Sports nutrition stores offer for sale not just true nutrition supplements. They label steroidal compounds as dietary supplements and sell them. But authorities put efforts to control and avoid distribution of steroids as if they were just supplements. That’s why clerks of sports nutrition stores 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 steroid users but also by police. So, police officers conduct undercover investigations in order to bust sports nutrition stores that sell steroids. Clerks should know that if a customer intends to get steroids, arranging a deal outside the shop, he must be an undercover agent. That’s why those who are implicated in illegal operations linked with sale of steroids should be very careful to avoid legal problems. Although they know about these factors, they make common 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 steroids along with nutrition supplements. When law enforcement officers were informed about illegal actions of this person, they started 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 nutrition supplements. He was speaking with the clerk quite often. Thus, a friendly relation was established. Finally they discussed about steroids. The undercover police officer said that he would like to get steroids. So, he agreed to obtain two vials of steroids from George Touma. The officer had to give $300 for the drugs. The deal was arranged outside the store. After the purchase had taken place police officers detained George Touma.
As a result, George Touma was accused of illegal possession and distribution of anabolic steroids.
