In Grozny, drug control service massively seizes muscle pills from pharmacies and shops
In Grozny, agents of drug control service have seized 14,000 packages of potent anabolic drugs from pharmacies, sports nutrition stores and gyms, the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) for Chechnya reported.
"They are looking for dietary supplements with high content of strong drugs. In general, those dietary supplements are bought by young people who want to quickly gain weight and build muscles," said Khasan, an owner of a sports nutrition store.
Entrepreneurs have reported that on March 16, at a meeting with the leaders of the Chechen Economic and Public Security Service, they were told that they were "poisoning young people."
A Chechen policeman has noted that inspections will be held throughout the republic.
Doctor Tamerlan has explained that such drugs can seriously damage health, including provoking infertility and cancer.
Meanwhile, dietary supplements are often sold directly in gyms, the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent reports.
