Sale and intake of steroids without a physician’s prescription are considered to be illicit in India. But illegal sale and intake of steroids and other related products prosper in this state. A lot of sportspeople purchase these medicines at pharmacies and supplement stores and take them in order to enhance muscles and performance.
When Indian National Team’s athletes tested positive for forbidden drugs at the 2012 Summer 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 drugs. After some raids certain drug stores and supplement stores had been shut down.
Recently 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 law enforcement officers. As it was determined, steroids and other related preparations were sold at this pharmacy illegally. Nandrolone phenylpropionate was one of steroids which were found by law enforcement officers. Some other steroids were sold illegally too. So, this drug store was shut down.
The Health World supplement store located in Kottakkal was also lately searched. Police officers determined 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 pursued because no any steroids were found at the store.
Police officers plan to continue raids. Some pharmacies and supplement stores will probably lose their licenses for illegal sale of steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs.
