Mr. Neil Patterson aged 58 was arrested at a Beer Bar in Central Pattaya by officers from the Bangkok-based unit and taken to Pattaya Police Station following a lengthy investigation into the website which involved using a foreign operative to purchase steroids through the website. The reported owner of the website Mr. Chris Ireland who is thought to reside in Ukraine has already fled Thailand, however a raid of his property company in Pattaya took place and over 10 Million Baht’s worth of steroids and sex enhancement medication were found.

Instead of wasting their time on steroids, they should go after real drugs and drug dealers.

Or they should legalize it all and go after the crimes that really matter.

Steroids are real drugs

I wonder how much the website owner had to pay to get the chance to flee back to Ukraine.

Better to start with the Jet Ski scam. Then again, they are in on this aren't they?

I don't do steroids and never will - But if you go to any Gym in Pattaya you will easily see any one who does. Thai and foreigner.

Since I go to a gym and meet people in gyms I have heard exactly where you go to get the steroids over the counter from a Thai supplier.

So if it is that simple to get them - then it is going to be simple to sell them on abroad and make a profit.

I even read an article in one of the major international body building magazines touting Thailand as the place to go to get cheap steroids and bulk up.

If there is a demand for something then there will aways be a supplier. If the supplier was a legalised government agency selling safe drugs with a safe dosage, then the illicit trade "might" go away. Especially if you signed a disclaimer saying you are well aware of the side effects you will be liable to. IMHO.

I think this is already the case with cigarettes and alcohol ? and the disclaimer comes on the packet and "safe drinking" adverts....
