Indian police officers raid pharmacies and supplement stores regularly

Distribution and usage of steroids without a physician’s prescription are claimed to be illegal in India. But illegal distribution and usage of steroids and other related medicines prosper in this country. Numerous sportspeople buy these medicines at drug stores and supplement stores and apply them in order to increase muscles and performance.
When Indian National Team’s athletes tested positive for prohibited drugs at the 2012 London Olympics, attention of authorities was drawn to drug stores and supplement stores. Local police officers decided to raid pharmacies and supplement stores regularly in order to control illicit sale of anabolic steroids and other related products. After some raids several drug stores and supplement stores lost their business licenses.
Lately police officers searched a drug store and two supplement stores located in the southern part of India.
The Parola Pharmacy located in Valancherry was searched by police officers. As it was determined, steroids and other related preparations were sold at this drug store illegally. Nandrolone phenylpropionate was one of steroids which were found by police officers. Certain other steroids were sold illicitly too. So, this drug store was shut down.
The Health World supplement store located in Kottakkal was also recently raided. Police officers defined that Methandienone, Equipose, Testosterone Undecanoate and some other steroids were offered for sale at this supplement store. Thus, it was shut down as well.
Another supplement store which was raided was the AM Nutrition store. But it was not prosecuted because no any steroids were sold at the store.
Law enforcement officers plan to continue raids. Certain drug stores and supplement stores will probably lose their licenses for illicit sale of steroids and other related drugs.
