Berlin, Germany (AHN) - The crackdown on steroid distribution rings is expanding on a worldwide scale. Ten people were arrested on Tuesday in Germany by German and Polish police for allegedly supplying anabolic steroids and human growth hormone to bodybuilder throughout Europe.

The raid was the most recent action taken by police against suspected dope suppliers. The World Anti-Doping Agency encourages these actions as a compliment to its drug testing programs.

The chairman of the agency, **** Pound, told the New York Times that police assistance is crucial in stopping steroid distribution.

"There are lots of things that the sports themselves can do, but they have no power to go and seize documents or compel evidence or anything like that, which is why governments have to be involved. The combination of the two is what is going to make this effective."

German investigators said they don't believe any other sport outside of bodybuilding was involved in the ring.

240 officers were involved in the raid. 10 suspects were arrested and 52 building were searched in Germany and Poland. Most of the investigation was centered in Berlin and Hanover.

Investigators have pointed to a German bodybuilder named Boris K as the ring-leader of the operation. They claim he organized the steroid distribution via telephone and the Internet.

That's too bad, why can't they just stick to busting crack houses and meth labs and leave use to pump ourselves full of hormones!?

I get a kick out of the board censor sometimes. It seems appropriate that **** Pounds first name gets censored out of the news post.

Wanna know why? Cause stats show that a lot of AS suppliers and dealers are also dealing in heavy narcotics as well. So it comes across through media etc that AS users are also rec drug users as well.

Just look at the number of people who use AS who also have used just about every thing else out there.

 

[CHAPS]

Ya i think you've got a point on that one Jayhawk

 

[anabolicrhino]

Why do you think they call it "DOPE"?

 

[size]

Must have been a big investigation since 240 officers were used

 

[CDB]

Makes no difference. Tomorrow another ring will take over the sales volume. The profit potential is too high to ignore for he shady types who work in the black market.
