Sale and intake of steroids without a doctor’s prescription are claimed to be illegal in India. But illicit distribution and application of steroids and other related medicines prosper in this state. A lot of sportspeople obtain these drugs at pharmacies and supplement stores and apply them in order to enhance muscles and performance.
When Indian National Team’s athletes tested positive for banned drugs at the 2012 Summer Olympics, attention of authorities was drawn to pharmacies and supplement stores. Local police officers decided to raid pharmacies and supplement stores regularly in order to control illegal sale of anabolic steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs. After some raids certain drug stores and supplement stores had been shut down.
Recently police officers searched 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 found out, steroids and other related preparations were sold at this drug store illegally. Nandrolone phenylpropionate was one of steroids which were identified 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 recently searched. Law enforcement officers found that Methandienone, Equipose, Testosterone Undecanoate and some other steroids were offered for sale at this supplement store. So, it was shut down as well.
Another supplement store that was raided was the AM Nutrition store. But it was not prosecuted because no any steroids were found at the store.
Police officers plan to continue raids. Some drug stores and supplement stores may lose their licenses for illicit sale of steroids and other related drugs.
