Outlaw motorcycle gangs smuggle steroids

According to the newspaper “The Sydney Morning Herald”, illegal application of steroids has become widespread in Australia due to outlaw motorcycle gangs. The gangs receive high profit and reduced risks.
The detective Nick Bingham has noticed that New South Wales Police doesn’t focus on investigation linked with application 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 officers don’t raid houses of gangs for steroids, they find them, when searches for weapons and psychoactive drugs are conducted.
Bingham has noted that they commonly seize such amounts of steroids from motorcycle gangs which are only for personal usage. Amounts of other substances that are commonly found in possession of gangs are much greater than those of steroids.
Bingham has noticed that criminals prefer taking anabolic steroids in order to get threatening muscular physiques. They want to look big and powerful.
However the detective Nick Bingham is sure that gangs possess steroids just for self-administration, the newspaper “The Sydney Morning Herald” doesn’t agree with his point of view. It is reported that motorcycle gangs are implicated in smuggling of steroids.
Although gyms are considered to be the main sources of steroids for bodybuilders, it is stated by “The Sydney Morning Herald” that some gyms have close connections with motorcycle gangs. The Herald claims that many 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 obviously in comparison with past years.
More than 2, 000 seizures were made in 2009-2010 and more than 5, 000 seizures of steroids were recorded in 2010-2011.
Lots of seizures were related to personal administration of steroids imported by bodybuilders.
