Distribution and intake of steroids without a health care provider’s prescription are considered to be illegal in India. But illegal sale and usage of steroids and other related preparations prosper in this state. Numerous sportspeople acquire these preparations at pharmacies and supplement stores and administer them for enhancement of muscles and performance.
When Indian National Team’s athletes tested positive for prohibited medicines at the 2012 Summer Olympics, attention of authorities was drawn to pharmacies and supplement stores. Local police officers decided to search drug stores and supplement stores regularly in order to control illicit sale of anabolic steroids and other doping products. After several raids several pharmacies and supplement stores had been shut down.
Lately law enforcement officers searched a drug store and two supplement stores located in the southern part of India.
The Parola Pharmacy located in Valancherry was raided by law enforcement officers. As it was defined, steroids and other related medications were sold at this pharmacy illegally. Nandrolone phenylpropionate was one of steroids which were found by law enforcement officers. Several other steroids were sold illicitly too. Thus, this pharmacy was shut down.
The Health World supplement store located in Kottakkal was also recently raided. Police officers found that Methandienone, Equipose, Testosterone Undecanoate and some other steroids were offered for sale at this supplement store. Thus, it was shut down as well.
Another supplement store that was searched was the AM Nutrition store. But it was not prosecuted because no any steroids were sold at the store.
Police officers plan to continue raids. Certain pharmacies and supplement stores will probably lose their licenses for illegal sale of steroids and other related products.
