According to the newspaper “The Sydney Morning Herald”, outlaw motorcycle gangs are responsible for spread of illegal steroid use in Australia. The gangs get significant profit and reduced risks.
The detective Nick Bingham has affirmed that New South Wales Police doesn’t focus on investigation linked with steroid use but anabolic steroids become targets of investigations, when police officers arrest motorcycle gangs for violation of other laws.
According to the detective Nick Bingham, although New South Wales police officers don’t raid houses of gangs for steroids, they find them, when they conduct searches for weapons and psychostimulant drugs.
Bingham has confirmed that they ordinarily seize such amounts of steroids from motorcycle gangs that are only for personal application. Amounts of other medicines that are usually found in possession of gangs are much greater than those of steroids.
The detective Nick Bingham has claimed that criminals prefer using anabolic steroids in order to have threatening muscular bodies. They desire to look big and powerful.
Although Bingham is sure that gangs have steroids only for personal use, the newspaper “The Sydney Morning Herald” doesn’t agree with his point of view. It is reported that motorcycle gangs are involved in smuggling of steroids.
Although gyms are claimed to be the most important sources of steroids for bodybuilders, it is reported by “The Sydney Morning Herald” that certain gyms have direct links with motorcycle gangs. The Herald claims that many seizures made by the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service are related closely to distribution of steroids by motorcycle gangs.
According to reports of Australian Customs, mail seizures of steroids have been enhanced greatly in comparison with past years.
Over 2, 000 seizures were made in 2009-2010 and more than 5, 000 seizures of steroids were recorded in 2010-2011.
Many seizures were related to personal intake of steroids imported by bodybuilders.
