Anti-aging clinics are connected with steroid scandals

Many anti-aging clinics are linked with steroid scandals. It’s not surprisingly because they supply sportspersons and bodybuilders with anabolic steroids and other related drugs. When appropriate authorities search anti-aging clinics and seize medical records, they find out that several famous sport figures are clients of the clinics.
Recently certain anti-aging clinics located in Miami were investigated. Federal agents defined that the clinics offered prescription drugs for sale illegally. The clinics sold medications for enhancement of muscle mass, fat reduction, increase of strength, etc.
According to the newspaper the Miami New Times, the anti-aging clinic Biogenesis was found guilty of illicit sale of performance-enhancing drugs. Moreover, such prominent baseball players, as Alex Rodriquez and Melky Cabrera purchased doping products at Biogenesis of America. So, the anti-aging clinic turned out to be linked with one of the biggest doping scandals in the sport of baseball.
Medical records of Biogenesis were taken from an employee of the clinic. The records were presented on the website of the newspaper Miami New Times. Journalists said that the employee who gave the records didn’t want to be identified.
It is reported that steroids, HGH, IGF-1 and other prescription medications are widely sold illegally by anti-aging clinics. Furthermore, clinics hire doctors that provide fake prescriptions. Prescriptions for steroids and other doping products are often given to clients without proper evaluation of their individual conditions. Furthermore, doctors provide prescriptions even without seeing their patients. In additions to these aspects, some corrupt physicians allow anti-aging clinics to use their prescription pads. So, anti-aging clinics sell anabolic steroids, painkillers and other prescription medications illegally, as if they acted legally.
When illicit operations of anti-aging clinics become obvious, owners of clinics, physicians and some employees are sentenced to certain sanctions. Nonetheless, the risk to receive punishment doesn’t stop clinics from their illegal activities. However proper authorities try to eliminate illicit sale of prescription preparations, their success is not yet essential.
