Sale and administration of steroids without a doctor’s prescription are considered to be illegal in India. But illegal distribution and administration of steroids and other related preparations prosper in this country. A lot of athletes obtain these medications at drug stores and supplement stores and take them in order to increase muscles and performance.
When Indian National Team’s athletes tested positive for forbidden products at the 2012 Summer Olympics, attention of authorities was drawn to drug stores and supplement stores. Local police officers decided to search pharmacies and supplement stores regularly in order to control illicit sale of anabolic steroids and other related medications. After some raids several pharmacies and supplement stores lost their business licenses.
Lately law enforcement officers raided a drug store 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 defined, steroids and other related medications were sold at this pharmacy illegally. Nandrolone phenylpropionate was one of steroids which were identified by police officers. Certain other steroids were sold illicitly as well. So, this drug store was shut down.
The Health World supplement store located in Kottakkal was also lately 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 pursued because no any steroids were found at the store.
Police officers plan to continue raids. Several drug stores and supplement stores will probably lose their licenses for illicit sale of steroids and other related products.
