Sports nutrition shops offer for sale not only real nutrition supplements. They label steroidal compounds as dietary supplements and sell them. But authorities try to control and avoid sale of steroids as if they were just supplements. That’s why clerks of sports nutrition shops offer steroids for sale illegally. Those who come to such stores are often informed that they may purchase steroids as well.
But these conditions are known not only by consumers of steroids but also by police officers. So, police officers conduct undercover investigations in order to bust sports nutrition stores that offer steroids for sale. Clerks should understand that if a client wants to obtain steroids, arranging a deal outside the shop, he must be an undercover agent. That’s why those who are implicated in illegal operations connected with sale of steroids should be very careful to avoid legal troubles. Although they know about these aspects, they make typical mistakes which result in arrests, charges and prison.
Let present a story about a clerk of the General Nutrition Centers (GNC) store located in East Walpole (Massachusetts). George Touma sold anabolic steroids along with dietary supplements. When police officers were informed about illegal actions of this person, they began to conduct an investigation. The investigation lasted circa a month and was conducted by The Walpole Police Department.
An undercover agent came to the shop often and purchased dietary supplements. He was talking to the clerk quite often. Thus, a friendly relation was formed. Finally they discussed about steroids. The undercover officer said that he would like to get steroids. So, he agreed to obtain 2 vials of steroids from George Touma. The officer had to give $300 for the medicines. The deal was arranged outside the shop. After the purchase had taken place police officers detained George Touma.
As a result, the clerk of the GNC was charged with illicit possession and sale of anabolic steroids.
