Canadian Store Clerk Busted For Selling Illegal Supplements

October 21, 2008

Police have arrested an employee of ‘Your Vitamin Store’ in Victoria, British Columbia (Canada) for selling supplements that were actual steroids! The bust involved an employee selling an illegal supplement called "Methyl 1-Testosterone" (a.k.a. M1T).  The employee was charged with 6 counts of trafficking in a controlled substance (anabolic steroids) and one count of possession for the purpose of trafficking (anabolic steroids).

Legal Gear Introduced M1T

In the United States, the supplement company Legal Gear introduced M1T to the market in 2003. M1T was marketed as a “prohormone ” and legally sold in thousands of sports nutrition stores around the country as an over-the-counter “dietary supplement.” M1T and a variety of other prohormone products were banned in the U.S. in 2004 as the governemtn finally figured out that this and a host of other prohormones were actually steroids.

Steroid Law In Canada

In Canada, anabolic steroids and their derivatives are Schedule IV controlled substances under the Controlled Drug and Substances Act of Canada. Health Canada has issued warnings regarding the sale and purchase of M1T and other “unauthorized products containing anabolic steroids.” Health Canada blamed M1T for one reported adverse report of liver toxicity. Canadians are advised to contact the Health Products and Food Branch Inspectorate at 1-800-267-9675 if they find Anabolic Xtreme Superdrol, Methyl-1-P, Ergomax LMG, Prostanozol, FiniGenX Magnum Liquid, M1T (methyl-1-testosterone) Andro Technologies or any other products containing anabolic steroids on the Canadian market.
