Sports nutrition shops offer for sale not only true nutrition supplements. They market steroidal substances as nutrition supplements and offer them for sale. But authorities try to control and avoid distribution of steroids as if they were true supplements. That’s why clerks of sports nutrition stores sell steroids illegally. Those who come to such stores are often informed that they may purchase steroids too.
But these conditions are known not only by steroid users but also by police officers. So, law enforcements conduct undercover investigations in order to bust sports nutrition shops that sell steroids. Clerks should comprehend that if a client wants to obtain steroids, arranging a deal outside the shop, he must be an undercover officer. That’s why those who are involved in illegal actions linked with sale of steroids should be very cautious to avoid legal problems. Although they know about these aspects, they make common mistakes that result in arrests, charges and imprisonment.
Let take as an example a clerk of the General Nutrition Centers (GNC) store located in East Walpole (Massachusetts). George Touma sold steroids along with dietary supplements. When law enforcement officers were informed about illicit actions of this person, they started an investigation. The investigation lasted circa a month and was led by The Walpole Police Department.
An undercover agent came to the store frequently and bought nutrition supplements. He was speaking with the clerk very frequently. Thus, a friendly relation was established. Finally they discussed about anabolic steroids. The undercover agent said that he would like to purchase steroids. So, he agreed to get 2 vials of steroids from George Touma. The agent had to give $300 for the products. The deal was arranged outside the store. After the purchase had taken place police officers detained George Touma.
As a result, George Touma was accused of illicit possession and distribution of anabolic steroids.
