Gyms in Abu Dhabi raided for steroids

The Municipality of Abu Dhabi recently confiscated a large quantity of steroids and other banned drugs found during random inspections made at health clubs and fitness centres in the capital, a statement sent by the municipality announced yesterday.

The seized drugs, which included hormone drugs and unlicensed steroids, have been sent to the Health Authority Abu Dhabi (HAAD) to assess the level of risk they pose to public health and safety, the statement said.

Steroids are known to increase the risk of cardiovascular and liver disease. This risk is compounded because these drugs are often injected with the help of unsterilised syringes, which can subsequently cause HIV, hepatitis C and bacterial infections in the user.

Since the organisations from which the banned items were seized were only licensed as fitness centres, the municipal statement said that the centres were also at fault of practising unlicensed activities within their premises.

Khalifa Al Rumaithi, director of public health at the municipality, urged all residents and especially youngsters to abstain from using steroids and other drugs without an accompanying medical prescription.

“The municipality will continue to raise awareness about the risk of using such items, as well as take legal action against any violators. We therefore urge the public to report any fitness centres or suppliers of steroids that they come across,” Al Rumaithi said.

Who the eff shares syringes and uses unsterilized syringes?? I love the media sensationalism. And the HAAD is assessing the gear for risks to public health?! In the meantime, feel free to ingest a 1,600 calorie greasy deluxe burger at your nearest fast food joint b/c that's so much healthier for you.

Point is, they're illegal.

We may never know why, but for the time being, they are.

It's bullshit!

Be safe broskies!

Yes and I suppose that begs the question: "Why, exactly, are they illegal?" There must be a rationale reason the government doesn't want you or I to get bigger, faster and stronger. At least that's what Uncle Sam decided in 1990 when they made categorized aas as a controlled substance.

Exactly what i was thinking. I used to live in the UAE. Abu dhabi and dubai. (when i was still living with my dad) You used to be able to purchase aas is the pharmacies there. Still may be that way. Not sure. I wasnt juicing at the time, but ive purchaced anti-biotics and such there.

Still that way in Bahrain. Or it was, as of a couple of years ago. The anti-steroid hysteria must be spreading.

Ouch man. I feel for ya. Just a case of not considering how my post would affect others. By the way, stay way from those kinds of burgers.

Big Bird;

I agree why is it illegal!?! The issues with liver again, how about alcohol and smoking (hell, I'll throw my hookah in)

to get my point about roids (should be a freedom of choice)

Personally, the use of Uncle Sam, is to me the smaller end of it. We elected these assholes to come and rep us and got them turning it into a AMA and other research's payoff, and Roids lost. I think, AAS is the least of the problems, and sad to hear other countries that suck or kiss ass (those political figures) are following these sacks of shits way(s).

Sorry, had to vent! I am in true bitch form with or without the roids (womanhood time) and this whole issue of gym and raids and roids just took me 1to 1000.
