While police officers raid houses of motorcycle gangs for weapons, they find steroids

The newspaper “The Sydney Morning Herald” reports that illicit administration of steroids has become widespread in Australia due to outlaw motorcycle gangs. The gangs get high profit and reduced risks.
Nick Bingham, a detective, has confirmed that New South Wales Police doesn’t focus on investigation connected with application of steroids but anabolic steroids become targets of investigations, when police officers arrest motorcycle gangs for violation of other laws.
According to the detective Nick Bingham, although New South Wales policemen don’t raid houses of gangs for steroids, they find them, when searches for weapons and psychoactive drugs are conducted.
Nick Bingham has claimed that they usually seize such quantities of steroids from motorcycle gangs that are just for personal use. Quantities of other drugs that are usually found in possession of gangs are much greater than those of steroids.
Bingham has confirmed that criminals prefer applying anabolic steroids in order to create threatening muscular bodies. They desire to look big and strong.
Although Bingham is sure that gangs possess steroids only for personal application, 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 claimed to be the most important sources of steroids for bodybuilders, it is stated by “The Sydney Morning Herald” that certain gyms have close connections with motorcycle gangs. The Herald claims that many seizures made by the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service are related closely to distribution of steroids by motorcycle gangs.
According to affirmations of Australian Customs, mail seizures of steroids have been enhanced essentially in comparison with past years.
More than 2, 000 seizures were made in 2009-2010 and more than 5, 000 seizures of steroids were recorded in 2010-2011.
Many seizures were related to personal intake of steroids imported illegally by bodybuilders.
