According to the newspaper “The Sydney Morning Herald”, outlaw motorcycle gangs are responsible for spread of illegal steroid use in Australia. The gangs get significant profit and reduced risks.
Nick Bingham, a detective, has noted 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, however New South Wales policemen don’t raid houses of gangs for steroids, they find them, when searches for weapons and stimulants are conducted.
The detective Nick Bingham has confirmed that they commonly seize such amounts of steroids from motorcycle gangs which are just for personal application. Amounts of other products that are usually found in possession of gangs are much greater than those of steroids.
Nick Bingham has noticed that criminals prefer taking anabolic steroids in order to create threatening muscular bodies. They want to look big and strong.
Although Nick Bingham is sure that gangs have steroids just for personal usage, the newspaper “The Sydney Morning Herald” doesn’t agree with his point of view. It is reported that motorcycle gangs are involved in smuggling of steroids.
Although gyms are claimed to be the main sources of steroids for bodybuilders, it is reported by “The Sydney Morning Herald” that several gyms have close connections with motorcycle gangs. The Herald confirms that many seizures made by the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service are connected directly with 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.
More than 2, 000 seizures were made in 2009-2010 and more than 5, 000 seizures of steroids were recorded in 2010-2011.
Many seizures were linked with self-application of steroids imported by bodybuilders.
