Common mistakes made by GNC’s clerks that sell steroids

Sports nutrition stores sell not only real nutrition supplements. They market steroidal compounds as dietary supplements and sell them. But authorities put efforts to control and avoid sale of steroids as if they were just supplements. That’s why clerks of sports nutrition stores sell steroids illegally. Those who come to such stores are frequently informed that they may purchase steroids as well.
 But these conditions are known not only by steroid users but also by authorities. So, police officers conduct undercover investigations in order to bust sports nutrition stores that sell steroids. Clerks should understand that if a customer desires to obtain steroids, arranging a deal outside the shop, he must be an undercover agent. That’s why those who are involved in illicit actions linked with sale of steroids should be quite cautious to prevent legal problems. However they know about these factors, they make typical mistakes which result in arrests, charges and jail.
Let present a story about a clerk of the General Nutrition Centers (GNC) store located in East Walpole (Massachusetts). George Touma sold steroids along with dietary supplements. When police officers were informed about illegal actions of this man, they started an investigation. The investigation lasted circa a month and was led by The Walpole Police Department.
An undercover police officer came to the store frequently and bought dietary supplements. He was speaking with the clerk very often. Thus, a friendly relation was formed. Finally they discussed about anabolic steroids. The undercover police officer said that he would like to get steroids. Thus, he agreed to get 2 vials of steroids from George Touma. The agent had to give $300 for the medications. The deal was arranged outside the shop. After the purchase had taken place police officers detained the clerk.
As a result, the clerk of the GNC was charged with illicit possession and distribution of anabolic steroids.
