The newspaper “The Sydney Morning Herald” reports that outlaw motorcycle gangs are responsible for spread of illegal steroid use in Australia. The gangs have significant profit and reduced risks.
The detective Nick Bingham has noticed 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 searches for weapons and stimulants are conducted.
Nick Bingham has confirmed that they ordinarily seize such amounts of steroids from motorcycle gangs which are just for personal use. Amounts of other substances which are usually found in possession of gangs are much greater than those of steroids.
The detective Nick Bingham has confirmed that criminals prefer applying anabolic steroids in order to build threatening muscular physiques. They desire to look big and powerful.
Although Bingham assures that gangs possess steroids just for personal intake, the newspaper “The Sydney Morning Herald” doesn’t agree with this statement. It is reported that motorcycle gangs are implicated in smuggling of steroids.
Although gyms are claimed to be the main sources of steroids for bodybuilders, it is reported by “The Sydney Morning Herald” that several gyms have close links with motorcycle gangs. The Herald claims that numerous seizures made by the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service are related closely to distribution of steroids by motorcycle gangs.
According to statements of Australian Customs, mail seizures of steroids have been increased obviously in comparison with past years.
More than 2, 000 seizures were made in 2009-2010 and over 5, 000 seizures of steroids were recorded in 2010-2011.
Numerous seizures were related to personal usage of steroids smuggled by bodybuilders.
