Indian law enforcement officers search drug stores regularly

Distribution and intake of steroids without a physician’s prescription are claimed to be illicit in India. But illegal distribution and administration of steroids and other related medicines prosper in this state. Numerous athletes obtain these products at drug stores and supplement stores and apply them for increase of muscles and performance.
When Indian National Team’s sportspersons tested positive for banned drugs at the 2012 London Olympics, attention of authorities was drawn to drug stores and supplement stores. Local police officers decided to search drug stores and supplement stores regularly in order to control illegal sale of anabolic steroids and other related drugs. After certain raids several drug stores and supplement stores lost their business licenses.
Lately law enforcement officers raided a pharmacy and two supplement stores located in the southern part of India.
The Parola Pharmacy located in Valancherry was raided by police officers. As it was determined, steroids and other related medications were sold at this pharmacy illegally. Nandrolone phenylpropionate was one of steroids which were named by law enforcement officers. Several other steroids were sold illegally too. So, this pharmacy was shut down.
The Health World supplement store located in Kottakkal was also lately searched. Law enforcement officers defined that Methandienone, Equipose, Testosterone Undecanoate and some other steroids were offered for sale at this supplement store. Thus, it was shut down too.
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. Certain pharmacies and supplement stores will probably lose their licenses for illegal sale of steroids and other related preparations.
