Implication of motorcycle gangs in distribution of steroids

According to the newspaper “The Sydney Morning Herald”, outlaw motorcycle gangs are responsible for spread of illegal steroid use in Australia. The gangs get essential profit and low risks.
The detective Nick Bingham has noted that New South Wales Police doesn’t focus on investigation linked with intake of steroids but anabolic steroids become targets of investigations, when outlaw motorcycle gangs are arrested for violation of other laws.
According to the detective Nick Bingham, although New South Wales police officers don’t raid houses of gangs for steroids, they find them, when searches for weapons and stimulants are conducted.
The detective Nick Bingham has noted that they usually seize such quantities of steroids from motorcycle gangs that are just for personal intake. Quantities of other medicines which are usually found in possession of gangs are much greater than those of steroids.
The detective Nick Bingham has noticed that criminals prefer applying anabolic steroids in order to have threatening muscular bodies. They desire to look big and powerful.
However the detective Nick Bingham assures that gangs possess steroids only for personal use, the newspaper “The Sydney Morning Herald” presents opposite point of view. It is reported that motorcycle gangs play great role in smuggling of steroids.
Although gyms are considered to be the most important sources of steroids for bodybuilders, it is reported by “The Sydney Morning Herald” that several gyms have direct links with motorcycle gangs. The Herald confirms that many seizures made by the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service are linked directly with distribution of steroids by motorcycle gangs.
According to statements of Australian Customs, mail seizures of steroids have been enhanced obviously in comparison with past years.
More than 2, 000 seizures were made in 2009-2010 and over 5, 000 seizures of steroids were recorded in 2010-2011.
The most of seizures were connected with self-administration of steroids imported illegally by bodybuilders.
