A lot of anti-aging clinics are linked with doping scandals. It’s naturally because they supply athletes and bodybuilders with steroids and other related medicines. When proper authorities search anti-aging clinics and seize medical records, they see that some celebrated sport figures belong to clients of the clinics.
Recently certain anti-aging clinics located in Miami were investigated. Feds found that the clinics offered prescription drugs for sale illegally. The clinics sold medications for enhancement of muscle mass, weight loss, increase of endurance, etc.
According to the newspaper the Miami New Times, the anti-aging clinic Biogenesis was found guilty of illegal sale of doping products. Furthermore, such prominent baseball players, as Alex Rodriquez and Melky Cabrera purchased doping products at Biogenesis of America. So, the anti-aging clinic turned out to be connected with one of the biggest steroid scandals in the sport of baseball.
Medical records of Biogenesis were acquired from an employee of the clinic. The records were displayed on the site of the newspaper Miami New Times. Journalists noticed that the employee who provided the records didn’t want to be identified.
It is reported that anabolic steroids, HGH, IGF-1 and other prescription medicines are widely sold illegally by anti-aging clinics. Moreover, clinics hire physicians that provide fake prescriptions. Prescriptions for anabolic steroids and other doping products are often given to clients without needed examination of their personal conditions. Furthermore, physicians supply clients with needed prescriptions even without seeing them. In additions to these aspects, some corrupt doctors permit anti-aging clinics to utilize their prescription pads. As a result, anti-aging clinics sell steroids, painkillers and other prescription medications illicitly, as if they worked legally.
When illegal operations of anti-aging clinics become obvious, owners of clinics, physicians and certain employees are sentenced to several penalties. Nonetheless, the risk to receive punishment doesn’t stop clinics from their illicit activities. Although proper authorities try to eradicate illicit sale of prescription medications, their success is not yet significant.
