    Internet Sales Busts in UK

    Anyone else hear about this?

    Was on the news a little while ago - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/5364588.stm

    wonder if it was any of the big sites? and if the police have left them up and running to catch people out?

    Anyone know the name of the website(s) involved? I find it interesting that the site that I used to work with is not up today... wondering if it's from this. You think they could use any info on those computers to get to people in the US? I was looking at using another site anyway...you think there's any reason to be concerned?

    I thought that it was legal for a lot of the European sites to sell AAS worldwide... is this not the case or were they just selling bad gear?

    its illigal to sell / posses them in the uk and most of europe -

    classed as perscription only drugs, and 'Class C' controlled substance...

    Heroin & Crack, xtc, concentrated Amphet are 'Class A'
    Weed, Amphet 'Class B'
    Steroids & Anti-deppresents 'Class C'

    Thanks for this information... I didn't realize that this source was breaking the law potentially. They say that they are a licenced pharmaceutical distributor and I've checked with a few UGL sites and they're marked as verfied distributors. Maybe I'm overreacting, but I find it weird that the same day they make a big bust, my source's site is no longer available.

    So where in the world is it perfectly legal to use gear? If there was a place out there that allowed steroid use and wasn't considered a third world country, I would seriously consider moving there for a little bit of time to focus on my training.

    well the law if very sketchy over this - and its down to inturpriation by the police officer / CPS / local authority.

    steroids , and i qoute from the 1968 medicines act, "Prescription Only drugs can be sold by a pharmacist if prescribed by a doctor " yet it also says "Pharmacy medicines may be sold by a pharmacist without prescription"

    it also goes on to say "It is not an offence to possess anabolic steroids for personal use, unless they are counterfeit. It is an offence to supply them. Therefore police can arrest for steroid possession only if they can prove the drugs are counterfeit (and therefore not prescribed by a doctor)...

    so surely this could go either way depending on which brand you happen to have? as if its an UGL then surely this is classified at 'counterfit', yet if it was a propper pharm company you would be fine!?!!?
