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.
