Drug stores located in South India are raided by police officers

Sale and administration of steroids without a physician’s prescription are claimed to be illicit in India. But illegal distribution and application of steroids and other related products prosper in this country. Many athletes obtain these products at pharmacies and supplement stores and administer them in order to enhance muscles and performance.
When Indian National Team’s athletes tested positive for forbidden products at the 2012 Summer Olympics, attention of authorities was drawn to drug stores and supplement stores. Local police officers decided to search drug stores and supplement stores regularly in order to control illicit sale of anabolic steroids and other related drugs. After several raids certain pharmacies and supplement stores had been shut down.
Lately law enforcement officers raided a drug store and two supplement stores located in the southern part of India.
The Parola Pharmacy located in Valancherry was raided by law enforcement officers. As it was learnt, steroids and other related medicines were sold at this drug store illegally. Nandrolone phenylpropionate was one of steroids which were found by law enforcement officers. Certain other steroids were sold illicitly as well. Thus, this pharmacy was shut down.
The Health World supplement store located in Kottakkal was also lately raided. Police officers defined that Methandienone, Equipose, Testosterone Undecanoate and some other steroids were offered for sale at this supplement store. So, it was shut down too.
Another supplement store which was searched was the AM Nutrition store. But it was not pursued because no any steroids were found at the store.
Police officers plan to continue raids. Certain drug stores and supplement stores will probably lose their licenses for illegal sale of steroids and other related medicines.
