Steroids are often seized from motorcycle gangs

The newspaper “The Sydney Morning Herald” reports that illicit administration of steroids has become widespread in Australia due to outlaw motorcycle gangs. The gangs have essential profit and reduced risks.
Nick Bingham, a detective, has noticed that New South Wales Police doesn’t focus on investigation connected with usage of steroids 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 officials don’t raid houses of gangs for steroids, they find them, when they conduct searches for weapons and psychostimulant drugs.
Nick Bingham has reported that they usually seize such amounts of steroids from motorcycle gangs which are only for self-administration. Amounts of other drugs that are usually found in possession of gangs are much greater than those of steroids.
Nick Bingham has noticed that criminals prefer using anabolic steroids in order to build threatening muscular bodies. They want to look big and strong.
However Bingham is sure that gangs have steroids only for personal use, the newspaper “The Sydney Morning Herald” presents opposite point of view. It is reported that motorcycle gangs are implicated 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 several gyms have close connections with motorcycle gangs. The Herald confirms that numerous seizures made by the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service are linked directly with distribution of steroids by motorcycle gangs.
According to statements of Australian Customs, mail seizures of steroids have been enhanced greatly 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.
The majority of seizures were connected with self-administration of steroids smuggled by bodybuilders.
