Sports nutrition shops offer for sale not only true dietary supplements. They market steroidal substances as nutrition supplements and offer them for sale. But authorities put efforts to control and prevent distribution of steroids as if they were just supplements. That’s why clerks of sports nutrition stores offer steroids for sale illegally. Those that come to such stores are frequently informed that they may buy steroids as well.
But these factors 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 shops that sell steroids. Clerks should understand that if a client desires to get steroids, arranging a deal outside the store, he must be an undercover police officer. That’s why those who are involved in illicit operations connected with sale of steroids should be quite careful to avoid legal troubles. However they know about these factors, they make typical mistakes that lead to arrests, charges and jail.
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 illicit actions of this man, they began to conduct an investigation. The investigation lasted about a month and was led by The Walpole Police Department.
An undercover agent came to the store often and purchased dietary supplements. He was talking to the clerk quite frequently. Thus, a friendly relation was formed. Finally they discussed about anabolic steroids. The undercover officer said that he would like to purchase anabolic steroids. Thus, he agreed to obtain two vials of steroids from George Touma. The agent had to pay $300 for the drugs. The deal was arranged outside the shop. After the purchase had taken place police officers detained the clerk.
As a result, the clerk of the GNC was charged with illegal possession and sale of steroids.
