami were investigated. Federal agents found that the clinics offered prescription drugs for sale illegally. The clinics sold medications for enhancement of muscle mass, fat reduction, increase of strength, etc.
According to the newspaper the Miami New Times, the anti-aging clinic Biogenesis was found guilty of illicit sale of performance-enhancing drugs. Furthermore, such well-known baseball players, as Alex Rodriquez and Melky Cabrera purchased doping products at Biogenesis of America. Thus, the anti-aging clinic appeared to be connected with one of the biggest steroid scandals in the sport of baseball.
Medical records of Biogenesis were received from an employee of the clinic. The records were presented on the website of the newspaper Miami New Times. Journalists said that the employee who provided the records didn’t want to be identified.
It is reported that steroids, HGH, IGF-1 and other prescription drugs are widely sold illegally by anti-aging clinics. Furthermore, clinics hire doctors who provide fake prescriptions. Prescriptions for steroids and other related medicines are often given to clients without proper evaluation of their personal conditions. Moreover, doctors supply clients with needed prescriptions even without seeing them. In additions to these aspects, certain corrupt doctors permit anti-aging clinics to utilize their prescription pads. As a result, anti-aging clinics sell steroids, painkillers and other prescription medicines illicitly, as if they worked legally.
When illicit operations of anti-aging clinics become evident, owners of clinics, doctors and certain employees are sentenced to several penalties. Nevertheless, the risk to receive punishment doesn’t stop clinics from their illicit actions. However proper authorities try to eliminate illegal sale of prescription medicines, their success is not yet significant.
