Anti-aging clinics supply celebrated athletes with performance-enhancing drugs

A lot of anti-aging clinics are connected with doping scandals. It’s not surprisingly because they supply sportspersons and bodybuilders with steroids and other related products. When proper authorities search anti-aging clinics and seize documents, they see that some well-known sport figures belong to clients of the clinics.
Recently several anti-aging clinics located in Miami were investigated. Federal agents determined that the clinics offered prescription drugs for sale illegally. The clinics sold products for enhancement of muscle mass, weight loss, enhancement of strength, etc.
According to the newspaper the Miami New Times, the anti-aging clinic Biogenesis was found guilty of illegal sale of doping products. Moreover, such well-known baseball players, as Alex Rodriquez and Melky Cabrera acquired doping products from Biogenesis of America. Thus, the anti-aging clinic turned out to be linked with one of the biggest doping scandals in baseball.
Medical records of Biogenesis were received from an employee of the clinic. The records were displayed on the site of the newspaper Miami New Times. Journalists claimed that the employee who provided the records didn’t want to be identified.
It is reported that steroids, HGH, IGF-1 and other prescription drugs are widely sold illegally by anti-aging clinics. Moreover, clinics hire physicians that provide fake prescriptions. Prescriptions for anabolic steroids and other doping products are often given to clients without required evaluation of their personal conditions. Moreover, physicians provide prescriptions even without seeing their patients. In additions to these aspects, some corrupt doctors permit anti-aging clinics to utilize their prescription pads. So, anti-aging clinics sell anabolic steroids, painkillers and other prescription medicines illegally, as if they worked legally.
When illegal activities of anti-aging clinics become evident, owners of clinics, doctors and some employees are sentenced to certain sanctions. Nevertheless, the risk to receive punishment doesn’t stop clinics from their illicit activities. Although proper authorities try to eliminate illegal sale of prescription medications, their success is not yet essential.
