Sports nutrition stores sell not only real nutrition supplements. They label steroidal substances as dietary supplements and sell them. But authorities try to control and avoid distribution of steroids as if they were just supplements. That’s why clerks of sports nutrition shops sell steroids illegally. Those who come to such stores are frequently informed that they may purchase steroids as well.
But these factors are known not only by steroid users but also by police officers. So, law enforcements conduct undercover investigations in order to bust sports nutrition shops that sell steroids. Clerks should comprehend that if a client intends to get steroids, arranging a deal outside the store, he must be an undercover officer. That’s why those who are implicated in illicit operations connected with sale of steroids should be very careful to avoid legal problems. However they know about these aspects, they make typical mistakes which lead to arrests, charges and jail.
Let take as an example a clerk of the General Nutrition Centers (GNC) store located in East Walpole (Massachusetts). George Touma sold steroids along with nutrition supplements. When police officers were informed about illegal actions of this man, they began to conduct an investigation. The investigation lasted about a month and was conducted by The Walpole Police Department.
An undercover agent came to the shop frequently and purchased dietary supplements. He was talking to the clerk very often. So, a friendly relation was established. Finally they discussed about anabolic steroids. The undercover agent said that he would like to get steroids. Thus, he agreed to purchase 2 vials of steroids from George Touma. The police officer had to give $300 for the preparations. The deal was arranged outside the shop. After the purchase had taken place police officers arrested the clerk.
As a result, the clerk of the GNC was charged with illicit possession and distribution of steroids.
