According to the newspaper “The Sydney Morning Herald”, illegal application of steroids has become widespread in Australia due to outlaw motorcycle gangs. The gangs have significant profit and reduced risks.
Nick Bingham, a detective, has said that New South Wales Police doesn’t focus on investigation connected with intake of steroids but anabolic steroids become targets of investigations, when police officers arrest motorcycle gangs for violation of other laws.
According to Nick Bingham, however New South Wales policemen don’t raid houses of gangs for steroids, they find them, when searches for weapons and stimulants are conducted.
The detective Nick Bingham has claimed that they commonly seize such quantities of steroids from motorcycle gangs that are just for personal application. Quantities of other preparations that are commonly found in possession of gangs are much greater than those of steroids.
The detective Nick Bingham has affirmed that criminals like taking anabolic steroids in order to get threatening muscular physiques. They want to look big and powerful.
Although Bingham assures that gangs possess steroids just for personal usage, the newspaper “The Sydney Morning Herald” doesn’t agree with his opinion. It reports that motorcycle gangs are involved in smuggling of steroids.
However gyms are claimed to be the main sources of steroids for bodybuilders, it is reported by “The Sydney Morning Herald” that certain gyms have close links with motorcycle gangs. The Herald claims that numerous seizures made by the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service are connected directly with distribution of steroids by motorcycle gangs.
According to reports of Australian Customs, mail seizures of steroids have been increased essentially in comparison with past years.
Over 2, 000 seizures were made in 2009-2010 and over 5, 000 seizures of steroids were recorded in 2010-2011.
The most of seizures were connected with self-application of steroids imported by bodybuilders.
