The newspaper “The Sydney Morning Herald” reports that illegal application of steroids has become widespread in Australia due to outlaw motorcycle gangs. The gangs get high profit and low risks.
The detective Nick Bingham has confirmed that New South Wales Police doesn’t focus on investigation linked with intake of steroids but anabolic steroids become targets of investigations, when police officers arrest motorcycle gangs for violation of other laws.
According to Nick Bingham, although New South Wales policemen don’t raid houses of gangs for steroids, they find them, when they conduct searches for weapons and psychostimulant drugs.
Nick Bingham has claimed that they ordinarily seize such amounts of steroids from motorcycle gangs that are only for personal intake. Amounts of other preparations which are usually found in possession of gangs are much greater than those of steroids.
The detective Nick Bingham has noted that criminals like applying anabolic steroids in order to have threatening muscular bodies. They want to look big and strong.
However the detective Nick Bingham is sure that gangs possess steroids only for personal application, the newspaper “The Sydney Morning Herald” doesn’t agree with his opinion. It reports that motorcycle gangs are involved in smuggling of steroids.
However gyms are considered to be the main sources of steroids for bodybuilders, it is confirmed by “The Sydney Morning Herald” that some gyms have direct links with motorcycle gangs. The Herald claims that numerous seizures made by the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service are related closely to distribution of steroids by motorcycle gangs.
According to statements of Australian Customs, mail seizures of steroids have been enhanced essentially in comparison with past years.
Over 2, 000 seizures were made in 2009-2010 and over 5, 000 seizures of steroids were recorded in 2010-2011.
The majority of seizures were connected with personal intake of steroids imported by bodybuilders.
