Anti-aging clinics are involved in steroid scandals

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