Australian smugglers hide covert steroids hidden in 'Gay Lube Oil'
Sometimes the stories write themselves. From the Sydney Morning News:
Australian Customs has seized more than 100 bottles containing illegal liquid steroids hidden inside sexual lubricant packaging.
Customs is investigating the sophisticated drug smuggling network after the bottles, labelled as "gay lube oil", were seized in five states since the start of the year.
The bottles contain prohibited performance and image enhancing drugs from Thailand.
Customs national manager of investigations Richard Janeczko said the so-called gay lube oil contained various active ingredients including testosterone and deca durabolin.
He said these drugs could not be imported into Australia without a permit from the Therapeutic Goods Administration.
No permit? Awwwwwwwwwww
"Despite the professionalism of this smuggling operation, Customs officers were not fooled by the labelling and its misdescription," Mr Janeczko said today in a statement.
He said the detection was a reminder that the use of performance and image enhancing drugs was not confined to elite athletes.
"These substances have the potential to cause serious health risks," he said.
Customs has executed search and seizure warrants on premises throughout Australia.
A number of prosecutions are expected.
The maximum penalty for smuggling such goods into Australia is five years in prison and a $110,000 fine.
Look at the accompanying photo. Do they plan these things? "Protecting our borders".
If only Sly Stallone had thought of this.
so now a customs officer suggests that susternon deca are dangerous substances,
this is the problem right here some 1 with no steroid expertise makes a suggestion to the media that these are dangerous although he does manage to choose his words carefully,

"These substances have the potential to cause serious health risks," he said. based on what info,
MacDonald french fries have the potential to cause serious health risks (in the wrong dosage).

I am so sick of people bashing steroids and steroid use without any knowledge of what they are talking about. Phin Phin and all these other unsafe blends of drugs are being slung all over the market for weight loss and no one is busting their suppliers because it doesn't effect athletic performance and mess with the betting markers.
I have been fighting for 7 years to get my size back after a motorcycle wreck and have only had success in small amounts with what little gear I could get. But if I take a fat burner not approved by the FDA and my heart explodes while playing sports, no one is going to blink an eye for any strong case against the use of them.
