French police break up international doping ring

The group sold anabolic steroids over the Internet in Europe and the United States, counting nearly 10,000 customers in France alone, the French Sports Ministry said.

A judicial source said the group had nearly 200,000 clients in Europe for its steroids, which are used for developing muscle bulk.

investigators have also uncovered money laundering operations in Germany and the Netherlands.

It's great to see this happening across Europe, no matter what sports are involved. Oh, there were Americans too! But over 200,000 clients is a massive haul, especially when you have credit card data and delivery info. It's like Joe Papp's list X1000. And there's the money laundering in other countries to make it extra interesting.

Hey DAOTEC, you should probably move your original post out of the General News thread, since that thread is not in the clinic. We are not allowed to post about doping outside the clinic. Thanks for the link to the article though. You send a lot of good articles to the forum on lots of topics. :)

Apart from that I'd already posted a thread on that in the Clinic at about the same time as DAOTEC posted on it in the General News part. If DAOTEC creates a thread on it, I propose a merge (since at the time of writing there were 0 responses to mine anyway).

"10,000 customers in France alone, the French Sports Ministry said."

Ten Thousand. And most are not cyclists I would guess.
Just people looking be transformed. Transform moi.

While Inspector Bordry was obsessed over Cycling and Lance and his peepee, ten thousand athletes are buying peds over the interwebs in France. Good job Bordry.

And 190,000 others from all around Europe.
Probably means there are millions in the USA from other doping rings.
Big deal. None of them are Lance. Why is this dope bust story even here in the Clinic?


PED dealers do not need to advertise.

The anti-doping crusaders and haters do all the marketing and promo.
"Doping will Transform you. Make you a Champion among Champion."
"Talent is not as important as Doping."
"One Two Three Four Five Six Seven = Dope"

And the rreally enterprising cyclist look to parlay their boosted performance by paid endorsements for supplements like FRS, big pharma like B-M-S and oxy tents. Oh, and cancer awareness too!

That is exactly the BS I am talking about, thanks...
"Dope can be parlayed into big endorsements and cancer awareness"

Suckers actually BELIEVE it that crap LOL. Maybe you do?
"Dope can transform you into awesomeness."
"Talent is not as important as doping."

No wonder doping is at an all time high.
Hundreds of thousands of doper suckers.
Be stupid NOT to dope. Stupid is as stupid does.

That is why it is so very important to tell the truth about Lance.

"Dude, honestly, you are not going to be another Lance"
"All the dope in the world will NOT transform you into a Lance."

Of course that is true for the donkeys.
But also true for the thoroughbreds.

i thought the french were squeaky clean, and that's why they can't win anything............
It's not because there is a lot of idiots wanting muscles like Schwarzy or Rambo that we have to think that athletes are full of dope.

Do you think that every athlete uses cocaine because there is cocaine dealers in every country?
